Recently James Pickering was struck
by train In the yards Of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad Company at
Parkersburg and it was necessary to
amputate one of his arms. Ever since
the accident the portion OF Pickering's
arm which remained has caused him
intense pain. Railroaders who have
lost limbs in similar accidents in
formed the unfortunate man that IL
his arm which was amputated was
buried in a cramped position the pain
would never cease as long as il re-
manned cramped.
Pickering caused the dismembered
portion to be disinterred, and it was
found to be IN cramped position The
elbow being bent until both the ipjpta'
of the arm met-- x1fn afn was
Strengthened out and again buried,
and Pickering has felt no pain since.

Queer Place For yaluables.

Recently tin box containing valu-
able papers belonging to the town OF
Piedmont was found secreted between
the stills under Baltimore & Ohio
box car in Philadelphia by William
Boyce while repairing the car BY
request he sent the box to Mayor w.
M. Foulk. 1t contained among other
things uncancelled water bond cou-
pons, worth $775, that had been torn
from bonds in 1887 by the council Of
that year, being accrued interest.
The box was taken from the safe in
the council chamber early in 1898,
and two fire insurance policies on the
Opera House disappeared at the same
time 1t is believed the box was
placed under the car in the Pied
mont yard and had been travelling
around the country since secreted be-
tween two stills, the floor and body
bolster. The coupons are negotiable,
and had they fallen into some peoples
hands would have given the town
trouble.

ANOTHER TRAIN
Trip can be made to Pittsburg and
Return in One Day.

Morgantown is to have an early
train for Pittsburg which will ena-
BILE anyone who desires TO go to the
city and transact business return
ing the same day. The new train
will leave here about five forty i've
in the morning and leave the city at
five reaching here at eight thir-
ty in the evening.
The train now comes as far as
Uniontown and is known as Mum
Der One and Two. 1t is fast train
and makes very good time. The
crew will lay over night at Morgan
town.
This improvement has been wanted
for long time by people living here
and that it has been obtained just
now is due TO the efforts of DIR. l. c.
White who met the officials on Mon
day on their way through here. He
laid the case before them very strong
ly and they granted the request for
the extra train.
The train will begin to run on the
eighteenth of this month and will
run every day in the week. 1t is hoped
that large crowd will take advan
tage of the train to go to the city on
The first day to show the company
that it is appreciated.

HANGING DELAYED.


A curious hitch has occurred in the
case of Clarence johnson and Hugh
Divinney, sentenced to hang June 8,
for the murder OF Charles McLaugh-
lin, of Wheeling. The defendants
attorney Congressman Dovener, has
taken an appeal from the verdict OF
the circuit court, but is unable To
proceed with the case because his eli
ents have not enough money to pay
the stenographer for the record which
is voluminous one, costing about
$500
The stenographer has retained five
pages of the record ana will not give
them up until he gets his money.
Under the laws of this State, the date
of the execution must be postponed
until the appeal has been decided,
and consequently the case rests. The
men cannot be hanged until fall, at
any rate, for, If the circuit court de
mics the writ of error, the case will be
taken to the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals.
