A CERTAIN crowd of East Side boys
have been in the habit of stealing rides in
freight cars on the Pittsburgh Division of
the b. &. O., and often risk their lives by
climbing in and out of the cars. Satur-
day last the conductor detected a number
of them in a car and locked them in. How
far out of the city they were carried Is not
known, but the ride was not at all enjoy
able and these youths will probably be a
little more cautious in the future.

A Through Line.

II. c, Parsons, President of the Ohio &
Northwestern Railroad, was in Pittsburg
last week for the purpose of forwarding
the scheme of establishing a line from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati. According to
his statement the road as projected will be
the Panhandle to Wheeling Junction,
thence by the Pittsburg, Wheeling & Ken
lucky road to Wheeling, and thence by the
OHIO River Road to Parkersburg and Point
Pleasant, in West Virginia. The road is
already built to Parkersburg, and the
part from Parkersburg to Point Pleasant
will be completed in November, From
Portsmouth to Cincinnati either the Cins
cinnati & Ohio road will be used, or a new
road constructed along the right bank of
the river,

4 CASE.
The Trouble Caused by IA Runaway
Daughter.

Daughter.
A peculiar habeas corpus case was de-
cided by Probate Judge Croskey ut Steub-
enville Friday evening. The facts in the
are about as follows: Some years ago
John Mccullough, of that city, lived with
his wife in Wheeling. She becoming too
intimate with other men, n separation re
suited, the decree of divorce giving the
custody of the child, n female, to the
father. The father went to Steubenville
with the child, but by some means she was
spirited away, and for some time has been
living with her mother in Pittsburg. The
mother kept a house of ill-repute in that
city, and the girl, who is now about four
teen Years of age, becoming somewhat like
her mother, an effort was made 10 place
her in a convent. Friday she ran away
and went to Steubenville, where she met
her father who is a plaSterer. After she
left Pittsburg, the mother had the chief OF
police telegraph to Marshal Finny TO hold
her, which he did. Mccullough employed
Solicitor Miller, who asked for a writ Of
habeas corpus in the Probate Court. DE,
tertive CoulsOn appeared for the mother,
The evidence was as given above, and the
case was decided in favor of the father.

A Narrnw Escane.

While DIR. Slocum and wife were driving
up town from South Wheeling, last even
ing, they met the 8 p. IN. West bound B.
& o. passenger train, at the crossing near
Bingell's;drug store. The surrounding trees
broke the sound of the cars, and the Doc
tor did not see the train until it was imme-
diately upon him. DIR. Sloeum, at once
realizing his iminent peril pulled up his
team with a sharp turn, the engine grazing
the horses noses as it flew past, which will
give an idea of how narrow the escape was.
In turning, the Doctor broke the axle OF
his vehicle, but no other damage resulted.
As may be imagined, Mrs. Slocum received
quite o fright. A safety gate should be
erected at this crossing as soon as possible,

SOMETHING NEW.
Nails Which Can BE Sold by the Yard and
Wound on a Reel.

Nails Which Can BE Sold by the Yard and
Wound on a Reel.
Nail manufacturers are Just now greatly
interested in an invention recently secured
by an Eastern inventor for the manufac-
ture of wire nails. A steel wire is run
through and the nails are headed, pointed
and trimmed, but they are connected to-
gether by q slight thread Of wire, which is
sufficient to hold them in line. Accord
ingly, instead of storing the nails in kegs,
rs has hitherto been the custom, they are
wound around a large coil. This does
away with the expense of the kegs.
Another feature in connection with these
new-prOceSs nails is an automatic ham
mer, avery curious continuance, much re-
sembling an old-fashiOned coffee mill. Two
or three pounds of nails are wound arOnnd
q cylinder in the machine, and then by
pressing on q lever, the nail is driven
home with surprising quickness. In fact,
q carpenter, by the use of this invention,
can drive three times "a many nails IN one
hour rs by the old style.

Cost Of Repairs Apportioned.

Saturday the State Board of Public
Works went out to Greenwood cemetery to
view the damage caused by the recent
caving in of the wall of a culvert. After
looking over the ground the Board, it is
understood, concluded that the cost of re-
pairing the road should be appOrtioned,
two-thirds to the Elm Grove Railroad
Company and one-third to the National
road. This is satisfactory to all parties,
and repairs will be commenced at once.

Snake Killing.

C. J. Kemble, a young farmer residing
west of Bellaire, killed 1000 garter snakes
a few days ago on the farm ofJohn Reece.
This sounds like the biggest snake story OF
the season, but is verified by several credi-
BILE witnesses. One old female snake about
three feet long and as thick as q mans
arm. was discovered by Kemble under a
swath while cutting rye, and placing his
foot on its body by actual count just a
thousand little ones about six inches long
run out of the old one, and were dispatched.

A Gnol Samaritan,

The late Charles II. Tieman had a $1,000
life insurance policy placed with Mr.. J. l..
Schilling, and some two months ago he an
nounced to that gentleman that he would
be compelled to drop it, as he could not
bear the expense. Mr.. Schilling said moth
ing, but kept the dues and assessments paid
up from his own pocket, not informing Mr..
Tieman of the fact until several weeks
since. BY this action Mr.. Schilling pro-
vides the widow with q neat sun that, but
for his generosity, would have been lost to
her. 1t is acts like this that tend to make
people happy.

Louis XVI. at the time Of his death.
possessed fifty-nine pairs of lace ruff
fles. The same fashion prevailed
in England. The tops of boots
were trimmed with lace; it was worn
as collars. neckties. and r%ufies; carriers
we're decorated with the costly fabric,
shoe rosettcs were made of 1t, and
ever n~ight-caps gloried in frills of point

Pepys, in his diary, tells us that on
the Lords Day, October 10, 1862. he
put on his new lace band, land" he
continued. $50 neat it is that l am re-
solved my great expense shall be lace
bands, and it will set off any thing else
the more" The thoughts Of this gem
tleman, like the thoughts Of many gen.
tlcmen of his day. were considerably
occupied by the subject of dress. In
his diary he makes several records con-
corning this matter: Lords Day, up,
and put on my new stuff suit. with n
shoulder-belt, according to the new
fashion, and the hands of my vest and
unique laced with silk lace Of the color
Of my suit: and So very handsome to
church,
While the present style of dress may
be less fantastical, and, perhaps, more
in accordance with the fitness of
things, it is certainly less attractive
and less becoming. The wheel of
fashion, that makes SO many evolu-
tons where the dress of women is con-
cerned, may some time do the same
for men, and bring back the feathers
of the cavaliers and the earrings of
the Shakespcarean period. Democrats
