on the public square to morrow evening
should be well attended. An evening
paper said, that, the meeting arrangement
being novel one, will attract large
crowd and insure other meetings, and
good time generally. We have understood
all along that the services to be held were
to be OF religious character. II such is
the case, big time generally" should not
be. The open air services viii no doubt be
new to us all, bat they should be
carried on in the same manner as those
held in the house ofworship, The Second

suit against the Pittsburg and Cincinnati
Packet Line Company to recover $4,000
damages for neglecting to provide her with
6rstclass accommodations, aboard the

paid for 6rst-class passage, and was com
PEELED to sleep with the cook, in a room used

from the table where they ate. +.

LIBERAL SCHEME.

ofthe B. Il o. Railroad.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad what
ever it may be is certainly not lacking in
interest manifested its employees or BY any
means iliberal in giving from its plethoric
purse for their welfare. Forty,fve millions
and more of a surplus with twenty mil
lion yearly revenue from business is, as q
matter of course, a source of plenty from
which to draw, without much fear of a Sc
rious depression of finance. Still, as rule
1t is not always those with most who give
the freest, and it is refreshing in the midst
of all the current pros and cons on the ques-
ton of capital vs.. labor to observe that one
railroad msgnate enters the list against the
cry that corporations have no souls. Presi-
dent pro tenn Robert Garrett of the b. Il D
has ever manifested decided leaning to
ward much more than usual consideration
as to what might happen to the twenty-five
or more thousand men in the employ OF the
company. The employees relief association
is an institution of which Mr.. Garrett may
may we'll be proud, for very largely through
his patient and steady care it has grown to
remarkably successful proportions. The
only organization of the complete character
in connection with any road in the eoun
Try, the company made the future
certain By an out and out
gift to start with at hundred thousand
dollars. This has now been followed up
with another grand contribution in the
shape of the payment yearly Of the interest
on half million dollars at five per cent.
This is twenty-five thousand dollars a year
and is to be especially devoted to establish
ing system Of pension to be paid employees
incapacipated by any cause from earning a
living. Those who have been in the ser
vice ten or more years or who at sixty-fve
retire from actual duty secure the advantage
Of the new order of things as also those
whom the company may retire at sixty or
who in the contraction ofin6rmities become

An Torn Up Over Local Politics-Some In
terestinE Facts.
The dissatisfaction in this county among
Republicans at the manner in which the
present candidates were nominated, is wide
spread and now it is an absolute certainty
that there will be an Independent Republi-
can ticket placed before the voters. The
objection is not against the character OF
those nominated, as they are all first-class
men, but against the manner and means
adopted 10 compass the nominations. Prom
inent Republicans charge that the tactics of
the Court House ring were too apparent.
So let the dance begin, we propose to pay
the fiddler. The complaint made to the
authorities of the Ohio River R. RICO. by
certain party of this place, that the foreman
Of the construction sang leaves his
hand ear along the side Of
the track without locking or
fastening is untrue and in justice to Mr..
Burke we will say that he did fasten the car
with double telegraph wire twisted and
fastened in such a manner that it was al
most impossible to get it loosened unless
cutting the wire, and further it was not boys
who broke the fastening and placed the car
upon the track as the complainant says, but
full grown young mex, who took the car to
the narrows, and further your reporter firm
" believes that the officers know who the
parties were. These complaints about a
subordinate were not warranted by the
facts, and should not have been made. Mr..
George Edwards, Of Moundsville, was in the
city on Thursday. last looking after some
matters in which he is somewhat inter
ested. The Committee appointed to secure
a hall for the Cleveland and Hendricks
club, have secured the new hall of Mrs.
Scantlans, and will hold meeting on next
Wednesday evening, at which all the Dem
ocratic and conservative voters Of the, dis
trict are invited to atted. Something of a
political sensation is about to, take place in
this county and it will startle some of the
old stasers in Marshall county politics.
We have known the Republicans to be
Guilty Of some very mean things, but about
the meanest act that can be charged against
them here, was their defeat of Squire Pelley

The Peach Crop,

How is the peach cropT asked REG
ISTER reporter, Of fruit dealer yesterday.
THE Delaware crop, on which we almost
depend entirely, is exceeding good. / have
a letter from Wilmington saying:
by the middle Of next week the ship
ment Of peaches from the fruit growing dis
tricts of the Peninsula, between the Chess-
peske and Delaware Bays, will have begun
in good earnest. The outlook for the sea-
sons crop is very bright indeed. A careful
estimate made early in July placed the
yield Of the Peninsula at 5000, 900 baskets.
Since this was made, however, the trees have
dropped large quantities Of their fruit
and the yield viii not exceed 100000
baskets. While this is not considered a
very large crop, it is more than satisfactory
10 the growers and is sufficient to supply
every demand. It is considerably in excess
of last seasons yield, when the market was
kept full and the prices, as rule, were very
moderate. The ripening crop will probably
excel in quality the fruit grown during the
past three or four years. This prediction is
made BY growers upon the grounds that the
yield last season was moderate and the
trees are in vigorous condition and just
filled Sufficiently for the fruit to be we'll
formed nicely favored and ripened."
