thence rode in the motor boat to
Parkersburg, where the messages
were turned over for local delivery
to the Western Union manager
there. He returned to lclarksburg

Parkersburgers were oyerjoyed to
receive the messages and Mr.. Thomp-
son was highly praised and thanked
for his enterprise in delivering them.
He says the flood conditions in Par
kersburg are terrible, the entire
business section there being flooded
up to Sixth and Market streets. The
property loss will be millions.

CAR IS GONE AND
MATINEE IS OFF
Baggage Of the Newlyweds
Company is Taken Away
by Mistake.

The adage that troubles never
come singly is fully believed by the
theatrical company billed for an en-
gagement here in The Newlyweds
and Their Baby" The company is
about as badly stranded here as it
was by the surging waters of the Ohio
river at Ironton, o., as by mistake its
baggage car, containing all its seen
cry and costumes, was attached to a
train and carried out of Clarksburg
Sunday night or early Monday morn
ing by somebody's mistake.
After rapid fire telegraph work at
the local sailroad station the wander
ing baggage car was finally located
in the Fairmont yards and it was or
dered sent back to Clarksburg at
once. Promise was given that the car
would arrive here at 2 O'clock in the
afternoon, but the manager of the
company did not want to take any
chances on that promise, so he called
of the matinee performance scheduled
for 1880 %clock in the afternoon,
There is every assurance, however,
that the car wifi arrive in time so that
the company can give its night per-
Torrance.
The company is considerably put
out by the cancellation of its after
noon performance. The management
had gone to great expense and trouble
to get out of the flooded Ohio valley
and come to Clarksburg on a special
train by way of Charleston, and, Of
couse. it needed all the loose change
1T could garner by matinee as well as
other performances.
1t is stated that suit will be entered
against the railroad company pro
