A Big Assignment.

Hamilton & Jones, who for years
past have been conducting the big
pottery at Greensboro, have made
an assignment. They also kept the
largest general merchandise store in
the town and by one and all were
considered as good as wheat. They
had unlimited credit, and used it.
No one seems to have had any idea
that their affairs were in the least
mixed up, and it is said that but a
short time before they made their
grand give over which leaves so
many to bold the bag, that they Dor
rowed considerable amount OF
money in small sums. They are said to
have had the accumulated saving
of life time OF number of people,
who are now left utterly financially
ruined. The assignment, for its
peculiar reasons, or as some think,
for no reason at all, has made quite
stir in the lite hamlet, and many
people are quite wrathy over its dis.
astrous results to some of the best
citizens of the town. The Jones &
Hamilton ware was sold all over the
country, but the works don't go any
more. The defunct firm has offered
10 cents on the dollar, to be paid in
five years which was promptly re-
| jected.

RAILROAD REPORTS.
All that is New Regarding the Exten.
sion.

sion.
The structural steel which is to
form the B. & o. railroad bridge
over the river at Point Marion is still
in the shops at Pittsburg, though
but short time remains till it will
be completed. This is evident from
the fact that the timber for the
trestling, the temporary structure on
which the bridge will be built, is be-
ing delivered in readiness for receiv-
ing the bridge. Until this temper
airy trestliug is built, there will be
no portion of the bridge received.
To put up the trestle will not take
a great deal of time, but the bridge
itself will not be completed before
the first part Of January. Over six
weeks will be required to build it af-
ter the heavy steel material arrives
on the ground.
For the above and other reasons
there is not much prospect for an
early opening of the extension-none
at all, really. The ballasting of the
track will not be completed till con-
struction trains run over the bridge.
From the river up to Granville on
this end the road will be ballasted
with hecla Stag from Fairchance fur
mace. There is any quantity of
stone to do the ballasting with, but
the Stag is such superior ballast
ing article thatit will be used.
If the bridge is completed by Jan.
Is, 1t will take over a month then to
do the ballasting, so that it can
readily be seen that the day for run
ming regular trains is long way off,
So much ballasting on this side
of Cheat to do also indicates that
there will be no trains run to Point
Marion on this end of the line by
the new train schedule which is to
go into effect on the B. & o. soon
There is a prospect, however, that
i trains on the other end will come to
Cheat from Smithfield All that
part of the road has been ballasted
with the Fairchance Stag and is al
ready in good condition.
For some months to come, then the
railroad outlet from this place will
be the one and same that has beer
in the past.
