The extreme cold weather the past
several days has besl the worst ever
experienced by railroad men. On the
s. & o. main line between Grafton and
Cumberland the cold was felt worse
than any other place, and the engineers
were unable to haul trains on schedule
time. Many times the injectors on the
locomotives failed to work properly,
which caused the engine to be brought
to a standstill and there they remained
until steam could be generated. At
many of the shops at the terminals Of
The different divisions, everything was
frozen up and the men were unable to
have the locomotives ready when they
were ordered. Gut on the road no
trains were allowed to try to make up
lost time, for the reason that broken
rails were found in many places, thus
making it much more dangerous.
Then, too, the telegraph wires were
in bad shape and operators had to use
one wire for all the work, where they
had a dozen before. The linemen were
put to work repairing this damage,
but they could not accomplish mucn
for the reason that the wires snapped
at all points along the line just like
(they were made of some soft substance.
The crews sufferd terribly, and the
Door brakeman, who had to be out on
top of a string of freight cars, just
managed to keep alive, and that's all.
The Moundsville street car line was
also affected, and in many cases the
men could not make the trip from Ben
wood to Moundsville in less than an
hour and a half, and many times it
was over two hours. Yesterday, how
ever. the line was in better working
order and the cars ran nearly on sched-
ule time.
The cold snap had its effect on the
freight traffic, and no trains outside OF
what could not be abandoned were run.
Things were tied up on the connecting
lines, which made it much easier on
the men in this vicinity. Saturday,
however, hardly any passenger trains
were anyways near on time, but to-day
the officials of the roads are of the
opinion that all trains will be running
regularly.

LOW RATES

The average passenger rate in Rus
STA under the tariff recently introduced
is, we think, the lowest in Europe. In
1895 it was 0.65 cent per passenger
mile; but as one-tenth of the passen-
gers were carried free, this does not
represent the average fare of paying
passengers. If the average journey of
the non-paying was the same as that
of the paying passengers, the average
rate of the latter was 0.73 cent per mile,
which is certainly very low. The aver
age journey was rs miles, which is

only in respect of territory, but also of
national expenditure. The prospect
that the River and Harbor bill will
reach an enormous total of s45, 000,0 900,
sum far in excess of the total of any
previous measure of this character,
does not appal Senator Elkins. He
declares that the money will be distri-
buted throughout the country and do
good. Neither does he view the posi-
bility of bond issue as an evil, but
says that the United States is big
enough and resourceful enough to
meet even bond issue without alarm.

B. & O. ROD AND GUN CLUB.


Saturday evening the members Of
the B. G 0. McMechen Rod and Gun
Club held a meeting in the Mayors Of
flee at McMechen and effected reor-
ganization for this year. Charles Ken
1Ney, the we'll known freight conductor,
was made captain, which, by the way,
MARBLE was made president. w. F.
Reese was selected as treasurer, and
the smaller offices went to the other
members of the organization. This
club has been in existence several years
and each season generally camps out
for quite a length Of time, enjoying
the hunting and fishing. They have
been to the mountains on one or two
occasions, but this year they are
booked to camp on Middle Island
where they have already been granted
permission to hunt over 10000 acres
of land. The fishing also is reported
as being excellent there in the summer,
and the boys will take advantage of
this fact. The club is made up of near,
iy all railroad men, but each year they
have a physician accompany them for
fear that they may not be able to at
tend to the snake-bites that may
trouble them when so far away from
home. The date for camping this year
has not been set but will be at later
meeting of the members.
