After three postponements on account
of wet weather the Rough Riders, bet
ter known as "Rainmakers, got TWEEN
ty-two local riders away last evening in
their first annual fourteen-mile road
race. Clohan, a Y. M. c. A. wonder, who
was being tipped off as being such a
speed wagon and a winner, was the
only scratch out of the original twenty
three entries. A light rainfall in the
afternoon laid the dust on the pike, put
ting the road in the very best of con-
dition for making good time.
The course was from Eoff, east on Fiji
teenth to McColloch, to Baker, to Ma
tional road, to 7mile post, returning
to finish on Fifteenth street at Jacob.
A large crowd Of spectators congre
gated at the starting point to witness
the start. The number was increased
as the time for the finish drew near.
The square on which the finish was
made the pavement on each side was
wired at the curb and squad of police
was on duty to keep back the crowd,
but as usual the riders finished in a
narrow alley between crowds of people.
There was only one bad fall in the
race. Pickett spilled hard on Chicken

and Nicholl,. two three-minute men,
who finished second and third respect
lively, also did good riding. The men
with the large handicaps wore them
selves out at the start. All were gone
at Reeds hill on the way out. A larger
number of the riders were all punched
at the turn.
The time was the best ever made
over the course by a good minute. Nc
Granular and Salade are tied for the
time prize. Complaint was made to
the refereee after the race against
Salade. 1t is charged that he was given
assistance while climbing Chicken

THEY CLAIMED TO BE MERELY
ON AN INSPECTION TRIP. AND
NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION
WAS GIVEN OUT-THE PERSON
MEL OF THE PARTY

YESTERDAY prominent party o.
Baltimore & Ohio officials. namely,
Daniel Willeard, general manager Of
maintenance of way departments,
Thomas Fitzgerald, general superin-
tendent; George H. Campbell, his as
sistant; f. A. Hustled. superintendent
of the Third. Fourth and Fifth diyis-
ions; Harvey Middleton, superintendent
of motive power. and David Lee. an
other official, were in the city. These
officials were here merely on an in
spection trip, and while they were all
around in this locality, no information
in regard to any future plans were
given out The party came here from
the west, they having been out as far
as Chicago. All stations, and in fact,
all property owned By the company. Is
being gone over, and a report will be
made at headquarters. In this city
officers visited the freight depot as
well as the passenger, they were al
the Terminal station. and in fact, all
over this part of the territory. at
BenwOod the same nature OF a visit was
made, but it was not stated whether
any improvements would be made. The
officials are evidently making the trip
with view OF getting the lay of every
thing, SO that when they are ready the
improvements can be made at once.
The party left Benwood shortly before
the noon hour. however. The three
private cars were attached and made up
a special train, leaving for the east.
AT Moundsville and all other towns on
the Fourth division the train was
stopped in order for the party to make
their investigations.

NEW TWEERS INSERTED
To Fuse h. Upper Stratum of Metal at Top
Mill Furnace.

Mill Furnace.
The seriousness of the accident at
the Top mill furnace, as exclusively
chronicled in yesterday mornings
Register, was not over-estimated The
metal in the cupola has been so bad
ly chilled that it is a question if the
furnace will not have to be allowed to
cool in order to free it from the Stag
and metal that has passed from a
molten to semi-solid condition in
the bottom of the cupola. Yesterday
Mich. Reister, of the Belmont furnace,
was upon the ground all day, and all
the science and devices known to the
business were exercised in an effort
to remedy the condition. Additional
tweers were inserted above the usual
point of delivering the blast for the
purpose of melting the upper stratum
of the mass, and last night there was
still some hope of the remedy being
fruitful of good results. If the metal
is chilled beyond reclaim, it will have
to be blown out with dynamite and
the expense, together with the loss
occasioned by the idleness Of the
plant, will be enormous.
1t is stated by an experienced fur
mace man that if the present efforts to
right the condition are not successful
it will be three months before the
works can again be running iron. 1t
