The o. VS. secret meeting Tuesday
was held not in New York but in
Evansville and the following report
shows that we no longer have any
thing to expect from that company:
There was a meeting to-day of the
directors Of the Ohio Valley railway,
those present being President Kelsey,
Secretary and Treasurer Giles, Arthur
Carey, of Louisville, and Samuel
Brown, Of Pittsburgh.
The meeting was secret, and the
officials refuse to make its nature
known. Rumors are to the effect that
crisis has been reached in the road,
and that Eastern parties connected
Herewith are in state Of revolt, and
that-startling developments may be
looked for in short time. Officials
here deny the stories, but still refuse
to make known the nature of to-day's
meeting"
Now let us cease TO fool with the
o. V. any longer, but all pull togeth-
or for tho new pro POSITION. viii the

Frank Hughlett, a section hand on
the L. a ~, whose homeis at Kelly,
KY, was run over by the 8 a. m. pas
senger train Tuesday morning a. tho
9TH street crossing and had both legs
crushed below the knees. Hughlett |
had boarded the train at some station |
above and when the train began TO
slow up jumped of. He alighted on
ground and his right foot
slipped and his toe was caught by the
wheel. In being dragged along his
head and body were badly bruised
aud after being thumped along the
rack for about twenty feet his other
leg was caught just below the knee
ind the whole member crushed into a
ely. The train passed ON and Hugh
eti was not discovered until colored
,irl gave notice Of tho accident. Mr..
R. L. Cooper and others soon reached
iim and he was cared for as speedily
IS possible. He was taken to Mrs. z.
J. Mitchells boarding house, where
)rs. Blakey and Sites amputated the
limbs, the right leg at the ankle and
eft below the knee.

Mysteriously Drained.
Joe Vaughan, col, was found dead
N the railroad near Casky soon after
he noon freight passed Tuesday.
he only wound was hole in the top
4 his head, from which the brains
we're oozing. The scalp was cut for
hrce inches and the skull crushed
round the hole. The first theory
Tas that Vaughan was killed by the {
ars, but the fact that there was |
'ole in the top OF his hat correspond 4
ng to the wound on his head excited ]
uspicion and Bill Calls and Isham ,
'ackson, both colored, were arrested J
Wednesday on suspicion, as they
Tere seen leaving the vicinity just ;
efore the body was found. They ,
'ere tried before Judge Brown yes
erday and released Tor want OF evi- ,
|ence, but the Grand Jury is investi-
,ating the affair furtl er.
Vaughan lived in Hubbardsville
nd had been in Alabama at work.
Ie returned at 10 o'clock and the
heck punched to Hopkinsville was
till in his hat. He got off at Casky
nd after remaining about tho station
tarted towards town. When found !
10 had $l7 in his pocket and half .
aten pear was lying by him. This is
gainst the theory that he was muir
|ered over q game OF cards. The af-
air seems to be deeply involved in s
nystery. 4
Vaughan was about thirty-five ]
ears old and has family. s
