Tho Railroad Wreck.
In company with the msgnates Of the
Northern railroad your correspondent went
down the road Friday afternoon on coal
car to view the wreck of the creek bridge,
and it is total wreck, although at that
time the cars had been removed from the
creek and the sight was not so disastrous
looking as at first. The bridge was an ex-
cellent Howe Truss structure, and the &C
cident was caused on Tuesday afternoon BY
c., l.. 4 W. coal train backingi
in on the bridge, one car leav-
ing the track and striking the
trusSes, of course letting the bridge, cars
and all into the stream below The c., l..
& W. wrecking train, with large force OF
men, are at work. and expect to get tres
tie across BY Monday morning, bat from
the chaotic looks Of things on Friday we
would not think that possible. However,
trains will be running some time during the
week. The loss will amount in all to over
81 600.
Base Ball.
As predicted in our last letter, the st.
ClairsvilIe base ball club completely scooped
the GAINESVILLE boys, and came home highly
elated with their victory, and some $500 or
5000 better of, having won that much from
the GAINESVILLE people who thought their
boys could play ball. As usual, the Barnes.
vile papers abuse our club, the umpire and
the town, and will not admit their defeat,
and one paper speaks some Of game for
500 or more side on foreign ground. If
they really mean business. we think they
can be accommodated on the following
terms The game to be played on the Isl
and, by the same mines, or any other home
talent, for 5000 side and gate money, each
club to pay its own expenses. The umpire
to be selected by the sporting man of the
REGISTER, neither club to know who he is
to be till time for game. Such PROPOSE
ton as that from GAINESVILLE will receive
attention here at any time.
An infant child Of Vim. Humphrey died
on Friday evening. Grant Sedwick, brother
of the Sheriff, was up from Martins Ferry
few DAYS this week. Frank Collius. wife
and child of Newark, are visiting st. Glars
vile friends. With this letter the present
correspondent at st. Clairsville closes his
connection with the REGISTER, press Of
business compelling this step. 1t is reluct-
antly taken and we feel no little sadness in
bidding goodbye to our REGISTER friends.
