A Fatal Kindness.

John Hoge, engineer at the Bellaire
Steel works, on Tuesday night, went into
IA blast tub into which an upright engine
works in forcing the blast in the con-
verters, and while there the signal was
given to start the engine. Albert Oliver,
who was standing near. and not seeing
Hoge about, thought to do him kindness,
and started the engine. The fatal mis-
take was at once seen. The engine was
stopped, and HOge's body was found
mashed to pulp, and presented horri
bly, sickening sight. Oliver was frantic
with grief when he saw what had hap
pened, and could hardly be restrained
Hoge alone had authority to start the
engine, and he had gone into the tub to
tighten some bolts. Hoge was % years
of age, and his home was at Meadville, Pa.

The Difaranca

BY drive out through Belmont coun-
ty Shrewd observer can pick out most
of the farmers who clamor for an ALI
ance, and those who are not built that
way. On the farm of one you will see
weeds taller than the corn, the potato
vines hid beneath the thrifty burdock,
the fences down. and the place generally
dilapidated. On the other, the corn rows
are plainly seen, the stocks and blades
growing under the splendid influences of
cultivation, the wheat fields waving with
the full-headed grain, the fat, sleek stock
grazing in pasture fields well fenced ir,
and general air of prosperity. This
fellow will reap rich harvest and well
filled granaries this fall, while the other
one will have reason to howl OH about
the deplorable condition of the farming
eommunity.-BelI0ire Cor. Wheeling IN

An exchange has the following in ref
erence to the reported sale of the c., L.
and w. Railroad to Cal Brice: Judge
Joel w. Tyler, General Counsel of the
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Railroad
Company, who has been negotiating with
G. NJ. Rollins and some other influential
bankers of New York connected with
BriceThOmas syndicate, for the sale OF
the controlling interest of this railroad,
has succeeded in effecting a sale. This
seems to be regarded as fact now, and
means the consolidation of the interests
of various roads in this State. and has
given rise to talk of the organization of
a term inal system in Bellaire, and the
use of the bridge now used by the b. & o.

When they had procured the necessary

them, and in feeling tones were pro-
nOunced married for life, two in one,

BAD FOR THE FOURTH.
Fosters Weather Predictions for the Mex
Month

/
| Month.
There VIII be severe and dangerous
storm in the great central valleys not far
| from the I'd, but will not cover a yery
large extent of the country. Its path
will be along or not far from the 4Oth
parallel. 1t will be the most severe storm
OF the month, and will spend its greatest
energy west of Ohio.
A wave of cooler and more pleasant
weather will move eastward, crossing the
western mountains about the 2d. the
great central valleys about the 4th, and
the Eastern States about the 9th.
One-third of the country east of Ohio
will probably have bad weather for the
Fourth. The storms will not be exten-
sive there, but severe in some localities.
The second storm wave of July will
reach the Pacific coast about the 5th.
cross the western mountains by the close
of the 9th, the great central valleys from
9TH to 9th, and the Eastern States about
the 10th. 1t will be of about average
and even force during its five days
journey across the continent.
A wave of cooler, clearing and more
pleasant weather will cross the western
mountains, going east, about the 8th, the
great central valleys abut the 10th, and
the Eastern States about the 18th.

Mora Railroad Talk

Concerning the talk of the new railroad
up Captina, GAINESVILLE dispatch says:
1t has just developed that the Columbus,
Shawnee and Hooking railway stock
holders have gained control of the Bell
aire, GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati, which is
a narrow gauge about to be converted
into standard gauge. The latter COM
pany is also securing the right of way
along Captina Creek to Senecaville, where
the Eastern Ohio railway will be used to
Cumberland in Noble county, where the
B., L. and c. line will again be used. This
shortens the distance ~ miles from Bell
aire TO GAINESVILLE. 1t also avoids several
steep grades, and will make the new line
a dangerous rival for the b. and o. and
Pan Handle railways.

A Hard Storm.

The storm in this vicinity on Monday
afternoon was quite severe, although no
great damage was done. On its ap-
proach the storm presented an omi-
nous appearance cloud was of a
light copper color, and many of the more
timid persons in this place who expert
enced the fury of both the tornado and
hail storm, were considerably frightened.
The wind blew hurricane, and windows
on the north side of buildings were
scarcely any protection, the rain beating
through the cracks and crevicees in a
delage. Some hail fell, but not enough
to do damage.

TnE celebration at this place proposed
for the Fourth, having been given up by
reason of lack of encouragement, citizens
will doubtless divide themselves among

get the PrOhibitiOnists. Many of the X.

Only half hearted effort was made at
decoration. \ bad picture of Cleveland
was the only face the orators had to
point to.
No reference was made to American
tin.
The GAINESVILLE Band furnished good
music, and was the best feature of the
occasion.
Barnesville is very poor town for a
Democratic convention. Fully two
thirds of the spectators were Republi-
cans. There was therefore no gallery
enthusiasm.
Republican opinion in Warren is, that
the ticket, with the single exception of
the candidate for Auditor, is as weak as
possible.
Oratory was not ain it," There was no
vigor, vim. fire, or point to the speeches.
A youth from Barnesville, with very
conceited air. thought he was revealing a
mOmentous discovery when he told the
convention that Warren Republicans did
not vote for the nomination of T. P.
Harris. His pointless witticism about a
"forlorn Annie Rooney" got the greatest
applause of the day.
1t was well that Ross Alexander was
full of excellent spirits. He had to fur
niSh the enthusiasm for the entire crowd
Sound at the bark, sound at the heart,
and with no grounding holes at the root" +"
Good, but the man of whom it was said
went into some sort of hole.
Watch the GGzette's beauteous and
artistic headlines.
Hear then the conclusion of the whole
matter. 1t is weak ticket, except Joe
Henderson. 1t was made weak that he
might be strong. But Republicans know
all about that and will see to it.
