ENRAGED NEGRO
ASSAULTS BOY
Clifford Miller, Cherry Run, Struck In
Head BY Piece of Coal and
Rendered Unconscious.

Clifford Miller, son of Charles Mil
Ter, who lives near Cherry Run, was
hit on the back of the head yester-
day afternoon with lump of coal,
by a eolored man, with whom he was
working.
The boy was carrying water for the
men who were working on a build
ing which is being erected by Con
tractor A. l.. Sheaves, and had just
brought a bucket Of fresh water, and
because he gave the first drink to
another man, and not to the negro,
he became enraged and picked up a
piece of coal which he threw at the
boy, and knocked him to the ground,
inflieting an ugly wound about three
inches long, and cut to his skull, DR.
Warner was summoned and dressed
the wound, which was very painful
The lump OF coal weighed about a
pound. The boy was unconscious for
about 20 minutes, but last night was
doing very nicely. After the negro
who is not very well known at Cherry
Run, had thrown the coal and saw the
boy in an unconscious condition, he
became frightened and escaped to the
woods. Later warrant was sworn
out for the negro before Constable A.
J. KeeseckeT. by the boys father, and
an effort is being made TO capture the
man The boy is about IL years old.

FOR SIXTY DAYS
3. G. o. Arrsnses With Western
Maryland For Use Of Tracks
Presidents Statement.

Cumberland, Md, July l3--Arrange-
ments have been made by the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad to use the
Western Maryland tracks on the Con,
nellsville division for at least 60 days,
but all enginemen who have been pass.
ing over the new line say that it will
be three months before the big bore
through the Alleghenies viii be com,
pleted The following statement has
been issued from the Baltimore and
Ohio offices at Baltimore;
President Daniel Willard of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad stated yester-
day that it would probably take about
six weeks to clear up the slide at Sand
Patch tunnel where in connection with
the new double track tunnel a slide
of material blocked the old line tun-
nell
Meantime the company has effected
an arrangement for the use OF the
Western Maryland Railway tracks
where they parallel the B. & o. tracks
from Keystone Junction, Pa, to Cum
berland Md, and all business, both
passenger and freight, is moving with
customary schedule aud without ma
terial inconvenience or delay.
"Mr Willard stated that, owing 10
the character of material the engi-
neers had been on the watch for any
movement and at Its first indication OF
any trouble traffic has been suspended
through the tunnel and transferred TO
the Western Maryland tracks
In order t ofaciltate the operation
of trains the Western Maryland and
the Baltimore and Ohio are co-operat
tional track over the old Georges
Greek connection. The rails on this
connection we're the old 60-pound
variety and the ties were also old
and in many places rotted out Al
these are being renewed as quickly
as possible, a force of upwards OF 100
men being engaged upon the work.
In addition to this it is proposed to
erect a secondary track constructed
OF piles. The construction will be only
temporary bn. win be strong enough
- carry all the big engines Of the Bal
tinore and Ohi' The Western Mary
land has established telegraph offices
every FIVE miles along the extension
and the schedules are being carried
out on the Baltimore and Ohio.
One OF the most important questions
to be considered by the company is
the handling OF It's enormous grain
movement from the West. A large
portion of this grain will go over the
main line, but many cars will have
to be sent by way Of Pittsburg 1He
passenger traffic over the PittsDurg
division, carrying the mails into that
city is also a matter of considerable
