Thomas Bailey, supervisor of trains on the
Parkersburg division, and Engineer John F.

eight cars loaded with meat. They took yard
engine No 81, aud attached 1t to the cars
and crossed over the bridge here to she west
side OF the river, aud, instead of backing
back to the ice. house. put on all the steam,
and started for Petersburg with the train
As soon rs the strikers discovered the trick
they brought passenger engine and blowing
an alarm, soon had n sufficient number TO
gether, and about ten minutes later started in
pursuit of the train. When Clayton and
Bailey discovered they were being pursued
they stopped west of Webster, on a curve
about FIVE miles from Grafton, and. deserving
their train. took TO the woods. The en- inc,
with the strikers on board, came dashing up.
and no. discovering the train ahead until
nearly upon it they were unable to stop, aud
the engine plunged into the rear The
strikers saved themselves by Jumping off the
engine. Six of them were injured, but none
dangerously. The strikers engine and sew
eral of the cars were considerably damaged
by the collision. They managed, however to
run their engine back to Grafton and bring
with them the captured train. Their return
was hailed with cheers from their comrades,
who excitedly and impatiently awaited them.
At the time the alarm was sounded many OF
the strikers were at church. and their sums
mary departure from the church and the
blowing of the engine produced great deal
of excitement among the citizens and when
the engine returned with the captured train
avery large crowd was gathered Mt the depot"

WEST VIRGINIA UNIvERsITY.-We call
the attention of our readers to the advertise
neut of the West Virginia University,
which is now running in our paper. 1t is
asserted that the University, under its new
administration, has awakened the pride and
enthusiasm of the citizens of the State in q
greater degree than ever, and will begin the
new year under the most favorable auspices.
With all political and ecclcstical prejudices
happily allayed and with President and Fac
ulty SO we'll fitted to popuIarize the Institution,
while maintaining its high standard of schol-
arship and efficient government, it is cons
hdently believed by the lenst sanguine of its
friends that the State University will speedi-
ly double the number of students, and fully
and permanently establish itself in the good
opinion and affection of all interested in the
higher education Of West Virginia's sons.

Mails up the river.

The steamer Gila took up from Ehrenberg several bags of news paper mail, destined to various points in Mohave county. Of course this method is better than not getting them at alli but pro bably nowhere in the United States is a similar number of read ing citizens treated as shabbily in the matter of mail facilities. as are the miners of Mohave County. A poor little horseback mail car. ries letters twice week--to some of them. but for papers they are dependent on an occasional steam boat, followed from the river by some friendly freight team. The development of Mohave County has reached point, where some- thing better is demanded.
