A DEVILISH DEED.
DiabolicaI Attempt TO Wreck a ID. d D.
Passenger Train.


About 2:45 O'Clock yesterday morning,
while James Smith, a boiler at the La
Belle mill, was going from his home near
Thirty-eight street to his work, he OBJ
served some obstruction on the b. q ..
track at the La Belle crossing. A nearer
approach showed him that a fiat car loaded
with pig iron had run down from the River
side switch, and had. jumped the track Just
at the crossing. At the same moment OF
the discovery he heard the whistle Of the
3 o'clock passenger train as it left the Ben
wood station. Realizing that prompt &C
ton alone could prevent a bad &C.
cident, he threw away his dinner
bucket, and running 10 the mill,
he seized a watChman's torch and,
before the sstonished guardian could
guess the wherefore of his sudden action,
disappeared down the track in the direC.
ton from whence the train was coming.
The whistle OF the engine as II lett the coal
chutes at the county line fastened his hy-
ing feet, and at Thirty.sixth street he sue
Ceeded in stopping the engine. Having
explained the matter he was taken aboard,
and the train ran slowly up to the crossing
when the obstruction was removed and the
train came on up to the depot. The car
having jumped the track Just at the curve,
the headlight would have failed to show its
position. and but for Smiths prompt &C.
ton a terrible accident would undoubtedly
have occurred. An investigation yester'
day showed that some scoundrel must have
loosened the brake and run the car down
the grade for the deliberate purpose OF
causing a wreck.

Its Disgraceful Conditional River
Mans MISUNDERSTANDING Of an In.
diEnatton Meettns.
There are many things about Wheeling
which are not at all creditable to the Nail
City, and which do not strike the average
stranger who may drop down among us
with awe and admiration, and chief among
these is what is by courtesy called a wharf,
The condition of this frontispiece OF the
town has, for many months, been dis.
graceful in the extreme, but of late il has
rapidly grown worse, and to-day is almsst
impossible for any manner of vehicle
which human ingenuity has designed.
Complaint after complaint has been sent in
to the Committee On wharyes and to Council
itself, but beyond the usual hum drum,
sleepy and tedious discussion which the
advent of anything of importance usually
proyokes in that august body, and the
always-to-be expected wrangle over whose
Business it is to attepd to anything, moth
ing has been done, and the result is that
whereas if the wharf had received proper
attention at first, the repairs might have
been made at tritling cost, now nothing
short of the entire repaving of the same
will at all fill the bill, at cOrrespondingly
great outlay.
Yesterday afternoon a REGISTER reporter
mel a we'll known steamboatman, and OBJ
serving the cloud which rested upon his
brow and the frown which rufiied his gen.
orally placid features, asked what was the
matter.
whats the matter?' said he, 'look at
that wharf. When we hand over the eX-
orbitant fees we are compelled to pay, we
expect to get value received for our money,
or in lieu OF that, at least decent acconmo-
dations. What we do receive you can see.
That wharf is a disgrace to any one horse
town along the river. Hardly a day passes
but two or three drays or wagons break
down, and at night, when the boats land
passengers, they have to be pilo.ed up the
stone pile with lanterns, to prevent their
breaking their necks. l tell you something
will have to be done, or an indignation
meeting will be called to protest"

fable measure, and the indignant river

SLY GAME
A Prominent B"ridgepOrter Playing IL
Very Low Down.

A few days since a prominent business
man of Bellaire received notice that a draft
for $50 had been sent him in payment OF
some goods sold. After sufficient time
bad elapsed for it to come, he, thinking all
was not right, notified the banks In the
neighhorhoed of the fact and told them
not 10 cash it. By some means the letter
containing the draft was sent TO the
Bridgeport post.ofiCe, and was handed to a
prominent citizen of that place, who
stands very high in church work,
and bears the reputation Of
an honest man. His name is very similar
TO the name of the party to whom the draft
was payable, but not identical. After re.
ceiving the draft he presented it TO the
bank for payment, and the bank refused TO
cash il. He went away and in a short
time came back again and insisted on its
payment, saying that the money had been
owing him for some time and he was
anxious to get II. The cashier again re-
fused. and he then said it was all right and
he would endorse it and thus save the
bank from any loss. The cashier tele-
phoned the Bellaire man and notified the
postmaster OF Bridgeport, who went TO the
citizen ard demanded the draft, which he
Immediately handed over. The matter
will probably rest here, and no further &C.
tion be taken in the matter owing to the
standing of the party. 1t might make a very
bad business for him.
