Five Words Ruin A Town.

4 dispatch from Parkersburg, w.
Va. TO the New York Herald, says:
1t is reported there that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company
are about TO move their immense car
and engine shops, employing 1000
men. from Huntington, In this State,
TO st. Adams, a small town in Kama
wha county. Forty acres of land
have been purchased at st. Adams on
which 70 erect the plant. The cause
of the removal ii that recent litiga
ton has declared void deed for the
land upon which the present shops
stand. The suit involved $1,000
In 1870. when Huntington, now a
town of 1900 people, was farm land,
James Laidley. attorney for Z. +.
Huntington, the noted railroad man,
bought all the land upon which Hun
tington now stands. In this tract
was one piece of 240 acres belonging
TO a Mrs. Penny hacker. Some time
after a flaw was found in the ac-
acknowledgement of Mrs. Pennybacker,
the effect of which was TO give her a
title in fee to the land Laidley rep
resenting TO her that she had but a
QOWeF Interest, DOuSHl IL lOl a oLieili
amount, and claiming title 10 the en-
tire tract, bought suit TO recover it
from the purchaser, who had
in the meantime secured ii. The suit
went against Laidley in all the courts
and then Mrs. Pennybacker, finding
she had been deceived, entered suit
against Laidley TO recover her land
and upon which the town is built in
the tract used by the Chesapeake and
Ohio shops, valued at S15O,OOO. The
mistake in the collapse of Huntington,
as the railroad shops supported the
town, was a simple one. The &C.
acknowledgement read: Sarah II.
G. Pennybacker acknowledges that
she has signed, etc." while it should
have read, acknowledges it to be her
account, and she has signed, etc. >
The omission of these five words is
likely to destroy tlourishing town"

The fool killer l. needed In Grxnt
district. Wesley Martin, farmer
living on the vest side about i've
miles from town, considered himself
man of resources and ingenuity I'M
i'll Friday last, when he had very
practical proof that such an idea
was delusion and a snare. The
gas main runs across his farm dis
lance of some 40 feet and is laid ex-
posed on the ground at that place.
Wesley on the day mentioned con-
ceiyed the idea that it would
be good scheme to bury the gas
pipe, and accordingly dug trench
about foot FROM it. He then sum
moned his wife and family to come
with a rail apiece and assist him to
heave the pipe into the trench. They
demonstrated with him and pointed
out the foolishness of trying to do
such a thing, but Wesley had his
head set on burying that pipe
pipe and told the devoted mem
bers of his household to "tend to
their own dod burn business and to
grab a rail and hist on that ar pipe
like blazes.n They all then obedient-
complied, but Wesley "hustled" the
most and broke the pipe apart. The
strong pressure Of escaping gas then
came in contact with a clod, which
flew up and stuck Wesley on the
head. He afterwards said to Man
ager Grant, "if it had been stone
it would have killed me-" to which
Mr.. Grant replied, II am ever SO sor-
ry il wasn't a stone"
Wesley is paid for the pipe run
ming over his land and had no right
whatever to NEEDLE with it. His
bruise on the head is punishment
enough for SO doing
Morgantown people will by the
above see why the gas so suddenly
stopped last Friday afternoon. A
force of men soon replaced the broken
pipe and everything has gone on
smooth about the gas since and will
so continue if people keep away
from the mains with handspikes.
