PAREERsBURs, August 12.-Leaying Park
ersburg Sunday night on the popular
steamer ST. Lawrence, with large number
OF passengers on board, q pleasant evening
was spent as We sped down the Ohio. On
board were several from Wheeling and
Pittsburgh, among whom were noted Mr..
{. {. Emmans and wife, of Pittsburgh,
and Colonel Ed. L. Rose, OF Wheeling. The
fog caught Cs q short distance below CALI.
polls, where the boat was compelled to tie
up until near eight clock Monday morn
ing. Reaching Huntington, the best adyer
tised city in the Union, about noon, We
were soon comfortably domiciled at the old
familiar Merchants Hotel, at present in
charge of the genial Colonel Bob Mathews.
In looking over this prosperous and grow
ing city, named in honor OF one OF the
great railroad magnates OF the United
States, the
Stranger II Favorably Impressed
with the place, and the enterprise noted on
every side presents an encouraging pros.
pect for the future of Huntington. The
city seems 10 possess one great advantage
over many others, and that is the presence
of q soil fitted for brick making. The old
buI Mt district, where u whole block was de-
stroyed few months ago, is now a first.
class brick yard, and large stock Of brick
now ready fer use, and will be used for re-
building the block with good substantial
dwellings and business houses, which be.
fore contained mostly frame buildings.
Mr.. Thos. Michey, late Of Wheeling. has
recently located here for the practice Of
law.
Dr. J. Il. Murdoch and son are spending
a short time at White Sulphur Springs and
will also visit the Red Sulphur before re-
turning to Parkersburg.
Colonel Ed /. Rose left for nome on the
ST. Lawrence Thursday night.
Observing Passengers
over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
note that the conductors are very courle-
Gus and attentive 10 passengers, and es-
pecially so TO ladies who are travelling
alone. But there seems TO be q fault in
regulations somehow, as the brakeman
lassed through the car after leaving the
Gel OF and swept il out, which made il very
unpleasant 10 occupants of the car. The
train had made stop Of over twenty min.
utes-ample time 10 have cleaned the car.
II was after dark when the train pulled out
of town, and the conductor wss noticed
going through the rear car with the signal
lamps. which he attached TO the rear end Of
the train, another evidence OF somebody's
inattentOn.
