THE PARKERsBURa MEETING OF
THE WP&CR co.

We published yesterday, a dispatch
IRON Parkersburg, giving brief synoP-
sis OF the proceedings OF the meeting Of
the Board OF Directors OF the Wheeling,
Parkersburg and Charleston railroad
conpsny. held at that place on Tuesday
last
more specific report OF the result oil
the meeting is embodied in the follow
ing resolutions which were adopted by
the Board:
The report OF Engineer Sickles, hay-
log been submitted to the Board fixing
the line Of toe location OF the road, and
also communication from J. y. Cam
den. stating that responsible parties are
ready 70 contract with the company to
build the road when the right OF way is
obtained, and the company is in condi-
ton to make such contract:
Resoiryd, That this company apPre-
ciates the importance OF taking prompt
and efficient measures TO secure the
right OF way and the building oi IN"
road, and that the aid and cooperation
OF the people along the line be earnestly
asked to effect tins purpose.
Rssolred further, That as 1t appears
from a published circular that the peo-
pie on the Ohio side OF the river are try
ing to furnish 500 600 in addition to the
rlgh: vi way to build road on the
Ohio side OF the river from Marietta to
Bellaire, while on the West Virginia
side We are asked only to furnish the
right OF way, that if our people now iall
10 secure the road on the West Virginia
side on conditions so reasonable, 1t Will
no, be creditable 10 their enterprise or
public spirit.
RysoIrgd f0rihgr, That with view 10
an efficient organization IN managing
the affairs Of the company, looking TO
the procurement OF the right OF way and
getting the road in shape to.be placed un-
der contract, that a committee consisting
of q ". Thompson, Jr., Vice President;
Chas. II. Shattuck and w. y. Chancei,
Tor ne appointed, who shall have inll
power and authority 20 employ assist
ants and 10 DO all things deemed neCes-
sary 10 obtain the right OF way and to
furnish TO this company full information
in regard to the same, that the engineers
in charge report to the committee and
the said committee report from time to
time to the board.
The last resolution invests the com
mittee with "iull power End authority
to employ assistants and to do all things
deemed necessary to obtain the right OF
way"
1t is to be hoped that this committee
will exercise that power to the extent OF
settling and securing the right OF way
beyond any quibbling and without
further delay. This they must do II
they want the road built.
We pointed out, few days ago, the
only direct and business method 10 &C
complish this. Ii the right OF way can
not be obtained through negotiations
with the owners OF the land, the only
alternative lett is to obtain it through
the courts, and the longer application to
the courts is deferred, the longer will
this matter be hanging tire.
Let the committees report TO the
company be in the form OF deeds Tor the
right OF way over the whole route:

The APpRoACHIna ELECTIONS


The elections to be held in several
OF the States next week, are not devoid
OF cOnsideral interest for an "Oti yea"
The attention OF the country has been
chiefly turned 10 those IN New York
and Virginia.
There are very conflicting opinions
about the results in each OF these States.
The fact is, no one is bold enough to
venture upon any very definite opinion.
AS to New York the political situation
is 80 mixed that the campaign on both
sides is looked upon as an experiment
for which the past does not furnish any
criterion upon which to base calcutta
ton.
At Washington city the New York
situation is being discussed a good
deal by the politicians and it
is stated that among Republican
officials in high positions there is
grave doubt entertained as to the re-
suit. \ dispatch from that city 10 one
OF the New York papers says that "le,-
tiers from New York 70 prominent Re-
publiCans here are not encouraging.

this connection would surprise many.

! Tuesday. The Readjuster leaders, con-
trary to the course heretofore pursued,
, decline to give estimates OF majOrities.
1t is known, however, that they have
secured a liberal campaign fund, and
agents have been dispatched to the yari-
Gus counties with money with which to
pay the captation tax for the Colored
voters OF 1850. In one county, few
days ago, the capitatiou tax of POO de.
linquent Colored voters was paid.
Whilst the Democratic State Committee
has but little money on hand, the coun-
ty committees generally are putting forth
their utmost efforts, and it is likely the
cLpitation tax of the delinquent whites
will generally be paid up before election
day. Despite the sweeping claims of
the more sanGuine on each side, the
contest at this time promises to be close,
both on the State and Legislative
tickets.

