The Local Gang of Craoksmsn Must be
Working tho Circuit Again.
Judging from the reports of burglaries
which have been coming in from the rural
districts during the past few days, the To-
cal gang OF cracksmen, whose luck in
keeping out Of the penitentiary is one OF
the remarkable things OF this year OF
foods, are out travelling the circuit again,
raising the wind to get their fall overcoats
ont of pawn, or intend to PIT some money
on the winning horse at the coming State
Fair races.
J.P. Little & Sons general store at
Dallss, Marshall county, was broken open
Monday night of last week, and about SIS
worth of iewelry and cutlery and $50 in
cash taken. There was a much larger
amount of money in the store, but the
thieves failed 10 find il.
Thursday night of last week the store OF
Lester Blayney, in Washington county,
Pa, about five miles east OF Dallas, was
entered, and $50 worth of goods taken.
A night or two later the store OF Samuel
Ewing, at Viola, Marshall county, on Big
Wheeling creek, was tried by the same
gang, but they were frightened away be-
fore they succeeded in effecting an en-

OVER THE BANK.
A Had Accident on the Ohio River Road,
Yesterday Afternoon.

A Had Accident on the Ohio River Road,
Yesterday Afternoon.
A rather serious accident which came
near costing three young men their lives,
occurred on the Ohio River railroad at the
lower end of the Narrows, yesterday after
noon about three O'Clock. A gravel train
laden with repair hands was coming across
the trestle at the point above named, when
for some cause ak OF the cars upon which
the men were riding, left the track and
plunged over the embankment, distance
of about twenty feet. Fortunately the most
of the men escaped uninjured, but Chas.
Stillwell, Chas. Mcconnell and Quincy
Moo.e sustained bad wounds. They were
rescued from the wreck and were taken to
Moundsyille and made as comfortable as
possible at the Kemple House. DR.. K. w.
Hall dressed the wounds of the injured
men. He found that Stilwell aud Nc
Council were only slightly hurt, but the
Injuries of Moore were Of more serious
nature. His skull was fractured, n hole
being knocked in it about the size Of half
dollar, II was also feared that he had re-
ceived internal injuries. Mcconnell and
Stilwell live at Moundsville, and the
home of Moore is near Littleton, in Wet
Eel county. At last account the young
man was resting easy, but the doctor
thought the chances were against him. He
is about % years of age.
The west passenger train, due in
this city at hslf-past three O'Clock, was
DELAYED at the scene OF the accident for o
long time, and fiually came up over the
B. & o. track to the city, as did the
late train last night The Bellaire
Tribune had three men killed in the acct
dent, and several others wounded, but
fortunately it was not near that bad.

Remarkably Fast Travelling

When General Manager Clements of the
B. & o. heard of the flood damages at this
end of the road, Tuesday evening, he was
in Philadelphia. He picked up the first
engine at hand and made the run from
Philadelphia to Grafton, q distance of $3.50
miles, in hours and 30 minutes, an aver
age of about 46 miles an hour. This was
remarkable time in view Of the fact that
he stopped a number of places, was delayed
at Locus. Point, where he was ferried across
the bay, and Of course the train was only
able to run q. q certain speed coming up
the mountains. Many'ot the miles, how
ever, were made in much faster time, some
in less than minute One run, over the
Second division, from Martinsburg to
Keyser, distance of 101 miles, was made
in ll2 minutes, which record is hard to
beat. Capt. Clements is always bound to
he on hand in case of emergency, if he
has to wear out the railroad track and the
wind TO get there. The engineer who
made the run is John Trout, who knows
how 10 do il.

