ONO Rlver Railroad.

We clip the following items from
the Parkersburg Sentinel of the
21st. Everybody will rejoice at
the prosperity this popular road is
now enjoying:
The increase of traffic on the o.
r. r. has caused very percepti-
BILE improvement in the condition
of affairs at the shops. All depart
ments are now running full ten
hours per day and it has been nee
essary to increase the force in some
of them. The general repair work
necessary to keep the road in first
class order is taxing the capacity
of the shops to execute.
The run of freight over the road
still continues very heavy and will
no doubt remain unusually heavy
until navigation opens and boats
are able to resume their business
in the local freight line.
A number of new men have been
added in various departments since
the first of the month. In the
painters force John Hill, @. I.
Fortner and Doc Dotson have re-
Gently begun work; and two new
boiler-makers more recently en-
ployed Sam Smith and Doll PEN
ley. Gram Lytle and 81. R. Leech
have been employed as laborers.
b. F. Barrett was added to the list
Of extra fremen short time ago.
Master Mechanic Walter Lay
man, of the o. r. R. Shops, ex-
poets to leave on Saturday for JEFF
fersonville, Ind, where he will
make arrangements for purchasing
lot of new passenger coaches for
the road. He will be gone for
about week.

TIME OF SECOND TRIAL.
The Luetgert Case May Be Resumed
Aeain at Once


The Luetgert Case May Be Resumed
Again at once.Ss
Chicago, Oct. 25.@There is posi-
bility that the second trial of Adolph
L. Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer,
will begin this week. State Attorney
Deneen said that unless the defense
asked for a continuance and still per-
sisted in their demand for the release
of the prisoner on bail, he would put
the case on trial call for Wednesday.
The state attorney does not know
what judge will be selected to hear
the second trial. Judge Horton has
been suggested and the case may
come up before him.
"The second trial will not be as
long as the recent trial was" said
State Attorney Deneen 1--WE know the
defense now. We are also better pre-
pared with our own evidence, and
there is much of it that was submitted
during the trial just ended that will
be omitted on the new trial. We have
considerable important new evidence
which we will Introduce. But now
that we know the situation thoroughly
the progress of the new trial will be
more rapid, but none the less interest
ing, than the first trial. We shall not
consent to ball.
State Attorney Deneen will insist
that something be done in the Luet-
CERT case this week. He does not in
tend to permit the defense to spring
upon him the technical assertion that
Luetgert has been in jail four terms
of court without a trial, and is there
fore entitled to his discharge.

"A number OF persons ale going

successfully in Richie county and
a number of well-to-do farmers are

The sickly thing down street.

to crawl out of the hole into which
the Register sent it a few days
ago. It now pirates about its abiI-
ity to print 1900 page pamphlet
in twenty days with six compost
tors, and $16o worth of material.
The editor knows as much about
printing as does an African ape,
and his last. statement holds him
up to ridicule among all printers.
The thing mentioned above cannot
print letter head or set up an adj
vertisement without going to Ray
burns Job Office and borrowing
the type to do it with, and yet it
talks about doing as nice pamphlet
printing with its old worn out type,
appIe-butter ink and rickety old
presses, as could the Wheeling
Register. The sickly thing is on
its last legs and is dying. despised
and hated by its own party, as well
as the entire community.

The death of Mr.. Geo. NJ Pull
man, the builder of the Pullman
Sleeping and Parlor Cars, reputed
to be worth s4o,ooo,ooo. none of
which he could take with him,
brings up this reflection: No mat
ter what mans position in life,
how little the world needs his TAX
ing off. For brief moment the
multitude may pause beside an
open grave, but beyond the ceme-
terry wall we hear the river of traf-
fc unretarded. Perhaps King
has laid down his scepter and
crown, but another has takan them
up, and the world goes on. And
yet the thought of death is notone
to terrify. We look upon it as the
end of suffering. A perfect rest
that cometh to the weary child of
earth in Gods own good time.

Al couple of Republican bosses"
have recently taken fit of RE
form. and it is feared the attack
viii result fatally. MA. L. Bog
CESS, a Republican, but not a ina
chine man, was awarded a con-
tract by the County Court, to do
some stone work for bridges and
culverts. The bosses, thinking to
ingratiate themselves in the good
graces of the taxpayers, interposed
an objection to allowing his bill
for the work. The Court was call
ed together and after consultation.
and by command of these bosses,
Mr.. Steenbergen was decided upon
to measure the work. According
Iy the President of the Court hired
double rig and went down to
Gallipolis Ferry. for Mr.. Steen-
bergen, and brought him here.
Then another rig was hired, and
all went on the ground to measure
the work. The result is, Mr..
Steenbergen's measurement makes
the number of yards of stone work
considerably in excess of what Mr..
Borgess. bill called for. 1t cost to
find this out:
8 Commissioners 8 days at
81 per day .... $500
For teams. 1000
Expenses of Bosses. 49,. 500

This looks very much like stop
ping at the ''spigot." and running
at the "bung-hole."
Mr.. Borgess., however, will ex-
plain the whole matter in the pub
lie prints, in time.

mo yvoriz Of ADJUSTING the DiHerelnces
Between United states ana Capada
Has Not Progressed For
Two Years.

washington, Oct. 25.-It Is believed
here that in view of the great promi-
hence Alaska has achieved owing to
the recent gold discoveries and the
Importance of definitely fixing the
boundary line between our territory
and that of the Dominion of Canada
that the senate. when it assemblies in
December, will take early action upon
the treaty pending between Great Brit
ain and the United States for the sur
Yey and marking of the one hundred
and forty first meridian.
This treaty was sent to the senate
almost two years ago. The one hun
dred and forty-first meridian marks
the eastern boundary of Alaska down
to within 10 marine leagues of the
southern coast, where the line trends
to the southeast, keeping that distance
from the coast
Concerning the one hundred and
forty-first meridian there is no contro-
yersy between the United States and
Great Britain, but no basis Of settle
ment of the southeastern line has yet
been reached by the two countries
The original treaty as sent to the
senate, it is understood, was amended
or proposed to be amended by Senator
stewart SO as to include the settlement
of the dispute relating to the south
eastern line.
If such an amendment were insisted
upon by the senate, as appears not un-
likely will be the case. it is not at all
certain that Great Britain would at
present agree to the modification.
In 1898 each government appointed
commissioner to survey the territory
through which this line runs. and each
made typographical maps of the coun-
try which were submitted to the re-
spectiye governments December 81,
1895. These commissioners, however,
had no power to propose a settlement.
