PARKEksBuRd, W. Va, Oct. l3.-There
Is war on the Little Kanawha river
along several lines. The aggravated
bridge question is still q source OF great
annoyance to the people Of the county.
The lack Of u bridge across the stream
at this point is costing the people on
the south side OF the river who desire to
got into the city thousands OF dollars
every month. While the county com.
missloners are endeavoring to give the
people bridge across the river at the
foot OF Julian street, handful Of
obstructionists who want tho bridge at
Market street are endeayoring by every
possible means to thwart tho will OF the
commissioners and OF the great majority
Of tho people.
The question is even being made a
political issue and Judge ]. NJ. Jackson
threatens to take the stump against the
proposition to issue the bonds OF the
county for tho completion OF tho bridge
at Indiana street. The various candi.
dates for the Legislature will have to
place themselves on record for or against
this Improvement, so that tho Little
kanawba bridge case, insignificant as II
nay seem to the State st large, may
prove an important factor in determining
the complexion Of the next Legislature
OF West Virginia; and, so far as the
upper house is concerned, the small iron
bridge connecting the little village of
Newport with the city Of Parkersburg
may play a distinguished part in the
election Of the next United States Sena-
tor from this State.

ECHOES or THE STORM.

1t Proves to be More General tilnn had
been Supposed.
The results OF the storm in this imme-
diate vicinity were very completely
covered by the very exhaustive account
in yesterdays ISTELLIGENcER. The de.
bris deposited at many Of the
street Intersections was greater than
ever known, especially at Chap
line and Twelfth. The work on
the Main street bridge was seriously re-
tarded, but the damage to the work on
the Terminal Railway Company near
the Crescent mill was not 80 serious rs
it was feared Sunday night it might be.
The Ohio River railroad did not have
train into or out Of the city till p. IN.
at that hour three trains got in, and
soon after one went south.
All along the line furniture, carpets
and household goods were put out to
dry. Big Grave creek was higher than
it was ever known.
OVER THE RIVER.
Out west OF the river the storm was
equally severe, The Bellaire &St. Clairs-
vile railroad was again badly washed.
The company had Just about completed
the work Of repairing the washouts OF
last week. The losses on that line will
be great, as several bridges are gone.
All the creeks from headwaters to the
mouth were higher than ever before
known. At Glencoe the whole town,
almost, was flooded. At Warnock's the
same state OF affairs existed. Both
branches OF the creek over-reached its
highest mark by several feet. Fences
we're washed out OF existence. Several
head Of sheep and hogs were lost.
Country roads aro impossible. One
bridge three miles west OF Bellaire, on
the B. 4 o. railroad, went out with q
crash just after a helper engine
had crossed. A train following
could not bo tagged by the crew
Of the helper, on account OF the
extreme darkness and absence oil
any way to CROSS the creek, but by
whistling and using their lights on the
east side, the train was stopped Just on
the edge OF the wsshout. The escape
was a very NARROW one. Passengers are
being transferred.
The big bridge on Buckeye run, west
Of Martins Ferry, was Undermined by
the high water. This run and Glenn {
run were the highest for years, but there
was not much damage, owing to the fact
that all OF the drift was carried away dur
ing the last flood.

Up on the Steubenville extension o.
the Wheeling 4 Lake Erie the damage
was rather severe. A sixty foot truss

tracks covered with debris and mud fol-
, distance Of three miles. Chief Engi

A telegraph TO the Brain

From the stomach is the great sympa-
thetie nerve in the epigasIrium. Let di-
gestion become seriously disordered, and
that disorder is sure to find reflection in
symptoms which react disadvantageously
upon the organ of Thought. Insomnia,
anxiety, are all manifestations of dys-
pepia. The best means of remdying and
restoring tranquility to brain and stom-
ach, and of regulating, it may be added,
bilious secretion, is to take wineglassful
of Hostteter's Stomach Bitters before
meals during the day and before retiring.
This course begun, reform in the direct
ion of complete bodily well-being has be-
gun with it. Constipation, SIGH headache
rheumatism, and malarial
are among the troubles in
which the Bitters is speedily and thor
oughly beneficial. Don't delay, but take
the sure course at once. 12-9-6t
