REBUILDING THE b. a. o.
The Entire Line from Philadelphia {,
the Ohio River to be OverhauIed.

The Baltimore q Ohio railroad
has commenced the practical re-
building of the line from Philadel-
phia to the Ohio river. From time
to time mention has been made of
improvements at various points, not
ably Cumberland, Hancock and Ben
wood. At Benwood new terminal
facilities, including shops and yards,
have been put in, and that point is
now the terminus of three divisions
of the road. At Harper's Ferry a
tunnel is building under historical
Maryland heights, new bridge is
erecting over the Potomac and new
roadbed is building.
That some general improvements
were contemplated was limited at sew
eral months ago when an order was
placed for fifty new Locomotives larg-
er than any ever used before on the
line.
The intention to relay the entire
line from Philadelphia to the Ohio
river with steel rails and to ballast
this distance with broken stone was
not made known until few days
ago. The contract for the ballast
has been let to the Daniel Baker
Lime & Cement Company of Freder-
lex, Md, and the stone is to be ia
ken from the mountains about Row.
lesburg, W. Va. The contractors
have two stone crushers at work at
Burkes' crossing, and have the ma
chinery for two more at Tunnelton
They are now employing eighty men
and will need three times that num-
Der when the two other crushers are
put to work next week. Two more
similar plants are to be erected. The
road from Cumberland to Wheeling
has always been the worst part of
the line and has caused much
trouble.

is AN EXCEPTION.
He Thinks People Havn't Confidence In
this Administration but is alone in
His Belief,

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
An intelligent farmer was telling me
yesterday that he had an interview
with an officer of the Bank of the Mo-
nongahela Valley few days ago. and
the officer said to him "the finances are
in terrible condition throughout the
country. Banks are breaking almost
daily, ETC."
Ny friend asked him II he did not
think it was the Sherman law that was
causing all this trouble? He replied,
"No, it was because the people had no
confidence in the present administra-
ton"
oh, We gods, haven't they2 Well, they
appeared to have great deal of conf
dence in it last November when it re-
ceived the greatest majority that any
president has received since the war
And upon the subject of tariff, the prin-
eiples advocated by Mr.. Cleveland and
his cabinet were carried by nearly two
million majority.
Mr.. Sherman says himself the bill
known as the Sherman bill is the princi-
pal cause of the present financial troub-
lie. He says he introduced it as a COM
promise measure to prevent the free
coinage OF silver He admits il was a
bad law when passed, and in further
proof of this Senator Sherman introduce
ed a bill to abolish the law known as the
Sherman law Notwithstanding all this
our bank officer imagines he knows
more than Mr.. Sherman himself, and
declares it is not the Sherman law, but
want of confidence in the present adj
ministration. Perhaps there is some
misunderstanding. Possibly our friend
the bank officer means that the people
don't think that Cleveland will be able
to rectify all the bad laws and to find
out all the frauds and to punish them
during the four years he has to serve.
Our republican farmers are bowling
about the low price OF wool, and laying
the blame on Cleveland. What has
Cleveland done to affect wool? Moth
ing You farmers are alone to blame.
Your leaders have told you all along
that high tariff cheapens articles, and
democrats agree with them in regard to
cheapening of wool You boosted when
the Mckinley bill brought down the
price OF sugar, but you howl when it
brings down wool.
| had conversation with soldier a
few days ago, and in most things a very
intelligent man. But it is not astonish
ing that even republicans of intelligence
can be bamboozled by their leaders and
This man says he is afraid
Cleveland will take his pension from
him. Is it not very foolish to think that
Cleveland would allow his commissioner
of pensions to grant new pensions daily
if he intended to abolish pensions2 Is
il not also astonishing that republicans
who are intelligent on other matters can
be made TO believe that the republican
party originated the pension laws2 The
pension laws were passed as early as
1919, by democratic congress and sign
ed by democratic president. 1t is true
that the pension law has been changed
at different times but some of the
changes ought never to have been made.

GROUND UNDER THE WHEELS.
A FArRaosr MANS TRAGIC END.
1t is Whispered That The Unfortunate
Man Was Murdered.
Fa irmont Free Press

