posed at tho time that he had suffered
n stroke OF paralysis, but no other symp-

Engineers are at work running the
preliminary line of the Powellton &
P%ocahontas' railroad. This road is al
ready in operation between Mt. Carbon
station on the Chesapeake & Ohio and
the mlnos Of the Mt. Carbon Coal and
Coke company. II extended the road
will pass through tho finest coal and
timber country in West Virginia terri-
tory as yet untouched by the hand of
development. The estimated distance
from the Chesapeak 4 Ohio to the Nor
folk & Western by this route is sixty
miles, putting Charleston within ninety

A Norfolk & Western through freight
train ran over an unknown man near
Waverly, o., and mangled him beyond
all recognition. The train stopped for
water at Piketon, five miles soeth of
.Waverly, and it is supposed a tramp
got aboard and in ,clambering over the
train fell between the cars. The train
stopped at Waverly to pick up a car of
stock, and a brakeman discovered the
leg OF a man and some clothing wrap
ped on an axle OF AGAR. The engine
then went back and found the mutilated
remains about one mile from where
they stopped to got water.-Ceredo id
