The Ohio River Road.

1t is said in railroad circles that the
Ohio River railroad is one OF the very
few, if perhaps not the only road that
never defaulted a single interest pay
ment, and earned and paid its dividends
and fixed charges, as well as kept up its
bettermentS and improvements from
the running of its first train, says the
ParkerSburg Sentinel. The road is 224
miles long, has been in operation seven
years, and has never killed Il passenger
The Ohio River road has a record in this
regard equaled by few other roads.

Left the Country.

The ParKersburg Sentinel says: w.
b. Caldwell, of the Vance, Hughes Shoe
Co., of Wheeling, the same firm that
Dillon travelled for, was in town to-day.
Speaking of the mysterious disappear
ance OF Dillon Mr. Caldwell was under
the impression that he had left the
country, as nothing whatever had been
heard of him since the night he left
here. Dillon's shortage amounts to
about $500 which has been made good
by his bondsmen. The firm will prob
ably make no effort to find him.

FOUR COM MITTEES
DISCUSS MATTERS PREPARATORY TO COUN-
Gil MEETING.
The Committee on Railroads Strike an Ambiguous
0rdinance-Ths Third Stone Bridge
Estimate Ordered Paid-0ther
Business.

There were four Council committees
at work yesterday, preparing fuel for
the regular meeting Of the city Council
this evening. The Committee on Rail-
roads met yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock, to consider petition from the
B. & o. company to put in an additional
railroad switch between Twentieth and
Twenty-fourth streets. The committee
went down to view the locality, taking
the ordinance submitted by the railroad
along with them. But upon careful
reading of the ordinance it was found
defective in parts, and did not satisfac-
torily explain the premises so that the
committee could intelligently view
them. Many of the necessary measure
ments and boundaries were left out, and
the committee voted to defer the whole
matter until the railroad company con-
Structed new and more comprehensive
ordinance.
COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.
The Committee Gil Claims met last
evening and considered several matters.
The claim Of John Wilkie and others for
damages occasioned by the filling of an
alley near Twenty-eighth street, was
first taken up. Action on this matter
was deferred until the next meeting OF
the committee, when they would invite
Judge R. II. Cochran to be present, as
it seemed TO be a matter connected with
the operations of the Wheeling Bridge
and Terminal Company.
John j. Hooper asked for damages to
the extent of S61.75 for the killing of
horse and the damaging of wagon, by
reason of defective alley near Pike
street. The claim was referred to
Council with the recommendation that
it go to the Board Of Public Works.
The claim of James ii. Riddle for
damage to property caused by the rails
ing Of the grade on North Main street,
was considered. 1t was voted to re-
quest Mr.. Riddle to present the extent
of his damages, and also to write the
City Engineer to meet with the commit
tee when they next should view the
premises.
The claim of Mrs. Hans at the corner
OF Forty-second and Jacob streets, was
considered. and it was voted to defer
action on this claim until au tented
bill should be presented. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Hans claims some 5000
on account of a flooded cellar caused by
a defective sever.
