II Is now definitely known that only
three lives were lost In Mondays de-
structivc rain storm In Ohio, Marshall,
and Belmont counties. tits not SO easy
to learn the approximate property loss.
Tho loss to the several railroad COM
panles 10 estimated at 100000 10 s15o,.
900, and will probably go over that.
amount. The damage to farm houses
and farm lands Is apparently moro se-
we're than was at first estimated. For
Instance, the damage across the river
In the valleys Of wcsee and Pipe creeks
Is now estimated to reach 100000 or
more. On tho West Virginia side the
loss is more than that figure, as the ter
ritory devastated Is more extensive. Al
together the property loss may reach
$500. 900.
Yesterday the railroad companies had
large crews OF workmen engaged In tho
work OF repairing the damage done by
the storm. At the Baltimore & Ohio
station In this city, n force OF men was
put at work last evening tearing away
the wreckage. AS soon as possible the
two fallen bridges will. be flshed out of
the creek and Replaced. 1t Is said the
Baltimore & Ohio company will repair
the passenger station so that 1t Will
be about as It was before the disaster.
Some people hoped that a new station
would be q satisfactory result of an ,un-
fortunate event.
The bridge OF the Pan Handle rail-
road, right at the mouth of the creek,
was found to be. In a shakyYcondition
yesterday when the yard engine went
over II. Last night the wrecking crew
OF the Pan Handle arrived from Steu-
benville, and soon the pile driver was
at work STRENGTHENING the northern ap-
proach of the bridge, where 1t had Slip
ped over two feet during the day. The
crew had the bridge in good condition
at midnight, SO that this morning
freight can be received and shipped at
the Pan Handle freight station.
The work of repair at the Baltimore
& Ohio passenger station, however, will
not be completed for several weeks
probably, unless 1t Is decided to erect a
temporary structure across the creek.
Down at Moundsvillc, the Baltimore
& Ohio and Ohio River crews were
hard at work putting up temporary
wooden bridges across Grave creeks and
1t was expected that the Baltimore &
ohio's would be completed at an early
hour this morning. In the meantime
trains connect at the break. Until the
passenger station Of the Baltimore &
Ohio in this city. can be repaired, pas
senger trains stop on ythe Sixteenth
street. track, between Main and Mar
ket. Freight is received and delivered
at the Hempfield yards, opposite the
city building.

WHY IT FELL.
The South Pier OF the Pittsburgh Division
Bridge Caused the Station Span to Cave

In.
a building expert who was examining
the surroundings of the wreck of the
Baltimore &c Ohio station, over the
creek. yesterday afternoon. thinks he
can explain the disaster, TO the sat!sfnc-
ton of everybody. He calls attention
to the fact that all the piers Of the Pitts
,burgh division bridge. were built with
edges 10 the current of the stream, with
the exception ofthe southern pier, which
presents It's broad front obllqucly to the
current so that the water went directly
toward the stone pier Of the station
bridge that fell. This Is undoubtedly
the true explanation of the collapse OF
the station pier.

lex Rombauer. Western District S Bo,sford
The boy orator is not too
youthful to be charged with men
dacity.
Bryan evidently believes in
free advertising as well as free sill
yer.
No doubt some of the in
cessant free silver talk is intended
to drown the voice of conscience.
The news that Bryan had
had his hair cut was probably
sent out to prove he had not lost
his head.
-Altgeld may sometimes
bring the house down as an orator,
but as a landlord he never re-
duces the rent.
Candidate Bryan is too
busy keeping the tails of the tick
eft untangled to twist the British
Lions tail.
The storm in the East last
week seems to have made the peo-
pie forget the Bryan "wind' that
preceded it.
Ii is to be regretted that
p. T. Barnum did not live to see
Billy Bryan. Old Phineas had a
wonderful appreciation for hum
bugs.
If the new comet is an ex-
elusive wanderer, it will keep its
tail remote from the earth until
the Bryan ticket goes to pieces
November 3.
The "bloody shirt" has
gone out of date. The working
man is just now studying the
patches on his trousers due to a
Democratic tariff
-s'Ear silver' may mean the
dollars and halves and quarters
now passing over saloon counters
to hold the slum element in cities
in line for the boy orator
If Mr. Bryan continues 70
travel until November 3, he Will
at any rate learn something of the
size of the nation w.ich does not
want him for President.
OF course free silver would
cut all the life insurance policies in
two-but the Chicago convention
cont mplated only the death of
Democracy, which is not insured.
Since Bryan interfered and
prevented a thief from relieving a
man of his pocket-book in New
Hampshire, the East must admit he
has scruples as to how it is done.
1t is idle to censure Mr..
Bryan SO much for misquoting
al To 1pfn
tosdisregard it any more than most
other things held sacred by the
people.
July 2, 1896, the Atlanta
Constitution remarked, ave shall
have better times as soon as the
Dnmocrats declare for free silver"
Do the people still trust in Demo-
cratic promisesi
Henry George advises la
borers in factories and the like to
talk for Mckinley and vote for
Bryan. Few will be surprised to
learn that Henry Georges moral
code develops liars as we'll as
repudiators.
Col. Ingersol is not speak
ing much in this campaign. 1t
maybe that he was driven to
speechless astonishment when the
Chicago platform declared for a
state of torture in this country
which he had always thought
could not exist.
A Democratic exchange
complains that Republicans will
drag the tariff more or less into
political discussion. The editor
is entitled to sympathy. With
Sancho Panza, he feels it is bad
taste to be talking of halters in the
house of the hanged.

THE GHOST TRAIN.
BY CY WARMAN.

When the Rio Grande Western was q
marrow gauge road it was very crooked.
Even in the Utah desert there We're
many curves among the sand hills that
have been piled up during the past few
thousand years. A locomotive-oneo of
a type known as Sewing machines" be-
cause all their machinery was in sight
was trying to make spur for the
general managers special, against
which she had time order. The time
was growing alarmingly short, and the
driver of the light engine knew that
the man on the special, with the gen
eral manager behind him, would be
crowding the limit. These sewing
hachines" were famous riders. The
springs were so light and so perfectly
adjusted that one of these locomotives
would ride as easily to the engineer
as Pullman car does to commercial
traveller, with one seat for himself and
another for his feet. AS the little ma
chine rocked round the corners, scream
ing at every curve, the engineer and
fireman kept a sharp lookout ahead,
at the same time counting the minutes
and reckoning the miles that still lay
between them and the spur.
Down the desert one of the swiftest
engines on the road was trembling
away toward the sewing machine, and
at the end of each minute the two 10
comotives were IA miles nearer each
pther.
To be allowed to pull" the general
manager is an honor earnestly striven
for by engineers, and when once OBJ
tained it is carefully guarded. What
ever record n man makes at the head of
such train is sure to count for or
against him, since he is then direct
ly under the eye of the management.
The chances are always in favor Of a
good run, for the train dispatcher, with
his own reputation at stake, can be de-
pended upon to keep the track clear.
He will hold passenger train ten min
utes rather than hold the special five.
Another point in favor of the special en-
gineer is the fact that he is due at no
particular point at any specified time,
and having no time card to hold him
down he may regulate the speed of the
train to suit himself. He is always an
experienced runner who knows the
road-knows every low joint and high
