PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

A Whole Train on the Central Division OF
the u. o. In a Creek and no One In
Jured.
An accident which has been probable for
a long time, became fact yesterday morn
ing. Near Glencoe, a small station on the
b. K o. nine miles west Of Bellaire, the
trains have been crossing covered wooden
bridge OF the old pattern and it was here
the accident below occurred. Second sec
ton Of train No - left Bellaire with three
loaded and five empty cars for Newark,
under charge Of conductor Vernon. The
engine Of the train had Just passed the mid
die of the bridge when the enJi.
neer noticed that it was cracking.
Hastily throwing the throttle wide
open, the engine managed to clear the
bridge Just as it parted, but not in time to
let the tender escape Into the creek be.
low tumbled the.tendcr and the eight cars
and the pile was fearful one to see. The
engineer and fireman were happy at their
narrow escape, but we're badly frightened.
No one was hurt, but trains from the east
and west were delayed most Of Yesterday.
A transfer was made IN the afternoon, bat it
is not known when the trains can pass
over as the weather is uniavorable for the
wrecking train. 1t is thought the cold snap
had something to do with the accident.

A LIGHT BLOW
Laid on Gusnthsr ScheIIs by the Arm
of the Law.
Voluntary hauslaughter is All the Jury
Could Make Of the Murder---A
Singular Case Throughout

1--WE, the Jury, find the prisoner guilty Of
voluntary manslsughter."
You could have knocked every man in
the court room down with feather, yester-
day, when the foreman Of the Guenther
Schnelle jury made this return. 1t was eV-
identity matter of such joyful surprise to
the prisoner that he could not restrain his
tears. For a moment he stared iucredu-
ously at the foreman and then he sunk into
his seat, put face in his hands and burst IN
TO tears. If a verdict Of acquittal, based on
insanity, had been returned, no one would
have been much surprised. for that was
within the range Of probabilities. Either
insane or guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree had been the public verdict all along
and the surprise was general and genuine
when this remarkable verdict was given.
The Court had delivered what was con-
sidered very strict and impartial charge
10 the jury, which was out for about an hour
and half Deputy Sheriff Blanchard had
Just gone to the Jury room to see about din
ner arrangements, when the jury announced
it would soon reach verdict In fifteen
minutes it came in and the crowd in the
court room grew very still Guenther
Schnelle stood mp and the foreman gave his
verdict. A poll was demanded and every
Juror affirmed it, The prisoner was then
remanded to Jail for sentence.
From the comment in and about the
court room it seemed that the general be.
lief had been the jury would aliix the life
penalty. The defense had admitted the
killing, pleading only that the mind Of the
prisoner was in such state as to make him
totally irresponsible. 1t was confidently
expected that the jury would hold him in
sane, or, if not insane, then that a premedi-
tated murder had been committed. Nobody
could explain how such compromise yer,
diet could have been reached. Voluntary
msnslaughter is the mildest form Of muir
der 10 constitute felony and the punish
ment is only from one to four years in the
penitentiary.
Col Arnett moved for a new trial, and
will. it is said, carry the case to the Supreme
Court and try to have the prisoner dis,
charged on the ground Of having been once
in jeopardy.

ALMOST UNTRUE.

A wheeling Gentleman. But Evidently
Disguised.
This is evidently Wheelisg man refer
red to blythe Warren Tribune. Who is he:
The FIRST part goes, but the latter part Is
rather questionable;
There lives in the city of Wheeling al
eccentric individual who spends most o.
bis time on the street. Everybody address
es him as Colonel" and in his weather,
beaten face and threadbar4 garments there
fingers an air of responsibility possessed be-
fore the "wah." The Colonel served Ill
the Confederate ranks during the late
unpleasantness. and when the conflict
was over he came back to Wheeling
without mouey, but not without friends.
From each Of his acquaintance he
borrowed a dollar as he happened to meet
them. He soon accumulated fund, and
thus he drifted on for 20 years. When he
meets a friend on the street he will ask,
How are you to-day, flush or busted? II
the latter be will loan the man dollar ii
the former he will exact Of him like sum
and year from that date he will tender
back the borrowed dollar with six cents in
terest. How many business men ioa'
along in that careless manner, never touch
ing bottom until the cash comes which re
veals that they are bankrupt.

ALNElE BLAZE
That Threatened tina Lower Half Of,
Martins Ferry.
Total Destruction of the Hoyle-Joaes Man
ufactoY---Ten thousand Dollar Loss
---0tber Buildings Damaged.

