We learned, on reaching there, that an
oil tank had sprung a leak that evening,
and before it could be stopped great
quantity of oil had run into the stream
and hoated down on its surface. The
unfortunate bear had struck thia inAam-
mable stuff when be swan the creek, and
his fur had become saturated with it.
My ireDrand had ignited it instantly,
and in jumping back into the creek, all
ablaze. the bear had set the whole oily
surface on FIRE and met his frightful fate.

"Well, our picket line waited until
the federals we're in few hundred yards,
and then retired under cover of woods.
The first cannon fire of Manassas was
made BY Yankee battery in our front
at that time. TO US itseemed the opening
gun of the war. remember the shot
shivered cedar tree near by, and this
tree WAS pulled up by the roots and made
into triukets ss memento of the first
cannon mark of Manassas"
1t seemed TO me that the fight was
pretty oven until Johnston, who had
crossed over to the Junction, came up
and Joined Beauregard. This was a
splendid piece Of strategy. The North.
ern army had no idea that Johnston
was anywhere around. But for This,
Manassas might not have been our bat.

A ROACH KILLER.

How North End Ciuzsns Got Taken Lotto

Wheeling gets oil kinda Of fakirs The

town on Thursday. He, unlike many 9th

This man was smart. He didn't repre-

Doodle on his name, bat lie only claimed
to have the best ccckrOach extermiDat0r
ever invented; that his machine would kill
the disgusting pests quick and awfully
dead. He took in the town and laid out
North Main street as his field Of opera
tions.
HIS cockroach exterminntor WIS con-
tanned in a small neat wooden box, prob
ably 3x4 inches, and he sold them at 81
apiece. II purchaser wanted to look 81
the contents Of the box, the seller would
tell him that the stuff evaporsted 30 rap
idly that il was impossible to open box
without losing good deal oil its contents.
The instructions were 10 carefully open
the box and place il in room where the
reaches we're, ia the dark.
The chap sold number Of boxes and
then WAS seen no more. One gentleman
placed his box in room, carefully opened
it and stole silently out for fear the
reaches would get onto the racket and
skip the tra.ls-loo. Yesterday morning
he expected to Bee all the reaches in the
house piled up about that wonderful box
dead or dying, and he took shovel along
TO scoop them up. Bat nary a roach WAS
there. Nothing brt thl box, and its con-
tents had evsporAted, with the exception
Of two small blocks, on which WAS the di-
rection to gently place the reaches between
the two blocks and press them together
until they are dead. The citizen could
not help laughing then he went out into
the back yard aud kicked himself. And
still they come.

A NEW DEPOT

VIII DO Erected by the "SwkS" II IA Con
oesslon is Granted.
Said prominent business man yester-
day to O REGISTER reporter:
az want 10 whisper ia your ear that
Wheeling can have Gne depot on the site
OF the "PSky" depot, if che will agree to
make a little concession, that is to let the
company have about eighteen or twenty
feet of ground west of their present liae,
and in consideration Of this the company
would ruu, say two, paved brick wagon
rOada mp the wharf similar TO the one on
tbs lover eud, which, may say, is worth
all the rest of the wharf together, and OF
far more service to the business men Of
Wheeling
This amount Of land would not iDjure
the wharf in any way and it would be
necessary to the company if they desired
to erect anything like respectable build
ing F."
"What are the prospects OF such build
ine2"
"Well, I'll tell you. The company has
a surplus in the treasury and If this extra
ground can be secured feel certain they
would erect $50, 600 or $4,000 depot,
which would be a benefit TO the city in
more ways than one. Ii the money isn't
used in this way a dividend will be de-
clared aud the money will he divided up,
much Of it going TO Pittsburg. A propo-
sition will be made, and | hope for the
good Of the city it will be favorably consid-
cred"

THE W. 81. E. ROAD.

Tho Much Talked-Of survey Down the
Ohio River.
The Steubenvi!le Gazette, in commenting
on the Adena-St. Claissville route for the
Wheeling and Lake Edo railroad, says;
i've have published several items as 10
this survey. and we hope for Sleubenville
that this rew route viii be adopted. 1t
will not only be IO1te of great vsl1e TO
the W. & l. E, for it is through coun-
try that is not blessed with railroad fac'li-
ties. bat il will be much cheaper than via
Martins Ferry. As for Steu0enville, TO
route would be Of greater value. 1t cuts
off Wheeling and Of cOur this trade would
come to St,ubsnville." WHAT is true OF
thst road taking trsde to S,eubenville Is
also true of this city.
The Bsllaire Independent SAWS in the
same connection: tine engineering corps
of the Wheeling and Lake E,ie railroad
reached the junction where the ST. Clairs-
VILE road connects with the Baltimore and
Ohio Yesterday afternoon. The route,
from Adena via 81. Clairsville TO Bellaire,
is six miles sho.ter than if the rod was to
come TO toe RIVER north Of Martins Ferry,
and then 20 this city. Ii opens up an en-
tirely new field of coal, and three miles OF
the proposed line is already in operation
to the coal mines operated by that company.
The steepest grade on the line is 66 feet to
the mile, very moderate grade, not
much more than half what Is on the b.
& 0. in some places. Bat the engineers
are row at work on another route, which
contempletes tapping the Cleveland and
Lorsin road north of Maynard. The result
Of these sutveya will be reported to tie
meeting of the Wheeling and Lake Ere
people on the - h inst. The first route
has made very favorable impression upon
the Caisf Eogineer-mOre favorable thao
he lad expected it would when he started.
What the result of the survey nov being
made will ho, Of course, cannot be told IN
til it is finished. Some ST. Olairsville par
ties are with the engineers good portion
of til time, and il seems quite pr bable
that the nav route may be adopted. 1t
would bring the road into this city in bet
ter shsps than any other that may be
adopted
