srEuBENvILLE, O.. August IS The
heavy rains during the past week did no
particular damage in Steubenville, al
though we suffered to some extent BY the
trains on the Pewiky and New Cumber-
land branch being shut off BY the blockade,
thus cutting off our communication with
neiRhboring cities and trwa However,
this damage was 90 slight that in o few
days il will be entirely forgotten The
ssddest part of the food TO people In this
CITY was the drowning of Rev. N. B. @.
Coming and Mr.. E. @. 0rth, which &C
CURED last Thursday morning in the Con
emsugh river, near Sheridan, Pc. The
two gentlemen were making trip from
Jamestown to Pittburg in canoe, when
il struck sunken foot-bridge near Sheri-
dan, was capsizsd, and they were thrown
into the swollen stream. Both gentlemen
were natives ofSteubenville and hsd msay
frienda residing here, who were greatly
shock ID over the accident.
The killing Of little Tommy Mackinain
on the Panhandle last Friday afternoon
Is another warning, which will probably
70 UNDECIDED, that il is not safe to travel
on q double track railroad. As has b6en
the case in several instances within the
past two years the little fellow had step.
ped out of the way Of one train and waf
standing on the o.her track watching II
pass VIXEN he was struck by another train
going in On oppoeite direction. No one
should make thoroushfsre Of q railroad
track unless it is absolutely necessary, and
then when stepping ont of the way OF one
train care should be taken to step to move
to the side OF the track instead Of over ID
the opposite one. This rule would coca
sion very little trouble and result in the
saving Of many lives.
Inquiries are made every day as to wher
the street railway will be completed. That
ia q question that not even the stockholders
of the line could definitely answer, but the
wires are being put up in the lower end o.
the city, and the power will be contracted
for rs soon AZ the company determines
whether to erect plant Of it's own or lesss
the power from some other institution. II
is pretty safe to predict that our people
will have an opportunity to ride On street
cars by the time snow begins 70 fly.