Any one with ordinary intelligence
and acquainted with all the circum'
stances, can understand why the Pres
| dent shOuld be anxious to have Mae
Neagh remain in the Cabinet until al
ter the settlement OF this Star route
business. Both before and after Mr.
Gartieli's death il was loudly asserted
by people who ought 10 have known,
and very likely did not know better,
that with Mr.. Arthur in the Presiden-
tial chair the Investigation into the a.
legged malieasanCe OF Brady ct al. would
be suspended, and the matter allowed 10
drop. If under 4 newly appointed At
torney General there should be Il failure
to sustain the Indictment or secure a
conviction, the same people would not
hesitate 10 insinuate that such failure
was due TO a want OF will, and that Mr..
Arthur's administration had found it
convenient to slight the prosecution. 1t
is natural that in order to avoid the pcs
siOility of such misrepresentation Mr..
Arthur should desire that the Attorney
General who instituted the pending
suits should press them to conclusion.
Twenty Years of Civil Service Reform.
Chicago Times Qnd.)
Mr.. Window is reported as saving
that he had given the subject OF civil
service very careful consideration during
his brief stay in the treasury depart
ment, and that the question had been
frequently discussed with President
Garfield, who was earnestly in favor OF
some practicable system which would
correct the evils OF the present mode of
making appointments. The country has
been in the control Of the Republican
party for twemty years. During that time
federal employments, like the popula-
ton, have enormOusl V increased. The
100, COO federal otfice-holders are all Re-
publicans. General Grant appointed
commission to devise mt Cd OF reform,
but there wasn't any refolm. President
HAYES talked reform for four years by
the lineal foot, but there wasn't any re-
form. At least, it is not supposed that
there Was any, else why the need OF
President Gartield's earnest desire Tor
some practicable means OF correcting
existing evils? President Arthur talks
civil service reform with its practical
professor, John A. Logan. 1t would
seem, then, that in its twenty years OF
power, during which the population OF
the nation has been doubled, the Re-
publican party has fostrred the vicious
spoils system, and that the most earnest
of its reformers had only all earnest
wish Tor reform without any plan ior
it forward. Suppose that the
Republican party ne given another score
OF years In which to reform the service
which it has debauched. In that time
will il have accomplished any results?

SNEEZING SCENE.

Probably one of the meanest stage tricks
that was ever played was played on Mary
Anderson. 1t viii be remembered that in
the play of '1ngomar," Parthenia and the
barbarian have several love scenes, where
they lop on each other and hug some
that is, not too much hugging, but just
hugging enough. Ingomar wears q huge
fur garment, made of lions skin or some
thing. One day he noticed that the moths
were gathering INTO it, and he told his SER
want to see about the moths and drive
them out. The servant got some insect
powder and blowed the hair of the garment
full of it, and scrubbed the inside of
it with benzine. Ingomar put it on just
before he went on the stage, and thought
it didn't smell just right, but he had no
time to inquire INTO it. He had not got
fairly into his position before Parthenia
came out on hop, skip and jump. and
threw herself all over him. She got one
lung full of insect powder and the other
full of benzine, and as she said, ''Wifc- al
ways love me, Ingomar?" she dropped her
head over his shoulder and said in an aside
sEFor the love of Heaven, what have you
been drinking?" and then she sneezed a
couple of times. Ingomar held her up
the best he could, considering that his nose
was full of insect powder, and he an.
swered, Il wilt, and then he said to her
quietly. "Dam-ino what is it that smells
So" They went on with the play between
sneezes, and when the curtain went down
she told Ingomar to go out and shake
himself, and he did, 1t was noticed in
the next act that Ingomar had linen III
ster on, and Mary snoze no more.

attended by his two little children, had
been INDUCING quite freely in intoxicating
beverages; in fact he was under the infiu-
ence of liquor. He concluded that he
must have another drink before returning
home, while his little cqildren were plead
ing with him to take them home, OF at
least to some place of shelter. This he re-
fused to do, and as a result the little ones
cried most bitterly. He left them on a
corner while he visited neighbering
saloon, and during his absence the little
children strayed away. The father, and
shortly afterwards the mother, returned
and found the children missing. There
was some excitement for the time being,
but the lost children were soon recovered,
and the father considerably sobered off be-
fore he started for home.

