Something About the Pennsylvania Com
panys Plans.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
intends to construct an extension of its
lines from Mansfield, o., to Martins
Ferry. and thence across the Wheeling
Terminal Bridge Company's new bridge
to this city. The consolidation of the
Northwestern Ohio Company, under the
name of the Toledo, Waldholding Valley
and Ohio Railroad means more than a
change of name. The change means
that the Pennsylvania company will
furnish the money to push the road
through to this city, and ultimately
through to the Atlantic seaboard. 1t
will make short cutoff for the Penn
sylvania company between Baltimore
and Washington and the West.

TO CHANGE HIS LUCK.

A Gambler Opens a Grave and Mutilates
Corpse.
HENDERSON, Ky. Oct. 2.-Charles Clay, a
white man living in the county, to-day wae
arrested on a very peculiar charge, the war
rant being issued against him at the in
stance of James Henderson,. Clay is
charged with having opened the grave of
Henderson's wife and having cut from the
right hand of the dead woman the forefn-
ser. Clay has been unlucky at cards, and
was advised by some of his friends of a
sure way to secure luck, namely, to visit a
of q female and cut off the forsinger Of
her right hand. Clay was oredulous enough
to believe in the recipe. and acted on it.
He had no motive of robbery, as was shown
by his leaving untouched q valuable ring
worn on the left hand of the corpse.
