A wild Train.

There was a costly freight wreck on the
Pittsburg division of the B. & O. near
Hyndman Monday night. Three helpers
were waiting at rhe foot of the Sand
Patch grade going out to pull into the
siding. An east bound freight while COM
ing down the grade got beyond control
and rushed down the mountain and
plunged into the outgoing freight as ii
was entering the siding
With the runaway train was an engine
being transferred to the Southern Pacific
road, making SIX engines in all that were
piled up together with number of box
cars. John Adams in charge of the South
ern Pacific engine was asleep in the cab
OF his engine at the time OF the accident,
and was thrown through the window. He
was only slightly hurt. The other train
men made thrilling escapes for their lives
and escaped uninjured.

New Appointment.

In the new apportionmeut of the State
by the next Legislature it seems to be a
Republican contemplation to add Hamp-
shire county to this Senatorial and Judi
cial district. Of course. the district would
then be hopelessly Democratic, with the
majoritles of Jefferson and Hampshire
against the narrow majorities of Berkeley
and Morgan, but the Senatorial district OF
which Hampshire is now factor would,
on the other hand, be hopelessly Repub-
lican. The lines of the Seventh Delegate
district will also be rerun. Morgan will
be given delegate Of her own, upon
which basis Berkeley would have two; and
Jefferson and Morgan would constitute a
Delegate district. or Berkeley and Nor
gan would constitute Delegate district,
with three delegates. one from each coun.
ty, and one district delegate. Under this
arrangement Jefferson would likely have
but one.

New Confectionery Store.

ALTON. Queen street this morning
was opened up a new confectionery store
which gives every appearance of becom-
ing one OF the leading stores of that kind
in the city. The proprietor is w. r.
Caskey, young man who has had con-
siderable experience in that line and who
will cater 10 the wants of the public in a
manner that will gain for him a large
share of patronage
Mr. Caskey served about four years
with the Oldest bakery establishment ia
the city, that of Mrs. b. c. Quenzel. Al
ter obtaining thorough knowledge of the
business with that establishment, he and
his brother, c. Z. Caskey. started into
business for themselves on Z. Burke
street, under the firm name OF Caskey
Bros, and have conducted the business
most successfully for three years. The
Messrs Caskeys recently dissolved part
nership, the latter keeping the old stand,
the former opening up a new store at IIo
N. Queen street. The new store room is
attractvely fitted up with all the modern
improvements and is stocked with every
thing up-to-date in the confectionery line

Sensational. Reports About the B. s O.

For some time it has been in the air
that the b. & O. is to be absorbed by the
Pennsylvania railroad company and lately
some things have occurred to give some
color to all this.
The proposal to increase the stock OF
the Pennsylvania railway company from
1851, 700 900 to S2oI 700 900, clean
shoot of $4,000. 900, is startling the rail-
way world for we'll informed railway men
firmly believe that it presages some big
developments in another year. There is
every reason to believe that the interests
now dominating the Vanderbilt properties
operating through the Pennsylvania will
soon control all of the important lines
south of recognized Vanderbilt territory.
including the Baltimore * Ohio railway
and that by taking in the Erie railway the
entire east and middle west will be COM
pletely governed. That the next few
months will produce such results is the
confident belief of persons competent to
express an opinion in regard to the mat
ter.
In connection with the Pennsylvania
reported increase of stock and the ac-
tlvlty on the part of the Vanderbilt inter-
SITS comes the announcement that negO-
tiations which have been conducted by
Joseph Fl. Seaman, IT'S vice president, and
secretary-reasurer, have eliminated in the
trans fer of the Cincinnati Northern TO the
Vanderbilt; column and will probably be
made part OF the Big Four system.
In B. & . circles the developments of
the next few months will be awaited with
much interests. Several weeks ago il was
reported that b. * O. securities were be-
ing gradually taken up by syndicate OF
New York capitalists whose interests are
Identical with those OF the Pennsylvania
in this field. The control of the b. & 0.
would be most important railway de-
velopment to West Virginia, especially to
the great coal producing concerns of the
State. Its effort would be a matter OF the
utmost concern. 1t would be unjust to
anticipate measures OF an injurious char
acter to the shipping facilities Of West
Virginia, but in view of the fact that
there would be practically no competing
roads OF importance were such deal TO
be made, the situation would be rather an
unusual one and highly interesting.

rliIe a Minute.

According to the Harrisburg Telegraph
there may be seen on the. Cumberland
Valley Railroad soon some mile-a-m minute
trains.N The Telegraph says the recent
fast run of 1.-THE train bearing President
Cassett and other Pennsylvania Railroad
officials through the Cumberland Valley
was for the purpose Of determining
whether the roadbed would stand the test
of high rate of speed. The argument is
made that as the Pennsylvania Railroad
would like closer relations with Southern
roads" there may be some fast runs over
the Cumberland Valley to effect closer
connection.

A Milk Trust.

All of the dairyman delivering milk by
wagons in Martinsburg announced to
their customers Monday morning that the
price of milk would hereafter be six cents
quart and that they would be compelled
to sell it at that price. and nothing less,
under pain of paying forfeit to the
milk trust.
All Of the dealers running wagons in
the city. nine in all, have formed a regular
milk trust" which as long as its lasts,
will control the price of milk in the city.
The first dealer who breaks the law laid
down by the trust is, by agreement,
bound to pay forfeit to the trust"
Almost all the dealers have heretofore
been selling milk at 5 cents per quart.
The milk dealers forned like trust last
winter, but after two DAYS trial the
agreement was broken by one OF them
and the trust fell through, 1t remains to
be seen how long it will last this time.
If the octopus proves of stronger power
this time, the suggestion is advanced that
license be imposed upon the dairyman
from the county who come inside corpo-
ration limits and sell their milk. Also that
some OF the revenue thus received be
appropriated toward paying a health Of
fcerto examine milk for the purpose of
finding if it is pure and contains no disease
germs.

The c. v. X. r. Loses.

The suit of Cooper Bros, wholesale
grocers, Of Winchester, Va, against the
Cumberland Valley Railroad ompany,
was taken up before the Circuit Court in
Hagerstown Md, Wednesday. Suit was
brought for the non delivery of tankcar
of coal oil purchased by Cooper Bros, of
the Waverly Oil Company, independent
rehners, of Pittsburg, Pa, and ordered
shipped to Hagerstown, Cooper Bros. hav-
ing previously sold the oil for 9 cents a
gallon to the merchants there. The tank
car of oil was switched off on a siding in
the northern suburbs. Previous tankcars
had been delivered to Cooper Bros. within
the city limits. They refused to accept
this last tankcar of oil, which was finally
sold by the railroad who contended they
delivered the oil where it was ordered, they
offered to send the oil to Winchester, or any
point on the road, that they offered to pay
Cooper Bros. for the oil and that town
ordinance prohibits the storing of oil in
quantities within the city limits. Cooper
Bros. contend the Standard Oil Company
brought pressure on the railroad COM
pany because the plaintiffs handled inde-
pendent oil and sold it lower price than
the Standards oil, and also that the then
city attorney for Hagerstown is also the
attorney for the Standard Oil Company.
President T. b. Kennedy, Of the rail-
road company. was present at the trial,
and testified. AS the case progressed the
defendant signiied its willingness to settle
and the jury was instructed to bring in a
verdict for the plaintiff for $4,000, full
amount 0f GamaUec asked for
