y w. & X. II. Notes.

The passenger station at north end Of
the wharf, has received coat Of paint
outside and in, and is rapidly approach
ing completion.
Mr.. Barclay, the engineer in charge
of the construction, has made very
convenient arrangement for passenger
station. out of the old building,
and aside from the low cell.
lngs, it will make q very
respectable depot. The stringers on the
trestle are IN position, and it will be
ready for the ties In few days. The
"cold snap" has interfered somewhat
with balIssting, but the trains have
been busy hauling and distributing
gravel, so there will be 70 delay when
the ground thsws enough to permit the
raising of the track.

tive of the groom, in South Wheeling,

OF the groom came in for full shsre of
commentator. After the marriage SER

AMUSING ocCURREScE.
About as amusing an occurrence as has
happened in this neck O. woods for many
day trsnspired in the suburbs of our
little city few evenings ago. Be it
known that youth from the near coun-
try, came 10 visit his sweetheart, and
found her sll ready to welcome his pres
ence, but no fire cheered the
gloom and gave warmth to the
icy air, for the supply OF coal was
used up, and our ardent lover fully real
lied that love alone couldn't prevent the
cold wind from chilling live body to the
marrow bones. But the gay Lothario
was not dismsyed by difficulties, and
with intrepid step, he entered neigh
Dor coal house and gathering up q huge
chunk of coal, that none but lover who
fully comprehended the necessity of the
situation would have tackled, he succeed
ed in tugglng it to the door, but just at
that moment voice that bsnished all
thoughts of security said pleasantly
Return, oh, wsnderer, return, and bring
thy burden" with hair standing on end,
aud teeth chsttering like fear in dry
bladder. The scared fellow glanced
around and saw the proprietor OF the
coal posing on the door step, who,
Though aged, was OF so iron a limb,
None OF the youth dared cope with him"
and back he carried the coal. The beauty
of this is it is true, and we give it TO tho
world for the purpose OF seeing it made
the subject of sublime etfusion either by
Harry Howard" or some other neigh
boring poet. WARREN.

No Returns.

Wednesday Benjamin Workman ar
rived IN this city on the Baltimore and
OAio railroad, bringing with him a
dozen chairs Of his own make. AT the
depot, Workman was met by an old ac-
auaintance named Jabe Gosney, whom
sll our citizens know. When the two
friends met, and the usual ceremony OF
salutations was gone through with, Jabe
proposed that Workman allowed
him TO assist in peddling
out the chars. The proposition
was accepted by the owner, who gave
Jabe six chairs and started him out to
dispose of them. Workman took the
remaining six and started in another d.
rection. At nigh. the two merchants
met, and report says, each one was feel
ing comfortably full of beer. Workman,
becoming tired OF his days labor, sought
lodging at Hotel de Wallace, and yes
terdsy morning started oGt for his
breakfast, believing that Gosney
would turn up and make proper returns.
n OF having found Gosney after he had
obtained his breakfast, Workman began
search for his missing "psP whom he
did not find tor some hours. Workman
then applied at police headquarters to as
certain if be could recover his property
which had been appropriated to his own
use by Gosney. Workman WAS informed
that it was breach of confidence rather
than theft. Gosney, who had become
quite filled with bad whisky, was quietly
reposing in the st. james alley, between
Main and Water streets, where Officer
Graham found him. The officer housed
Gosney at the lookup for hearing at
the police court this morning on charge
of beng drunk. Benjamin Workman
is countryman, and halls from the
neighborhood Of Roseby's rock.

Fearful Accident,

A terrible accident, involving the pro-
bable loss of one life and eEtsiling sor-
row on several others, occurred at Archi-
bald's coal bank, lower end of Richie
town, about noon yesterday. 1t appears
that miner named William Warren,
aged 49 years, was from some cause re-
moving one of the wooden props which
supported the roof of the bank. He did
not know that q great weight Of slate
rested upon the top OF the prop, and when
he became aware OF the fact, it was too
late to escape the danger. and the entire
mass fell upon his back and shoulders,
forcing his head down between his knees,
in which position be was held until his
tellow-workmen released him. He was
then carried by them from the
place of the accident, nine hundred
yards under ground from the mouth of
the mine, to his home near by, and DR..
J. II. Pipes summoned to attend him.
The doctor found Mr.. Warren's back,
shoulder and sides TO be crushed, the
thu NIB of his right hand very much lsc.
Grated and twisted out of JOINT, and sus-
tanning, it is feared, severe internal in
juries. Besides these, his face and head
are scratched, but not very badly. The
full extent of his injuries cannot be
known Tor two or three DAYS. Mr.. War
rem had been working at the bank but
short time, having recently removed here
from the East. What makes the case
more sad is, his family had only joined
him this week, and they had moved into
their new home Wednesday. Under DR..
Pipes skillful treatment, the patient is
doing as well as could be expected.

The Emma Graham passed down at 6
o'clock last night. In addition to large
passenger and heavy freight list she had
on board about sixty-fve families of en-
igrants, en- route for Pine Bluffs, Arksn-

The colony was organized in Allegheny
City, and is made up OF persons from
that city, Pittsburgh and the
adjoining boroughs. We were informed
by the leaders OF the movement that it is
their intention 20 engage in farming, for
which purpose they have been offered
land "on the shares" near Pine Bluff.
There were about ten unmarried men
with the colony, and great many child.
rem. The emigrsnts had their household
goods and large number of plows and
implements aboard the boat, so that
with the arrangements already made
for teams, they will be prepared
TO 90 to work as soon as the planting
season arrives. The colony seems to be
composed of good material to assure its
successful establishment, and we hope
they will be successful in their new
homes in tho sunny south"

Excelsior Glass Works.

The parties who made an offer Of
$4,000 to the banks of this city that are
interested in the Excelsior Glass Works
of Martins Ferry, have secured the
works and fixtures on condition that
they be allowed ten years in which to
pay the debt at six per cent interest.
The banks retain $4,000 worth OF the
stock. Now that the trouble has been
settled, it Is to be hoped that the parties
who have secured the works will st once
begin to make preparations for starting
this establishment, as it is of vital i'm
portsnce to the prosperity Of our neigh
boring town. We hope TO be able 70 re-
port the starting of the factory in few
weeks.

The Death of Pone pins.

Although the death of this distin.
guished ruler was reported in this city
by telegraph yesterday, there had been
no confirmation at the Cathedral at 10
o'clock last evening. AS soon as the re-
por. was received by Bishop Ksin, dis
patch was sent TO Cardinal McClosky, of
New York city, asking If he had been
officially informed of the sad occurrence.
A negative reply was telegrsphed back,
which reached here about o'clock.
As soon as the Bishop receives con-
frmalion of the fact, the Cathedral will
be drsped in mourning for the deceased
Pope, and suitable services conducted.
Should the reports prove true, there will
hardly be any demonstrations made be-
fore the first of next week.
