Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1891-02-22

ing a good supply of REGISTERS for the
people up that way, who had been without
mail fer several days. At Short Creek the
"speedern struck the big landslide, and the
machine and contents had TO be loaded on a
sled and hauled over the break in the
track by horses, then rearranged on the
rails, and started anew The Thursday and
Friday morning papers for Charleston and
the Kanawha Valley were sent by the way
of Columbus, o., by a special messenger,
and papers for points down along the river
as far as RavenswoOd, had TO go down by
boat. In the city, papers had TO be deliy-
cred in skiffs, on some routes, or left at va
rious localities and subscribers notified,
and taking it all through, it required no
little tact and labor 10 put the paper in the
hands of patrons.
The WORK of cleaning up in the flooded
district languished somewhat Yesterday
morning, because of the rain and the
alarming rumors in circulation, but during
the afternoon the labor went forward rap
idly, and last night many families were
back in their houses, prepared TO spend to-
day at bone, although under many diff
culties and discomforts. Some of the peo-
pie in the lower part of the city and in the
lowest sections of the Island did not get
the water fairly out of the houses before
Yesterday noon, and at o'clock in the
afternoon there was still over a foot of
water on South Front street and good
deal in other low places. This will be
gone by this morning, however. At sew
eral points on the Island, as well as in the
lower end of town, the receding water left
outhouses and large aecumulations Of drift
and filth in the streets, anG the street clean
ing department will have big Job moving
the stuff out of the way. Perhaps to burn
it where it lies, would be as good way as
any
The Ohio River railroad started an in
spection car out yesterday under charge Of
Superintendent Williams, and trains will
not be run until this examination has been
completed and necessary repairs made.
