When the waters Of Moss run began
to raise round the premises OF Mr.. vii
liam Thomas last Thursday, says the
Bellaire Independent, he started to turn
out Of the pen some hogs that were in
danger OF being drowned. His collie
dog went with him. The hogs were re.
leased, and Mr.. Thomas went back to
the relief OF his family, then surrounded
by the raging waters. The hogs were
caught in the rushing waters, carried
down into the creek and over to the
farm of Mr.. W. j. McClain. The dog
could have easily staid on the land with
Mr.. Thomas, but he went with the
swine, gathered them together on the
other side OF the creek, and remained
with them till they were hunted upnext

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany kept its immense force Of men
working on the repairs on the Hemp
field division yesterday, and made rapid
progress, giving rise to the hope that
they will be able to fulfil their eXpecta-
tons and run trains over temporary
track between this city and Pittsburgh
some time this week. The bridge washed
away lust beyond the S bridge was re-
placed with a trestle, and the trestle to
take the place OF the bridge over the
creek this side OF Triadelphia partly
built. Another bad place remains to be
bridged ut Triadelphia, second just by
the wrecked Thornburg bridge, on the
pike, n third at Niaxley's and fourth
Just this side OF Heimberger's. 1t is
possible the men working from the other
end and those going east will meet to-
day and trains be able to pass through
by tomorrow. II this is accomplished,
it will be the most marvellous railroad
building ever seen in this country.

A swlndlcr's Sad Experience.

SchDththc HtTdu'
One of the shell men will not forget
soon his experience Of last Sunday. He
had had u good day and succeeded in
hooking several suckers. Finally an
other shell man came along, bet twenty
dollars on the trick, won and then the
trick man showed the Doodle down his
clothes and ran. He was followed by
bowling mob OF nearly a hundred, and
when he struck the creek bottom at the
Culvert under the railway track, every
step he took he was hit with a stone.
After tearing down n brush fence, tear
ing through blackberry patch, he was
headed off in n heap Of tall weeds, and
for while it looked as il the mob would
lynch him. They stood around him ten
deep, reachingover each other to hit him
with their fists or canes. He was bleed
ing all over from head to foot when
rescued and all his money was gone.
Who got it no one knows; but il every
man who claimed 10 have lost Sl5 had,
the man had at least $1,000 in his
clothes.

A SUSPICIOUS CASE.
a Male Infant Pound Buried on the
Hill Side.


Three or four days since a young
woman named Nixon, living in the
Eighth ward, gave birth to n male i'm
FAINT. The neighbors knew the event
had taken place, but as the child could
neither be seen or heard their suspic-
ions were aroused and the police were
informed. The iniormants were led
to believe that the child had been buried
on the hillside back Of the glass house,
and a careful search last night proved
this to be the case. Officers Hanshu-
macher and Gaus were detailed TO work
up the case. They first tried to learn
from the girls father what had be-
come OF the child, but failing, proceeded
to search the hillside. The spot was
found about midnight and the body eX-
humed and taken TO Corner SchultZe's
Office. No arrests were made, the mat
ter being allowed to rest till this
morning, when the remains will
be examined to ascertain the
cause OF death. The mother, after the
finding OF the body, said that the child
had been still born, and THAT certificate
OF death had been secured from n regu'
lar physician, and the burial on the. hill
side was but temporary.

By strange misapprehension, the i'm
preston has gone abroad that the State
Fair grounds suffered by the recent
flood to such IN extent that no fair will
be given this year. This flood, people
ut distance seem to need to be in
formed, was not in the river at all, and
did no damage to speak Of within mile
OF the State Fair Associations premises.
The grounds were never in better Condi-
ton, and the fair will not only be given,
but will be the best fair the Association
ever did give. 1t is to be hoped that no
person interested in distacting attention
from the Wheeling fair has circulated
such report for selfish purposes.
