especially on the hills, it did some
damage. The roof OF the Sand Hill

min Neit was blown down, and part OF
the roof Of John Myers dwelling house
was blown oil, while fences and out
buildings were tlattened out all along

First ward residents. Across the river
at Brilliant, serious damage was done
to the Wheeling x Lake Erie railroad.
The trestle work just above the Bril-
liant station was washed out by logs

at Sehad's crossing in Upper Benwood.
The rains had soaked portion OF the

Iimestones had rolled to the center OF
the track. Two OF the stones were about
the size OF flour barrels, and the crew
had considerable trouble to get them of.

INC Act OF an Honest SIan.

Until something shall be shown to
the contrary, the action OF Erastus Wi
man in joining his wife in the convey
ance to a trustee OF the real estate held
in her name will appear to his decided
credit.
An alien, he could not hold real estate
under the laws OF New York. The
property bought with his money was
therefore placed in the name Of his
wife, a citizen Of the United States
Having reached point where he
thought these holdings should be within
reach Of his creditors, Mr.. Wiman had
tho conveyance made,
1t may be- that his creditors could
have got hold Of his real estate anyhow
by showing that it was bought with Mr.,
Wiman'a money, but his course in the
affair is none the less honorable and, in
these shifty times, worthy OF notice.
