PIILIprI, W. Va, Jan. 25.-The citi-

very peculiar circumstances. Last win.
ter Mr.. Nutter lost an arm through an
accident in planning mill, which even
tually caused his death. He lett his
family in Strengthened circumstances
and being Il good citizen a large purse
was raised Tor the stricken family.
Some time ago the widow was notified
that she must vacate the house she was
living in on account OF rent due and un-
paid. AT this iuncturc J. B. Knapp, a
prominent citizen, slipped in and offer.

Gently moved from. This disinterested
offer the widow soon saw through She
spurncd the man, and out OF revenge he
had her disposscsscd to-day under very
distressing circumstances. Every con-
stable in town refused to serve the
writ, and an innocent country officer
was called on. The widow and her
children being without home sympa-
thctic citizens provided them with lodg-
ing Tor the night, and tomorrow will
take steps to see that she is properly
cared for.

On tho Construction of two Connecting
Ohio Railroads.
The rails are down on the. Ohio Val
ley railroad Tor Il distance of:aabout ten
miles, and material is hauled by rail
that lar. The distance to Powhatan is
sixteen miles, but the other six miles
are about graded and ready for tho ties
and rails, so that there is no doubt
trains vii! be running on this branch
this spring. The high river recently
washed out some OF the new made fills,
and there is likely to be more trouble
OF tins kind, but piles are being driven
in the worst places to protect the road
bed. The Toledo, Walhondihg'& Ohio
River road, which is TO connect with
this branch at Powhatan, is also being
built quite rapidly, and Cambridge
paper says trains will be running on it
into Powhatan this spring, but this is
doubtful, as part OF the country it
trayerses is very rough. The Toledo &
Wylhonding line is the one the Barnes
