Apprehension at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati November 26.-There has been great apprehension here tonight over re- port about Chesapeake and Ohio passen- ger train going through the Greenbrier river bridge near Hinton, w. Va. All through wires on that line are down, and it Is impossible to reach Greenbrier river or any point near it. Messages have been sent to New York and elsewhere, but com- munication Is broken on the east and west. Many messages have been sent by those who have had friends on that road today, as It was not known what train, If any, went through the bridge, but no responses to any message has been received and mes sages are accepted only subject to delay.
 Chas. B. Ryan assistant General passen- ger agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad is here tonight, and he discredits the story entirely. He said there was very bad landslide near one of the Greenbrier river bridges, not far from White Sulphur Springs, and 1t has compelled them to trans fer passengers during the day. Owing to the highwater in the river, no attempt to transfer passengers was made tonight and two trans that left here today are now be- ing held over night at Anderson, west of White Surphur Springs and 1t Is quite likely that trains are also being held on the other side of White Sulphur Springs.
 There are three bridges on this line over Greenbrier river, and the reports do not indicate at which bridge the accident oc- cured, so that 1t Is quite likely that the reports were started because of the land slide near White Sulphur Springs, and the fact that trains that were due north, east and west of that point were not heard from on account of the wires being down. The trains arriving and departing In Cin- cinnati are on time with the exception of the eastern express, due at o'clock. It did not arrive until D. m., and did not att tempt the usual fast time

 "It Is my wish that the theatrical busi- ness of Hoyt and Mckee continue and be conducted solely by Frank Mckee, as it Is now managed, the said Frank Mckee to receive all of my share of the profits there- of as a recompense for his services, except ing such portion as Is herein-before be- queathed to Elwood M. Dasher On the death of said Frank Mckee the business shall cease"
 Residuary legatees are the Lambs Club of this city and the actors fund.
 "In making this, my will at the present time," the will concludes, T have no rela- lives nearer than cousins to be considered by me, and my cousins and distant rela- lives have never shown by any act any desire for my friendship or good will, hence l. have deemed 1t more consistent with fair dealing and justice to dispose of my prop erty to those who during my life have been my constant companions, and well Wishers, and to such charities as in my judgment are most fitting"
