A Very Popular Train.

A fast passenger train now in SER
vice between Pittsburg and Cincinnati
which is attracting considerable atten-
ton is the Ohio Valley Express, which
is run daily except Sunday. This ex-
press train leaves the first named city
at Z: As a. n. and reaches Cincinnati
at 1920 p. m, making only the most
important stops along the route. The
Ohio River company, which is one of
the important lines this train ~travers,
originated the new express, and SO far
it has proven a most excellent move.
Out of Pittsburg there is always a good
list of passengers, and with the trains
most excellent accommodations the pat
ronage is being increased each week.
In Wheeling Mr.. Late LIE May. the
well known city passenger and ticket
agent for the company, secures consid-
cradle business for this train to points
south. 1t is a splendid train for per-
son travelling long distances. and one
never tires of the good solid comfort
which is provided in the coaches. From
points down the river the Ohio River
company has excellent service to Pitts
burg, and the daily trains invariably
are well filled with passengers. Pas
senger business on the Ohio River road
has been remarkably good for some
time past on account of the Ohio river
being frozen over.

A prominent member and official of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, in a communication to a friend
in this city, writes very interestingly
of the condition of this great order.
Some statistics are given, and in the
facts stated they cannot fail to be of
interest to readers generally, as well
as those connected with the order and
railroads. All the railroad brother
hoods, he said, are enjoying a wonder
full prosperity. The membership of all
of them has been increased from 10 to
rs per cent. during the past two years.
The very first to feel depression are
the railroads, consequently the first to
experience prosperity. Among the
railroad brotherhoods none has adj
vanced with greater strides than the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
This organization, that had but a
few more than 10000 members on jan
uary l, 1897, now has over $4,000 mem
bers. For benefits in the loss of its
members by death and the claims for
total disability, the firemen have paid
out more than SAILS, 900 since last jan
uary. The firemen have also paid out
since the date of it's organization So
100000 in insurance. These railroad
brotherhoods seldom get into trouble
with the corporations, although it is
an universally accepted fact that non
of the railroad service men get any
thing like a fair proportion of wages
for the labor they perform, where there
is taken into consideration the fright
full danger their lives are placed in
while on duty. This is particularly
true of the firemen. On all engines,
as they are run to-day, hauling all the
freight that can possibly be pulled, and
on passenger running at concert pitch
speed, the fireman's duty is to be on
tinually on the deck of his engine
with a scoop in hand and back bent
throwing coal into the massive fire
box, and if perchance a collision is at
hand or the locomotive leaves the rails,
the fireman is the nan on the engine
who has the smallest chance to escape
the threatened death. The engineer
has a chance to get out of the cab,
but the fireman-nOt chance in a
hundred. Either a tank full of coal
and water is forcing him against the
boiler head to be burned alive, or the
huge monster is turning over with the
fireman buried underneath, and per-
haps scalded to the bone by steam
and scalding water. 1t does not seem
possible for a corporation to pay such
a man money enough for the risk he
runs. Among the members of the
Firemen's Brotherhood are men of
many professions, for it does not fol-
low that membership ceases when the
calling of an engineman does, al
though the percentage of members who
are not in the railway service is
small. To carry insurance in the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
costs a member who carries a 81 800
certificate $16 per annum. 1t costs to
carry $1,000 just $1,000 a year, and to
carry a $500 certificate Sc per year.
The firemen are to be congratulated on
the great strength and splendid stand
ing of their organization, and truly
represent rs per cent. of all the loco
motive firemen of the United States
and Canada and Mexico, into which
countries it's organization extends.

MARTINS FERRY.
Local News From the City of Work
shops and Mills.

Earl Porter, a workman at McDer-
motifs tool works, was painfully hurt
yesterday. While his fellow workmen
had come into the shop with an old
silk hat on, which o~ccasioned much
fun, one of the workmen secured the
hat, placed it under the steam ham
mer, and pulled the lever to let the
hammer down. At thesame time Por-
ter reached for his hat, the hammer
catching three of his fingers and badly
crushing them. DR.. Diven was called
and dressed the injured hand. The
doctor thought that amputation would
not be necessary. While all was done
in a joke, it prayed quite a serious II
and will lay Porter off for some days.
Now that the holidays are over, poll
itics is being talked on all sides. The
Republicans will have many candi-
dates for most all the Offices, and the
primaries will be warmly contested.
There will be two candidates for
mayor, more for marshal, four for
treasurer, a large number for street
commissioner, and such offices as coun-
Gil and member of board of education
and all minor Offices will have many
applicants. During the squabble of the
Republicans the Democrats are lying
low. The Democratic central commit
tee will have a meeting soon to get
ready for the coming campaign.
At the oil well on the Gerke farm,
on Short creek, which had such a flow
of salt water just as they were enter
ing the Berea sand, the water has been
stopped and yesterday evening they
were two screws in the sand, but no
showing of oil. The well is expected
now to be a buster. Such a flow of salt
water at this depth is said by oil men
to be very peculiar.

yet let it be far reaching and his enunci-
alton and pronunciation be distinct. so
that every word he utters be heard.
He should also be especially kind to
the children. For instance, the follow
ing would suit very nicely in calling
a train west-bound on the B. & o.:
The train for Bellaire, GAINESVILLE, New
ark, Chicago and all points west Is now
on such and such track, and will leave
in ten minutes. After a minute or so
he should again call out: IF there
are any women with children here who
wish to take the local train west they
had better start now t save all hurry
and confusion. The train leaves in a
few minutes" He should also add be
sure and get your handbags and par
GELS all together; do lot forget any

good sample for calling trains, and ii is
believed that if it is followed the tray-
cling public would be much benefited.

KYLE'S FEED DEPOT.
Remarkable Success Achieved In
Single Year.

HemdrkaDle success Achieved In .
Single Year.
C. D. Kyle engaged in the feed bust
ness and the sale OF agricultural imple-
ments at No. 1854 Market street, just
IN year ago. During that period the
trade has grown to such proportions
that Kyle's store is regarded as head
quarters for everything in his line.
Such remarkable success could not be
achieved by hustling alone. The quail
ity of hay and feed, the merit of imple-
ments for which Mr.. Kyle has the ex-
elusive local agency, were his best ad-
vertisement and proved great trade
bringers.
Mr.. Kyle is thankful for the patron
age which has been given him during
the year, and will make renewed eff
forts to merit a continuance during the
coming year. Farmers and owners OF
horses and stock generally will con-
suit their own interests by buying at
Kyle's, on Market Square.
