THE SLEEP OF EAT

jefferson Purdelbaush Lies Down to
sleep on the Railroad Track and Never
Wakeps.
Early yesterday morning as Robert
Smith, a third hand at the Benwood
mill, was returning to his home from
work, he stumbled over a human form
lying PROSTATE upon the track, and a
moments examination showed him that
the mutilated body was that OF jeff
Purdelbaugh, a heaters helper in the
same mill in which he himself worked.
Horri6ed at his discovery, he summoned
assistance and procured a lamp, when
it was found that the body was minus
an arm, O leg and a portion OF the head.
A coffin was procured aud the body
taken to the home Of the deceased, near
by. An investigation OF the OF
the death OF the unfortunate man
developed the TACT that he has been up
to this city in the afternoon and return
ing in the afternoon had imbibed rather
freely. He was seen as late as 10 o'clock
by a fellow workman and he was then
heading for a saloon and insisted upon
his friend joining him. The next that
was seen OF him the reader knows. 1t
appears that be had become very drunk
and thinking he was at home had taken
off his shoes and a portion Of his cloth
ing and lain down ACROSS the track TO
sleep, and a train coming along dismem.
bered and decapitated him. He was
about 81 years OF age and has always
been considered a half witted sort OF a
fellow by his fellow workmen. His
father and one of his brothers are
preachers OF some note, but neither is at
home.

COAL OIL ~CATAsTRoPHES.

Another Waman Uses Oil to Light a Fire
With the Usual Results-Death CT
Joseph Linden, Who Was Burned Last
Saturday.
Within the last fortnight there have
been four or five terrible accidents,
three of them fatal, from the reckless or
t%houghtlrss use OF coal oil in its various
forms. The first one was Maude Shep-
ard in alley IL, who upset a lamp upon
herself and died within t~wenty-l0ur
hours; then another woman IN East
Wheeling suffered a very severe burn
from a similar accident. Next Joseph
Linden, a moulder at the Central Glass
Works, was burned so seriously last
Saturday that he died the
next day, and now from
South Wheeling come the sicken-
ing details of another horror. Last Sat.
urday morning Mrs. Henry Schrader,
who lived at 1907 Wood street, went
into a shed kitchen near her house for
the purpose of starting q fire in the
stove, and to expedite matters began
pouring coal oil into the stove, when the
oil ignited, and, communicating with
that in the can, an explosion resulted,
and in a moment the clothing OF the I'M
fortunate woman was ablaze. Before
assistance could reach her, or anything
whatever done to relieve her, she was
burned to a crisp and in a moribund coI-
dition. DR.. Pipes did all that was pos.
sible to relieve her, but relief came in
another form late in the afternoon when
she died. 1t does seem strange that in
the face OF all the accidents that are al
most OF daily occurrence that women,
and even men, will persist in the reck-
less and criminal use OF petroleum.
Every veal a number OF cases OF acct
dents from this cause occur in this city,
and from present prospects the list this
year promises to exceed that of any
former year.

Tho Name Of wheeling.

Editors intellgenecT.
In examining recently the "History OF
the Catholic Church in the United s,atss,"
by Hsury DsCourcey, and copyrighted in
1879 by John Gilmary Shea, Ieucountered
the following remarkable origin Of the
nsmso IF your city, at page 1911:
wheeling was so called after a CathO.
lie priest Of the name of WhelSu, who, at
the beginning OF The century oticisted in
Western Pennsylvania aud Virginia, and
who having by baptism relieved child
whom all regarded Us possessed, the father
Of the child gave the name OF Whelan to
the town."
Now, as a former citizen Of your place,
and having spent the first twenty.one
years OF my lie within youI present city
bounds, and having often heard the origin
OF the name discussed, you may judge
that the statement wac q startling one To
me. ! recognize in DR., John g, Shea q
man OF considerable scholarship, and one
thoroughly acquainted with the early
Indian history OF ourCountry, aud 10 some
extent with the aboriginal language, and
| wondered that the Indian origin OF the
name had 80 entirely escaped hia notice,
This led me to q renewed investigation oil
tho nSme, with the following results,
which l submit to your judgment and
your superior opportunities OF knowledge:
First-In the TRANSACTIONS Of the Mo-
ravian Historical Society,"" page 21l, the
following origin Of the name is given by
Rev, John H~eckewelder, the famous and
scholarly MorAvlan missionary: wheel
ing creek, (heading in Washington C0un'
tyy, corrupted from Willing, or Wib.lInk,
slgniiying, where the head is or the
place Of the head (Note.-The Indians
state that along this creek they had dc.
capitated u prisoner, and then impaled his
head)n In a foot note, he says that will,
in the Delaware dialect, signifies the head
Aud in conformation Of this, Z~sisbeTger,
another competent MoraViau authority,
save that wi-tunk means ION the head"
SsCond-In WebsterA Dictionary, Ndl'
ton OF 1871, page 1850, we have; wheel
ing, (Del, weel,inkl, place oil q head" The
sanie definition appears IN all the edtttons
OF the Unabridged since 1854.
Third-Iu the AmericGR PiOnhEr the same
origin is attributed to the name, where il
Is said to be Delaware or Algonquin In.
dian, from "weel," a human head, aud
''iug'' or 'ink," q place. 1t also adds:
"The Indians are said 10 have placed the
head of one Of their white victims on q
pole with the face 10 the river"
l do not understand why DR., Shea, In
view Of these traditions aud authorities so
clrrent and notorious, should be Induced
to perpetusto an error so evidently mis-.
leading. 1t Is true that In later times
there was a Catholic Biahop in your city
named Whelan, but that funCtionarY was
not tysnsferred to Wheeling until July
2Srd, 1850, and the place now occupied by
the present city had its name long years
before that, even beiOreit WAS called Fort
FlnCasile OF Fort Henry, it having TecelV.
ed the latter name in 1915.
