DIR. L. II. MOORE.
Eli Herdman Moore was born in Wells.
bury about the year 1916. He was a good
physician; had a large practice, and has
resided here all his life. He had a large
circle Of friends and acquaintance and
was a consistent member OF the Disciples
Church. His loss to the community will
be great; but his loss to the community
cannot he compared with that which his
children, four daughters, are called upon
to bear. Mira. Moore, the wife and moth
er, died July /, 1877. His family have
the sympathy Of the community in their
deep affection. His funeral takes place
to-day at . r. N.
A Castlemanis Run-historic stream-
correspondent OF the Herald, asks the
editor Of that paper 10 "please tell US in
FOUR next what the fare is up and down
IL mean from Wellsburg up and from
Wellsburg down. on the p. w. & KY.
Railroad and o6lige." The editor re-
specially refers the matter TO the cor
respondent Of the Wheeling INTELLIGEN:
CER, Having 4 disposition to dispose Of
matters Of that kind referred to up, we
reply that the P. w. & Ky. is not yet
collecting fares, not having ,arrived at
that important point. But when it does
the rates will probably be the same as
other roads in this section, !. C., between
three aud four cents per mile.
ABOUT FARES.
To make the question Of fare more
practicable 10 those interested, we would
suggest that when the cara commence
running that they board them and Just
keep cool until the conductor puts in an
appearance aud calls "iickets," they will
then and there learn in terms plain
enough 10 not be misunderstood, what the
fare ia "up and down." Our railroad
depot il receiving the finishing touches.
Our citizens are becoming used to the
railroad, ut present it does not attract
more than ordinary attention, il Is pre-
sumed that when the first regular trains
get to running that there will be a "nine
days" excitement then all will be as calm
ass May morning.
OUR MARROW GAUGE FRIENDS.
Our friends to the east Of US, who are
interested in the proposed narrow gauge
must not become impatient at Wellsburg
not manifesting more interest in that pro.
iect than she does A heavy railroad
lax, a long and anxious waiting, and after
all, u railroad only by the very finest
financial maneuvering, and being sort OF
semi-satistied, with no certainty rs to
what extent the present road will benefit,
seems 10 us a sufficient excuse for non
action.
We noticed in the ISTELLIGEHcER a
short time since an article giving a short
history Of Ohio Lodge MOI a. & A.
NJ, Of your city, in which reference was
made 10 an old charter, dating back to
~. That charter was issued 10 lodge
rs, TO be held at the old Mingo towns, in
the northwest territory or within five
miles OF the sane.n II bears date March
4th, 1900. It was issued by the Grand
Lodge Of Pennsylvania, and Is the prop.
erty Of Wellsburg Lodge No. .. A. F. &
A. NJ, the legal descendant o f"Lodge 49,"
AN OLD TRICK.
We heard Of an old trick being played
upon several Of our citizens recently. It
is about this: Mr.. Sharper calls and in
troduces some beautifully colored COM
mon salt, which he calls some very high
toned name, and states hat by putting
the contents OF the package in a lamp
containing carbon oil that il will prevent
the oil from exploding. Be this as it may,
but the late Mr.. Sharper was not con-
tent with selling a package OF prevents
tive here and there; he concluded TO
offer premiums-not chromos; but a
magnificent parlor chandelier to all that
would purchase a half dozen packages Of
his nOn-burster, the price Of half a dozen
packages amounting to some four or five
dollars, lie succeeded, we are told, In
taking in a few, promising to send the
chandelier by next train. Our friends
will remain in darkness n long time II
they wait for the light Of those promised
lamps to shine upon them. Buy good
lamps and oil from home dealers, and
you will need have no fear Of explosion
aud no use for blue salt. G. B. G.
