For the first six . >nths many improvements were made the road from theJuuction to Elk >^nlen, a distance of 124 miles.

The balance sheet for 1882 shows $6, 811,730.10. It is the intention of the company to extend the line from the summit to Davis, near the junction of the Beaver and Blackwater, import ant tributaries of the Cheat River, a distance of six miles. This line will be easily built. Davis will be made the terminus tor the present. It promises to be the centre ot a great mining and lumberiug interest, being near the junc tion of the Heaver and Blackwater, both of which drain a tine country, and both are well adapted to floating logs. Be sides, the site selected and vicinity is underlaid with veins of coal of tbe Up per Potomac coal fields, from both of which the company expect to add largely to its business. Thf Grade or Ike Ro*d is iii favor of the trade, tha maximum being seventy-feet to the mile wbere the line crocuses the summit of the Alle Kbanies. This grade is from thirty to forty per cent, higher than that used by any of the trunk lined in crossing the A1 in:haiiy mountains. It is estimated that the proceeds from tlie sale of the bonds on hand at par and accrued interest, the price at which they have been taken, and the profits of the company during the construction, will finish and e^uip the road to the Upper Potomac coal fields. The $1, 000,OUO bonds authorized 13 be issued are secured by a mortgage on the 37,000 acres of coal, iron ore and timber lands belonging to the company, as also the road aud equipments of the company. More mines will be opened along the road and saw mills established. The iron bridge over the l'otomac with &)0 fcet spans, l>eing built by Bellman, of Baltimore, will be completed next week. The company recently had constructed 100 coal hopper-cars with a capacity of twenty tons each, upou which is used the Lippeucott patent brakes. Several passenger coaches, freight cars, three mogull engines—large pattern—and one small paswuger engine are being used. ateel Rail* cover the entire" road, fifty-six pounds over, with all the latest improvements in tlie way of joints, etc. The country is very rough but the road is now in a good condition, better by far than many even older. The scenery along the entile line is good. Colonel T. B. Davis is general manager and the construct .on is un ler the management of (.'apt. W. E. Por ter.

A BOOMING TOWN In West Virginia That Hat Out stripped Any Western Village In Its Marvellous Growth—Elk Garden, the Centre of a Great Coal Country Its Happy and Prosperous Peo ple—A Model Place. $■>]/ CorwiMindmct of the Rtjitter. Klk CtAKDKX, W. Ya., Juue 2l>.— Klb (Jarden in, the great coal fields, lo cated on a Branch of the W. V. C. & R. K., has all spruug upsiuce the opening of the road. The town has a popula tion of a ln>ut iio»>. About one hundred good house.-, have sprung up, aud a I school house and several churches are to built. Two years ago there was bu. one log house here, and in the language of an old citizen "there was nothing but tree« and rattlesnakes.'' Now starts a prosperous town, with a post oltlce, and several stores all belonging to private individuals. There is a drugstore, con fectionary, tin shop, several groceries aud meat shops. Mails daily, one each j way. The building here are of a good character, all built of frame. Tue ground is leased to the resident at a low price, and buildings put up by the company. More houses are needed and will oe erected. Nearly every family in town has several boarders, and many of the miners keep "batch," from two to eight in a batch. Thf Towa i is located ou the Alleghany mouutaiu al*>ut seveu hundred feet above the rail road and away up iu the neighborhood of twenty.six hundred feet above tide. The people have a good road and in cline plane coming up. The health of the lowu is splendid. The weather during the summer season is generally warm, but the night are cool and pleas ant. Mosquitos are never seen, a ad this is an elegant place to enjoy a good night's rest. 1 fouud it entirely different from our warm, but enterprising and beautiful, Ohio Valley. Water is abund ance, right from the mountains. It is pure, fresh and clean. In drinking it 1 wonder how our people live drinkiug the filthy, sickening, poisoning, warm water from the Ohio river. There are two physicians here and they report very little work to do. JKreadstutlsand provisions are sold^at reasonable prices and taking it all in all K1k Garden is a v.