Rapid Progress on tho Work of Repairing
the Is. 20.
The water in the creek receded fast
yesterday and as it went down the soft
banks crumbled and some of the small
outbuildings along the bank were upset
and Others endangered. A number Of
representatives Of iron bridge companies
arrived in the city yesterday. There is
still no definite idea as to what sort Of
bridge will be built over the creek at
Main street. There are a good many
prominent citizens, members OF Council
aud thoughtful, practical men, who
favor stone bridge. 1t has been sug.
gested that now is good time to build
bridge over the proposed Baltimore &
Ohio railroad track south OF the creek.
Doubtless the Baltimore & OHIO Com
pany would be willing, and it could GER
tainly afford to stand the increased ex-
pensc this would neGessitate. Aboutone
such freshet us the two recent one costs
the company as much to rebuild its
wooden trestle, which would be unneces-
sary with its track on the South Side.
The Baltimore 4 Ohio Company had a
large force OF men at work rebuilding
this trestle yesterday and lust night, and
made rapid progress. Good progress
was also made rebabilitaing the Hemp
field division, and Captain Clemens told
an ISTELLIGENCER reporter last night he
would have trains through from Wheel
ing to Pittsburgh by Sunday noon.

A serious accident, which might, how
ever, have been much worse, occurred
yesterday afternoon about four o'clock on
the Ohio River railroad at point on the
Narrows, between Moundsville and Ben
wood, near the little gully known us
Jim's run. The road is there on high
trestle, and the piling was so weakened
by the high water that the trestling
sagged when a local freight train, to
which were attached several gravel cars,
was on it at the time named. Four fiat
cars were precipitated from the trestle
to the ground below on the east side OF
the track. The cars were badly wrecked
and two "beuts" OF the tFestle destroyed.
There were quite number OF work.
men on the car, but all escaped without
injury, excepting Charles Stillwell,
Charles Mcconnell and Ounce Moore.
The first two were not badly hurt, but
Moore h probably fatally injured. His
skull is badly fractured and he is bruised
about the body. His wounds were
dressed by DR.. II. w. Hall, OF Mounds
vile, who says that the chances are
against his recovery. Mr. Moore is a
young man and lives near Littleton.
A wreck train was sent down from
Wheeling, and the road will be cleared
up and the trestle repaired as soon as
possible. In the mean time trains come
up to thecity from Moundsville over the
B. q o. road.
The widest rumors concerning the
accident reached the city. A man who
came up on the B. & o. road declared
he saw six dead bodies that had been
taken out of the wreck. Naturally a
story circulated on such authority OBJ
tained general crcdence until the true
facts could be ascertained.

The seyenty.dfth annual session Of the
Linsly Institute begins Monday, Sept.
10th. 1t is gratifying to be able to an
nounce that the prospects for the com
ing session are tiattering. No effort has
been spared by the Trustees or Faculty
in bringing before the people this insti-
tuition better equipped for work than
ever before. The advantage OF having u
well conducted academy within the city
for tho training OF boys and young men
should be appreciated by the people OF
Wheeling. Noah Linsly founded this
institution primarily for the benefit of
Wheeling, aud in estimation of this
philanthropic act a most liberal patron
age should be given it by the city. There
is no age prescribed for admission. ANY
boy, twelve or thirteen years old, having
had the advantages of the public schools,
is fur enough advanced to pursue sue
cessfully any OF the prescribed courses
OF instruction. We trust that these
timely suggestions will be considered by
the public and many be benefited by
them. For any information regarding
the school you are referred to the Prin-
cipal, John II. Roemer.

A LAUGHABLE SITUATION.
The Contest for the Democratic Congress
Ionnl Nomination.

hSNshsNfAAAANAN
IOnnl Nomination.
Previous to the Democratic State con-
ventiou at Huntington on the 10th inst,
Counsellor John o. Pendleton, OF this
city, was not an avowed candidate for
Congressional honors in this district. II
was not that he did not want the empty
honor OF the nomination, for that, in
these progressive days, Is about all a
Democratic candidate for Congress from
this district can find in II, but he appar-
emily thought that he had better show
OF success by pursuing coy and diff
dent plan Of campaign, He was mem
toned by some as piece Of available
timber, and two or three cards Rnony-
mously signed were published in the
Register in his interest. To one OF these
Counsellor Pendleton made answer
through the columns OF the organ he
occasionally assists in editing, and made
all who know him smile by stating
among other things, that cleveland,
Thurman and reform OF the tariff are
far superior to any political interest Of
John o. Pendleton."
Since the Huntington convention,
however, he has been hustlipg early and
late TO secure votes OF delegates to the
Congressional convention, which is Ia
be held in this city next Tuesday. He
has been forced to do this by the ap'
pearanCe OF another Richmond in the
held, who is not letting grass grow un
der his feet. This new aspirant is the
Hon. Joe ]. Woods, Of this city, ex'
State Senator, eS.Speaker and eX-mem'
Der Of the House OF Delegates, and Z
candidate for reelection to the House
1t is said TO have been arranged al
Huntington that Woods should enter
the lists first rs Camden or anti-State
House candidate, and second asone who
| il nominated would stand better
show OF being elected than John o. He
lost no time after reaching home il
starting out after votes. In this he has
been handicapped to n certain extent by
the groom who has been trotting arount
with him and who is no less apersonagC
than Flom Dallah, the Mandarin OF thu
Pink Ribbon. Whether Flom was or
dered to escort Joseph about and boon
him or whether ii is a seif.fmposed duty
is not known, but the effect is bad al
the same.
Tlom had Joe down at the Wetze
county fair at New Martinsville yester
day working his boom for him. Jot
was kissing the babies and Tlom talking
his best Chinee to the mamas. They
were pronounced u strong team.
In this connection it may be vel
enough to give publication for the frs
time, to the report that Woods was a
the bottom OF Tlom's bad break in thu
matter of decorating the local Chinese
with Harrison badges. III is said tha
Woods, who likes his little joke, ant
who is well acquainted with Tlom ant
his failings, mentioned to him in hi
quiet way that it would be mighty
good streak OF political policy to worl
the Chinese here and get them to decl
themselves with badges. Tlom bit anC
worked the scheme and it was beauti
fully exposed.
Between the two local candidates
there may be some fun next week, tc

come TO the front.
