Yesterday morning about half-pasC
eleven O'Clock Receiver j. X. Cowen,
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and General Manager w. M. Green,
of the same corporation, arrived in the
CITY on rather an unexpected visit. The
officials called upon President Hullihen
Quarter. of the Chamber of Com
merce and soon a number OF leading
business were apprized of the presence
of the visitors in the city, and they
were escorted to the Fort Henry Club
for luncheon. Those present, IN addl-
tion 10 Messrs. Cowen and Green, were
President Quarter and Secretary How
ard Hazlett. Of the Chamber, Con-
gresham B. B. Dovener, and Messrs.
ID. Culbertson, John C. Riheldaffer.
B. w. Peterson, Henry Baer, and two
or three others. After luncheon the
gentlemen spent short time IN con-
versation, and then the railroad otfi-
Gals proceeded to their car, and left
for Pittsburg about half-past one
o'clock
The leading and most interesting
topic up for informal discussion was
the proposed new passenger station at
this city. and Receiver Cowen gave
every assurance that the matter had
bv no means been lost sight Of by the
Company. but that, on the contrary,
he was doing what was reasonably pos
sible to advance the matter and tnat
structure would be erected which
would be credit both to the Company
and the city. There are certain diff
entities in the way which must be either
removed or such changes in plans made
as will enable the Company to proceed
on other lines. but he assured the
Wheeling gentlemen that depot would
be built and that there would be public
satisfaction with it. President Quar-
rier and the other gentlemen left moth
ing undone to give the officials strong
intimation of the public wish for the
speedy accomplishment Of the I'M
provement. and this feeling was cordi-
ally. received and reciprocated by the
representatives of the corporation.
Mr.. Quarter has been particularly
active in bringing judicious pressure
to bear upon the company, by corre-
spondence and otherwise, and he, IN
common with business men generally
can be depended upon to do what is
possible in the matter.
Before the B. & o. officials left they
had a brief conference with Receiver
Brewster and Passenger Agent Taus-
sig, of the Terminal Railway Company.

There are many signs indicating that old

For a while this cures the trouble. but IN

Geo. W, Shaner, of Watauga, met
with an accident at the Southern depot
Monday evening which caused him to
lose his right hand. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Shaner was slightly under the in
fuence of liquor and attempted to board
the local, intending to go home. He
caught hold of the rods but failed to
get his feet on the steps. The train

ing onto the rods dragged him down.
Falling on his back he mechanicly
threw out his right hand to protect
himself from the fall. 1t happened to
strike the rail and the next instant the
wheel had passed over it, MASKING it so
badly that it had to be amputated at
the wrist joint.
DIR. E. s. Miller was called and gave
the injured man all the relief possible
until Ross Smith s train came two hours
later, when he was taken home, DIR.