-ry desirable place to live. A miner having steady work can save money. The moral* of the town are good, aud the people are very clever aud intelli gent. i'hey are great readers. This tact is demonstrated by over a hundred copies of The RrcUtrr (•eingsold here.There are several church congregations. The Catholics are the struugest and have nearly one hundred communicants. The Methodist are next ami then the Presbyterians. The Metho dist* are the only congregation haviug a church of their own. Their place of worship is a handsome little frame budUing over at Ncthkinsvllle, one half mile distant. The other congregations are preparing to build. The finest budding in or about the town is the "Cottage," also belonging ' to the cotnpauy. This building stands about a third of a mile from the post office or mines. It was erected by the company for the use of the directors, aud is now occupied by the jovial and popular superintendent of mines, Capt. N. \S . Musgrove, aud his good wife. This famed building is generally known as the "Cottage," and Uiis is all it gets. . Persons, iu speaking of it, always call it '•The UtUc*." The building is not only the finest .hereabouts, but has no equal of its kind j in this or any other JState. It was | erected in 1SS1, at a cost of about $5,000. Neither pains nor expense were spared in its completeness. The building is | Gothic achitecture, two stories high, with ten apartments, finished with dif ferent kinds of hard wood, and there is a sprinkling of stained glass windows through the building. It is a beauty — one that Capt. Musgrove, and the com« pany as well, should feel proud of. Thelocation is good. The building stands five milesfrem the Northwestern turnpike. 1,500 feet aoove the railroad, and 2,«2o feet above tide water, or only So feet lower that Deer Park. It is lo cated in a large spacious lot, and com mands one or the finest views in the country. If there is anything pictur esque this certaiuly is. Standing on the north porch, the new railroad an J Th« Beaatifal P«t»aM can each be seen forming a perfect horse shoe, w th the tall mountains thick with trees and shrubbery or either side, and with the shores mirrored in the ragiug water*. For miies the rnoua tains are dotted with large farms and fcouaca, and below a train to seen de scending the road two mile* distant. Directly it begins turning the curve, and afterwards begins ascending on it? way. Still later itis seen dtoappearing around another curve over two miles distant. Though nearly 2,000 feet dis tant, the water14 seen rushing along venr rapidly. The scene is grand and imposing in the extreme. It is well wortn trans forming onto canvass, if au artist could be found to execute the work. The scene is folly equal, if not quite up to anything in the United States. The cool, pleasant atmosphere, fragrant with flowers, berries or shrubs, coming from the north, is grand. What nicer place could one expect? Fish and game is plentiful right here, or within a short distance. They have good trouting, wild turkey, bear, deer, etc. I noticed A Fine. Large Bear in the woods while here, and if I had been closer I don't know whether I would have taken to a tree or made for the "Cottage."" While out riding on Sunday, I suggested the propriety of catching a young cub to send home. " You can hold the old bear while I get the cub." remarked ray friend. I thought this pretty good, and thought 1 would prefer doing the latter. While at Elk Garden I enjoyed the hospitality of ('apt- Musgrove and wife, to whom I am uuder a thousand obli gations; also to Mr. J. A. Nethkins and others for favors rendered. TbeCaal Siam here deserve more than a passing no tice. These mines employ about 450 bands. There are three of them; one, two and three. No. 1 is the big one. It was opened in January, 1SS2, and now turns out about 100 tons of flne coal per Hour. The 12-foot vein is being worked, and the mining is under the Fennel! system, with five right and Ave left headings. No. 2 is a half mile distant, and employs about 100 hands. No. 3 is about one-half the distance, and is just being opened. This one, wheu opened, will increase the force of miuers consid erably. Planes are used for shipping | the coal to the railroad below. There | are two of them. Plane No. 1 is 2,300 I feet long, angle 3o, and plane No. 2 is 1,500 feet long. A lirst class little loco motive, "No. 2 W., V., C. <Sc P. It. K.," of2t-borse power, and hauling ffty cars, is used for hauling the cars from the head of the planes to the works. ! There being fjuite a fall, the cars are ruD from the mines to the planes * ith out assistance, save a brakeman. All the timber used in the mines is brought out of the woods here, and prepared at the company's saw mill, also here. These mines are well ailupted for the convenience of the miners