A meeting in the interest OF the con-
tempIated railroad known rs the Pitts.
burgh. Canonsburg State Line railroad
was held at Canonsburg last week. The
principal object was to hear report
from Surveyor Mccullough as TO practi.
cal routes. He stated that nature had
done much toward making the road as
surveyed, which would be of very
easy grade, with only two short tunnels.
Mr.. Mccullough also stated that the
line of the road would pass through
Bethany, Brooke county, and that the
Bethanyites were doing everything in
their power to boost the road. Also that
the distance from Canonsburg via Beth
any to Wellsburg, which was thought to
be the shortest route, was just thirty
miles, A resolution was adopted to tho
effect that a survey be made ut once
from Canonsburg to Pittsburgh with a
view to ascertain the most desirable
route and the distance.

HELD FOE THE GRAND JURY,
A Serious Cutting Array Investigated Last
Night.

- DotSth ShhAHB NAiEAS AhNS"Nksto" AssASt
Night.
On the first Of December there was a
serious ARRAY on the corner of Twenty
seventh and Main streets, opposite
Bridget Noonan's saloon, MS n result of
which Toby Driller and Charles johnson
have since been laid up. Last evening
these two, being able to appear, and
John DeYinney were arraigned before
Squire W. II. Davis. The evidence was
that Driller had cut Devinney badly
some time ago over in Ohio, and served
term in the st. Clairsville Jail. On
Saturday night, December l, the two
again met in Mrs. Noonan's place, and
Driller, with his right hand in his
pocket. held out his left hand and
wanted to shake hands with Devinney.
The latter refused, unless Driller gave
him his right hand, which he refused TO
do. Later the two, with johnson aud
several others, met on the other side OF
Main street, and somebody showed
johnson into the gutter. Accounts diff
fer as TO how this was done. johnson
swore that Driller came by and slashed
him on the right arm with razor.
Johnson's arm is nearly severed, the cut
being very dangerous.
Alter hearing all the versions OF the
affair, Squire Davis held Driller in $500
bail for disappearance at the next tenn
OF the Circuit Court, and fined johnson
and Devinney $40 and costs each. Drill
ler's injuries were due to beating or
kicking.

The Rt. Rev. John Watterson, DID,,
Bishop OF Columbus, arrived in Bellaire
on Saturday and left yesterday over the
B. & o. for Somerset, O., where there
will be religious procession at the
Dominican Convent to-day.
At Bellaire he preached in the st.
Johns church on Sunday morning, the
church being crowded to its utmost. AT
4 p. IN. he administered the sacrament OF
confirmation to a class OF forty-six males
and forty-three females. Before admin
istering the sacrament he explained the
nature OF the sacraments and their order
as they are named by the church, and the
cause for such order. He then told what
confirmation was. He gave a lucid,
beautiful and most practical explanation
OF this sacrament. 1t was within the
comprehension OF the youthful aspirants
aud instructive to all present. He was
listened to with undivided attention.
The church was filed this service, and
also again in the evening when he lee
tured to those present. Yesterday he
visited the Beilaire schools and glad
dened the hearts of the little ones.
There were present as guests OF Rev.
Father Fitzgerald yesterday, Fathers
Lane, OF Woodsfeld, Montag, Of Bates
vile, Legion, OF Toronto, and Mat
tingly, of Martins Ferry. Most Of these
we're present on Sunday afternoon and
evening. On leaving yesterday, Bishop
Watterson carried with him the desire
that he would soon visit them again.

tons for a new church and school.

New Cremntory Shed.

The Council Committee on Health as
usual failed to meet last night. City
Health Officer Reed desired to lay before
the committee plans for a new structure
to protect the city crematory, which is
practically without protection at its as
SHINE location on the hill. Mr.. Wells,
the architect, has prepared a plan for a
wooden building, using the present iron
girders OF the roof which has been blown
away. 1t is estimated the new building
can be put up for $500 or $3.50, and the
committee has about 500 TO its credit.
1t is certain that wooden shed will not
blow away any sooner than the old iron
shell did, and there certainly ought to
be some cover for the furnace.

about the only available vacant building

OF the postotlice is the old court house

fectly suited for the purpose, is reasona-
bly, well so, and there can doubtless be
an arrangement effected with the city
authorities for the Government TO occupy
it while the repairs are in progress.
