urday evening was resumed by Squire

yesterday morning, at nine O'Clock. A jury
was not empaneTed, the Justice thinking
the summoning OF one not warrented By the
facts. Quite q large crowd Of friends OF
the deceased, and other parties interested,
was present
The first witness called was Mrs. Jane
Morrlsy, the woman engaged in the playful
struggle with Mrs. Brooks at the time OF
her death. She testified as follows: Mrs.
Brooks and myself were
FooLIsHLY sCUFFLISG
together, when she pulled me out of the
door on 10 the porch, where she slipped
and fell over the edge, pulling me with her.
Mrs. Brooks and | were always on good
terms. We never had a dispute. / believe
/ am hurt internally / spit blood all morn
ing; ] had t sit up all night; l could not
lie down, because OF pain in my body. l
did not at any time yesterday drink beer
or anything else with Mrs. Brooks"
Martha Moore, who reside on the ground
n0Or OF the mouse, was sworn, anu le5llueu
as follows: while | was coming out from
under the porch last night, just after 6
o'clock, | heard q noise over my head. l
looked up, and saw Mrs. Brooks and Mrs.
Morrisy in the act Of
FALLING OFF II PORCH
together. | ran out and screamed. Mrs.
Morrisy fell on top of Mrs. Brooks. |
went to their aid. Mrs. Brooks breathed
about twice and died. | did not know of
any i'll feeling existing between Mrs. Nor
risy and Mrs. Brooks; they always seemed
to get along quietly and pleasantly TO-
gether."
George V. Brooks, husband of the de-
ceased, was sworn, and testified that he
never knew of n i'll feeling or dispute
between mis- wife and Mrs. Jane Morrisy.
On the contrary, they were always pleasant
neighbors. He was not at home when the
accident happened.
The coroner rendered a verdict that de-
ceased came to her death by falling off a
porch at her residence while playfully

A Boys Arm Laeerated by q Bull Dog.
Yesterday about moor a party Of ten or
twelve boys residing in East Wheeling,
their ages ranging from twelve to sixteen
years, went out through the tunnel for
the purpose of bathing in the creek.
About half past two thew started home,
goirg up oyer the hill, just south Of the
Peninsula cemetery, instead of through
the tunnel. While passing along the road
a bull dog, owned, the boys thought, by a
man named Frank Meyers, sprang at the
boys and endeavored to catch one OF them,
William Winters by name. by the throat.
Young Winters threw up his left arm, and
the dog caught it between the elbow and
shoulder, making three ugly wounds each
about an inch long, and correspondingly
wide and deep, in q line around the cir
conference of the arm,a and about an inch
and a half apart, tearing the flesh and mus
cles badly. The boy succeeded in making
his escape, and the matter being reported
to Capt. Bennett he promised to have the
canine shot. Young Winters was taken to
DR.. Stifels Office, where his wounds were
sewed up and dressed. The boy lives at
No. POP Seventh street and is employed at
the Central Glass Works.

Narrow Escape of = BeuwOod Coal
Miner.

Saturday afternoon a coal miner named
Louis Karl, employed at the Benwood coal
works, narrowly escaped death while at
tempting to fire a blast in the mine. The
blast had been prepared and the fuse light
ed, but for some reason the powder failed
to explode. After waiting ONE time Karl
went back to the blast to see what Was
wrong. Just as he stopped over the hole
the powder ignited the explosion throwing
him some eight or ten feet. karls face,
arms and knees were badly burned, his
face especially being thickly pitted over
with small holes caused by fragments Of
coal being blown into the flesh, producing
bad looking, although not serious injuries.
He was removed to his home in the Eighth

Five Men, Two Horses IN a Wagon

Yesterday afternoon Michael Hoelstein,
who lives a short distance up Caldwells
run, embarked in a wagon with four other
men for drive up the run road. While
ascending the big hill about a mile outside
the city limits, Mr.. Holstein stopped his
team to allow the horses to rest, pulling
the horses ~diagonally across the road. In
attempting to start W one OF the horses
slipped, and before it could regain its foot
ing the entire party, men, horses and
wagon, went over the bank, turning over
and over until the bottom was reached,
some thirty feet below. Strange to say,
but one of the party, Mr.. Holstein, received
severe injuries, he being quite badly cut
and bruised. lie was placed in a wagon
by a Mir. Bruner, living near, and conveyed
TO his home. The wagon landed on top of
one Of the horses, bruising it considerably.
