II. & o. Matters.

The B. & Railroad Company issued
book last week entitled Reorganization and
Rules for Conducting the Business of the
Baltimore and Ohio r. r " The business
of the road is divided into nine depart
ments with officers for each department.
The Baltimore Sun nsys: 'The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad has made series
of highly satisfactory experiments with
coke for use On its engines instead of coal,
and ia considering the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing the substitution permanent on all
trains between Philadelphia and Wash
ington. The change has already been
made on soma roads in the United Stotes,
but the advantages of the material are not
generally known. It is claimed that coke
produces little smoke and no cinders at all,
which greatly increases the comfort OF
travelling. 1t is about as cheap as coal and
much lighter in proportion TO bulk. The
heat is interss and even, and it ia fine
steam producer. The freman's duties are
also lightened, as he does not have to keep
continually tossing coal into the furnace
A train fred by coke recently made the
run from Philadelphia to Canton in two
hours and zine minutes"

den disappearance of Charles T. LoriDg

Shot In the Eye.

Last Saturday morning Thomas Convey,
aged % years, who had been living with
James L. Chambers, on Rum creek.
Logan county, returned home, and after
depositipg his game in the house, went to
the door to look at his gun. A report was
heard, and Mrs. Chambers, who ran TO the
door, found that Covey had shOt himself,
the charge of the gun entering his right
eye and passing up through his head, car
rying away large portion of the skull
and scattering his brains over the calling.
1t appears that Mr.. Oovey intended to rest
the butt of the gun on the dOor.sill, bat
that it clipped to the doorstep, and the
force of the fall exploded the cartridge.
Mr.. Covey lived over three hours after the
shot, but never spoke.

Another of the Same Kind.

Some time during Saturday night or
Sunday morning the saloon on Market
street commonly known as the "Italic Sa-
loOn," Louis Mariana proprietor, was en-
tered from the rear, by the removal of a
panel from a door. The marauders
seemed bent on securing cash also and the
way they went through every place where
they supposed money might be, was awful
to see. Things were dumped in confusion
all about the floor, and then the thieves
left with about thirty five cents in pennies,
sixty cents in stamps and about seventy.
FIVE cents worth Of foreign coin. No
liquors of any kind were missing.

A Prosecuting Attorney In Trouble.


There is much sympathy for Prosecuting
Attorney Ricketts,, of Cabell county. For
years he was addicted to incorporate hab-
its and lost his position as lawyer. A
year or SO ago, he reformed, as was thought,
drink. His friends rallied TO his support
and to encourage him in his good endeav-
ors he was given the nomination for prose-
cutting attorney and was elected. For
some time thereafter he conducted himself
with becoming so6riety, but his old enemy
got in his work at last, and Ricketts, be-
came his slave At the last term of the
Circuit Court at Huntington his condition
was such that the court felt compelled to
appoint another lawyer 10 prosecute the
State cases.

land Hayefly Minstrels, which appear at

rendering of Japaese instrumental and
vocal music by four of the twenty. five
artist antpodeans who constitute part OF
that organization. Denkichi Tekaragawa,
performer of national reputation in Japan
on the ''sko," or Japanese banjo, says that
he marvels much ut the lack of 'real
musical culture" in country otherwise
go far advanced as America, and voices
substantially the words OF the Japanese
Wagner to Miss Isabella Bird, the famous
traveller: ''Children, coolies and women
may find pleasure in European music, but
an educated Japanese can never tolerate
it." The seats are nearly all reserved

The Marx Twain Rod and Gun Club
had big day yesterday, and they enter
tanned about sixty of their Wheeling
friends, among whom were many promin-
ent citizens. A splendid chicken dinner
was served and one of the features of the
day was the presentation 10 the club of a
fine large oil painting by Artist George
Storm. Several speeches we're made and
the club is under many obligations to Mr.
Storm, who was present.
The circus was opened during the
afternoon and it proved very
amusing to the many who witnessed it.
The menGgerie contains some rare speci-
mems of the canine species, their colors be-
ing varied and brilliant as those of the
rainbow. Then there are birds of para
disc manufactured from chickens, water
snakes, cells, &c, &c. all forming great
aggregation excelled By none and equalled
by few. The ring performance was also
equally amusinp.

]. W. Webb, Bishop Joyce preached with
unusual vigOr to one of the most attentive
audiences of the meeting, selecting for his
subject: ''He who desires to be saved must
believe on Him who can ssve;" selecting
his text from Acts xvi:30 81: "What must
do 10 be saved? Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. |"
He spoke Of the certainty OF moment in
the life of every man where he must de-
eide his own destiny. Upon the correct
ness of this decision must depend upon
whether he is to be saved or eternally lost.
Christ came upon earth to sympsthizs
with men aud has told Us what we are to
do to be saved. He gave his life to save
man, who must decide himself to accept
or reject the ransom. He showed the ter
rible power Of habit which fixes its toll on
man until he is powerless to shake 1t off
Change is human destiny, but for nine-
teen hundred years the saving power Of
Christ has been the same, aud it is as free
for all tonight as when ne hung on Cal
vary.
The intense feeling shown in the con-
gregation attested that the people are
awakened to their spiritual needs as sell
dom before seen On the grounds.
The announcements for to-day are:
Prayer aud class meeting at $50; Bishop
Joyce will preach at 1870; children's
