NEWS OF The CITY.
MARTINS FERRY RAILWAY.
Right Of Way Being solicited-The PropOE-
ed Summer Stop In the Mills.

RAkhN VI way DcAhB hc AOPoe-
ed Summer Stop In the Mills.
James T. Riley, representing the Wheel
ing Railway Company, is still at work Sc
curipgthe right of way for that company
over a route in Martins Ferry. Two
routes are now proposed, one up Fourth
street ard another up Second street. The
Fourth street route is preferable to the
other, ..but it may be abandoned on
account OF the unfriendly feeling displayed
by very few persons who own property
on that street. Mr.. Riley has had con-
tracts prepared, and will ask citizens on
the streets named to withdraw any OBJ
jections to the line, and will ask their CO.
operation in the matter Of getting favor
able ordinance through Council. Mr..
Riley says he feels very much encouraged
with the prospect and thinks the line is an
assured institution. The Wheeling Rail-
way Company people feel that there is q
bright future in store for Martins Ferry,
and that bridge or bridges connect
ing it with this city will be pay
ing investment in a few years at
most. One OF their arguments is in this
line: A site for manufacturing plant,
and the plant ilselfin the corporate limits
OF Martins Ferry can be purchased and
built for the same amount that a site can
be bought in this city, and a bridge and
stree railway line TO connect the two
cities together will add TO the wealth and
availability of both cities as a manufsc-
turing centre. With the bridge and street
railway line, as proposed, the two cities in
business sense, practically become one,
and they will be so closely connected, and
access to any point in either will be so
easy that all the preiudices against any
locality in either will be removed entirely
Further, Martins Ferry is bound to be the
best railway shipping point to the West,
even after the Union bridge is built, and
it therefore becomes important that Wheel
ing shall place herself in quick and easy
communication with city which claims
so many advantages. Mr.. Riley will so
licit parties in Martins Ferry to take
stock in the new enterprise, and thus more
firmly connect the relations of the two
cities, and allow Martins Ferry capital
an opportunity to have a voice in the man
agement of the company's affairs. Several
gentlemen in Martins Ferry have already
expressed their intention of subscribing
stock.

writ of hnbeas corpus for the release of

Judge BrannOn could not take action in

The correspondent of the REGISTER did
an injustice to T. G.. Dawson and NJ. j.
Casey, who brought the supposed Dick
DOwell from Grand Forks, Oak, when he
stated the prisoner, James Shelton, bears
no resemblance to Richard Dowell. A
great many of Dowel's intimate acquaint-
ances stated that he has many striking fea-
tures of the real DOwell. His build, form
and actions are those of DOWell.
While some claim Dowelps eyes are black
and some blue, the head is very much like
Dowelps. A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus will be applied for at once. Dawson
and Casey's action is univels lily endorsed
in bringing the man here under all the cir
cumstAnces.
