A NARROW ESCAPE.

4 Wheel OF n Tender Breaks on tho o.
Il. Isailrond-uy Good , Luck the Cars
Keep tho Track-The Train Only Three
Hours Late.
There was a narrow escape from a
grave casualty IN the Ohio River Rail.
road yesterday about two and onc-hali
miles this side Of St. Mary's. AS the
passenger train due here in the after
noon was dashing along a high fill at
that point, just after having crossed a
bridge, M Of the wheels OF the tender
broke in a peculiar manner. About
o%ne-iourth OF the wheel snapped of in
a very peculiar way. The engineer
realized from the motion that some
thing vas wrong, and at once put on the
air brakes. The train came to a stand,
and after ascertaining what was the
matter, Capt. Thomas Hines; the con
ductor, sent a man ahead on foot about
six miles, to a point where a down
train was to meet him, and another
man back 10 st. Mary's to telegraph to
Parkersburg. =,
After a further examination, it was
concluded to fix the wheel so that It
would not turn, and run back to St.
Mary's with it sliding on the rail. This
was done, and when the train from Par
kersburg arrived the engine was substi-
tuted for the other, and the train came
on, arriving here only three hours late.
But for the fact that the train kept the
track there would doubtless have bpen
a serious accident 10 record, as the point
at which the mishap occurred was q very
dangerous one for n derailment,

Leasea Of Peculiar Wording to be Tested in

Leases Of Peculiar Wording to be Tested in
Court.
A suit has been brought in the
Common Pleas Court by Mi. ]. Fl.
Denham, who resides south OF

we'll known oil and gas operator, the de-
termination Of which will involve the
construction OF some of the curiously
worded oil leases which have been
made In this section, and in that view
may be Of general public interest, SAYS
the St. ClaiEsyille Chronicle. On the
last day Of May, 1889, defendant leased
farm Of plaintiff for oil and gas purposes
for a period Of five years, and stipulated
to start a well on the farm as soon as a
well then drilling, No. !, on the Sutton.
farm adjoining, was completed, and
agreed to commence said we'll on said
tract for oil or gas in seventy days from
May 81, and to complete said well with
in three months from time oper-
alton was begun. Plaintiff AYERS
via oalu GuttOA well was CUlupltltU,
and that defendant did not start or
commence to put down a we'll within
70 days on his premises. Plaintiff on
May 81, for the sum Of $3.50, extended
the time in which the defendant should
have the right to put down said we'll un-
til September q, and on that day agreed
to further extend time tor Eve years, in
consideration Of which defendant stipu-
lated to pay $40 per day in advance fora
period from September q, until opera
tions 10 put down said we'll were com.
menced, and defendant then paid plain
lif $40 thereon, but has paid no other
sum, and the defendant has neglected
and refused to put down said we'll, and
has not at any time started to put down
same, and that there is due plain.
Tiff on said lease $1,000.
The answer to plaintiffs petition has
not been filed, but it is understood that
It will be claimed that operations were
begun on plaintiffs farm by grading and

Above Portland Station the work has
been retarded considerably by high
water. Much OF the line to Steubenyille

OF these trestles can not be done when
the water is at more than an ordinary
stage. The entire river division from
Steubenville to Bellaire will ba above
high water mark, and ior the most part
will be built on solid ground.
The company has had some little diff
ficulty in securing right Of way on this

depcies Of the farmers to rate their land
too much above the market value.

A Pittsburgh Young Lady Said to be Lost
In Wheeling. Ag..
The following interesting story Is from
the Pittsburgh Commercial. Ga:sth OF
yesterday:
"a South Side girl has disappeared
under peculiar circumstances, and her
friends are anxiously awaiting some It'd.
ings Of her. The young lady's name Is
Julia Penmau, and she left here on last
Saturday with the expressed intention
Of joining her lover, Arthur Gray, at
Wheeling. Since that time she has not
been heard OF. Gray Is a pittsburgher,
and his father lives near Beck's Run, In
the Twenty. fourth ward. He Is about Is
years OF age and has been paying atten.
ton to Miss pcnman for more than a
year past. The girl lived with her fami.
ly near the Twenty.eighth ward police
station.
"Alr. Gray, ST., Is a boat builder and
he opposed his sons marriage to Niles
Penman. A couple OF weeks ago young
Gray took out a license to marry the
girl, representing that he was OF a lega!
age. The Girl Is about 20 years old. lie
informed his flther OF his action and the
elder Mr.. Gray compelled his son to de.
stroy the lie ME papers under u threat
OF prosecuting him for perjury. A few
days later the young mau left the city
and went to Wheeling. lie wrote fol
his sweetheart to join him there, and
sent her money to defray the necessary
expenses. She prepared TO do so and
informed her parents that she was going
to Wheeling To be married to Gray,
They entered no objections, aud on Sat.
urday they went 10 the depot with her
and saw her on board OF a train bound Ia
Wheeling.
ION Monday a telegram from Gray
was received by Miss Penman's parents
asking for information concerning theil
daughter. She had no. yet reached
Wheeling and Gray wanted to know /
she had left Pittsburgh. An answer wa,
sent saying that che had left'on Satur
day. The following day another ,ele
gram came from Gray, in which h,
stated that Miss Penman had not yet ar
rived. This had the effect Of maxim,
the parents OF the girl very uneasy, an,
they instituted an inquiry, but as ye
have received no Information concern

that she made some mistake in Gray

NAIL MANUFACTURERS MEETING.

The Card Rate Fixed mt 81 with Usual
Terms.
The Western Cut Nail Association
met In this city yesterday, and there
was a very full attendance. The meet.
ing was called at the instance OF the
Jefferson mill officials, Of s%teubenyille.
The nail market has been very badly de.
moralixed. With a nominal base price
OF s. %, manufacturers have quoted At
s., and nails have been sold as low rs
81 10. To remedy this loose condition
OF things, concert OF action was necessary
hence the meeting.
There was a very general expression
OF feeling that this will be a good year
for the nail trade. Everything indicates
an active season. After very full In.
formal discussion OF the situation, Il
was decided 10 advance the base price 10
81 In less than car load lots, with a die.
count Of ten cents for car load lots, The
meeting adjourned till May /.
On Tuesday there went into effect a
new. official classification on nails, es.
tablished by the Railway Traffic Asso.
citation, that Is very dista.efpl to the nail
manufacturers and which they predict
will cause much vexation not only to
themselves, but also 10 jobbers through.
out the country. By the new classitica.
ton the manufacturers, and every.dealel
throughout the country as we'll, are com,
PEELED to ship nails at actual weight, in.
stead OF at III estimated weight OF lU
pounds TO the keg, as heretofore. There
Is no apparent good reason why THU
change should be made. Flour is atill al
lowed to 80 at an estimated weight OF 2Ol
lbs. to the barrel, while 1t is a well know,
TACT that the barrel weighs from ff,eer
10 eighteen pounds. A nail key weigh
about six pounds, and is about the onl,
wooden package in which goods are ship
ped that Is worthless after the nails ar,
used, and this, combined with the fac
that the weight Of it is 30 small in pro
portion to the weight OF it's contents
leaves little or no reason for the nev
classification. The manufacturers 50,
that their experience has been that OF
all material OF this character, which /
shipped at actual weight, there are in
Vulnerable overcharges with the accom-
panying claims for rebates, half OF wlicl
are never paid. The local manufacturer
have done all in their power to hav
the new classification rescinded, but t
