turn.
The proposed or much talked OF race be-
tween He'll, the kid" Of Bsllaire, and
Knoke, the Eighth ward oarsman, is of. A
reporter met Jus Hanke yesterday and was
informed that the Bellaire men would not
agree to give expenses il the Wheeling
man would row in Bellaire and would not
take expenses and row at this city. The
following was clipped from the Bellaire
Independent:
Messrs. Gus Hanke and John Ray, of
Wheeling, came down yesterday, ostensibly
10 make q race between Kuoke, the oars
man, and He'll. our kid" They talked
and talked, and that is about the whole
story. They wanted to row on the Wheel
ing course and no guide boats. The Bsllaire
boys offered to row on the Bsllaire course
with no guide boats, but would not allow
the kid" to be taken to Wheeling
on Q strange course without guide boats.
Messrs. Hanke and Ray would listen to
nothing of this kind. They wanted the
race made on their own terms and rowed
on their own water; consequently no race
was made. Oh, no, Wheeling is full of
small boys that can beat He'll, the kid, but
their boosted oarsman must have things
fixed his own way or he won't touch him.
He'll rows at 100 pounds, has never rowed
but one race, and that was a sort OF scrub,
vet Wheeling sports want the race given to
them.

A few stray Pittsburg rapers reach this
city, and one of them came yesterday with
. story which at first seemed to tenn with
startling interest to the community. 1t set
forth, in what purported 70 be a special dis.
patch from Wheeling, that a belle Of this
vicinity had eloped with her fathers
negro coschman, and the pair Ct ILL
assorted lovers had heen traced TO
Cleveland by a detective from here and
there lost sight Of. This story, when read
by one, was soon sown broadcast and
eagerly listened to. and the greatest curl
osity was manifested to know who the lady
could be. Cora Sanford was the name
given, but no such person lived in this
neighborhood, and her wealthy father was
q stranger to this vicinity.
The truth Of the matter is about this:
No such dispatch was ever sent to the
Pittsburgh paper. A Sunday paper at
Cleveland published it, and the Pittsburgh
paper simply 'grspevined' it. The Cleye-
land paper gives the following:

A sad accident occurred at Martins Ferry
last evening, within 200 yards Of the depot,
by which VIM. Gill lost his life. The 6
o'clock up train on the c. & P. road had on
board VIM. Gill, a brakeman. As the train
approached the station he grasped the brake
to put it down. AS he did so, the chain
broke and the wheel went whirling about,
throwing him off the platform and under
the wheels. In an instant he was literally
cut to pieces and his mangled remains scat
tered over the track.
Gill lived in Bellaire, and his remains
were SEM there, where a wife and two chill
dren will mourn his loss. He was formerly
a citizen of Martins Ferry, was sober aud
industrious, and had recently been pro-
NOTED to extra conductor.

~FINE.HAIRED STORY.

STORY.
For the past two days a detective from
Wheeling, W. Va, has been in this city
searching high and low for q runaway
young woman. To Judge from the photo
graph, which the detective had in his pos
session, she is from twenty to twenty-five
years Of age, very prepossessing in her ap'
pearance, and apparently a young woman
OF considerable culture. The young woman
is named Cora Sanford. She is the daugh-
ter OF a well-to-do farmer named John San
ford, who lives on the outskirts OF Wheel
ing. Miss Sanford. it appears, recently
ct iduated from a female seminary with
high-honors, and was looked upon as a
thoroughly modest and highly accom-.
plished young lady. A colored man OF
probably ~thirty-fiye years OF age, named
Frank Smith, had been employed for some
years by Miss Sanford's father
IN THE CAPACITY OF HosTLER.
From the descriptions given Of him he is
as ugly as a hedge-fence, very illiterate,
although a glib talker, and TO add to his
other projections has a badly-lamed leg
which gives a noticeable limp to his gait.
That the fair Cora should ever have become
smitten by such an object as Smith is one
of those unexplainable things that is past
all human understanding. OF course no
intimacy of the kind was in the remotest
way suspected by the parents OF the girl,
although through her endeavors Smith was
promoted to the position of Coachmau, and
Miss Cora afterward showed the greatest
parlislity to driving out for an airing. Last
Sunday morning Miss Cora was discovered
missing. A note was found in her room
which simply stated that she
HAD CONE NEVER TO RETURN
again and asking the forgiveness OF the
kind parents whom she had wrOnged. TIE
cause OF her departure was o learned
Smith was missing too, and some Of his
CrOnies, to whom he had boosted OF Miss
Sanford's passion for him, began to talk
Little things which before had passed with,
ont remark were then remembered and
commented upon, and the Mortified parents
soon had but the single conclusion left
them, viz: That the foolish girl bad e'oped
with the co,ored coaChman. fhe facts OF
the case, together with photographs and
necessary descriptions, were gi'vnI 10 Ine

tickets to this city. An officer was dis

Station in search Of Detective Lohrer, but
that gentleman was engaged elsewhere.
Together with Sergeant Humphrey in

THE WHEELING DETECTIVE MADE SEARCH
OF every portion of the city where the miss
ing couple would be apt to go, but all to no
purpose. Traces of the pair were discov'
cred in various quarters and Information
was finally obtained that they had left the
CITY. Where they are gone seems to be an
open question, and they are now more
careful in hiding their tracks. The det"c
live left the city last night, having dtscoy'
ersd what he believes to be a clue to their
whereabouts. The parents Of the foolish
Girl are said to be nearly distracted and
wish her returned to them under any cir
cumstances, as they are ready to receive
her with open arms. 1t is not believed
