day morning before Squire Mason, h

taken to st. Clairsville by Constable Haze

their fine, and plainly Shove that their
desire was for a place where they would
be sure of food and clothing during the
cold weather. AS the county has no work

good evidence of the need of a workhouse.

Narrowly Escaped Drowning.

While a barge containing ore was
being unloaded on the river bank near
the Belmont mill, yesterday morning,
Il of the crew accidentally fell into
the water and had a narrow escape
from being drowned. After falling in
to the river he attempted to swim to
the bank, but owing to the strong
current at this point ut the
time. was unable to make any
Roadway. His fellow workmen
ran to his rescue and succeeded
in bringing him to the bank. He re-
ceived quite a cold bath, and one which
he will no doubt long remember. The
barge on which the man was working
was towed to the bank by the Lizzie
Townsend.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Brakeman A. Conald, of the WHEEL
ing and Lake Erie, who had two of
his fingers badly mashed at Steuben-
vile several days ago, will not be able
to report for duty until next week
some time. The injured members,
however, will not have to be ampu-
t2ted.
Sam Sherman, travelling passenger
agent of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Company, arrived home yesterday
from a trip to Canton, O.
1t is believed that all railroads en-
tering Wheeling will give a rate of one
fare for the round trip on the occas-
ion of Dewey's visit to tAis city. This
will apply to a distance of 200 miles
and likely a cent a mile will be given
military organizations who will attend
the celebration IN a body.
Late LIE May, the genial city passen-
ger agent of the Ohio River road, is
off duty this week on account of a Sc
we're Illness.
The railroads this year have made
the holiday rates a fare and a third
to all points. Tickets are to be sold
as early as December 23rd and will be
valid for return passage January End.

In the town of McMechen the regu-
lar municipal election will be held
next month. Two tickets have been
placed in the field and on each are a
number of prominent railroad employ
es. George Artz, the we'll known yard
conductor, heads one and it is claimed
by his friends that he will have q
splendid show of being elected.
The many friends of Henry Pracht,
Of McMechen, and who is employed
as a machinist in the B. & o. shops
at Grafton, will be interested to learn
that he will be married to Miss Mamie
Walters, a popular young lady of that
city, on the 18th Of this month.
Passenger business on all lines en-
tering the city is extremely dull at
present. This does not apply to the
traffic from towns near the city who
annually do their Christmas shopping
in Wheeling.
The remains of r. Bentley Booher,
formerly of the B. & o. freight Office,
were taken to Moundsville for inter
ment yesterday. Mr.. Booher was a
very popular employe and his death
was quite a shock to his many friends.
E. P. Newhali, assistant superinten-
dent Of the Pacific Express Company at
Canton, O., was in the city yesterday.
r. L. Helm, B. G. o. superintendent
CT bridges, was here yesterday.
The new time card on the Wheeling
and Lake Erie will hardly go into eff
feet before Christmas. The company
is making a very important transfer
at Navarro, O., and until that is COM
pleted no change in the schedule will
be made.
The residence Of John Cunningham,
a B. & o. man at MeMechen, was en-
tered by a sneak thief early yesterday
morning. Nothing Of much value was
taken, the robber evidently being in
search of money.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, December
1.-THE Steubenville bridge, long a
place dreaded by rivermen in coming
down the river on a coal rise, scored an
other wreck this morning, n of the
worst experienced on this part OF the
river in years and entailing a loss Of
over 100000. The James Moren tied
up at Toronto last night and while
there the captain spoke Of dreading the
passage of the Steubenville bridge.
When the boat approached the bridge
after passing the Alikanna bend, the
tow became so unwieldly that it struck
the east pier of the channel span. Al
most at once the tcw began to go to
pieces and scatter and the fact that the
boat was not damaged was due to the
crews active work in cutting the lines.
Two barges sank below the bridge,
but they turned UP and ioated on down
the river. In a few minutes the river
was dotted with coal barges and beats
drifting. One sank opposite this city
and one was beached on the Virginia
side. The John Moran tied up It's ,ow
and with the Chas. Clark, Josh Cook
and Chas. Hook started in to help tie
James Moren save the scattered feet.
The barges were run to the bank be
tween this point and Mingo as fast as
they were caught. Two more barges
sank above Mingo island. 1t Is ie-
ported that four barges instead of two
were sunk at the bridge. The Moran
boats have the part of the tow they
saved tied up opposite Mingo.
While Mate Thos. Moren was work.
ing to cut a wire cable it parted, strik-
ing him on the leg above the ankle,
breaking it. He was removed to the
Kings Daughters Hospital here.
Later in the day the upper ferry part
ed from the cable and f1oated a mile
down the river with a team on it. The
boat narrowly grazed the pier Of the
bridge in passing down.
