1t now appears that the story about
Mrs. Mary Burke, OF Grafton, being ar.
rested for the fcndish wrecking OF an ex-
press train near that place few days
since, as Il bit OF revenge on the railroad
company for having her husband and son
arrested for robbing freight cars, is all a
hoax. No one has been arrested as yet.
At a meeting Of the directors Of the Citi-
zen's Fuel Company, of Washington, Pa,
held yesterday, it was decided to close the
CAN'T well, the one from which oil in
stead Of gas was procured, foran indefinite
time. The rumOr that the well has been
sold for S25, 900 is incorrect. Parties are
still busy about Washington leasing farms
for oil purposes.
Hon. John B. Floyd, the Senator from
Logan. the tall sycamore-he OF the flow
ing locks, wants TO be President OF the
Senate. Among his recommendations are
the facts that he came from the Third dis.
trict-that is paramount-and that he is a
representative OF Democratic county
that never falters, much less fails. But
there will be others who will want the

Messrs. Workman and McDougal, two
popular members Of the newspaper fra
ternity in this State, have retired from,
and disposed OF the Ceredo Enterprise to
Mr.. W. A. Merrill, who proposes to keep
the paper politically what it has been, q
"Black Radical Republican" His saluta-
tory is strong and vigorous, and there is
no installing his intentions, which are to
make the Enterprise newspaper in every
sense otthe word. Mr.. Merrill is welcomed
to the field, and the best OF wishes will
follow him as well as his predecessors.

about double its size and put new life into
the enterprise. 1t will be printed in oc-
tavo form from new type, and will be in
creased in interest as we'll as size and

The Morgantown Mew Dominion says:
The anxiety OF the F. NJ. & z. Co. to COM
piete their railroad is not less manifest
and real than that OF our people to have
it. One hundred men have been lying
idle at Fairmont ever since the rise in the
river waiting to complete the piers, with
only fifteen days OF work lacking to finish
them. Just rs soon as they are done the
bridge will be set on them, and then the
active work Of laying the rails will begin,
and be pushed forward as fast rs the
weather will permit. The Company'spur-
pose is to have the cars running between
Fairmont and Uniontown, next Summer.
