When the Ohio River railroad was
first put in operation it required but
a few cars to do the business. En-
gines ran up and down with three or
four cars. Now they go laden to
their full capacity and about 1000
to 1900 cars behind their business.
This furnishes evidence of what
railroad tapping the interior wealth
of this State may become.
Some of our readers will doubtless
remember that little over year
ago the residence Of DR.. Gorrell on
Indian Greek Tyler county, was
blown to pieces with dynamite, in
stantly killing Mr.. Campbell, who
was spending the night there. A
few days ago Milton Underwood
was arrested and lodged in Jail by
the Sheriff of Tyler county, on sus-
picon of being the guilty party.
The crime was one of the most fiend-
ish and unwonted on record. If
found guilty he ought to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law.
Col. Whitman, of Washington, is
building an elegant stone mansion
on Bolivar Heights, Harper's Ferry.
The material used is black marble,
which has been found on the Strider
land, near Harper's Ferry. 1t will
be u feet long by Al feet in width,
and will contain twenty rooms. A
tower forty feet high surmounted by
a wind mill, to pump water from the
artesian well, will lend picturesque
ness to the building. Porticoes,
arches, etc., will add charms to the
place and make it one of the most
desirable homes in that locality.
There was romantic wedding
the other day on top of the Allegany
mountain. The bride was one of the
rosy mountain girls, Miss Honard
The groom was a splendid specimen
of manhood. The mountain selected
is directly upon the border between
the Virginias. The bride and groom
rode up and dismounted. They were
met there by Rev Mr.. Suerren, a
methodist minister from White Sui
phur Springs. The wedding couple
stood upon the Virginia side, while
the clergyman stood over the line in
West Virginia as he could not per-
form the ceremony in Virginia.
An attempt was made to assassin
ate Squire John Summerfield, OF
Randolph county, a few nights ago.
He wasaawakened about o'clock in
the morning by the report of a
gun and the cracking of glass in his
bedroom window. An investigation
revealed the fact that Winchester
bullet had been fred through the
window and buried itself in the bed
stead near Mr.. Summerfeld's head.
Had he remained in the position
taken when he retired the bullet
would have entered Mr.. Summer
fields head. This is one of the most
cowardly and dastardly attempts at
assassination that has come to our
notice for longtime.
The Rev. Daniel Tichenell, of Pres
ton County, was arrested last Sun.
day by Deputy U. S. Marshal Poe,
on a capias from the u. S. Court for
some alleged infringement of the pen
sion law. The marshal brought Mr..
Titchenell to Grafton where he gave
bond for his appearance at court.
Rev. Titchenell is about seventy five
years of age and brother of the
Rev. Moses Titchenell, well remem-
bered all through this country.
When the Marshal arrived at the
venerable preachers home on Sun
day he was then at church near by
conducting services. 1t is not be-
lieved that the old gentleman if
guilty of a violation of the pension
laws, did so willfully.
A short time since a man by the
name of Fortney, living at Burning
Springs, lost valuable gold watch
and a gold ring in a manner that
was considered rather mysterious at
the time, but which has since been
cleared up. When the loss was dis
covered no one about the house was
suspected and the house could not
have been entered by thieves very
well without leaving some trace OF
their presence. A short time, about
a week, after the disappearance Of
the articles young woman named
Annie Robinson, who had been liv.
ing with the family of Mr.. Fortney,
but who had always been regarded
as an upright, honest girl, suddenly
left. saying she was going to visit
friends in Parkersburg. Still she
was not suspected of anything wrong,
But when a day or two after she
left, a man named Charles Smith, a
resident of Burning Springs, and
who has family there, also hastily
left, saying to some friends that
he was "going to see Annie" the
suspicious of the people began to be
aroused and an investigation was
inaugurated. The man and woman
were found and the watch identified
Miss Robinson broke down and
acknowledged the stealing. They
were discharged from custody upon
condition that they leave the place
A gentleman of Moundsville paid
the Penitentiary visit and reports
it to the Sun, of that place as fol-
lows: We paid the State Prison at
this place visit, recently. On en-
tering, we found Capt. johnson in
