Beylaire auds. w. Railway,

At meeting of the Directors of the
Bellaire and Southwestern Narrow
Gauge Railway, held in Bellaire, on
Tuesday, a resolution was passed au-
thoring the President to take necessary
steps to secure charter tor the exten.
sion Of the line to Athens, Athens
county; also one allowing stockholders
drawback of one-third on freight and
passenger rates, until such time as divi.
dends and drawbacks amount to stock
taken, when it ceases. A resolution was
also offered to strike out Armstrong;
Mills and BeallsviIle from the original
charter; it is understood that this is for
the purpose of allowing the Company
to run by Centreville and up. Piney
Forks; after considerable discussion it
was laid over until the next meeting of
the Board For the purpose of work
ing more effectively to secure stock, &c I,
the road was divided into three divis!
ions, The first division extending from
Bellaire to Armstrong's-the second
from thence to Beallsville, and the third
from Beallsville to Woodsfield. We
cannot too strongly impress upon the
minds Of the people of the southeastern
part of the county, the importance Of
earnest and active effort to secure this
road. They need it-their necessities
require tit will pay all concerned in
it, and there is no good reason why it
should not be built. We are satisfied
that whatever route obtains it, Will be
througb b the energy of the people along
the line There are conflicting interests,
and those who work the hardest and
longest, and lend the greatest amount
of material aid will secure the coveted
prize.-Belm0nt Chronicle, 18th inst -

A strong Man in MS OLD Age,

The Salt Lake City letter to the
Graphic says: 1.-The close of Brigham's s
career as President of the Mormon
Church bids fair to be quite as stormy
as its opening. -Four times since he
embraced Mormonism, in 1882, has he
ben compelled to abandon a fine prop
erty and fee to new ''gathering OF
saints" With all his troubles as heal
of that peculiar people, he still bids fair
to live out the century. He was born
June l, 1901, and endowed with the
finest physical constitution man could
be blessed with. He was put up to live
hundred and twenty years-tlle patri
archal span Of life. Troubles and hard
ships in early days have, undoubtedly
shortened his life from twenty to forty
years. 80 that, accidents excepted, he
will probably die between eighty aud a
hundred. He is six feet high, and un-
commonly compacted and well 'muscled
He measures forty four inches around
the chest, and such is bis breadth in
mid person that strangers who see him
for the first time in his short, sgray, bu-
siness coat, imagine him a rather 'stum
| py' man several inches. shorter than he
lis. His teeth are rows Of diamonds
for solid strength; his eyes a peculiar
bright blue gray, and bis hair OF thai
| light, golden hue and fine texture whict
indicate just enough and not too mncf
of the sanguine temperament "A sur
geon of the United States ArmY. :lwhe
i, intimately acquainted with his phys
ical characteristics, pronounces him thu
most perfect type of a good constitu
lion he ever treated Take him for al
in all, those who look forward to hi:
death to begin revolution in Utah ma,
as well dismiss their hopes, For. if no
worried by Imprisonment, he will doubt
less live to witness the funerals of hi
/ enemies and outlast another generation
of wives, as be already has outlastet

AQuerr way 10 be ki,,ed.

Mr. Pickett Baggan, respectable cit.
izen Of more than forty years residence
in this county, met most singular
death at his home, near Pine Apple, n
short time since. He was sitting in the
piazza of his house, in rocking chair,
and near the railing or banister, his feet
resting at the edge of the flooring. In
this position his feet slipped off. the
floor toward the ground, and his body
being allowed to follow on account Of
the moving forward of the chair on the
rockers; his chin caught on the upper
railing, and the back Of the chair came
up againat the back of his heal, and so
remained, so that he was suspended in
this singular manner. Being quite old
and infirm, he was unable TO extricate
himself; and the weight Of his body res
ting on his chin prevented his opening
his mouth to call for help, and he thus
died from stlangulalion.-G,seaviAe

E The proposition to give to stock
holders drawback on shipments has
been acted upon and adopted by the Di-
rectors of the B 4 S. w. Railroad. AS
we understand it, this arrangement gives
to the holders of stock discount of 335
per cent upon all freights and passenger
fares, until the amount Of such discounts
added to the dividends shall equal the
face value of such stock. Aprovision is
incorporated in the res olution which is
designed to make It's advantages apply'to
all stock holders who may sell their pro
ducts before shipping. Thus il A. a
stock holder, sells ahorse to B,who ships
by this road, the discount may be applied
on the stock Of A, who. will Of course re
ceive Of B an equivalent therefor. This
gives much wider latitude to the opera.
ton OF the measure, which in its original
form, no one could avail himself of ex

In the meeting at which this measure
was adopted, it was stated by those repre-
senting Bellaire, Armstrong; Mills
and Beallsville that, so far as they could
learn, their farmers we're unanimously in
favor Of it. The only objection came
from this end of the line, ard this oWec
ton was almost wholly removed by tht
extension Of its provisions so as to en-