A serious and destructive FIRE occV,red ct
Mathis Ferry, shortly before 10 o'clock,
last evening, which totally consumed the
HoyleJones mandatory and for tirHe
endangered the entire lower part of the
town. The factory named was large
frame structure, near the ferry landing, on
First street, between Washington and Jeffer-
son, ITO feet by 60, with two smaller build
ings in tie rear One Of the latter was a
blacksmith chop, in the southwest corner of
which the FIRE seems to have originated. 1t
was discovered by Isaac Newlsnd who gave
the alarm at the Cottage House. The
buildings burned rapidly and as Martins
Ferry is utterly without means TO light fire
very little was done. A bucket brigade Was
established but it could do nothing against
The blaze. The smaller buildings soon sue
cumed and the large one, went of with a
rush. In less than hall hour nothing but
a glowing heap of ashes remained. The
Cottsge House and a large building ownedby
ID. Park we're on ERE several times but were
extipguished with loss that may reach $500.
The Niagara engine from this city was sent
over, but the long distance made it impos-
sible for it TO get there in time to save the
factory. 1t did good work, however in pre-
venting the flames from spreading.
The factory was erected in 1870 by Isaac
Newland, who designed it for planning
mill but for three years it was unused.
Hoyle Bros. then purchased it, in 1873,
and since then it has been running steadily,
manufacturing agricultural implements.
Last summer it was turned into joint stock
company, under the name of the Hoyle-
Jones Manufacturing Company, with cap
ital of 100000 of which $4,000 was paid
up. The buildings originally cost $500
and contained lot Of valuable machinery.
The company was at work on threshers for
next season and had a quantity of half:hn-
ished stock, which was entirely consumed.
The loss will run to $4,000 or $4,000,
but the exact figure cannot be given at this
time On this there was $4,000 OF insur-
ance. of which 81, 200 is with the German
OF Wheeling, and theremainder with Dayton
and Columbus companies.
There is no clue to the cause OF the fire,
but it is generally attributed to one Of the
forges in the smithy. There is scarcely
need Of comment on Martins Ferry fire
department.

FAINT ~ nur

And Warmer Weather Coming-Th Ex-
tent of Our Misery.
1t is getting warmer. This will be pleas
ing news to some thousands OF frozen
humanity, in this vicinity, after the Arctic
weather Of yesterday morning. At the
bridge corner, when the writer went home
at a. m. yesterday, the delightful temper,
AZURE of 1 below zero had been reached and
three hours later the mercury had descended
TO Just below. AT other points in the
city, the average was below, but the coun.
try to the east of us caught it much worse
than that. At Allan Davis toll gate it
was l6 below and at T. J. Hugus, in
Pleasant Valley, it was down to Is. Dur.
ing the morning it began to moderate and
by 3 clock at the Capitol, it was up to l6
above. From this time it crept very slowly
downward until was reached which was
the average throughout the city.
To-day change will come. The Pitts
burg signal station has telegraphed the C ID
est point has been passed and that warmer
weather, with probable rain, will follow. .

a STRANGE DREAM
That Seemed to Have Foretold the Muir
der of Day.

That Seemed to Have Foretold the Mar
der of Day.
A strange story is now being told by the
B,llaile Independent Of stranger dream
mad bya lady in Mead township on the
night preceding the stabbing Of Samuel
Day at Bellaire by Bub BOrham. The story
Of the dream runs about as follows: The
lady, in company with an older friend,
came TO this city on shopping expedition
On returning, towards evening they were
stopped in the road at the south end OF the
creek bridge By a coffin lying in the middle
of the road. 1t was supposed to
be child, but when the lid was re
moved it was discovered that there were
whiskers on the face, and the lady who had
left the buggy to see what it meant refused
to have anything further to do with the
corpse, and proceeded on home. At this
iuncture she was aroused, and what became
of the corpse is not given in the dream.
But it is stated further that when Bud Dor
ham went to Days farm on the following
day for cattle, this lady saw him through
the window, and 10 those to whom she had
related her strange dream she exclaimed ::
There's the very face saw in
that coffin last night. This story is given
TO us as having actually been told and as
there are a great many superStitious people
who believe in premonition, we give it for
what it is worth. We hardly know how
our superstitious friends will reconcile the
difficulty in this case, for it seems the
wrong face got into the box, but little mac
curacies of this kind hardly ever count in
dreams. 1t is premonition anyhow with
people who desire to think so, and if it is a
fact that the lady, whose name we withhold
merely not to drag it into matter OF this
kind, did really make the exclamation cred
tied to her, the coincidence is, to say the
least, very remarkable.
