the b. & O. depot, in this city. Train-diE
patcher Norrington. just before the morning
train on the Hempfeld pulled out, instructed
William Mills, o young man, aged about Is,
whose hone Is In Claysville and who Is EN-
p!oyed as brakeman on that train, to Tag
the train while going mp Sixteenth street.
He went Into the baggage car to attend to
some duties. and as the train started across
the bridge, he started for the engine, intend
ing to reach the cowcatcher by the time the
train stopped for the helper. SO as 10 be able to
run ahead with his flag. The engineer saw
him come out OF the baggage car door and
reach the top OF the tender, then turned to
attend to his engine. When the helper had
gotten into position the signal 10 start was
given, but no hsgman was to be seen ahead
and the engineer refused to move.
A search was instituted for Mills and at
last he was found lying on the Ice at
the edge Of the creek, under the Main
street end OF the bridge having fallen from
the tender through the bridge, q distance Of
10 feet. Mr.. EoFrington quickly procured

Yesterday in the House OF Delegates Mr..

luton No. 10, as follows:

That the Directors OF the Peniteptiary In
this State DO and they are hereby instructed
not to make any contract for the hire OF con,
yict labor for less sum than rs cents per
day.. But this resolution shall not affect any
contract now In force.
This, as waste DO expected, provoked some
discussion in which Mr.. Burt took a promi.
nent part. He said the question was in the
very shape he wanted TIN. 1t had been pre-
sented by the majority party, and was being
objected to by It's apparent friends. Tho gen.
tleman reminded him OF the position OF their
party preceding the last election. At meet
Ing held In this city, one OF the Democratic
orators In laying the positions OF bis party be-
fore the people got on to this penitentiary
system was on dangerous ground, and
1t did not surprite any one except the Demo.

strictly identified with the minority ha was

msjority how TO act upon this question.
The industrial and common interests Of the
State demanded the total abolition Of the con.
tract system. and II they would still retain
the public confidence they should pass the

This reused the Democratic wrath. and
Messrs. Daley, Armstrong and others went

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffeD
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one-third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: plate
of nickfe composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &c, are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to adj
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
