The WashOut Oh the Ii, d O,R. X.
Repaired,

Yesterday morning the first train pass
ed over the trustle work just completed
at the great "washout on the Is. " u
r. K. about fives miles east of Dee
Park, so no further detention or incon-
vcnience from this cause, TO travel will
occur,
From an eye witness we learn some
particulars about this accident that are
OF unusual interest. The exact location
of the scene of damage Is two and half
miles east of Swanton on the seventeen
mile grade. The road here runs on the
side OF the steep mountain for some dis
lance when bend occurs, which necessl-
tates slight divergence to the right,
supposing the party to be looking west
ward. Here fill of several hundred
yards occurs.
The rain fall must have been regular

tain side, which right there is mostly ex-
posed shale rock, and almost perpendicu
lar. Our informant says there are gull
lies in this rock, caused by the rushing
waters, eighteen inches deep. Along the
trench this water rushed toward the
| point of divergence, where the stone was
laid under the road bed for its
| exit on the other side. OF course such
vast volume of water could not escape
through the ordinary channels fast
enough, and the process of overlooking
the trench and filing up the space be-
tween the track and mountain side was
rapid and frighttul. The water soon
reached the top of the road bed and be-
gan rushing down the track and
over it into the chasm on
the other side. The volume of water
became greater, swifter and more power
full and finally with its vast strength tore
the rails, ties and bed away. Once start
ed, the work of destruction was swift
and complete. For over $50 yards there
was wash of fully 81 feet by actual
measurement. At the time the road bed
began to give way there was long train
oCcoal gondoas thereon, with the engine
taking water at Penstock, and the
helper " at the other end, and below
the brake. One Of the trains men fortu-
nately saw the brake start, and succeeded
i'll uncoupling the trains, but not until
seventeen cars were swept away, and
washed in the frightful chasm below.
The damage happened last Sunday
| night.

VINO Is HE?-we clip the following

VINO is HE?-We clip the following
from the Martins Ferry Neios:
"Our local from Colerain informs us
that the enemies of Judge Chambers are
making mighty effort in Colerain 10
stir up opposition to the Judge They
charge him with throwing up his hat
and shouting for the rebellion when he
heard ofthe defeat of the Union army at
Bull Run. They also charge him with
making undue effort to convict man
that was charged with rape, and with
allowing attorneys too heavy fees, &c.
But when you sound them closely, the
main cause of their spite is because he
fined and imprisoned certain whiskey
vendors and sent to the penltentiary men
who had committed crimes while under
the influence Of whiskey. 1t is reported
in that township that a whiskey dealer
in Wheeling has said that he will spend
$1,000 fori. the purpose of defeating
Chambers. ..

Louisville Leaf Tobacco Market.
LOUISVILLE, August H..

LOUISVILLE, August II.
Reported Expressly for the Register.
The weather and season have been
most favorable to the proper maturing
and development of the tobacco crop for
the past six weeks with every reason Ia
| hope that they will continue so until the
crop is safely housed; a great deal Of the
| tobacco has already been cut, and should
frost be delayed until the 9Th OF October,
it will all then be secured. The improve
ment IN the crop has been 50 marked
since the first of August, as to exceed the
hopes of even the most sanguine, both as
regards quantity and quality.
Early ir the season fears were enter
tanned that the crop would almost prove
an entire failure for want of plants, and
later on approximations that the drought
| in some states and too much rain in
others, would affect it, caused speculation
to enter the market, and prices soon adj,
vanced to warrant the belief that the
crop had been disconnected fully one
half, but today the yield of the West
promised tuiiy ee-tourths and of bet
ter quality than was expected. Our
/, market, of course, has responded to the
situation, and prices are lower on all
grades The change in prices during the
past two weeks have been but slight, but
decided enough to show weakness in the
market The manufacturers are buying
only moderately, laying in no stock as is
their wont, but seem willing to buy only
as they may have immediate uses for the
tobacco. There has been no particular
change III St"gic leaf. The proportion Of
this sort in IT," present crop Is so limited
that it is not quo.nbly any lower, except
filler leaf and ordinary selfworkerS,
which may probably he brought little
cheaper than they could have been n
month or two age.
In the absence of statistics for this
week, it is proper to state that the bust
ness has been large and compares well
with other years.
