During the past week there has APP

other papers it was claimed there was

advisable, for the benefit Of the gener-

Az EAST BOUND B. { .. TRAIN
RAIDED At CLARKS
BURG.


ASSIST IN HEGAINlNG CONTROL
or rHE TRAIN.
Officer Weddell who returned from
Wheeling yesterday, having in his GUS
tody Colonel Isaiah Porter, parti,ipa-
ted in very exciting experience with
tramps and desperados near Clarks-
burg. A gang Of toughs, headed by
desperate named Iaughlin, attempted
to take the BALTIC. and Ohio passenger
train out Of the hands Of the crew at a
small station named Clark, on Monon-
gah River Road last night. On account
Of slight wreck at Benton's, on the
main line, trains were using the Monon-
gah Road from Fairmont to Clarks-
burg. The train took sideing about
10 miles ont Of Clarksburg TO allow a
west bound passenger train To pass.
While waiting the conductor discover
ed several tramps on the platform Of
the baggage car next to the tender.
They were ordered Of, but did not
leave the platform without using some
very abusive language. Soon after
ward.a numbered other tramps gather
ed about and made threats towards
the trainmen. Before the west bound
train had passed and as the east
bound passenger was pulling out
from the siding the tramps got on the
train. When the train was well under
way they began insulting the passen-
gers and making themselves generally
obnoxious. When the trainmen re-
monstrated they attacked them, and a
general fight ensued. One powerfully
large tramp backed himself up in the
corner Of the car and deiied anyone to
come near him, while others gath
nroa cn the platfprm cursed and
swore, declaring that they would ride
to Clarksburg or there would be
trouble. The passengers Of which
there were about 20 on the train were
thrown into CONSERVATION. The con-
ductor seeing that he and his men
were about to be overpowered by the
toughs, said. lis there anyone III the
car who has revolver he win let me
have.'
Officer Weddeil had his prisoner
handcuffed TO the seat and did not
dare to leave him but he volunteered
to let the conductor have his revolver
and as he handed 1t to him said, ..killI
the rufiians.n A number Of the other
passengers came to this rescue Of the
conductor about the same time and tho
result was that they were crowded
from the car.
After the crowd was elected the con
ductor fred several shots at them as
they disappeared. Mr.. Weddell even
parted with his billy and gave it to
the brakeman todefend himself against
the tramps. The train was stopped
and the trainmen with the assistance
Of some Of the passengers succeeded in
arresting the leader of the gang. He
is now in jail at Clarksburg.

A Strange Story of a Dream.

1t was sometime in the spring of 1866,
says the Atlanta Journal, that Jethro
jackson went to Resaca to look for the
grave of ais son, who was killed in battle.
Like many others, he wished to find the re-
mains, and to take them to Griffin and inter
them liz the family buryipg ground. The
comrades who laid young jackson to rest
gave the father description of the spot
where they had buried him, telling him
about the rude pine coffin made from the
boards taken from the bridge After many
days of tireless search, Mr.. Jackson failed
to locate his sons grave, and returned to
bis homo in Griein. 4 few nights after
his return he dreamed that his son came to
him and pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like vision. He
saw his son standing beside his bed and
heard him say: 'Father, am buried undar
a mound which was thrown up by the
Yankees after was killed. You will know
the mound when you see it by the poke.
berry bushes growing upon it. Go and
take me up and carry NE home to mother" :"
So strong an impression did this dream
make upon MIR. Jackson that he returned
at once 20 Resaca, taking with him one of
the comrades who had buried his son. The
mound was found just as described in the
dream, and the pokeberries were growing
upon it. An excavation was made, and a
few feet below the earth the rough pine
coffin was found, and in it we're the re-
mains Of young Jackson. He was fully
identified, not only by the coffin and the
shoes, which were present from the
father, but by the name which was on the
clothing.

