The Narrow Gauge,

From the st. Clairsville Chronicle.
Persons who have been skeptical re-
garding the financial success of the
Narrow Gague from this place to Nef's
Siding, on the Central Ohio railroad, will
be surprised to learn that the directors
of the company have contracted for the
building Of the road, 81 miles in length,
to be completed not sooner than the first
of November, nor later than January
LIST. Our railroad men have made
but little noise or display, but have
quietly and and presistently labored
with the people to raise the amount
necessary for the construction of the road,
and have so far succeeded as 10 warrant
them in placing it under contract. The
contract has been let to Mr.. K. ID. Walsh,
who has had large experience in rail-
reading, having completed large con-
tracts on the Union Pacific, and various
railroads in New York, Pennsylvania,
aud other points. The contract is very
favorable to the company, and we con-
slider at exceedingly low rates. 1t
provides that the contractor shall grade,
bridge, level, set ties, and lay rail,
ready for the rolling stock, for $4,000
two thirds OF which, or $4,000, to 10
paid in cash. and $4,000 in bonds of the
road, to be paid in three installments of
$1,000 in cash, and $1,000 in bonds, each.
The first payment, less 20 per cent. Of
the cost, is 10 be paid when the engineer
of the company decides that one full
third of the work is completed. The
last payment and 20 per cent. of the first
two payments is to be withheld until the
entire line is completed and accepted by
the engineer of the company.
The company is to furnish con-
tractor with locomotive and car
for laying track, and Is to deliver
the iron at ITS junction with the Central
Ohio, and the ties al convenient points
on the line. Mr.. walsh has gang Of
men at work on the junction end, and In
a few days will place gang at this end
of the line and one in the middle. The
work will be pushed vigorously, and by
the first of January at farthest. our peo-
pie may expect to take ride over the
line. Let us hope that the completion of
this road will mark new era in the his.
tory of this staid old town. 1t undoubt-
eddy will, provided the people advance in
the spirit of enterprise in proportion to
the facilities afforded.

Cen TAIUR
White. for the Human Family.
Yellow. for Herses and Animals.

Those Liniments are simply the wonaeI
of the world. Their effects are little less
than marvellous, yet there are some tnlngs
which they will not do. They will not
cure cancer or mend broken bones, but
they will always allay pain: They rave
strengthened fingers, cured chr9nic rneu t
matism of maHy years standing. ana
taken the pain from terrible burns ana
scalds, which have never been done oy
any other article.
The White Liniment is for the human
family. II will drive Rheumatism, Sclatlca
and Neuralgia from the system; cure
most Cutaneous Eruptions; 1t extracts most
from frozen hands and feet, and the poison
of bites and stings Of venomous reptiles;
it subdues swellings, and alleviates pain
Of every kind.
For sprains or bruises 1t is the most
potent remedy ever discovered. The Cen-
taur Eminent Is used with great efficacy
for Sore Throat, Toothache, Caked Breasts,
Earache, and Weak Back. The following
is but sample Of numerous testimonials:

BELLAlRE.


Green corn has made its appearance
in this city, but as yet it is slow sale.
People are little afraid.
THE Democratic Convention to nomi-
nate two township delegates to the county
convention, will be held at City Hall for
Pultney township on August 9th, and the
county convention will be held at st.

be kept open from 3 o'clock until 7
o'clock.
HAYES is little below par here now,
and by the time the campaign gets fully
opened he will be about worthless.
THERE are many places along our
streets that are low and where water be-
comes stagnant, which, after standing
for some time, sends forth an offensive
and unhealthy vapor. Such places
should receive the immediate attention Of
our City Commissioner.

Dorgan, who lives in the Eighth ward,
took arsenic for the purpose of killing
herself. Yesterday morning sho died,

1t was developed that she had

verdict Of the jury, her death was as
signed to temporary insanity. The de-
ceased was an Irish woman, and had
been in the habit of excessive drink,
which was undoubtedly the cause OF her
death.

Modern women.

1t is sad commentary upon our
boosted civilization that the women of
our times have degenerated in health and
physique until they are literally a race
Of invalids-pale, nervous, feeble and
back-achy, with only here and there q
few noble exceptions in the persons Of
tho robust, buxom ladies characteristic Of
the sex in days gone by. By very
large experience, covering a period OF
years, and embracing the treatment Of
many thousands of cases ofthose ailments
peculiar to Women, DR.. Pierce, of the
Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has
perfected by the combination of certain
vegetable extracts, a natural specific,
which he does not extol as cure-sll, but
one which admirably tulflls singleness
of purpose, being most positive and re-
liable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that affiict the women of the
present day. This natural specific COM
pound is called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. The following are among
those diseases in which this wonderful
medicine has worked cures as if by
magic, and with q certainty never be-
fore attained by any medicines: Weak
back, nervous and general debility,
falling and other displacements of inter-
nal organs, resulting from debility and
lack of strength in natural supports, in
ternal fever, congestion, inflammation
and liberation and very many other
chronic diseases incident TO women not
proper to mention here, in which, as we'll
as in the cases that have been enuner-
ated, the Favorlte Prescription effects
cLres-the marvel of the world. 1t will
not do harm in any state or condition Of
the system, and by adopting its use the
invalid lady may avoid that severest of
ordeals-the consulting of family ply
stefan. Favorite Prescription Is sold by
dealers in medicines generally.