and profit of the company, with _ in all departments, ('apt. N. \V. Mus grave is general superintendent of the different mine'". Mr. Wm. liyars has charge of Nos. 1 ami 2, and Mr. I. Kenton b&s charge of No. 3. These mines are now shipping to nearly ever point west of the Ohio river. At Naudusky, Obio arrange ments have been made for the building of coal lines to ship from there to many different points. These mines are now among the largest and best In the coun try, a fact over which West Virginia should feel proud. Ethkensville, a town of 200 inhabi tants with a fine M. E. Church and a school house with an enroll* ment of 200 scholars, has all prung up since the building of the new road and the introduction of the above mines. This town is named afttr Mr. Jao. A. EthkluM, a wealthy farmer, stock dealer aud mer chant there, and is loca'.ed within a half mile of Elk Garden. There are twenty or thirty houses here, with pros pects of the immediate erection of as many more. The whole place belongs to Mr. Etbkins, after whom the town is named, lie is the ouly merchant here, and has a fine trade. His salesaverage about 52,000 pc-r month, all cash. He expects to erect a town hall, a tin shop and shoe shop. This would be a good jK)int for a jeweler. The towu has a good brass band vith twelve pieces. Mr. Ethkiii is president, in honor of whom the organization is named. This i* a fine farming and gruzi-ig county. Last year Mr. Etbkins raised !sJ3 worth of grass to the acr?. Good roads to the different points. J. w. C.

THE WAGE WORKERS. The Industrial lateJIigrace of the Past Waek IN THIS VICINITY AND AT LARGE. Notes Concerning the Iron Men, Coal Miners, Cigar Makers, Glass Blowers, Railroad Men, Etc.. Etc. CITY INDUSTRIAL NOTES. At the meeting of the Western Nail Association at Piltsbu.g last week, ow ing to all the nail mills not being pro perly represented, no definite Action could be taken in regard to the stop page of the milte. The question of stopping on the first of July wae argued at length and they finally decided not to stop until the loth of July, and not then if the mills tbit were not repre sented at the meeting would not agree to a stoppage. Friday is pay day at the La Belie mill. A lot of new furnaces are being built at the /Ktna. Next Saturday is pay day at the Riverside mill. The Martin's Ferry stove works have shut down for a week. Geo. Downey, a nail feeder at the Belmont mill, is on the sick list. JoeRenolds, a nail feeder at the Bel mont, was off sick last week. The carpenters at the B. & O. railroad shops have completed seven new freight cars. A l>oat load of stove wood was being unloaded at the Belmont mill yester day. Geo. Miller,the North End tin roofer, is very busily engaged at his special ity Tiie new turning lathe at the Bel mont mill was iu full operation yester day. Peter Smith, of the Belmont mill blacksmith shop, is again at his post of duty. A car load of new grind stones were received at the Belmont mill this week. The Riverside nail works ceased work Friday eveniug for this week, owing to the scarcity of nail plate on hand. Yesterday the Riverside mill man agers were engaged iu takiug stock. The mill will start up as usual, to-mor row morning. The Centre foundry is very uusny en gaged in maklnw new nail machines lor Western mills and casting the fur nace plates for the Brilliant rolling mill. Yesterday twenty tons of furnace plates were shipped to the .Brilliant roll ing mill by the Centre foundry. A rumor reached this city yesterday that the Canton, O., glass works would not cease work on the 1st of July, as ordered by the glass workers, but would continue to work, regardless of the ac tion of the workmen's association. We were unable to glean any information from a reliable source in regard to the above, and can only give it to the pub lic as a rumor. Since that time all the mills not rep resented at the meetiughave signified their intention to stop on the loth of July, at which time all of the mills will close down, but for what length of time a Register reporter could not ascer tain last evening, but was given to un derstand that the length of the stop page would be settled at the meeting of the association, which takes place on July 11, at Pittsburgh. The work of building new freight cars at the B. & O. railroad shops is be-" ing pushed along as rapidly as possible. A new patent lathe for dressing rolls has been invented by Jos. Heybold, of the Belmont mill. Tnis invention dresses the rolls while they are in the "housen." Yesterday afternoon the work of tak. ing stock was commenced at the Bel mont mill. The official informed a Kkoistkk reporter that they would