on hand at Philippi, aud As the train
moved ont, stepped aboard the engine,
and requested the engineer 10 stop at the
place where the young lady was to be
taken aboard the train.
As the unexpected Is more likely TO
happsn than otherwise, the gtrl's issher
was in Philippi that afternoon and

aboard the train as It pulled out irom the
Philippi depot. Imagine the surprise,
then, OF the would.bs son.in'law Then

stepped from tho engine in front, to Bes
the old man get of from the rear. The
young lady made rush for her lovers

He promptly laid them out, however,
and jumped sboArd the train again % 1t

The passenger coach was crowded, and
the sreatest excitement prevailed. A
regular fight ensued between the girls

ued at intervals until the train reached
Grafton. at this point Mr.. Howell seized
the arm OF his daughter and promptly
marched her to theWard House, followed
by crowd Of spectators aud her lover.
The services OF the police were Invoked,
and the girl was informed that Bhe must

MAnhlneR Arrive.

Machines Arrive.
Two Of the motor cara ordered by thl
Wheeling Railway Company arrived herC
yesterday from St. Louis. They will bt
unloadsd to-day and trial trip over 9
portion Of the road will be msde in few
dayr. The intention Is to make this trip
sometime during the present week. In
case everything is found to run smoothly
at the timeof making this trial, ths road
will at once start the motors regularly
over the upper partof the line from Tenth
street down Main 10 Twenty.heventh. The
track iscompleted from Tenth street to
BogRs Run, except over those streets on
the South Side which are paved with
brick. The company will have 70 wait Q
few weeks yet before the Board Of Public
Works will allow those streets to be torn
up. It is desired that the frost shall get
out Of the ground first 60 that in repavinR
the street o good and lasting job may be
done. The wires are also up along the part
Of the line where the track laying has
been completed.
The dynamos which arriI ed some time
since are being put In position at the
plant Of the Wheeling Electrical Com
pany as fast as possible. Everything that
has been gotten Ia Of the very latest and
plan, and no trouble or hitch Of
any kind Ia anticipated. The cars snd
motors are handsome Affairs and will
probably prove quite popular sensation
when they make their appearance.

Dear Friend and Brother:
Five days have elapsed since the great
strike was inaugurated upon the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railway, and from
end to end the system Is paralyzsd and
unable to move, The boast was made by
officials that the old veterans Of the
throttle would not respond to the call OF
the Brotherhood, and II they did they
would not hold out to exceed totty-eight
hours.
We are warranted in saying that the
officials reCkoned without their host. The
bronEsd heroes Of the throttle and the
scoop from the Oldest veteran down to the
youngest apprentice responded in one
voice to the bugle call Of the Brotherhood,
and have shown by deed and example
that they understood their rights and had
the courage to maintain them. Such ex'
amplea Of devotion to principle and duty
will inspire the hosts Of labor everywhere
With renewed energy. and In Gods good
time tho cause Of right and justice will
prevail. Shall We succeed ID the great
conflict in which We are now engaged
Shall the two great Brotherhoods oil Loco
motive Engineers stand glorifsd before

port Of dity thousand noble men, and witt
such an army to sustain our cause we can