IA ifmont free Press.
Last Sunday morning at about
1890 O'Clock the body of man was
found by Noah Fetty and A. B. Wat
kins lying on the B. 4 o. track about
mile and a half west of this place,
and near the mines of the Central
Coal Company. The body was lay
ing on the outside of the rails, face
down, and the head and right arm
were between the rails. Mr.. Fetty
gave the alarm apd assistance came.
Coroner John Fisher was notified,
who went to the scene and had the
mangled body removed to r. L. Gun
ningham's undertaking rooms on
Monroe street
AZ 8 O'Clock Constable K. B. Tibbs
summoned the following jury: T.
W. Fleming, foreman, T. B. Hide.
brand, (. S. Parker, T. b. Flagton,
j. f. Koon, W. E. Arnett, L. L. Du-
mire, r. f. Morgan, II. I. Hall, Geo.
II. Shinn and H. c. Sample
Upon examination of the remains
it was found that the head had been
completely severed from the trunk,
the wheels of the train passing over
the neck, leaving the lower jaw on
the body. On the back of the head
was large cut and several small
ones. The upper portion of the face
was not injured and the eye lids re.
manned Enclosed. The right arm
was entirely severed at the shout
der. A search of his clothing was
made and a pocket knife, a cigar
and a white handkerchief with red
border were all that was found.
The pocket knife was recognized by
many, as the property of AL. New
ell, and many witnesses recognized
the features when shown the upper
portion of the face. The initials
"A. l.. NJ were tatooed on his left
arm as was also the form of woman.
There seemed no doubt as to the
identity of the remains.
The next question was how did he
come by his death?
He was seen at GAINESVILLE at a
picnic and dance about ten o'clock
bat after that no trace Of him has
been learned Why he went away
around the railroad track to get
home, when he could come up the
pike a much nearer way, is unex-
planned. Drs. viii Ogden and Har.
ry Harr were called and examined
the body, but no marks to indicate
that he had been shot or otherwise
unfairly dealt with were found. At
the place where the body was found
there is plenty of room at the side
OF the track to walk, and he could
not have been necessarily run down.
The true story of Amos L. Newell's
death still remains mystery, but we
hope all will yet be fully explained
The jury returned verdict that the
deceased came to his death by be-
ing run over by train.
The remains were prepared and
taken to his home in Fairmont on
Sunday evening. The funeral took
place Monday ut l o'clock from his
home, Rev. Epgle officiating The
deceased was aged SO years, and
leaves behind devoted wife and
three children, to whom he proved
an affectionate and loving husband
and indulgent father He was kind
and generous to his wife and family
under all circumstances. His worst
enemy was drink. Besides his fami-
~ he leaves behind his father, step
mother, four sisters and five broth.

Mid summer Novelties in Ladies' Hats.

Plain or elaborate, toilette can
hardly become success without an
accompanying hat which will har-
monize and add to it the indispensa-
BILE finishing touch. But the selcc-
tion Of the latter is problem Of con-
siderable study, for one must bear
in mind the circumstances for which
costume is intended and according
ly choose the most appropriate head
gear. One of the characteristic
features OF the Mcdowell Fashion
Journals is that they generally rep
resent a hat of the latest fashion
with each costume, for the double
purpose of giving millinery novel
ties and of illustrating the intimate
relation between {, toilette and the
head gear. If you are unable to
procure any of these magazines at
your newsdealer, do not accept any
substitute, but apply directly to
Messrs. A. Mcdowell u Co., A West
18th Street, New York.

GRANDPARENTS ELOPE.
A Giddy Couple Of Old Ducks Skip from
Marietta-Supposed to be in
Cincinnati. :

MARIETTA, O., July 22.--John A.
Lightner, aged SO, and Mrs. Mary
Startling, wife of John Startling, aged
46 have eloped. Both leave families.
The elopemcnt is the result of s. liza
son of several months standing. This
evening Lightner's wife filed two af-
fidavits against him charging him
with adultery and enbezzlement. He
carried away with him 5000 belong
ing to his aged and infirm father.
He was pietistical and somewhat OF
preacher. 1t is thought that they
are in Cincinnati. Both are grand
parents, Lightner's children being in
this city and Pittsburg, while Mrs.
Starling's are here and in Wheeling.
The affair has caused intense excite
ment in the Fifth ward, where both
lived.

When VIII the Railroad be Openeds

There is considerable speculation
as to when the F., M. q p. extension
will be completed and trains run di-
rectly to Pittsburg. Mr.. Stratton,
of the firm of Contractors who are
laying the track, is authority for the
statement that it cannot be finished
for at least three months. 1t is true
the track is finished from the North
to a point this side of Morgan's tun-
mel and tracklaying from this end is
going along steadily, and when fin
ished to Cheat river, it will then re-
quire from 40 to SO days to put up
the bridge over that stream. From
this it will be seen that there is little
probability of trains to Pittsburg
before the next change of schedule
which will be about Nov. Is.

Gave Him The Slip.

An officer came up from Browns
vile, Pa, several days ago and after
chasing around in the rural districts
for week arrested Valley Haddoek
and brought her with her two chill
dren to town. Mrs Haddock was
charged with stealing about 800
from boarding house in Browns
vile. After coming to town the of
ticer left the woman at the Hopkins
hotel while he went out in search OF
law, Mrs. Haddock at the same time
started out in search of black berries
and forgot to return. The officer is
spending his time in riding over our
beautiful mountain roads but it is
safe to say that Mrs. Fl. will not re-
turn to Pennsylvania with him.