REMARKABLE WORDS FROM DISTINGUISH.
ED CLERGYMEN.-Cardina Gibbons con-
tributes an article to the North American
Review for April on "Wealth and its Obli-
Cations" in which the following language
is used:
"The economic conditions in the United
States are fast approaching those of Eng
land. The homes of the poor are more
marked by destitution and squalor; the
light OF heaven is being closed out from
miserable tenement room and attic: flesh
ana blood are becoming more cheap, and
bread more dear; the well-being of the car
horse is more solicitously watched than
that OF the driver. Small wonder that
strong men, maddened by the tears of wife
and cries OF etarving children, band them
selves together, and sometimes resort 70
deeds cf violence"
TIE Rev. Washington GLADDEN., preach
ing in st. Georges Church pulpit on Good
Friday, said
''In aHoisnt times thieying barons with
their hands full Of blood and plunder we're
sometimes sainted because they gave gen
erously to monasteries. The modern brig
and, who has the trunk line for highway
and State Legislatures for tools, is consid-
cred by many generous and pious if he
gives Ills money TO churches and colleges.
Our Legislatures reek with bribery and our
cities are sometimes under the control of
criminals. Nearly every State Legislature,
nearly every City Hall, is an Augesn stable
which cannot be cleaDsed without Harcu-
lean labors."
If the things mentiore ed in these two ex-
pressions from distinguished teachers in
the churches are true. the whole of chris.
tendon should set to work with every
agency Of the church and of society to
eounteract and check such dangerous ten
denotes,
We trust that Cardinal Gibbons and DIR.
GLADDEN. will not rest content with merely
mentioning the terrible evidences of moral
decay and of unhealthy economic condi-
tions, but will double and intensity their
warfare against them.-Noriolk Land

We sincerely trust that the Governor will
take the subject up vigorously in bis mes-

while this plan or something similar, were
it adopted by each individual county and
well carried out, woulo be certainly vast
change for the better over the old "over-
seer" system, yet the result attained could
not possibly be that which could be gotten
through a 'fpool,'' as it we're, of the road
and bridge interests OF all the one hundred
counties in the State with a well organized
State Bureau of Engineers in charge of the
work. The counties are making CO opera
tive effort in Other matters to great ad-
vantage: why not extend it to this point?
In the matter Of certain material, and
particularly of bridges, there could be
great saving through the State Bureau,
which could bdy at wholesale, and which
like big railroad company, could always
have a supply of bridges of different classes
on hand for an emergency, so that when a
freshet came bridge could be replaced just
as quickly as energy and brains and proper
appliances could do 1t, and the public be
not left, as now in some cases, to "boat it"
or "coon it On log" until the local engi-
neers and the contractors can solve the
mechanical and financial problem of how
successfully to make a third.class bridge
s'do'' for first.class crossing place.
With fine system of well-mads, we'll
kept roads, with cur unsightly, unstable
wooden bridges replaced gradually by
strong, light, tasty iron structures, and
with the institution of an s'arbor day" to
stimulate the tastes of cur people in beauti-
flying their homes with trees, shrubs, vines,
&c., the face of the old State would indeed,
in few years, wear changed look and
prosperity and contentment reign in many
places where poverty and squalor now
exist
This is sensible talk, and we hope to see
the people lay hold of such practical ideas
to the end that the next General Assembly
will act wisely and advisedly in framing
road law.

Old Virginia-New Conditions.

improvement, development, industrial
progressively are the order of the day 10
the Old Dominion. "Old Virginia occupies
spleadid place in the historic past" It
is ''the New Virginia. that is now coming
to the front and making for the future"
The above, taken from the Washington
Post, calls forth the remark that all our
friend has stated is true, except the term
used Of "New Virginia." The Viryinian
takes the grounds that there is no New
Virginia. 1t is the same old Mother of
Ststes, with her brilliant history of the past
and bright hopes for the future, and of her
record her patriotic sons are justly proud.
The New Virginia Of which the Post speaks,
is simply old Virginia under new condi.
tiona. The whole State, from the Seaboard
to the mountains, presents a new appear
auce, it is true, and industry and enterprise
prevails on every hand, but it is still the
same old Virginia only in new clothes,
marching to that greatness which awaits
her. The recollsotlons of the past, in some
instances sad, if you please, but always
glorious, are hallowed III the memory of
her children, and there is no desire to for
get the old for what is termed the ''new."
Whether in her legislative halls or on
the field, her sons have stood the peers of
the best men of any land. The land of
yesterday is as fair as of to.day. The same
genial rays warmed her products to life
then as now, the same broad waters mur-
mur to the sea, and her sea kissed shores
afforded the game healthful air as now.
The difference is, we have new condi-
ton of affairr, in this, that the spirit of
Development is greater than ever before;
industry and euterprIse is abroad in the
land; the iron horse trayerses the noun
tain ways and along the seaboard to points
heretofore lot reached by the enterprise
of her people; her steamship facilities are
such as to bring US within easy oommuni-
cation with the outside world; factories
and forgeries are being erected in every
section Of the State, and her people are
more alive to the spirit of progress than
ever before. In these things Virginia is
new; in sll else, it is the same old Vir-
ginia.-Norfolk V1giaian.
