MANY LANDSLIDES.

fered yesterday morning by four or
five landslides in the Narrows, above
Glendale. Trains were delayed about
TWO hours, but no damage was done to
The read bed. The slips were all small
Cnes. and force of men were on hand
to clean them up. Across the river
the Pennsylvania branch road, which
connects Bellaire and Powhatan, was
more unfortunate. Several large slips
came in near Wegee and opposite
Moundsville large sections of earth
came down on the tracks, completely
covering everything The company.
however, had a large force of men at
work. and as the road only runs two
or three trains daily. very little incon-
v5nience was caused The Mounds
vile and Benwood street car line kept
a force of men at work in the Mar
rows. and as fast as the mud came in
on the track it was shoveled off. thus
keeping the road open, and no delays
occurred.

The past several days four railroad
clerks employed in this vicinity have
