Attempts to Leave this World by the
Poison Route, But Does Not Succeed

Attempts to Leave this World by the
Poison Route, But Does Not Succeed.
1t usually takes but one suicide in this
vicinity to bring out another one.
Wheeling and vicinity is noted for those
eccentric individuals who do not nnd
life sweet enough, in some respects to
wish to remain in this fair world as long
as possible. Yesterday the papers con-
tanned a report Of the suicide OF md
die aged woman, and this morning the
pedestrian force have an attempted sui
eide OH hand, hut in this case the woman
is young-barely more than ehiid.
The circumstances are these:
About 10 O'Clock p. NJ 1.-The reportorial
force were notified that on the pike west
OF Bridgeport could be found young girl
OF sixteen winters and seventeen sum.
ners, who had attempted to leave the
vail OF tears and was succeeding very
well.
In lew moments q reporter was on
the road and finding the locality, ascer-
tanned that it was Oracle Smith, a seven
teen year old daughter OF William
Smith. who is employed as q miller
in Smiths Touring mill, and
bears a good reputation. 1t
appears that Miss Grace about o'clock
took teaspoontul and half OF bed bug
poison, which rapidly began telling on
her. She got sick and told one OF the
family what she had done. The fact be-
ing ont, DR.. Cook was hastily sent for
and succeeded in getting the poison
away from the girl, that had been swal-
lowed, and that being accomplished she
rapidly recovered.
She was not inclined to talk much,
but intimated she had not been rightly
treated and avowed her intention OF re-
peating the operation al the first oppor-
tunity.
Her father said she was good girl and
he had always gotten along nicely with
her. Her mother he said had had occa.
sion to correct her once or twice and
the girl, who has quick temper, had
gotten mad and taken poison, He also
claimed that the neighbors had ere
ated bad feeling between the girl and
her mother, something they had no bus.
mess TO do. His theory was, that it was
merely the crszy freak OF a Young girl.
The neighbors OF course limited darkly
and numerous stories were attoat, none
Of which appear to have any foundation.
She is the oldest OF family Of five
and has been helping her mother at
home.

RAILROAD RACKEM.
The B. & o. aud the p. W. &Ky -Yester-
days Confab.

Matters were rather lively ard spirit.
ed in railroad circles yesterday. Chief
Engineer Becker OF the p. G. 4 st. L.,
was here, and in company with General
Agent Belleville, met Capt. Devries, OF
the B. & O., also Col. Randolph, the
Chief Engineer, Col. Boyd and Capt.
Clement, also OF the road. Sew.
eral Councilmep were also present.
The matter to be discussed was the
disputed ground south OF the b. 4 U.
depot and wanted by the p, w. < ky.,
to run q track to Benwood. The history
OF the case and its present status in the
United States Courts is known to every
intelligent reader OF the daily press and
it is not at the present time necessary 10
further explain what has been done.
Time only is afforded to briefly record
what was done Yesterday.
The B. * o claims to want the room
west oil the present track from the de.
pot to the Nail City boat house for an
entire side track. This is the ground
that the I. W. & Ky. wants and that il
procured from the city and that now is
in litigation. The B. 4 o. wants the p.
W. * Ky. to go to the west side Of the
Riverside warehouse which would neces-
state much more trestling than
was at first contemplated and
Of course would be more
expensive. 1t would also necessitate
the dismissal OF the present suits and
the opening OF new ones; one against
the Riverside Company, through a lot OF
whose the road was run: suit would
be necessary against the T. V. road, for
the route proposed by the B. & o. would
cut off the corner OF lot lately pur.
chasedsby that company. This being
done by the p, W. & KY, the b. Il o,
would remove al! opposition. Nothing
definite was decided on.
The P. W. & Ky. is anxious to reach
Benwooe, but wants to go over the land
it claims, and is OF the opinion that it
would take as long to dispose OF the I.
V. and Riverside companies as it would
to wait for the courts to make it's deci-
sions.
It's representative said last night: The
B. 4 o. has kept US back for two years.
Labor has increased OIL us % per cent,
and We do not feel like incurrng the
expense the new route and extra trest-
Ting would amount to, when We ought
to have the old route. We agreed to
swerve out into the river after passing
the Nail City boat house and that would
give them plenty OF room for AN extra
track.
The B. & o. claim to be doing the
square and fair thing.
Another meeting will be held to-day
and the Council Railroad Committee
will attend.

THE COMING CIRCUS,

And Some Remarks About Barnum.
The great Barnum.L London show is to
exhibit here on Wednesday next, fact
that should be remembered and borne
in mind. 1t is a just claim that the
name OF the venerable and most sue.
cessful OF all managers stands high
above every other on the scroll OF honor
as successful dispenser OF public recre-
alton, and wholesome, moral and inno-
cent amusement. Compared with all
others, it is about as radiant sum
light to pale moonbeams. He
has furnished fun and education
for three generations. The gray-haired
grand parents smile as they remember
him, the middle-aged 90 about their
daily toll with lighter hearts when they
know he is approaching, and the cherub-
world grows wild with JOY as they dream
and gleefully talk OF the blessed hours
of unalloyed happiness he inyents for
them. No man, however ingenious,
could write o history Of the last
five decades without devoting
chapter to him. Rich and cherished
at home and honored abroad, he is the
ONLY true and correct representative
Snowman. He hates charlatanism, de-
tests vain boasts, the delusive pledges OF
small managers who seem to conceive
that promises are made only to be bro
ken, and abhors exaggeration in what
ever form its hydrahead appears. To
his glory and untarnished honor he
never in his life advertised feature, act
or curiosity which he did not exhibit. 1t
is to the shame OF nearly all other man.
ayers that they have done this cruel and
unfair thing TO an unsuspecting and too
credulous public, who only forgave the
offense to endure its wicked repetition.
Don't forget that Barnum is here on
the 18th, and be sure and 90 and see
him.
