She WANTED LAUDASUM,
But II Was Taken From Her BY
Force.
Accident in a MiIl---Child's Fearful Fall
---Suffocated in a Weli---Yes-
terday's Casualties.

Yesterday evening quite an excitement
was created on Sixteenth street, East
Wheeling, over the struggle of a man and a
woman on the pavement. Finally, to cap
the affair Of, another man stepped forward
and also entered into the struggle. Every
body rushed forward to see what was the
matter, and in few mOpents quite crowd
had gathered. The curiosity of the people
was not satisfied in the least, for hardly
had the crowd congregated when one Of
the participants ami the woman started off
up Sixteenth street and the othe
gentleman returned to bis place of business.
A REGISTER reporter hearing of the affair
went to the scene of conflict and CLEANED
the following particulars of the affair: The
woman had entered the drug store, near
Jacob street and called for small phial Of
laudanum, claiming to have a very severe
pain in her stomach The druggist put up
a small bottle and on receiving It the wo-
man remarked, This will end my troubles,
and left the drug store. The druggist not
liking the manner in which the remark was
made and also fearing the woman might
end her days, started in pursuit of her. She
was overtaken about three doors
above the drug store and the
bottle of poison demanded of her.
She refused to give it mp and the druggist
undertook TO take it from her by force. In
the last undertaking he would no: have
been successful had not the woman's hus-
band stepped forward, and upon learning
what was the matter assisted the drug man
in securing the bottle. The generalimpres-
sion of those familiar with the principal in
this attempted suicide is that the woman
only purchased the dose for the purpose of
frightening her husband. Whether this is
true or not one thing is certain, that wo-
man will never again be able to purchase
bottle Of laudanum from that druggist.

THE MINERS STRIKE

Savings and Doings.

At the Wheeling Creek Works-Bridgeport
Sayings and Doings.
The miners at the Wheeling Creek mines
are still out and are determined that they
will not go in on the old scale, or on the
companys terms: The mines have been
stopped for three weeks and most OF the
miners have gone elsewhere to work. 1t
APPEARS that the company when any copper
stone would be found in the coal would
take the whole car, thus victmizing the
miners. They admit that the scale is not
Just and are willing TO meet the company
and aGopt a scale that is anything like rea'
sonable The public, from what can be
learned, is in sympathy with the
miners, believing that they have
made no unjust demand. Mr.
Jacob Eoneysteel was in Pittsburg and
neichLolirg towns lasi week and visited the
diff glass houses lie reports business
picking up and that all glass houses will
soon be in operation. Mr.. Boneysteel is
not only and expert workman but a good

accepted another position as mail agent

Gil then appointed Chas. Reed to make out
the books, regardless of any action or work
done BY Helmbright Helmbright pre-
scented his bill for work done, but as Coun-
Gil did not believe he was entitled to any