have the work completed in time to start the mill and factory to-morrow morning. One hundred and live tons of pig metal Was received at the Belmout mill oft the steamer St. Lawrence, Fri day. Everything is working along smooth ly at the B. <.V O. railroad shops. If the construction of the new round-house would be commenced this month, it would liven up the men employed at these works. Mr. Frank G. lli/.er, of the Crescent mill, has resigned his position as roller and accepted a position at the heating furnace. llolliday's planing mill is doing a big business. Among tue number of orders now being tilled by this tiroi is one for the material for seven cottages at the Moundsville camp meeting grounds. The worK oil lue new auuiuon 10 i Bodley Bros.' wagou factory ban beeu greatly deterred this week, owing to the extreme wet weather. Should they have anything like fain weather the work of laying the foundation will be finished in two or three weeks. Bodley Bro.'s wagou factory is doing a rushing business. They are shipping wagons to the South nearly every week. Redman A Co.'s machine shops are busily engaged in dressing nail ma chines for Western mills, liutstill this firm have a suffleieut number 6f work men to till other orders promptly. The cause of the scarcity of nail plate at the Riverside mill this week, is owing to the heaters only working six heats to the turn. They make eight heats to the turn when making full time. The Belmont mill foundry was busily engaged yesterday castfug iron for the heating furnaces. Five barge loads of lime stone have been received at the Belmont blast fur nace this week. The Jennie Campbell will bring up three barges of iron ore for the Belmont mill this trip. The Belmont blast furnace is in need of repairs to the top of their furnace, which work will be commeuced as soon as the furnace can be filled up so that the brick masons can work on the inside without having to goto the ex pense of building a scaffold. This week, the Upper Riverside forge department was working single turn, six heats to the turn. Next week this department will work double, full time. From what could l>e learned yester day, only one day will be taken next week for" a holiday. John R. Browning, amolder, left yes terday to join the Lulipse fishing club at Clarington. All tne moiders at Sweeney A Son's works were busily engaged this week and expect to continue working steadily next week. R. V. Arkle, the South E id tiner, has plenty of work on hand, and • re ports that tin roofs are fast taking the place of shingles. Hobbs, Brockunier A Co.'s glaw work* closed at noon yesterday for a period of six weeks. Of course,severa 1 of the departments outside of the factory proper, will work off and on, during the stoppage. 1 bis week, a large force of men have been busily engaged, putting up the timber and shafting for the sixteen ad ditional Bail machines at the La B-lle mill. Several of tne nail machines were put in place this week and by the J latter part of next week, the majority of them will be ready to run. John Krown, a molder of the North End. left for Clarington yesterday to j >in the Little Eclipse flshiug club, which is stationed ene mile north of that towr.. Cox A Morrison, boiler 10aVcers.are, as usual doing a g>">«d b<ttln«4*. Nothing of spsoW mention was transacted in their line this week. The workmen are very busily 3ngag ed this week, repairing the machinery at the Wheeling Pottery. This Arm expects to start up again on the 19th inst. H. C. Hart man, a cabinet maker at the Riverside furniture factory, left for Kansas yesterday, where he expects to start into business for himself. Wm Knoke.a prominent cabinet mak er, employed at the Riverside furniture factory, has resigned his position. The North Wheeling glass works will continue running until the 16th inst, at which time they will closedown for six weeks. Yesterday a JUxjlstrk reporter met one of the officials of this industry, and was informed that trade was very dull, prices very Jow, and a great scarcity of orders even at the re duced rates. He claimed that a stop was really necessary, if for nothing else, than to strengthen the tone of the market. There is some talk of the Top mill forge department working full time, double turn, next week if weather per mitting. Wilson & Durlevy's cooper shop* only worked four days this week. Tde cause of this establishment only work ing four days was owing to the nail foctories not making full time. Geo. Weisgerber, the oarsman, has gone back to work in the blacksmith shop at the B. & O. shops. The boys at the Belmont mill would l>e very much pleased if the manufac turers would stretch a