the Fruit Of the Chase.
Saturday night, about midnight, the res
iderts OF the central portion of the city
who had not retired, were startled bv the
sharp tOots OF police whistle. Everybody
rushed out on the street, and seeing two or
three men rush down Twelfth street, they
naturally supposed something Of very
startling nature had happened. About
fifteen men and boys struck out after the
officers, following them to the B. & D.
depot, and on down the track to nearly op
posite the Riverside FurniLare Factory.
There they were met by a couple of brake
men and a conductor, the latter
standing guard over freight car.
in which was confined, he did Not
know how many more. The door was
hastily pulled open and the officers, with
uplitted cluts, made an examination ami
were rewarded for their long run by fad
ing a small colored boy about Is years old)
in the car. The prisoner was marched to
the lookup, and upon searching him they
found q pistol. The cause for the telephone
message from the depot TO the officers was
this: The conductor was bringing freight
train through from Grafton and at Ben
wood he discovered that the seal on a car
loaded with watermelonS hsd been broken
A search was Immediately instituted
through the train and he found some one
had also opened another car and was on the
inside. He locked the car up and brought
his captive 10 this city and sent for the
Ulcers. The boy is supposed to be VIM.
Holt, formerly of this CITY. He will have

A MISSING WIFE.
Mrs. Muir wonders From Home and
Cannot be Found.

On Saturday night Mr.. Robert Muir, Of
the Sixth ward, returned to lis home in
the Parker block, he found that his wife
was not in her sleeping apartment, and
search through the house showed that she
had left the premises. Her dress and
shoes were left in the room, and she must
have gone out into the street barefooted
and protected only by her night clothing
from the chilly weather which prevailed.
The distracted husband sought the services
of Offcer Williams, who aided him in the
search for his missing wife, but no trace of
the has been discovered. Muir says his
wife subject to fits, and he fears that she
has fallen in secluded place in one of
these attacks and died from lack of proper
attention.
Last night the missing wife had not beea
found, nor had any trace of her been dis.
covered, and her husband feared she had
wandered to the river. He gives the fol.
lowing description:
She is % years old, with a light complex
ion and light hair, grey eyes, and about
feet 3 inches in height. As nearly as can
be ascertained, she wore pair of red cor
sets and dark brown skirt, and was in her
stocking feet. Any information to be Civ
en- will be thankfully received

The cause of the drowning OF Grant c.

possession few minutes before being
missed. were not upon his body when
searched by his brother, who went to the
place where the body was found on the
Town trip of the Regular. Whether he
was robbed aud then pushed into the river,
or the things taken from the body after it
was moOred fast, al investigation now on
loot may develop. The body was brought
10 the city on the Diurnal and was intended
10 be sent TO Grafton for burial; but its
condition male its temporary deposit in

will be taken to Grafton at future time

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Two MEN Killed and . Desperate A
fray Averted.

fray Averfed.
A serious and fatal accident, which nar.
rowIy escaped being followed by desper.
ate ARRAY, occurred near Sistersville last
week. While two gangs of laborers were
at work in the rock cut above town, 1t be-
came necessary to blast large rock in or
der to move 1t cut of the way. The men in
the south end of the cut having prepared
the blast, all were warned to get ont OF
danger. The south division, who were
composed of negroes, made tracks end
got out of danger, but the Italisns,
working in the northern end Of the
cut, thinking there was no great DANGER
ran about one hundred feet and screened
themselves behind rocks. When the ex-
plosion occurred two Italians, who were
seeking shelter behind an embankment,
were hit in the head by rocks and terribly
mangled. One was struck in the back part
of the head by q sharp rock and almost in
stsntly killed, the skull having been con-
pletely mashed in, and presented sickning
aspect The other one was struck
IN the forehead by huge rock, which cut
a terrible cash in the skull. The medical
assistance of Dr.. G. b. West was immedi-
ately called, but nothing could be done for
of two yet alive were loaded into cart and
conveyed to town, the other Italian dying
soon after they arrived. The Italians
claim that the negro boss in charge o. the
men who put fFthe blast did not give them
warning TO get out of the way Of danger,
and having become almost frantic with
grief at the fate of their partners, threat
ened and attempted to kill the negroes
whom they chased to town with revolvers,
hand spikes and picks. 4 crowd OF the
fleeing darkies sought refuge in the mill OF
Mr.. John Summers, thus eluding the pcr-
suit of the Italian mob, while those who
could cross the river, sought shelter in the
hills and dales of Monroe county. One
offthe unfortunate victims OF the disaster
has three brothers in the gang, whose
grief and lamen tations at the loss OF their
brother was heartrending, and enough 10
move the hardest heart to sympathy.
They appeared to be perfectly wild with
grief and would not be comforted. Cere.
monies consistent with the Roman Cath
Ole Church were performed and the bodies
laid to rest in lakewood Cemetery.
Although the Italians laid the blame on
the darkies for not having warned them OF
danger, had the Italians who were killed
not stopped so near where the blast was
fired, they would not have been hurt. 1t
looks as though they were to blame for
their own deaths, as it was negligence on
their own behalf that they lost their lives.
