The Bellaire Nail Works is closed
down this week, says the Bellaire hide
pendent, which was brought about by the
large stock OF nails that are stored away
awaiting shipment. The company have
n large number OF orders on hand, but
by the first OF the week all OF them will
be gone and the mill started up in full
operation. During the stoppage the
nailers have taken advantage OF the
time and have placed their machines in
first-class order. Out Of the l2O ma
chimes that have been running only
twelve OF them will be hand.feeders;
the rest will be self-feeders. By this ar
rangement n large number OF hands will
be thrown out Of employment. The

The game between Columbus and

The Sandusky team is reported to

Judging from all reports Bates must be
pretty bad.

Monday on pretensc OF having sick

He has been fined $500 and suspended,

NATURAL GAS FOR FACTORIES.
Martins Ferry Citizens Adopt Heroic Meas
ures for II.

ures for 1t.
The meeting held in City Hall, Mar
tins Ferry, Thursday night, to consider
the natural gas question, was fairly repre-
sentative of the manufacturers, private
consumers and others. The object OF
the meeting was to gain the consent Of
private consumers Of gas to discontinue
the use Of the fuel so that it might be
used by the manufacturers until they
are furnished sufficient gus to run their
establishments, at the same rates paid
by Pittsburgh firms. The result Of the
meeting was the drawing up OF the fol-
lowing paper:
MARTINS FERRY, May 1, 1888.
We, the undersigned, agree to notify
the natural gas company at once that
we will discontinue the use Unnatural gas
after the expiration OF the lease until
the manufacturers are furnished sulii-
cient gus ut the same rates furnished to
Pittsburgh manufacturers.
Several copies OF the above were cir
culated yesterday, and were quickly
signed. The action OF the private con-
sumers who thus signify their willing,
ness to give up the cheap and conye-
nient fuel 80 that 1t may be used by
manufacturers, cannot be too highly
commended. As long rs the several
glass companies OF the city can be fur
nished with sufficient gas TO run their
works there is no danger OF their re-
moyal TO other cities, The Elson Glass
company have had great inducements
from Findlay and Fostoria, where they
are given free natural gas as long as II
lasts, but have refused to accept bonus
of 81, 5OOand free gas, and willstayin Mar
tins Ferry as long as gas can be obtain
ed at reasonable rates. II all private
consumers discontinue the use OF ga
the plea OF the Wheeling Natural Ga
Company that there is an insutlicienc!
OF gus, will be useless. All those VIII
have not signed the petition will b.
given an opportunity to do so at once.

Estimating Speed of Trains.

Inquiry is frequently made as to how the
speed Of a train may be estimated. The
traveller especially is curious about the speed
his train is making, and we suggest three
methods by which the speed may be guessed
with remarkable accuracy, as follows:
l. Watch for the passage of the train by
the large white mile posts with black figures
upon them, and divide 5000 by the time in
seconds between pos.s. The result il the
speed In miles per hour.
q Listen attentively until the ear distin-
guishes the click, click, click Of the wheel as
it passes rail joint The number of clicks
upon one aide of the car IN twenty seconds is
the speed of miles per hour, wnen the raais
are thirty feet in length, and this is the case
generally.
8 Count the number Of telegraph poles
passed in two minutes, If there are four or
Eve wires to pole, and In two minutes and
twenty seconds, IL there are only one or two
lines per pole. The number of poles passed is
the nu1aber of miles per hour at which the
train = esvsaiAg.-RAilway Rsvisu.

the eARLY REAPeo.

Flowers reaped early. while the dew
Is on them. day being new,
Know neither dust nor stain,
Or woes refrain,
Or thirst:
Light kisses them the first.
And they are fair
Because untouched by earth's sam anywhere
Lives reaped while life Is new are pure
Unsullied, bright mature
In fairness and replete
In al that makes remembrance sweet:
Redesmed
Before sins scar Its way hath scanned,
Or anguish scored It's deep drawn mark
Or dealt It's thrust amidst the dark,
And they are fair
Because untouched by earth's stain anywhere.
