CLARKSBURG'S DEVASTATION

Full Report of the Towns LOSER, Repre-
sentipg Many Thousands.
Special Correspondence Of uhe Register.
CLARKsBURa, W. VA, July 13-The
eastern portion of Clarksburg Is isolated
from the western. The Dublin, Monte
cello, Main street, Pike street, Elk, Red
and River bridges are all gone. The only
mesgre way of ipgress and egree is by
skiffs and small boats, and the charge to
cross any of the streams one way is ten
cents The County Court has had spec
ial term, and already let contract for the
erection of several bridges. In the mean
while foot-logs and temporary bridges will
be constructed at the most needed points.
Ruhl, Koblegard 4 Co. are delivering
goods across the Elk near the old county
road. The water has receded within its
usual limits, ard the spectacle presented,
where the torrent heretofore ragged, is a
sad and gloomy one. On every side
DESTRUCTION AND DEVASTATION
indicate the damages and injuries to be far
above the estimates heretofore made and
reported. The main portions Of the city
thoroughfares at their terminals are in q
deplorab'e condition, and it will be some
time before they can be repaired.
The Clarksburg, Weston and Chenille
railroad is almost entirely destroyed from
Lost Creek to this place, distance Of ten
miles, by washouts, and the loss of bridges,
and will not perhaps be in operation for
six weeks. The Louudes and Chorpenipg
mill is so racked that likely DO grinding
will be done during the summer. The
Hoff tannery is q mere wreck. Great
quantities of wheat, osts and hay are rem
dered worthless by being sanded, saying
nothing of amounts wholly lost. Up TO
this time on this side of the Elk it is ascer-
tanned that
rwENTY-cNE HOUSES HAVE FLoATED
AWAY,
and three times as many more damaged.
All the bridges in the county have been
lost, save the railroad bridge, which is in
bad condition. As THERE'S no communication
with the country, the injuries occssioned
by the food cannot be ascertained; bat one
thing is certain, the damages and loss in. the
country are exceedingly great, as appears
from the meagre reports. Bridgeport, in
the Language of one of her own citizens,
was about washed away. Duncan, Nc
CLAIM, Davisson and many others lose
heavily.
At Milford, Post & Smith
LOSE THEIR FIGURING MILL,
one of the best in the county.
The fair grounds are in bad situation,
and the committee has visited them for the
purpose of preparing them for the coming
fall exhibition. The worst feature Of the
matter is, the county is now under heavy
tax for the erection of Court House, and
the city in the building of water works,
and to this now must necessarily be added
a levy sufficiently large to build the bridges
and make the other needed internal re-
repairs.
THERE ARE Many PEOPLE HOMELESS,
without clothes, household furniture and
bread. The citizens have held q public
meeting, and funds were raised, which by
: committee will be distributed among the
sufferers.
Among the losses your reporter from this
side of the river has ascertained the fol-

Washington special: Dispatches
sent from Washington during the past
week have tola OF the work of the pool

the republican ticket. In every lustapce
the statements were made by democratic
writers and advocates OF the present sd-

1t was reporte4 at the pool rooms, which
are now all located inside the city limits
that odds were offered against the re-
publican ticket. but I have failed to
find posted on any of the boards any
.ning of the kind. The odds for Oleve-
land haye all been in the minds of en-
tbusiastic democrats. A very few bets
have been made on even terms, but
there is more money laid on the suecess
OF Harrison ana Morton than on Olevs-
land. Representative Woodburn, OF
Nevada, offers to bet $1,000 on each
state that California, Nevada end Ore

be remembered that the statue represents

gether in front of him in an attitude of
prayer. while his small face represents

New Arte.,an wei, at Parts

The artesian well Of Place Hebert, at
Paris, has just been finished, after twenty
two years work on it. 1t was necessary
to bore to depth Of 1880 feet to reach
water, and such depth was attained only
with the greatest difficulty. The work
had to be stopped several times, either on
account of the hardness of the strata ira
versed or of the crushing of the metallic
tubing caused by the pressure of the
earth, The new well is the third of the
public wells of Paris, the others being
those of Grenelle and Passy Its diameter
is 81 feet and the weight of the tubing
about $50. 900 pounds. The temperature
of the water that it furnishes is 341 degs
The cost of this important undertaking

AR of a smoking Car.

"Here is curious thing" said doctor,
as he walked through an Erie railroad
train the other day. ''This smoking car
seats fifty persons, and yet there is sell
dom chance for seat after the train
starts out of New York. The men in this
car have gone into the country at consid-
cradle expense and disadvantage for the
sake of their healths. The only time they
spend at home is at night, and most of It
in their bedrooms in heated houses where
the air is very little different from that
in city bedroom. They spend from two
to four hours of the only leisure they
have in this car, where the air is SO
vitiated with tobacco that though I am an
old smoker it makes me as sick in fifteen
minutes as did my first cigar. 1t is safe
| to say that the health of these men would
have been better guarded had they stayed

reception Of the senses.


The senses are subject to illusions in
proportion to the remoteness of the infor-
nation that they give from the immedi-
ate necessities of the organism. Touch,
the most immediate and least inferential
of the senses, is least subject to illusions;
while sight Is so very much SO that the
blind often say they have an advantage
over the seeingin being free from visual
Illusions. The illusions of bodily motion
are much nearer to those Of touch than
to those of sight, and yet they can under
certain conditions be induced through
visual Impressions.
OF this the writer has recently had two
interesting examples. He was standing
upon the floor of railroad depot, the
boards of which We're laid with consid-
erable open space between them; and the
shadow Of an electric light was moving up
and down, by the swinging of the light
| In the wind Locking at the floor, 1t
seemed as though the shadow were sta
tionary, and the floor boards moving.
| From this it followed that the person on
it was moving too, and the writer dis
| tinctly felt the swinging sensation; In
| fact, his attention was called to the phe-
nomenon by this feeling of motion. The
| other observation was as follows: While
| riding in the cars and looking out of the
window, the trees and all are seen to
move in the opposite direction. If, now,
one looks in mirror SO situated that ii
reflects the passing landscape, which,
however, must not be visible except in
the mirror, one has the Illusion of moving
in the opposite to the real direction Of
motion. owing to the reversal of the
image in the glass. In both these cases
an immediate bodily sensation is induced
by more or less unconscious inference
through visual sensations. American