STAGE STORIES.
The Dramatic Attractions in
this City.
A General Summary of In
.teresting Incidents.
GALLEY SLAVE.

This evening BARLEY Campbell's pic
turesque play of the Galley Slave" will
be produced at Harper's theatre, with an
exceptional caste, including Miss Maude
Granger, Miss Gussie DeForrest and Frank
Evans, of the original troupe that present
ed it in New York. The piece is probably
the strongest of all the authors produc
ton, having an ingenious, yet well defined
plot, powerful dramatic situations, while
the language is both terse and brilliant,
in thorough keeping with the action of
the play. The present company is very
capable one, and its members have been
selected with special reference for the parts
which they are to assume, and their delin-
cation of the authors ideas is both inter
esting and enjoyable. Miss Maude Granger,
as Cicszy Blaine, has an opportunity of ap
pearing in some elegant costumes, and this
feature is fully utilized to show how at
tractive exquisite dressing can make a
character. Miss Gussie DeForrest, in the
classic role of FRANCESCA Remina, is as sue
cessful as when she appeared in the less
trying character of Psyche. Frank Evans,
as Sidney Norcotte, is also very fine, while
the remaining members of the troupe con-
tribute their share to the success of the
piece. If merit is any attraction, the
theatre viii be crowded this evening.

A WANDERER.

A woman evidently deranged arrived
from Chicago, bearing with her tiny
piece of humanity that first saw the light
of this world some five weeks ago in
the hospital at St. Louis. The woman
and her little child are in search of Thorn
as c. Flood husband of the one and father
of the other, and if the womans story can
be believed she certainly has had novel
experience Her trials and yicissitndes
as related by herself are substantially as
follows:
She is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas
where she married T. C. Flood five years
ago. Her name is Kitty C. Flood. Her
husband is represented as a womans rights,
tenn perance lecturer, whose mental equil-
ibrium is sadly out of Balance. He was a
machinist by trade and was also musician
of some prominence. Last June he left
his wife and home and wandered away
since which time he has never been heard
from. His wife soon after his departure,
sold all the household effects and convert
ed everything she had into ready money
for the avowed purpose of searching for
her wandering leige lord and master. She
visited all the cities of the south, and
passed up to Cincinnati. At each place
she made inquiries of the absent Flood
At indianapolis she heard through the
police that a man answering Floods de-
scription was in st. Louii, and to that
city Ishe made her way. Her funds were
exhausted and she was assisted from place
to place by the police. At St. Louis she
was taken to the hospital where she gave
birth to a son and heir, that she called In
dianoplis- America; Flood.
As soon as she was able to travel she
started for Chicago, and from that city she
made her way.to Rock Island. She claims
to huve an aunt residing here named Mrs.
Lydia Wright, but no such individual is
known, so it is probably one of her strange
lallucinaions. She is perfectly harmless,
and regards the police and their head-quar
tiers as her natural home.
1t is probable that she will depart for the
west the first of the W eek.

THE TRYsrING PLACE.

There is young and prepossessine
travelling man who visits this city, and is
at the present time quartered at the Harper
House, who came very near furnishing a
first class Sensation last evening. He is
presuming on his form, and imagines that
the fair sex are his vassal slaves from the
moment he is visible unto them. Yester-
day morning note was received by Ger.
tain lady of this city, IN which the writer
volunteered to furnish information concern
ing an article that had been lost provided
she would meet him at the ST. Joseph, S
Catholic church, at the hour of o'clock.
The epistle, which was signed *. Y. q"
was promptly handed to the husband of
the recipient. He, in company with a
police officer, visited the appointed spot
at 8 o'clock, and there found q well dressed
