suffered severely
from the attacks Of the savages. TO
protect themselves the settlers had
built Fort Henry, which was erected
on the right bank of the Ohio, a short
distance above Wheeling Greek. The
entire fighting force Of the village, in
cluding the garrison of the fort, con-
sisted Of hut ~forty-two men. Among
that number, however,, were many
whose deeds Of powess and skill with
the rifle had made them terrors to the
Indians. In the latter part of Sep
TENDER the settlement was attacked by
four hundred warriors and the yillag-
ers were compelled to fee to the fort
for protection. Driven to desperation
by the sight Of their homes being de-
stroyed by the savages, they made an
ill-advised s~ortie, in which they were
al but overcome, and only sixteen men
lived to return to the fort and defend
It and the helpless women and chill
dren within its walls against more than
four hundred savage redskins.

fort is q record Of deeds Of daring and

men, under Captain Samuel McCul-

STOLE A MARCH.
TBs B. & O. Puts DOWN A TRACK ON THE
SOUTH SIDE.
The Work Done Bei,re Daylight Yesterday Morn
irg-Ths CITY Authorizes Moving
in the Matter

Some time ago, probably month or
more. the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company laid a switch from their prop
erty south of the city line in Marshall
county, to and across the line OF Forty
eighth street. in the neighborhood OF It's
junction with McCulloch, Forty-elghth
street, in that particular spot, lying not
only without the limits Of the city, but
as well as outside the limits OF the coun-
ty. Some time during Thursday night
the railroad company dumped big lot
of Italians, railroad bars, ties, and other
essentials off a train of cars, scattered
the materials along McCulloch street,
between Forty-eighth and Forty-iifth,
and proceeded to whack down track
parallel with their main line, and cross
ing Forty-seventh, Forty-sixth and For
ty-fifth streets, with the intervening
alleys, without first having procured
from the city the authority to use
the streets and alleys named in that
way. Some time during the night
police officer saw what was going on,
and telephoned TO headquarters.
BY direction, President Schmulbach,
OF the Board of Public Works, was called
up by telephone, and was acquainted
with what was going on, but he did not
see that anything could be done, ana
the work of laying down the track was
proceeded with, and by morning was
complete. Chief Delbrugge said yes
terday he ought to have been informed,
but was not. If he had known OF the
matter, he would have stopped the
work.
Soon after daybreak the matter was
brought to the attention OF members OF
Council, and Mr.. J.. +. Farrell, Of the
Railroad Committee, consulted with So
licitor White about the matter. No
record of any authority TO the Is.
4 o. Company TO lay down the
track could be found, and then
the Chief OF Police was called into
the conference and there was strong
talk for while of taking summary
measures on behalf OF the city. MIR.
Stephenson, the resident local agent OF
the Il. & o, was called to the Office OF
Solicitor White, and after conference,
he asked that the city delay matters for
the present. and he would confer with
the other officers OF the Company. In
that shape the matter was resting last
night, although there was talk after
supper of swearing out warrants
against officials of the Company for OBJ
structing the streets.
1t was thought by some, fer time,
that perhaps the line was laid down by
reason of some authority granted the
Railroad Company in 1883, when the
corporation talked of erecting machine
shops, round houses, etc. south OF For
ty-fi.th street, but rs the ordinance
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1890-11-22

passed by Council was never accepted
by the Company it became null and
void.
An examination OF the city ordinances
served to show that there was no pro-
vision which could be directly applied
to summary proceedings of this sort by
a Railroad Company, except, perhaps,
that some one might be hauled up Tor
obstructing the streets. That could
only be punishable by fine in the Police
Court. and would not of itself remove
the tracks complained Of. There was
provision in the old ordinance, relating
to the duties OF the Street Commissioner,
which fits the case pretty snugly, but
that ordinance, or rather the sections
applicable in matters of the sort here
noted, probably fell through with the
abolition of the elective office named.
The situation is fairly complicated
one, and there may be some interesting
developments to-day.
