NARROW ESCAPE FROM A DISASTER At A
HISTORIC SPOT
On, BacI of Bsllairs-Ths Railroad Iecldsnt Record
The Miscellaneous Railroad News Of
the Week.

At the Gledale station, nine miles
west of Bellaire, Saturday night, about
9 o'clock. two horses belonging to L.
d. Bowers jumped out of pasture field
and started west on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad track. When they ar
rived at the bridge south OF Glencoe
they attempted to cross, but the legs OF
both horses got down between
the cross-ties, rendering the ami
mails completely helpless. MIR.
Gray, Waterman near Glencoe,
happened to be coming across the
bridge minute later, and knowing that
two freight trains from the east were
due, he Immediately gave the alarm and
at once dispatched a fagman, winch
saved what might have been dlsas-
trous wreck. The citizens of Glencoe
at once set to work and in short time
removed the animals from their periious
condition, One was but little Injured,
while it is likely the other one VIII ole.
At this same point the old wooden
bridge was broken down some SIX years
ago and burned as result OF a wreck,
being replaced with an iron bridge.
One year ago last Saturday night 1t
met the same fate, and new iron
bridge was completed six weeks ago in
it's place. 1t was on this same bridge
that young Cronier, of GAINESVILLE, D.,
two years ago, while returning from
camp meeting at Moundsville on board
an excursion train, fell from the plat
form and was run over and killed.
What other disaster awaits the b. ~ y.
at this point we are unable to say.

Incidents Transpiring Around the Wide
reuif

Incidents Transpiring Around the Wide
Circuit.
There is nothing new in the base ball
situation. The national league was In
session three days and did considerable
business not for the public eye, but the
most important action was the drop to
twenty-five cent ball-a stroke of pol
icy that is likely to seriously affect some
of the league clubs as well as the Amer.
lean association. This action was taken
to hold the Brooklyn club in line, as the
owners Of that team were about ready
to desert the older body unless some
concessions were made. The league at.
tempted another bit of legisla ton
against the weaker clubs, but 1t did not
get through. One year ago the present
plan of dividing receipts was
adopted for the benefit Of all
concerned. aud that it has
proved benefit to small clubs was in
stanced by the fact that the manage
ment was able to pay higher salaries
and strengthen the teams. Through q
roundabout channel an effort was made
to reduce the amount paid visiting clubs
from 40 per cent to 80 per cent. Pitts
burg, Cleveland and Cincinnati stood
out against it, and, as usual, defeated
it, for it takes six clubs to carry. The
effect would simply have been to place
matters back to something like the mis-
cradle days Of ancient history, when
the small lcub city was supposed to be
thankful that it was on the same planet
with the big city. The 40 per cent.
resolution passed In 1891 for six years;
one season has gone by, and by sub
terfuge part of the league would en-
deavor to do away with it.
Dick Buckley, the New York catcher,
is the most independent player in the
business. He has been thrifty and has
an interest in a contracting business,
from which he derives big income.
just now Dick is building S., 900 home
in Chicago. He has bid good-by to
Strawberry Lane, Allegheny, where he
has resided since the family went there
from Troy about fifteen years ago.

The Best Authorities.

Such as DIR. Dio Lewis, Prof Gross,
and others, agree that catarrh is not a
local but a constitutional disease. 1t
therefore requires constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
permanently cures catarrh.

road system, Is one of the most con-
spicuous examples of what bright.
able, energetic man can make himself
in his special line of work. Beginning
humbly at the very foot Of the ladder
just twenty-one years ago, Mr.. Scull to-
day holds one of the highest and most
conspicuous positions that the railway
service can offer. He was born in Som
erset county, Pa, November eth, 1851,
and In January. 1870, entered the
service of the PittsburQ, Cincinnati
and St. Louis railway as clerk
in the general ticket office. His
promotion was from the beginning
rapid, and almost from the first day OF
his service he was recognized as man
destined to rise. Passing from one po-
sition to another, by 1882 he had become
chief assistant general passenger agent
of the Pennsylvania Company, holding
the position until 1856. On March 1.
1887, the Baltimore and Ohio got Mr..
Scull into its service, appointing him
assistant passenger agent to Chas. King
Lord, and when Mr.. Lord was named
Vice President be received his present
title. Chas. o. Scull has a host OF
friends and winning personality"

