weeks since, has had almost constant trou-
BILE since with his sore hand. 1t would
not heal up, and every few days severe
h~emorrhages would take place. Yesterday,
however, DR.. Hobensack, the attending
surgeon, found and removed the cause OF
the difficulty. A piece of ragged tin about
an inch by a half inch in size had been
blown clear up among the bones in the
back part of the hand, and so imbedded IN
the flesh as to make it about impossible to
find. The little sufferer will no doubt
improve rapidly from this on. His broth
er, who was in the accident, is about well

There has been considerable talk among
some of our representative business men
concerning the incorporation of a street
railway company, and the building OF

the scheme is q very plausible one, and
the proposed route, would beyond a doubt,
pay a street car line. The c. l.. & w, K.
K. coming to Martin Ferry, and running
all trains to this place to start and stop,
will greatly increrease the possibility OF
getting to Bridgeport, or Wheeling, at any
time. 1t is also stated that the st. Glars
Vile train, will, when the road reaches
Martins Ferry, spend the time it is not
engaged in running from here to st.
