A RIG IMPROVEMENT

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany has improved its freight facili-
ties in Philadelphia very materially
during the past year. A new pier No.
% South, which was completed in De-
cember, is 557 feet long and 140 wide,
and is said to be one Of the finest in
the city Vessels of the deepest draught
can tie up on both sides of the pier,
thereby affording every facility for the
prompt handling of freight The pier
and sheds are lighted with improved
incandescent lights, and well paved
driveways have been provided.
This improvements enables the B. &
0. to handle about three times as much
business as formerly. The different
freight yards throughout the city have
been improved by the laying of addi-
tional tracks, and arrangements have
been made with the Pennsylvania
Warehousing and Safe Deposit Com
pany by which the b. & 0. handles
grain, -four. hay, straw, canned goods
and other merchandise through their
warehouse elevators.

ne miners of Wheeling district. in
Guiding Ohio, Marshall and Brooke

ternoon at the Trades Assembly Hail
lof the purpose of taking action on the
proposition to join the sub-district
across tfe river in Ohio,
AT the meeting a somewhat 6iscour-

ai BOARD at Columbus, was
read it stating that the re-
quest of the Wheeling district TO ioin
me ONO district was refused. and that
ms ms district should belong to West

| braces the mining territory in the Ka-
haWha Valley. The suggestion of the
national board was not favorably re-
celVed, and motion was made and
UNANIMOUSLY carried that the matter
again be presented to the board and
the consolidation of the West Virginia
ana ONO districts insisted upon.

practicable and unadvisable. The Ka-

ehu OF the State and the two sections
"ouiu pc SO widely separated that it
mouId De impossible in case of anv diff
nculty with the local operators to get
aio from that district Another obiec-
tlon MADE against the union with the

ne miners here are strong in their
determnation to consolidate with
ONO, Tor they realize that by doing SO
they would be greatly strengthened.
and be In better condition to compeI
the operators Of this district to paw
the general scale price, which thew al
lege has not been done. The local or
ganlzation has had trouble with sew
efal mines about the screens in use and
have not been able to secure any uni
tormIty in the size of the screens The
miners have been trying to get the
local operators to adopt the u inch
screen, as used in Ohio, but so far have
not accomplished their purpose. They
allege that if the Ohio screens were
used here it would mean an advance
Of l6 and II cents ton. They state
that, for example, the screens at the
Gilchrist mines are rs inches, and at
Glendale ] 7-16 inches
This and other matters they hope to
regulate by uniting with the Ohio or
ganlzatlon. In addition to this in
case Of any dispute between operators
and miners here the assistance Of Sec

be secured The Ohio people are ready
to take them in and they are determin-
ed that this will be their only course.

Accident.

Justice Of the Peace John Wilson met
with a painful accident last Monday. the
results Of which may keep him confined
In doors for some time. He was sitting In
his wagon allowing his horse 70 drink 81
the trough In front Of the Bureau Hotel.
when the horse, becoming suddenly
frightened. made . quick swerve and
dashed down the street. The judge, in
attempting 70 control the animal, pulled
him in towards the sidewalk. and the
wheels OF the wagon struck one Of the
awning posts In front Of the Postofice and
caused the vehicle 70 turn over complete
ly, throwing the judge violently 70 the
ground, and the wonder is that he was
not instantly killed. he was taken into
McKim's and on examination by DR..
Samuels 10 WAS found that no bones we're
broken. but he was badly shaken up gen
orally. having fallen on his right hip,
which was severely wrenohed and bruised,
and his right eye had an ugly gssh, bu'
otherwise his injuries were slight. Res
and care will bring him out All right.
