The Baltimore & Ohio Company
commenced yesterday distributing the
new steel rails between Moundsville
and Cameron. The steel is the 80
pound kind, and is to be laid as soon
as this work is completed. Some time
ago the company laid this class of rails
between Fairmont and Grafton, but
the money for this purpose was ex-
hausted and the work could not be
completed between Grafton and Ben
wood without an order from the
courts. Recently an inspection was
made of the company's lines and it
was seen that much new track was
needed on the Fourth division. An
order was at once given and the en-
tire distance is to have the new rails
AS soon as the above distance is i'm
proved the work will be extended out
further until the whole job is done.
The B. e o. are making improvements
of this nature in all Of the divisions
owing to such a heavy freight bust
ness, and it requiring much larger
locomotives to handle the trains. The
first and second divisions have double
tracks and if the fourth could only
have the same thing the employees
would feel very happy At any rate
the company handles trains on this
division on very good time, and here
of late have had no accidents of any

cord, the latter outlining the scrolls.
Another black net band supports q

blue and steel beads, diminutive jet
crescents being also sprinkled upon the
band.
Bandsof black mousseline de sole
are richly embroidered with jet facets
and beads and studded with oplescen:
stones. Some have straight and others
fancy edges describing scollops, points
or scrolls.
Pink and several shades of purple
are used in conjunction upon hat in

canvas or cloth gown. The brin is Of
dark purple chenille braid and the soft
crown Of light heliotrope velvet figur-
ed with tiny chrysanthemums in sew
eral shades Of purple. The crowd is
banded with light heliotrope MORE taft
feta ribbon, arranged in small loops
at the left side. Two small heliotrope
loops are fixed at the right side, and
at each side of the back are ros1s and
violets, which furnish as effective a
contrast in artificial as in real flowers.
Skirt trimming, a revived fashion,
when properly applied stitched on
firmly without being drawn or quicker
ed-perfectly imparts the effect OF
braiding.
Boleros are made with round, square
or pointed corners with scalloped,
pointed or battlemented edges, with
revers or without, and also with shoul-
der caps.
Many pretty conceits are shown In
both plastrons and stomachers, both
being renewals of old styles modified
to suit modern needs, as are all reviv-
ed fashions.
Newer than frogs is a garniture
somewhat resembling them, extending
from neck to waistline The trimming
is especially effective upon the mill
tary basques and short Empire box
jackets in vogue.-The Delineator.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERIES.

Within the past few days there has
been several attempts to rob three or
four we'll known railroad men in Nc
Mechen. The latest was at the home
of B. & o. Engineer John Hauck. He
was awakened the other night by a
noise at his window but before he
could get out two or three parties
came along and the would-be thief
was frightened away. The home of
Harry Drake, a well known fireman,
was also visited, but the robbers met
with the same kind Of a reception as
recorded above McMechen is getting
to be a little tough here of late, and
1T is good place for thieves to operate
in, especially the day that the B. & O.
pays off, for large number OF the
employees live there.

THE NEW MILEAGE BOOK.

The new mileage books issued by
the Central Passenger Association
committee are now on sale at the b.
& o. office. The price is $50, but
|s1O rebate is given, when the mileage
IFS used up. The book is good on all
lines who are members of the associa-
ton, but holders of the same must
present them at the ticket offices
where they will be given a ticket in
exchange, the mileage being accepted
as money. Just how the book will
take in this locality is hard to say.
None have been sold as yet, but later
the new scheme may be success.
