Railroad Trains.

Trainmen on the Ohio River
Railroad have been annoyed great
ly, of late by the stoning of their
trains between Benwood and
Wheeling. On Friday last two
windows were broken in north
bound passenger train No. 2, and
two cabooses were pretty badly
used up and Capt. Mehen was
detailed on Saturday to investigate
the case and catch the law, and
window breakers. Accordingly he
went up on No. 10, Saturday and
got off at Benwood where he caught
three boys in the very act of ston-
ing the train. The oldest of the
boys was only eleven years of age,
and the other two being nine and
eight. Chief of Police Bennett
detailed an officer to accompany
Capt. Mehen, and the boys were
all arrested but their parents agree
ing to pay all damages and re-
strain them from further commits
sion of the deed, they were all re-
notwithstanding Sentinel.

Oil in Mason.

There is evidence that soon there
will be some startling news from
the territory now being worked for
oil, and it will be of kind that
will excite our whole people and
bring awe to the oil magnates who
have so long, by money and treach-
cry, kept Mason county territory
from being developed. We heard
a prominent oil man from Pennsyl-
vania say yesterday evening that he
would be lawful sorry to hear of a
well coming in in this section of the
county of 100 barrels or less per
day, as it would open up a new oil
field and destroy the oil market,
as oil was now being produced at the
lowest price ever known, and with
but little profit to the operators. !"
This seems to let the "cat out of the
bag" and is in keeping with former
statements made by this paper,
that the Standard Oil Company
would not permit a we'll to. be de-
veloped in this new territory, if it
was possible for them. to prevent it.

Famous Statues Criticized.

Berlin equestrian statues have
been examined by veterinary
surgeon of Posdam, named Bougert,
who asserts that the position of the
horses legs is wrong in all of them,
not excepting the statues of the
Great Karfurst, of Frederick the
Great, and of Frederick William III.
and w. He finds the same faults
in many of the paintings in the Ber-
lin national gallery. In Egyptian,
Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian
works of art, the positions of the
horses are natural and right; In
those of the Greeks and Romans
they are not always correct. The
equestrian statues of the two Balbi,
father and SON, in the Naples
museum, have the legs of the horses
in the proper position.

Nnrro1r Escape.

from Wednesday Daily.
What might have been very
serious accident was averted by a
ready presence Of mind. Mr.. Lon
T. Pilchard and Mr. Miller of the
South Penn Oil Co, were return
ing from trip to the DeYolt oil
we'll back Of Letart yesterday even
ing. and while descending the Hill
on the Clarksburg road at the rail
road junction, the two Ohio River
trains pulled into the depot. and
the team was halted at the top of
the hill to await the departure of
the up train. Soon it pulled out
and passed out of view. Mr.. Pilch-
ard who was driving the team
thinking the train had gone, started
on down the hill, and when near
the foot of the hill the train backed
down to the depot again, and the
horses became frightened and
plunged and started to run, but
Mr.. Pilchard drew SO tight on the
lines that one of the horses fell to
his knees and Mr.. Miller jumped
out of the buggy and caught him
by the nose, and Mr.. Pilchard
jumping also and holding to the
lines held the animals in check
until the train had departed. They
were only a few feet from the track,
and second or two more would
have thrown them into the train.
This is very dangerous crossing,
both ascending and descending
the hill, and while switching is
being done there, some one should
remain at the crossing with flag
to signal teams on the road. By
this means serious accident may
be prevented.

lily shears were out of reach, while
his razors at such times were locked
up and the key hidden.
He did not say much, because he
was not in a condition to talk, and
when he was sober he did not care
to refer to the past
But he grew worse instead of bet
ter, and one night he went home at
late hour and found the hall bril-
liantly lighted, and on a table I'M

man named O'Hara, and along with

not to be assumed that the second
