It references Goepd at home, Wall Street optimism, and a faltering peach crop, then shifts to a lengthy critique of public morals, marriage volatility, and feminine labor. It delves into sensational divorce cases, white slavery fears, and a fleeting commentary on crime.

Natural Gas Work to Start at Once in Clarksburg
March 29 report details preparations by the Natural Gas Company to commence work at the old well in Clarksburg’s West End.

Gas earlier reached 89 and water rose, prompting hopes the new gas venture will lower prices and rival the Wheeling market. The piece also notes depot location debates for the railroad and social events, plus local notable returns and court timing.
