Orders were received on Sunday by
the workmen employed in repairing the
st. Clairsville branch of the B. and O., to
discontinue work on the road until
further orders. About sixty men were
at work and would have put the road in
running order within few days if they
had not been called off. 1t is possible
that the b. and o. authorities contem-
plate making some changes in the road
bed, which will render it less liable to be
washed out by every freshet. There is
one thing evident that the cost of main
tainance of that line must be reduced,
if owners hope to realize any profits from
operating it.

THE Bellaire Independent says the
farmers of Mead township are complain
ing about the way the railroads are
interfering with the county roads. They
are justifable in making complaint
where their roads are occupied by cor
porations, unless equal facilities for
travel over other routes are afforded.
County Commissioners are apt to be
entirely too liberal in granting the use of
the public highways 1t should be recol-
lected that they belong to the people.

THE sky is worth looking at these
evenings. Venus, Jupiter, and the
crescent moon, all pretty close together
near the southern and southwestern
horizon. Venus retires early, but the
other three will spend the evening, and
very entertaining and brilliant trio they
are, too. Jupiter and Mars have been
approaching each other rapidly for some
time. Mars going ahead and Jupiter
retrograding, and they are now close
enough together to render comparison
easy.
JUDGE JOHN b. briggs, of Woodsfield.
was nominated last week by the Demo-

of this judicial subdivision having an
opportunity to get out of the claws of the
Monroe Office-seeking vultures through
this channel.
