It will be remembered that, about four
months ago, a railroad accident occurred
near Farmingtpn, in which George Arm
strong, an employe of the road, sustained
| serious injuries, but, by his heroic conduct,
undoubtedly did much to prevent serious
loss of life. Mr.. Armstrong, after the acct
| dent, was brought to this city and placed IN
the Wheeling Hospital. where he has been
ever since. Yesterday the engineers Of the
| Fourth division Of the Baltimore and Ohio,
through q committee which visited this city,
repaired to the hospital and presented MIR.
Armstrong with an elegant gold-headed
cane. The stick, which was bought OF
j. W. Grub, is a beautiful one, and the IN
expected gift is much appreciated BY ita
recipient.
