Another Highway Robbery - YOuthGI
Offenders This Time


On last Tuesday evening a bold high
way robbery occurred on one Of the most
public streets In tho city, and at an early
hour in the evening, and before the affair
Ia week old we are CalledIupon to Chron'
Cle another case oil similar nature.
A young Hebrew named Cohen on Sat.
urday started to find the residence OF a
friend 10 East Wheeling, and, losing bis
way, stopped at the corner OF Nineteenth
and EotE streets to enquire OF some boys,
who were Congregated there, as to which
direction he should take to find the place
he was looking for. The reply given, as
reported TO US, was that they would tell
him II he gave them some money to buy
beer Mr.. Cohen's answer seems to have
displeased the youths inasmuch as they
Immediately assaulted him, knocking him
down, and riaing his pockets Of fifty
cents in silver, a handkerchief and some
trinkets, The affair took place at hRlt.past
10 o'clock. Soon thereafter the police
were notified Of the affair, but 1t was not
till last evening that they succeeded In
Caging their game. Officer Morris ar.
rested John Rust, and Officers Junkins and
Furgate overhauled Samuel HussletOn,
Edward Fisher and Edward Rose. All
were lodged In the lookup last night
and will appear this morning before Judge
Cranmer TO answer the grave charge Of
highway robbery. The prisoners are boys
yet, but they are old enough, II guilty Of
the crime they are charged with, to know
that 1t is best to walk CirCumspeCtly
in life and not do those things that will
disgrace themselves and bring sorrow and
shame 10 their homes.

n0IInIIiLE ACCIDENT
Ton ColOred woman saturday Night in

To n COlOred Woman saturday Night In
East wheeling.
"a horrible and probably a fatal accident
occurred Saturday night in Alley 10, south
Of Fifteenth, in East Wheeling. Osborne
Gray, night employe at the Gas Works,
left his wife and two children at home
while he went to work. At the usual
time Mrs. Gray retired to bed, but about
ten o'clock she got up for the purpose Of
obtaining a bottle Of Camphor from the
mantlepieCe. Approaching the fireplace
with a lighted lamp in her hand, she was
stricken with epilepsy and fell to the floor,
and upon the lamp, which was broken by
the fall. At once her clothing was ignited,
and in Q moment she was en-.
yeloped In flames and powerless
to help herself Her frantic screams
for help brought IN the neighbOrs
who smOthsred the flames with the bed
clothing, and then went 10 work to re.
ieve her intense sutferings. An examin.
alton developed the fact that the woman's
flesh was literally burned to crisp from
her ankles 10 her neck. Her breasts were
almost burned OF, and other portions Of
her body only less severely. It was some
hours before the woman had medical al.
tention, and then DR.. Baird arrived and
stated that her death was likely to take
place at any moment The kind hearted
neighbors did all they could 10 relieve her
necessities aud are still sBsidious in their
attentions. Mrs. Gray was still alive at
the time Of tho writing Of this notice, but
1t was not likely that she would survive
until this morning.
