RAILROAD MATTERS.
A Wheeling and Lake Erie APpOintmnet.
Opening of Mall Service.


Mr.. 0. r. Wood. OF Martins Ferry,
who has been assisting in the Wheeling
and Lake Erie extension for the past two
years, has been appointed travelling
passenger agent of the road for the
wheeling district. This is splendid
appointment, and one which will lnev-
itably bring 70 the Company a large
amount OF business, as Mr.. Wood, be-
sides being a gentleman of wide ac-
Quaintance, is full of energy and is OF
decided ability. II is a first class ap-
pOintment.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
resumed negotiations for the purchase
OF the Bellaire, GAINESVILLE and Cincin-
natl line, which parallels the Il. IL U.
from Bellaire 20 GAINESVILLE, o. l: Is an
nounced that the deal has been prac-
tically completed and the Il. IL o. will
take possession in a short time. The
B., l.. x c. has been badly embarrassed
and the sale OF the road is probably nee
essary. The acquisition will give the
b. 4 d. an important coal line feeder.
The mail service on the Wheeling and
Lake Erie has been arranged for, ana
the first mail over the road will leave at
GAS a. m. to-day. The mail will arrive
AZ G:1O D. m, This will cover all such
points as Mt. Pleasant, Portland, ana
towns generally out to BOwerston ana
beyond, which have heretofore been
dificult to reach expeditiOusly, and
will be a big thing for the people along
the line Of the road.
The editor OF the Waynesburg hide
pendent is discouraged. Regarding the
Wheeling and Connellsville railroad he
says:
1--WE regret 10 say that the information
that we nave gathered the past few days
from authentic and reliable sources leads
rs 10 say. in Justice 70 our people and the
interest of truth, that the Wheeling and
COunellsville railroad is not at all rosy,
ana about all the hope we have had IN the
early building Of the,road has been com
pletely knocked out OF u.s.
He then prints this letter.
WHEELING, W. Va, March 5, 1892.
". ". Erdns, WdynesbUg, Pa:
DEAR SIR note what has come TO me
w of obtaining desirable sites for railroad
facilities in your town. and appreciate the
kindly motives prompting the suggestion.
I think IL due 10 entire frankneSS TO say
that as al present advised, would not my
self nor would l advise my friends To IN
vest one dollar on any proposed line OF the
Wheeling and COnnellsville railroad, IN
the hope alone that il will be built. II
may never be built, and IL is by no means
certain on what line il will be built.
l think the only safe position for the
people TO take on any probable line IS that
If the road can be secured at all it is only
by doing everything that can possibly and
In reason be done by everybody along the
line Too much confidence has ruined the
prospect of many neighbOrhOod for get
Ting railroad. I should be glad indeed II
/ could honestly give you some better as
suranCes.
Nothing said or which may be printed as
said by any person other than By the Board
of Directors, can give any better assur-
ance. 1t is entirely probable that much
more depends upon yourselves for success
than upon strangers.
Yours Respectfully,
r. II. COCHRAN.

MOUNDSVILLE.

Last Saturday night Van 4. Baker,
who is serving a life sentence in the
prison here, for the murder OF his wife
and mother-in-law, attempted suicide
bv hanging himself TO his cell door with
a pocket handkerchief When he was
cut down he was quite timber and 1t
some time before life was fully
restored. Saturday mornings REGIS
TER, OF which Mr.. Baker is
constant reader contains an account OF
the death OF his brother, by accident,
and the same mail brought MIN letter
announcing the death of his mother, to
whom he was dearly devoted. The sad
news was TOO much for the doomed man,
and throwing himself on his cot he
cried in despair, "Oh, my God. Is there
ANYTHING more?n During the hours OF
the night watch, the guards heard
grooming coming from Bakers cell, and
upon investigation found him swing
from his cell door with a handkerchief
tied closely around his neck. The cell
vas not high enough for him TO swing
clear Of the floor, so he had TO hold his
feet up while attempting the deadly
work. He was quite Timber when cut
down. and had he not been discovered
in time. would no doubt have accom-
plished the act. The sad news, coming
as il did, the recent death OF his son, is
thought for the time being to have un-
balanced his mind.
Miss Dot Putnam, who played as lead
ing support to Hida Vernon, in re-
cent engagement here, will commence
a weeks engagement at the Opera
House next Monday night. Miss Put
nam is charming young actress, and
will no doubt score brilliant success
during her visit in the city.
The time set for the opening Of Ar
lipgton Academy is April 9th. They
will open temporarily in the Masonic
Hall.

SIR: Whatw the greatest stone bridge
ever built. taking span of arch, number OF
arches, height and width all into consider
alton
This is something OF a poser. The
bridge fl.iug'the requirements best was
doubtless Trajan'S bridge, built by
the Architect Apollodonis, over the
Danube. i'm a. ID. 100. IL had twenty
arches, each of $50 feet inches span.
NJ was destroyed soon after 10 was fin
ished. Another great bridge Of ancient
times. DOW in ruins, was near Terni, on
the Nera. IL had seventeen arches,
each of i3l feet 8 inches span, and total
length of 2,592 feet. It's hight was
gigantic, the piers being III feet g
inches to the spring Of the arches. 1t
was 81 feet wide.

Sw-Iu this mornings REGISTER, you
saw 10 is hoped the stone bridge Will
"stand for centuries" To settle q dispute
started by this. viii you give some exam
piles of stone bridges which have stood "for
centuries" Iron BKIpGE.
There are so many stone bridges which
have stood for centuries, and which
are still in use, that it is difficult TO
make a selection. The P0Htc ROtt0,
over the Tiber, at Rome, was built by
SciDio AfricanuS, about 100 b. c., and
was destroyed in A. ID. 1864. IL thus
stood 1.554 years. IL had arches Of so
feet span and was A. feet inches
wide. 10 was rebuilt in 1875. The
P0ntc SCl0rO stood over 1000 years,
being built by TarQuinius Priscus, 600
r. c. The POptc SiStO was rebuilt in
14-S and is still in use. The POptC Fer
r1to at Rome, over an arm OF the Ti0er,
was repaired by the Emperors NalenS
and Valeutinian in a. ID. $50, and three
arches still stand perfect. A familiar
old bridge is that Of the RialtO, in
Venice. built by Michael AngelOin 1878,
and still perfect. The bridge at Rats
bon, over the Danube, was commenced
i'm 1885. by Henry, the Superb. These
are but few examples out Of scores
which might be cited.