A bridge Question,

The destruction OF the Main street stone
bridge over the creek has brought up a
question that is being argued and discussed
all over the city. The question is, 'How
many arches were there in the bridge?"
Men who have lived in Wheeling all their
lives and who have passed over the bridge
hundreds OF times are certain in their own
minds that there were only two arches in
the bridge, and some have gone
so far as to put up money
that they are correct. Many others
think there were three arches, but are not
certain enough to bet on il. Then sgain
there are those who are confident that
there were three arches, and some of them
have bet money on it. Now the REGISTER
might pattern after Frank Stockton's
ending to his story, THE Lady or the
Tiger" and close by saying Two arches or
Three, which? but in this case the public
wants to know, and if any one wants to
have his mind set at rest on the subj ect
or increase his shekels by betting on it,
he had best put up his money on the
three arch side Of the question, as there
were undoubtedly two piers in that
bridge, and it naturally follows that there
were three arches. Take pencil, draw
three arches and see if it doesn't look
natural,

breaches . Good Sermon Mt the Camp
Grounds.
The interest at the Moundsville camp
grounds continues unsbated, although the
Rev. Sam Jones and Prof. Excel have
taken their departure. Rev. Sam Small
is still present, preaching with his utmost
zeal and calling many sinners to-repent'
ance. Last night he preached splendid
sermon to large congregation, taking for
his text 1. Cor: "Why stand we in jeop-
ardy every hourr"
Rev. Small invited all to come down in
front near him. He said: lam afraid my
voice won't reach you all If You stay back
there, and want You all to hear me to-
night. Now all that are saved by the
Lord Jesus Christ will please stand up,
and let US have q good meeting tonight
What we want is faith. II your faith was
equal to your zsal, there wouldn't be an
uusaved soul 20 away from mere tonight.
You are all marked; you can tell the
drunkard because he carries the marks OF
a drunkard. / ask you tonight II
you are unsayed. Why stand you
in jeopardy every hour. Why will you
multiply your sins when you know that
the sins you have committed would damn
q hundred worlds, aud if You would die to-
night you would surely wake mp in hell
If you die in your sias just 80 sure You are
condemned and will go to hell and be
damned. God has made every provision
ha conld to keep you out Of hell, and II
you 90 there it is your own fault and you
can't blame God, for he loves you, but
hates your sins. Is there no mother, no
father, or brother, or sister in heaven that
you want to ace; ara You going to say they
are in heaven but am going psll nell to
hell?
The sermon was devoid of any slang
phrases, but was an earnest effort Oh the
part of the Rev. Small to do his Christian
duty. The congregation also kept better
order than they did the night before.
They did not get up and run away as soon
as the preacher stopped bis discourse. The
meeting will close next Tuesday. To.
morrow is expected TO be the big day Of
the season.

To Change Their line.

The Natural Gas Company OF West Vir-
ginis expect to have their line in shape in
about ten days. They will make two i'm
portant changes in the line in order to
avoid any more nishaps like the recent
ones. At Thornburg's crossing, just this
side of the s bridge, the line will be taken
from the creek and run up over the bridge
to the other side. At Elm Grove also the
line will be run over the stone bridge in
stead Of through the creek. These changes
will necessarily consume more time than
il the line had been merely repaired along
its old course, but it will be an improve
ment that may save the company much
trouble and expense in the future.

Capt Clements said chat the road will
be open by Sunday at noon, and all trains
will be running on Monday to bring people

shows what can be done when the necessity
requires it. Capt Clements will remain on
the grounds until he sees everything run

over the tact that the road will he open 90
soon. Il is no asttery to remark that
the genial Captain certainly knows bow to

Early yesterday morning news was re-
eeived in the city that the county had
sustained another serious loss, in the total
destruction of the big iron bridge up on
Middle Wheeling creek, on the line of the
West Union and Roney's Point road, and
located about heven miles east Of the
mouth of the creek, on the pike. The
bridge was high one, the roadway being
thirty feet above the bed OF the creek. bot
the water cut in under one Of the abut-
ments,, and the structure went down with
q crash.
The Board Of Commissioners went out
to the scene of this loss yesterday, making
the trip in carriages. and it is altogether
likely they will relocate both this bridge
and the bridge on the pike, near Trisdel-
phia, at the mouth Of the creek, wrecked
in the July food.
