Law. and the conductor and others got OH to

and carried her home, and DR.. Pipes was
called and did all that surgical skill could
do to alleviate her sufferings. 1t was found
that she had been struck BY the pilot of the
engine on the left hip and large cash cut
therein. The bone was broken and forced
into the groin, making an exceedingly dan
eerous wound, and one that will very likely
prove fatal. The doctor could not say for
certain whether she would live over night,
and as she is between IS and 10, the shock
TO her nervous system will likely cause her
death. She was also bruised some about
the face when she fell.

THE NATIONAL ROAD.
The Talk of Transferring 1t to the County
The Present Officers.

The Present Oflcers.
Tomorrow the State Board of Public
Works, composed of His Excellency the
Governor, Auditor, Attorney General,
Treasurer and Superintendent of Free
Schools Will meet at the Capitol and con
slider the claims of candidates for the posi-
lions of superintendent and toll keepers on
that portion OF the old National road lying
within the limits Of the State, and this
county.
As a matter of general interest, we give
a list Of the Offices to be filled, the present
incumbent0, their salaries, and the gross
revenues:
Superintendent-Presenti incumbent, D.
s. Thornburg; salary, S3ij per annum; ap,
plicants, the present incumbent, VIM. Hutch
inson and ]. Chambers Heryey. Mr.. Thorn
burg has held the Office for eight years. one
term being under Governor Jacob, and the
one Just closed, Thos. Sweeney, Esq, having
been Superintendent under Gov. Matthews.
Toll House No. Present toll-keeper,
Mr.. McAllister; salary, $50 per month;
gross revenue, $3.50 to $780, no compfti'
tor.
Toll House No. Present toll-keeper,
Allan Davis; salary 5000 per annum and
house rent; gross revenue, $4,5OOi hot
competition for the appointment between
Mr.. Davis and Messrs. Joseph l.. Bedel-
lion and Joseph Nichols-all excellent Dem
ocrats.
Toll House No. 3-Present tollkeeper,
Mrs. Lizzie Dennison, a widow; salary, SIS
ger month; gross revenues $500. to $500;
20 competition. Mrs. Dennison has held
The position for six years.
1t will be remembered that during the leg
islstive session bill was introduced look
ing to the transfer of the road from the
State to the county, but the project failed to
meet the approval Of any considerable Por'
ton of our people. Those living on the
line OF the road, and who, there
fore, are the most interested in
its welfare, and the best qualified
to Judge of its past management.
almost unanimously protested against the
road being turned over to the county au
thorities. The Board Of Commissioners
itself WAS by no means unit in favor OF
the matter, and it is good thing the mat
ter was allowed TO die out. Indeed, there
are grave doubts as to the State being able
to make a transfer of the road to the county,
or anybody else, the transfer from the gen.
eral government having expressly stipulated
that the State shall forever keep the road
in repair, ETC., and this being so, it is prob
able the road would revert to the United
States should the State relinquish it to any
other authority. That part Of the road
lying within Ohio county is said to be in
setter condition than any portion between
Columbus and Cumberland, and this being
the case the State had better be allowed TO
remain in undisputed possession.

THE GLASS WORKERS.
A Meeting Held Yesterday mt Which Moth
ing Definite Was Done.

n Meeting helu hesteruay NJ winch NULL
ing Definite Was Done.
1t is understood that for some time the
flint glass workers in this section have been
endeavoring to get Pittsburg glass workers
to arrange so that they would receive pay
70. their work the same as them. The diff.
ference is, that theglass workers in this sec
ton get paid by the turn-so many pieces
to constitute turn-and those in Pitts
burg are paid BY the piece, Now it is IN
derstood that the glass workers at the Elson
works, in Martins Ferry, have decided to
accept the Pittsburg prices until the LIST of
June, after which time their terms will be
made according 10 those Of Pittsburg, what
ever change may be made there.
A meeting of the American Flint Glass
Workers Union was held yesterday after
noon at Westwoods Hall in the South End,
but whether it had reference to this propo-
sition OF the Elson operatives could not be
learned. However, large number Of glass
workers were in attendance, representatives
from all the factories in this section being
there. Whatever was the object of yester-
days meeting, it was learned that nothing
definite was done, and another meeting vii
probably be held at an early day. 1t is
sincerely hoped that when the glass workers
do come to any conclusion it will be one
which will be of advantage to themselves as
well as the manufacturers thus bene6tting
the general business interests OF this section.

THE WAYS OF FINANCIERs.
Playwright Low Down on Sylvester Hamil-

ton.
1t viii be remembered that, several
months ago, the REGISTER contained an ar.
ticle relating to the brilliant financial career
of Mr.. Sylvester NJ. Hamilton, well known
as former resident of this city, which ar
ticle alleged that Mr.. Hamilton had became
greatly embarrassed pecuniarily and had
been compelled to sacrifice his entire world
" possessions to meet the demands Of his
creditors. Later information makes it ap-
pear that these assertions had no founda-
ton in fact, the stocy having originated in
the questionable methods pursued by some
ofMr. HsmiltOn's opponents in the man
segment of the Old Dominion Copper Min.
ing Company. The last number OF the
"Financier" had the following in relation to
the matter.