Hambleton's circular is authority for
the statement that the fiscal year Of the
Baltimore & Ohio will be changed to
end June 80, in conformity with the
generally accepted dates of the inter-
state Commerce Commission. 1t also
states that the English stockholders will
probably name 4 Director to be elected
next Monday to represent their inter-
ests. The circular then goes on to say:
1--WE do not look for any note
worthy change in prices at pres
emit. The Baltimore and Ohio stock has
advanced from SIS to its present quota
tions partly in anticipation of the
declaration Of stock dividend and
partly because OF the promising pros
poets of the company, which must
show good results from the transporta-
ton of large crops Of cereals. Much
depends upon how, when and what fg-
ures the treasury stock and the stock
given to the Pittsburg and Western
people will be offered for sale, and upon
the resumption of cash dividends. 1t
is probable that the company will pay
dividends next year at the rate of per

SIR: While there seems to be some in
terest in the Wheeling and Lake Erie
coming into the union station and rum
ming trains between here and Steuben-
Vile, there are many Of my neighbors
and fellow travellers who are alike in
terested in the Cleveland and Pittsburg
also coming in that way. That road Is
we'll equipped, enteprising, obliging
and safe and an old favorite. Twice /
have found I could save time and
money by taking the Terminal here to
Martins Ferry and then walking to the
c. & p. depot to take train to Steu-
behville. Why is it not possible
and desirable for the c. &
p. to arrange to run some
Of their trains directly in and out Of
Wheeling over the Terminel tracks and
thus save their friends and patrons an.
moving transfers and often Shivering
delays"
Such arrangements between these two
companies would not only oblige points
between Wheeling and Steubenville,
but all other points from which the c.
& P. draws it's passengers to and from
Wheeling.
The sooner the old roads show dis
position like the Terminal to serve the
public neatly and expeditious.y, the
more surely they will hold and deserve
patronage.
Please hustle them up, Mr.. Editor,
and oblige

CARDINAL a1BBoNs roR popE.
An Attack on the American s.Prince', of
the Church.

ROME, Oct. ga recent article from
the pen Of Signor Cesare in one of the
principal Liberal organs has made some
stir in ecclesiastical circles. Sicnor
Cesare, who is a Liberal writer of some
note and who has made a special study
of ecclesiastical questions, contends that
Austria, in the name of the Triple ALI
ancc, ought to dominate the future con-
clave and procure the election of a pope
amenable to the suggestions of the
Triple Alliance. But the point of
interest to Americans in the article is
the vigorous opposition to the candida
ture of Cardinal Gibbons for the sue
cession to the Papal chair.
Among other things Signor Cesare
declares that under Cardinal Gibbons
the church would cease to be "Roman."
This attack on Cardinal Gibbons is re-
garded at the vatican as the expression
of the fear of the Liberals that Cardinal
Gibbons might be elected at the next
conclave. The article will, however,
have little effect, ms the cardinal is
very popular here, especially since the
knights of Labor" incident. The ma
tional rivalries and jealousies which
might prevent the unanimous election
OF a European pope would not operate
in Cardinal Gibbons case. So his chance
OF election is considered good.

FIRE AND BANDITS.
A Madagascar Island Town Wiped Out
BY Fire--A French Physician and His
Escorts Massacred by Troop of Ma
tiyes.

A Madaga, car Island Town Wiped Out
BY Fire--A French Physician and His
Escorts Massacred by Troop of Ma
tives.
PARIS, Oct 30.-The Petit Journal to-
day publishes dispatch from Madagas-
car stating that Majunga, an important
town on the northwest coast of that
island, at the entrance of Bembatooka
bay, has been almost entirely consumed
by a contlagration. Only ten houses are
reported to be standing, and the loss is
estimated at about 100000. Majunga
had an extensive tradcin cattle products.
In addition to the above dispatch an
nouncing the destruction of Maiunga by
fire, the Petit journal publishes the
news from the same island of massacre
by natives of French soldiers forming
the escort of a medical officer. The
advices mentioned say that DIR. Beziat,
chief of the medical staff, of the French
colony at Subervieville was descending
the Betsiboka river escorted by II native
soldiers forming part of the auxiliary
French force in the district. The doctor
and his escort were en- route TO Maiunga,
the town just destroyed, when they
were suddenly attacked by band of
Madagascar banditti who opened fire
upon them from the river banks where
they had ambushed themselves SO
securely that the French DOCTORS party
was right under their rifles before the
presence of the bandits became known.
Doctor Beziat and eight of his escorts
were stabbed to death.