point, and pay them off on the evening of the third of July, so that they could have pocket moiiey on the glorous Fourth. The Central glass works closed down Saturday and will not start up again until the 15th of August. BELLAIRE INDUSTRIAL NOTES. The glass house boys are off. They will now enjoy their loug expected rest. The fires in most of the factories have been drawn and silence reigns. There seems to be some difference ot opinion among manufacturers as to whether the" order of the association requiring a six weeks' stop will be obeyed by all the factories or not. It has been reported that some larger factories will contiuue to run after a short stop to make the necessary repairs and start up again as soon as possible. Our factories are await ing developments and most of ihein are willing to do as their competors do as their lactones at other points con tinue to run, the larger factories here will certainly do likewise and what ever repairing has to be done will be be gun at once and finished as soon as possible. Several fishing clubs com posed of glass workers started for down the river yesterday, and several more will leave the first of the week and all go prepared to have a very good time. me oars were urawu at mc i iimu window-glass works on Friday, an J the works are shut down. The cutters ex pert to finish by Tuesday next, ami the works will then he deserted. Albert Marshall, one of the feeders in the lleliaire nail mill, has accepted a nailer's job in the l.aughlin mill at Martins Feriy. Dubois A McCoy's planiui: mills are crowded with orders and will run stead ily all summer, stopping only long enough to make such repairs as are ab solutely necessary. Burnbill's boiler works will not shut down during the summer, but will work right along. They have just fin ished a lot of boilers for the brilliant mill, and have lots of other work on hand. Most of the cooner-shops will con tinue to run full without stop. Brick business is booming and the yards have all they can do. The Ohio Valley stove foundry will shut down this week to make some necessary repairs, after which they ex j>ect to run right along all summer. The liellaire window glaB« worlse were closed down yesterday. Their new ofllee and pot room, which they are building dowu at the works, are to bo completed during the stop. MARTIN'S FERRY INDUSTRIAL NOTES. The i^tughlin mill is off on account of a bad break iu the machinery. They are having the break repaired at Pitts burgh and will boon full again the bit ter part of the week. The factory is running as usual. A. W. Marshall, of Hellaire, has accepted a nailer's job here. The glass houses are all <|Uiet iu the city, they having closed down yester day. The Standard mill will shut down to morrow for a week's stop to make some needed repairs. The stop will only be for a week, after which it is expected that they will run right along. Mill Mai lor*. '1 he plate mill of the Birmingham, \l , roiling mill is rapidly approaching completion. Sixty-four furnace me'j employed by the Newark, N. J., zinc works have struck against a ten cents a day reduc tion. The Keystone iron works, at Reading, which have been idle for some time, have resumed work. Most of the striking helpers at the Penu iron work>, Lancaster, Pa., re sumed work without securing the in crease asked for. The Greenwood rolling mill, which has been closed since the failure of C. F. Schoener, has been leased by Daniel Shepp aud H. A. Weldy, and will be started this week. The iron and steel mills of the city have all they can possibly do at pres ent, and are running on full time. The outlook is very bright, and there is no indication of complication here, such as disturb other manufacturing centers. The assurance has l>een given the workers in Burden's mill that the wage scale shall not be disturbed, and a feel ing of conteut prevails. The full ca pacity of the works is tested by the out put now, and a market found for all the product. The consequence of this feeling of security among the army of iron workers is felt throughout the city by business men, and especially by storekeepers in the southern part of the city, whose prosperity is so closely allied with that of the mill men.—Troy, X. Y., Standard. • » Gl»u (jliileriBi*. This is the last day the glass factories will run until next September.—Labor Tribune. The St. Louis glass works are run ning one 10-pot furnace on bottles, flasks, etc. Agnew & Co., of the Hulton, Pa., glassworks, will run all summer. Tibby Bros., of Sbarpstrarg, will run two furnaces all summer. The various window glass houses of the country have drawn their fire*, and will remain idle for aboat six weeks.

