that the gloomy morning made waiting
very tiresome, the train for SteubenvIiIe
was half an hour late, but il came at last
and | boarded the last car Just Ia time to
notice that several young gentlemen
from Wheeling, evidently seemed very
anxious TO obtain certain seats in the rear
of the car. A second glance told me
that party of pretty young school girls
were nestled together in that vicinity, SO

"'twss ever thus" After a short run
the train Stacked its speed and we crossed
a trestle work bridge. This, the con-
ductor tells me, is the one which was
burnt by trsmps short time ago. and ne
adds that firm in Chicago have an iron

place it here as soon as the stone founds'

topic of conversation was the
meeting of the Bar Association which
Was to be neld in the evening, as n token
of respect to the memory OF two OF It's
late members, one having been the great
est Democrat OF this section OF the State.
Col. q. W. McCook, and the other Il
well known ex-J Judge, w. r. Lloyd. 1t
is expected that great number OF per-
sons will bo present, and that 1t will be
An affair worthy of those to whom It's
tributes will be paid, and OF those who
pay them. A letter OF sympathy viii be
RI ad from Senator George IL. Pendleton,
and one from Hon u. Convers. Among
the speaker will be Hon. j. Ii. 5. Train
er, Col. McCauslin, ex-Judge Miller,
Judge Martin, w, ?. Hays and w. A,
Owesncy. Mr.. Trainers eulogy
VIII undoubtedly be the
feature of the evening, although all the
gentlemen named, are among the best
speakers IN the State. The Rev. DR..
Beatty will open and close the meeting
with prayer. The fame of Col. McCook
has passed from newspaper to ewspsPer
all through the land, and his history is
public property and will be carefully
guarded. The name of Judge Lloyd car
ries weight with it only IN this neighbor-
hood, but here be is remembered with q
sigh, and words o! praise from all who
knew him.
Considerable excitement was created
last night by the spreading OF report
that serious accident had occurred on
the Pan Handle road. 1t seems that last
night, MS q freight train, OF which there
were two sections, passed through the
tunnel ut Bloomfield, several cars be-
came detached from the first section, and
on them was a brakeman. Before the
second section could be signa!led, it came
smashing into the hind car, killing the
| brakeman, whose Eame was Joseph KS
senger, of Pittsburgh, and wreeking part
OF both trains. Each engineer, of course,
blames tho other, and says the other fell
| low is the fellow. | cannot say whose
fault 1t was, but man was killed by
somebody's csrelessness, and yet 1t attracts
no more notice than if it had been stray
J dog. Speaking of this accident reminds
rne that the excellent hospital which the
| Pan Handle company used TO MAINTAIN
here for persons injured on its line, has
been removed to Pittsburgh for unknown
reasons.
Next Sunday morning the new weekly
will appear. 1t Is TO be called the Sun
dag Morning Local, and Mr.. Matlock, 3
we'll known journalist Of this city, will
edit it. The opinions in regard to its
success are somewhat varied, but guess
| it will do fairly, although its name is not
the best which could have been chosen.
The pretty waiter girl saloon is still
in !ull blast, all efforts 10 close 1t proving
unavsillng though there are 1T present
three indictments against the proprietor,
two for selling liquor to minors, and one
tor selling whisky. He acknowledges
the latter, but fights the former two, and
will probably win his cases. His trade
has gradually been dying out, although 1t
is still good. and ne the novelty OF the

further. He intends to open y grand
summer garden and have dozen or so

A tramp named John keyser was
found on the railroad near MIngo, few
days since, with his feet and legs horri-
bly, frozen. He was not expected TO live,
and St the very least, an smputstion was
regarded as necessary, but with the Gus.

bis race, he is recovering fast and will
soon be out.
In The afternoon | strolled into the ell.
