A horrible melee occurred at Simpson,
Taylor county, last Saturday. Some
time ago Superintendent Mccartney, OF
the Simpson mines, discharged Harvey
Davis, and the latter came to Grafton
and went to railroading. Last Saturday
Davis went TO Simpson and became in
volved in on alteration with Mozart
ney. which ended in a fight. The Su-
perintendent was getting the better OF
Davis when brother of the latter
picked up stone weighing over pound
and struck Mccartney a terrible blow
in the face with it, crushing his nose
into a manglcd mass, breaking in the
whole side Of his face and destroying
one eve, tearing the orb from the socket,
and it has never been found. The I'M
fortunate affair created the greatest ex-
element, as it was believed Mccartney
would not recover. His face is hor-
rible sight, and his injuries are OF such
nature that he can not lie down, but
has TO be propped up in sitting
posture.
The big cut at Crows, on this road,
Is completed, and the grading is COM
pleted from Ravenswood to SaDdyville,
a distance OF near seven miles, except
ing the deep cut at Clusters, on which
there is about two weeks work yet. An
engine has been on the line for some
weeks and the steel is laid for some five
miles out from Ravenswood, and this
part of the line is now being ballasted
with stone. The grading is well under
way beyond Sandyville to within three
miles of Leroy, on the Roane county
line, 16 miles out, Besides the scores of
teams, teamsters and other native en-
ployes, there are about 200 Italians
employed on the line. and it is thought
that the work will move on into Roanc
county next week.-JdcksOn BuJlc.
President f. j. Kimball, OF the Nor
fold & Western railroad, In a recent in
terview, said that the Shendandoah Val
ley railroad is TO be put in tirst-class
condition. 'Old trestles will be re-
moved" said he, land new ones putin
their stead. Then iron viaducts will be
substituted for the high ones. 1t is the
intention of the company to make the
road first-class in every respect" We
understand that one of the first trestlcs
to receive attention will be that which
connects the bridge over the Potomac
river at Shcpherdstown with the Mary
land shore. The woodwork there is to
be removed and iron substituted, thus
completing the iron work from hill to
hill.
