Last Thursday evening there was a
| lot of fun at the B. q o. depot. o. E.
Murray, formerly grocer or this city,
and Miss Terrell, one OF the attaches Of
the City Hospital, were married on that
day. The ladies of the hospital fixed
up their trunk before it was taken 10
the depot 10 an odd manner. Around 1t
were stretched three pieces Of muslin,
and tied TO this were two pairs OF over
shoes and a pair OF gloves. The name
City Hospital and other things were
written on the trunk in bold letters.
A large crowd Of rairoaders assembled
when the trunk reached the depot, and
there was no end Of fun. When the
groom heard Of the fun they were hav-
ing with his wedding trunk he lost no
time in going to the depot and taking
off the adornments in hurried man
ner. The bridal pair left the city at
5:35 in the evening for West Alexander.
As the REGISTER predicted there
would be designations at the w. Il l.. h.
freight department, Samuel Swayne
and Edward Baker quit work last Thurs
day evening. They passed in their res
ignations by reason OF the recent cut OF
3355 per cent. to which they were sub
jscted. They reasoned it that it would
be about as we'll to do no work as to be
getting 81 cent day, the amount they
received under the cut. These young
men had been in the employ Of the
company for some time, and were COM
petent and efficient railroaders. Charles
BrocKhardt has been appointed to fill
one of the places, and two hustlers were
at work there yesterday.
George B. Turner, agent Of the w.
G. L. E., in this city has resigned his

The b. & O., continues to do its i'm
mense business in the handling. The
yards at Benwood Junction do the best
business and it is immense. The high
est record yet made for twenty -four
hours was the transferring OF 433 loads
to the different branches and the Pan
Handle and the w. & l.. f. On an
average there are 300 loads daily passing
the Junction. All the freight crews are
making better time than ever before in
the history Of their employ by the COM
pany.
The w. & z. G. is making big prep
arations for the Elks outing st Wheel
ing park on the 9TH and Sth of this
month. On those days fourteen cars
will leave the depot every hour for
the park, or be four trains every
hour. 1t is expected that this will
break the record for travel in the his
tory of the line.
One of the officials of the W. & L. E.
stated yesterday that it was his belief
that all the miners along his line would

The B. & o. shops at Benwood juno
ton were never buster than they are at
present. The immense quantities of
coal handled by the Company has made
il very hard on the cars, and at the be-
ginning OF this week there were LOG
damaged cars in the shops for repairs.
The B. e 0. pay car was in the city
yesterday, gladeniug the heart OF the
railroader. The car left on No. 4 at
4 o'clock in the afternoon for Balti-
