P1rrsBURG AND WESTERN.

The Pittsburg and Western Railroad will soon
pass to the Baltimore and Ohio. The Pittsburg
and Western is in the hands of a receiver, and as
the Baltimore and Ohio owns majority of the first
mortgage bonds all that is for legal pos
session is a foreclosure of the Pttsburg and West
ern's second mortgage. This may be accomplished
in sixty days The Baltimore and Ohio will make
extensive changes IN the Pittsburg and western.
Grades will be cut down and tunnels will be abol-
is1ed Changes also will be made that the line
will be shortened.

A Shocking Affair.

Early last Thursday morning the
body OF a man was found at the Ann Ar.
Dor crossing at Shepherd, crushed and
mangled so that there was very little re.
semblance TO human being left The
body was entirely nude, the torn rem
nants Of what had once clothed living
man, being few rods south Of where the
body was found, and in a pocket, OF what
had once been a coat, was found a letter
addressed to Clarence Dibble, Mt Pleas
ant. IL was known that family by the
name Of Dibble resided about half way
between Shepherd and Mt Pleasant and
a messenger was Immediately dispatched
TO their house where il was learned that
their son, Clarence Dibble, had been at
tending the Normal school In Mt Pleas.
ant and had been in the habit of oc.
casionally boarding freight train, and
riding as far as the crossing near their
house and jumping off while the train
was In motion, but he did not come
home that night and upon telephoning
Mt. Pleasant, it was learned that he had
intended to do So 1t is supposed that the
young man caught onto the freight, and
when the crossing was reached, the
speed was too great and he rode as far as
Shepherd before he attempted to Jump,
with the result that he was caught in
some manner and dragged under the
wheels. He was a young man about
twenty years old.

Barely ESCAPED With Their Lives.

We clip the following from the Mar
ion Dispatch Of last week for the benefit
Of oor readers who are acquainted with
Mr.. and Mrs. Thornton and sympathize
with them in their recent loss
About two O'Clock last Friday morn
ing G.. l.. Thornton awoke to find the
whole upper part Of his building in
flames He aroused the other members
OF the household and they barely es-
capped with their lives Mr. Thornton
secured his trousers and large fur over
coat and some smaller articles of cloth
ing bat Mrs. Thornton and some others
escaped only in their night clothes An
alarm OF fire was Immediately sounded
and willing hands were soon ready TO
do what they could. BY the time help
arrived the lower story was also a mass
Of flames and practically nothing was
saved. Fortunately there was no wind
and the surrounding buildings were
easily saved. Nothing is defni tely
known as to the origin of the fire. 1t
has been rumored that it was the work
OF iucendaries, but Of this there is no
certainty
Mr.. Thornton places his loss at $1,000
with 81, 700 insurance. When he came
here he had but little capital and has
made all he had here. During his bust
ness career at this place he has made
some enemies (as hustling man wil)
bat IL hardly seems possible TO Us that
Marion has any person so depraved as 10
set fire TO his buildings TO get revenge
for some real or fancied wrong.
Mr.. Thornton is yet undecided as to
whether he will rebuild or go TO some
other town
The safe was opened Tuesday and the
books and papers were found TO be bad.