It argues from a fklse basis, and is unworthy of con sideration. V HtaMf urfllMH A test coke oven will be erected at Savanna, Indian Territory, to test the coal there for coking purposes. Potomac mines, at Barton, Md., are working nearly full time, while the 8wanton mine is doing little if any thing. ^ The new mine at Justus Station, O., ia 116 feet deep, and has a vein over 6 feet in thickness. Coke sold m the Chicago market last week as low as $5 per tou for Connella* villeand $4.77 for West Virginia.

DEADLY TOY PISTOL. A Yankee Weapon of Unlimited Powers of Destruction. Krupp Gurs Eclipsed—The Small Boy's Passport to the Coroner and Undfr taJ-er—Shall it Be Allowed on the Fourth? The Fourth of July draw* near an 1 the heart of the undertaker id glad, dened. For with the Fourth comes the toy pistol, and with the toy pistol a hx>m in the undertaking business. Krupn may boast of his great guns, and Whitehead of his torpedoes, but for furnishing the coroner and under taker with steady business the toy pis tol takes the prize* There is nothing pretentious about this engine of destruction, and as a specimen of artistic workmanship it is not a success. Hut it does its work conscientiously and effectually, and distributes it- favors impartially both on the y jung person who holds it and the individual at whom it is pointed. The toy pistol reached the zenith of its fame a year ago, as the casualty lists of that period show, and during the month July it displayed remarkable industry. There were 200 toy pistol casea for tbecorooor or the doctor during last summer. In New York there were sixty-eight accidents, of which eighteen (roved fatal; in Massachusetts thirty-nine, of which twenty-six produced death; in 1'enntylvania twelve, of which ten w^retstal; in Conneetioot ten, of which five proved fatal; in NewJewey ten, of which five were fatal; la Rhode Is land four, of which three were fatal; In Maine six, of which four were fatal, a ad in Chicago sixty, of which twelve proved fatal. For a lorg time that delusive weapon, the "unloaded" gun, was regarded at the nicst deadly engine of detraction in America, and n^npl® who d»lighted in p'ayfully pointing it at each othtt nevt-r failed to kill. But the toy p'«»t ^1 has nearly driver the "ut loaded" gun out of th&fl»id ant w quoted its A 1 (1<M yeV"8i on th< I lists of Cbronel and undertaker and the life Insurant* people. Before this fngenkxs Yankee contri vance made its appearance the patriot ism of the small boy was limited to ex* ploding squibs and firecrackers. Occasionally ha rsuttml into a new Held of enterprise by Investigating the contents of gunpowder with the lighted end of a piece or punk and was instantly removed from all future essays of pa triotism. But while the vigflanoe of parents or police limited the opportunities "to fool around" a lane quantity of gunpowder, the toy pistol, hy ltsinnooent undemon strative appearance, afforded the young patroit a readier means af inflict ing injury upon himself of bis compan ions. The hammer of tbe toy pistol is ad mirably adapted for the work of de struction. Frequently it reft»es to explode the cap until the youthful patriot looks into the barrel to nee what is the matter. That is tbe toy pistol's favorite op portunity and it never fjtila to avail Itself of it. One of the most careful features of this Fourth of July plaything Is that lockjaw generally 'succeeds an appar ently trilling wound iudicted by it. In many instances the demise of the victim is attended by frightful convul sions akin ta those of hydrophobia. Fulminate of mercury forms the chief ingredient of the detonating wafer of the toy pistol, and is a fruitful cause of lockjaw. Cannot something Ih» done to stay the deadly woik of tin* diabolical inven tion. Already it has started out on the war path. A Brooklyn boy named William Graham shot himself in the left hand the other day with a toy pistol. If vigt rous measures are not adapted at once this terrible destroyer will eclijwe its record of last year. The small boy thinks that no well or ganized |>atriot should be without it. Parents persist in considering it harm less, deceived by its inyoceut looks. Manufacturers consider themselves absolved from all blame wheu they label these wea|»ous with directions for their use which are never read. The Fourth of July is near and the authorities should adapt efficient meas ures to suppress this instrument of death. By all means abolish the toy pistol. Mo more .pernicious contrivance was ever devised for the destruction of tue small boy. It is his passport to the grave. HEW AOVSff TISIMITS. "IITANTED AT ONCE THREE COMPE T t tent tinner*.
