WORK OF REPAIRING
The Damage to the Railroads at
Moundsville Still Continues The
B. & o. Trestle Completed Yester-
day Afternoon---Not Much Work
Done Here---TrainS Running on
Schedule Time.

The big force of men which the b. q
o. company put to work upon the re-
pairing of the damage wrought at
Moundsville by Monday morning $
storm, accomplished great deal in a
short time. Owing to the soft nature OF
the earth where the bridge went out,
it was found impracticable to rebuild
thu, bridge at once, and temporary
trestle was put up, which was COM
pleted Yesterday afternoon. During
the morning through trains went over
the Hempfield division, but hereafter
they will run over the Fourth division
as befcre. The washouts on the Camp
Ground switch have not yet been
touched. the most important work De-
ing done first. Many Wheeling per-
sons who have been living at the Camp
Grounds and going down every evening,
did not go down last night, on account
of the long and disagreeable walk AFTER
leaving the station.
The work of rebuilding the B. & o..
bridge over Wheeling creek will re-
Guire considerable time, as it is the in
teation to make vary substantial piece
CT work. The company has therefore
established freight offices in the Hemp
field yards, while passenger trains stop
on the south bank of the creek.
The Ohio River bridge al Little Grave
creek will not be- finished until this
evening, but the. roadbed along the
"Narrows" and the Glendale trestle
are all right. Freight and passengers
are no longer taken TO Moundsville by
boat, as the trains run down to the
scene of the washout, and transfer at
that point, causing very little delay.
The Panhandle company's freight
bridge over Wheeling creek has re-
ceived the necessary repairs and trains
are running over it as usual.
Geo. A. Burt, general manager OF the
Ohio River railroad, is in the city. He
has finished the temporary bridge struc-
ture al Moundsvil,e. and is to be COM
me-ad on the expeditions manner he
has managed the matter under existing
difficulties.

SEN. Her skin At a Dollar an 1neh.

Sells Her Skin At . Dollar an Inch.
A young woman living on Mission
street makes living by selling her
skin for grating purposes. A year
ago she first contributed little skin
to friend who was in need Of a
whole hide, aud, finding that she could
stand the pain, and that her skin was
particularly healthy, she concluded to
p'ofit by it. She sent a letter to nearly
every physician and surgeon in this
city and Oakland, calling their atten-
ton to the fact that she had healthy
skin for sale.
Since then the young woman has had
all the orders she could fill at very
reasonable rates. She charges 81 u
square inch, and usually parts with
twenty or thirty square inches Mt q
time. Altogether she has had nearly
seven square feet Of her skin removed
from her body, and has now got around
to the second growth. She is proba-
bly, the only woman on earth who has
been f1ayed alive.-San Francisco Post.
