Our Bank.

Now that capitalists have be
come interested in the move, il
behooves the people and mer.
chants of st. Martinville, to take
steps, to give encouragement and
assistance necessary for the org
anization of bank in this town.
In the past, the merchants, the
planters and those interested in
manufacturing enterprises, have
had to pay as high as 25 per
cent, in order to get money loaned
to them by those who represent
and claim to be the agents of out
side banks, but really charging
the amount over the legal rate
simply as fees for procuring the
money.
st. Martinville is in need of a
bank, and must have one. Two
hundred thousand dollars a year
goes through the Post Office, and
as much is exchanged by mer-
chants for drafts on the commits
sion houses of New Orleans.
Messrs. Levert, Monnot and
Nilsson were in town Monday for
the purpose of discussing the adj
vantages Of a bank in st. Martin
vile. These gentlemen, 1 under
stand have expressed themselves
as satisfied with the outlook, but
would desire the corporation of
the merchants in the enterprise. }
1t Is evident, then, that the matter q
lies In the hands of our business I
men. Though it is to the interest d
d the majority of the people, like a
Ill enterprises, it must be to the \
ietrlment of few; it will, there d
ore, be to the interest of those o
ew, to work against the enter a
rise, and it is reasonable that !.
very one should work for his
WIN interest. But the overwhelm-
ne majority of those interested in
he establishment of a bank CT
hould not neglect the opportunity I
adding to this town, an institu- Ii
on which is of paramount inter- 81
1t to its commercial prosperity. &c

A Card from the Recorder and a Letter
from Attorney Russell.
The letter of Recorder Stein, of Full

Fultonites, as is also Mr.. RuSSelPS let
ter:
10 the Editor Of tho REGISTER:
SIR:-In reply to President Dobbins,
Of the Board Of Commissioners OF Ohio
county, that nothing had been done to
the streets in the town OF Fulton, l
think il is not correct. The Town Coun-
ell have done all necessary repairs on
the streets in the corporation, not in
GLIDING the National road, and have
paid SOS a month per annum for light.
The people coming from the county at
market night have had the most benefit
| from this and they are the worst kick
ers MICHAEL STEIN,
Recorder OF the Town of Fulton.
The following letter explains itself:
To the Council Of the TolOn of Fulton:
GENTLEMEN:-When, at the request
Of Mr.. Stein, l took up the preparation
Of resolution looking to the transfer
Of your streets from the Board Of Com
missioners TO the town, l thought it
| best 10 make an examination OF the
law bearing on the subject. This
examination has satisfied me that,
without any action OF your
Council or the Board OF: Commissioners,
the public roads within limits of Fulton
became by operation Of law, when the
town was incorporated, the streets Of
the town, which are under your control
and which you are bound by law TO keep
in repair. This does not apply to the
National road. l have submitted these
views to the Prosecuting Attorney, who
concurs In them. Under these circum.
stances 1t is unnecessary to prepare any
paper or resolution about the matter.
Yours truly,

THE OHIO RIVER ROAD.
IS IS DOING A BIG BUSINESS AND IS GEN.
ERALLY PROSPEROUS.
President George W. Thompson Chats il
an Interesting Way About the Affairs
Of the Road.

President George w. Thompson, OF
the Ohio River Railroad Company, ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon on
business, and was seen by a REGISTER
representative soon after ne got of the
train. In reply to question as to the
present status OF his road, Mr.. Thomp-
son said:-
Cuisines was never better, and is In
creasing at a most satisfactory rate,
both as to passengers and freight. The
road is in frst-class condition as to
track, and we are making betterments
all the time. When orr new passenger
cars arrive, there will be at least one
new and strictly frst-class coach at
tached to each train, furnishing as good
accom- modations as are possessed by
any road which does not run parlor
cars. The matter of parlor cars has
been suggested, but they won't pay on
our line for a while. The companies
leasing these cars charge three cents
mile. which would cost US something
like thirteen dollars day, with no re-
turn"
"What effect has the oil boom down
the river had on the roads ousiness'
at has been increased wonderfully.
Before the boom started, we had siding
accommodations for perhaps fifteen cars
at Sistersville, and the business was
comparatively small. Now we are
handling cars by the hundred, and have
to keep a yard engine there constantly
for switching purposes. An enormous
amount OF freight and big passenger
traffic comes to us from that point, and
l think it is going to improve In the 1u-
ture, There is a territory down to-
ward Friendly, and back from the rlv-
err, which l think is going TO amount TO
q good deal after awhile, and we Will
have to lay down a piece Of track to ac-
commodate that business, and have an
engine TO transfer freight about"
what has induced the change In the
time of the trains in this ciJy?
'It was done for the better accom-
mediation of people going on through TO
Pittsburg. On the former schedule
there was very close connection in
this city-only about five minutes-and
it gave no opportunity to transact
business in Wheeling. Now there is
fifty-fve minutes, and man going
through can get a meal or transact a
little business here and still catch his
train and 60 up or down, as the case
may be. Our train service is now very
good. A man can leave ParkerSburg
at 1880, get here at three, have an
hour in which to transact business, and
get back home at eight o'clock in the
evening. That is making good time,
and Wheeling is being benefited cor
respondingly."
Have you ever considered the mat
ter OF coming into the Terminal rail-
road depot after the completion of the
Benwood extension of that line"
mo, sir; that is new question. We
have Pennsylvania contracts which
rather preclude that matter-at least
at present. That is something Wheel
ing needs, however, good union de-
pot. The railroad accommodations Of
the whole city are about equal TO the
modern needs OF frst-class road, and
there must be an improvement some OF
these days"

A NARROW ESCAPE
From a Horrible Accident at Boggs' Run,
Tuesday Evening.

AuceWAy GhGnAnks
There was a very narrow escape from
another terrible street railway accident
az Boggs' run, Tuesday evening about
half-paSt eight o'clock.
An electric motor, bound south, jump
ed the track just after passing over the
B. & o. tracks, and came TO halt on
the east side OF the railroad, with one
end OF the car but about foot ifOm the
B. & o. track. There were several
passengers in the car, the shutters OF
which were over the windows, and as
the connection with the trolly was of,
there was no light in the car except a
dim one from an oil lamp. The con-
ductor took of his headlight aud placed
II in the centre OF the Is. Il o. track as
a warning, but engine No. 40 came
along running at a high rate Of speed.
The engineer saw the lamp, but at first
thought it was a bit Of buring waste,
and paid little attention 10 it until he
got up quite close. The brake was then
put on and the engine reversed, and il
came TO a stop within couple or three
feet OF the motor, making the escape
from a Smash-up very narrow one, as
the motor was too close TO the railroad
track to have allowed the engine to
pass.
