DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Terrible Collision on the 3. & o.,
lust West of Bellaire.
Two Engineers and Two Firemen Fright
fully Mangled. and Passenger
Badly Hurt---TwO or Three
May Die.

Another collision more serious in its con
sequences than any other of the half dozen
lately occurring on this end of the Trans
Ohio division of the Beltimore and Ohio
road, occurred near Lewis Mills, Belmont
county, about nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing, five persons being seriously and large
number slightly wounded, while two engines
were entirely destroyed. The details of the
wreck and the names Of the wounded men
will be found below:
The helper" engine which runs from
Bellaire to Belmont Station was coming
east about nine o'clock, running at the rate
of twenty FIVE miles an hour, and when com.
ing down heavy grade mile or % west OF
Lewis Mills, it rounded q sharp curve and
plunged into the engine of the GAINESVILLE
accommodation, which had left Bellaire at
$50, and was under good Roadway. The
two engines came together with terrible
crash. No. l79, the helper" was literally
torn to pieces, the water tank and tender
running upon the resulting scrap iron, fol-
lowed by the forward car.
This engine was manned by Robert Hite,
engineer, and John Bsugh, fireman, both
residents of Bellaire. Engineer Hite had
no time to reverse his engine when he saw
the inevitable. He was injured about the
breast and ribs, and his left arm badly
burned. Fireman Baugh sustained far
greater injuries, his right arm being cut OF
close to the shoulder, while he received in
addition, serious bruises about the body. Il
is feared he will die.
Engine No G5, of the accommodation,
was about as badly broken up as the help
en-" She was manned by Engineer Benz
Butterworth, of GAINESVILLE. and Fireman
Michael Cosgrove, Of BellaSe. Butterworth
had his right leg cut off above the
knee, his face, crushed and his
chest and abdomen badly injured. he was
insensible at dark last night, and his death
was hourly expected. Cosgrove was also
very seriously wounded, the exact location
of his hurts, however, being not known.
he was too badly used up to admit of his
removal from the scene of the accident, and
it was reported last night that he was dead.
The passengers on the accommodation
were badly shaken up, and, as matter OF
course, almost frightened out OF their senses
when the shock came. One lady, whose
pame is unknown, received serious injuries
about the head. Several narrow escapes
are reported.
Engineer Hite, of the "helper," was the
only one of the four men on the engines at
the time of the collision who was able to get
about after the accident, and he came in on
the accommodation to Bellsire about halt,
past four last evening. Fireman Baugh
was brought in late last night.
1t is said the accident was caused by the
watch of Engineer Hite stopping. A wreck
ing train left Bellsire at 10 o'clock yester'
day morning, several doctors being taken
out the departure of the latter giving rise
10 many wild rumors in Bellaire as to the
magnitude of the disaster.

Caught by an Octopus.

A diver who was trying to end pearls of
the Alaska coast found none, but found
himself, all of sudden, in the grasp Of an
ugly octopus with arms twenty. seven feet
long. Such an experience is rare; but
there are thousands of people who are
caught by dyspepsia, which is quite as bad.
An octopus hates to let 60. So does dys-
pepsia. Browns Iron Bitters settles dys-
pepsia, and makes it loose its cruel grip.
Mrs. Schmidt and her daughter, Of l36
Conway street. Baltimore, were both cured
of dyspepsia by the use Of Browns Iron
Bitters.

An All Day Session, at Which Little Work
Vas Done---The Successful Bid
ders for Road Contracts.

Yesterday was field day in the Board of
County Commissioners, the principal sub
iect coming up for consideration being the
r. port of the Committee on Roads and
Bridges, in the matter of letting contracts
.or work on county roads and bridges. The
ball was opened soon after the Board had
been called to order, and with few brief
intermis sions the day was spent in discuss
ing the threadbare subject of whether or no
he apI ropriation should have been made
or, being, made, whether it, in justice
10 The city, should stand, the matter being
gone ov. r in all its details by the members.
A CONN ittee from the Chamber of Com
meIce was present in the endeavor to im-
press the Board with the desirsbility of cut
ting down or revising the estimates, the
committee bearing and presenting mon
ster petition demonstrating against the ap
preparation. After discussion which, ran
along until 4:3O o'clock, the report OF the
Committee on Roads, awarding bids, was
agreed to; ayes 6, nays 3.
The routine business is appended:

WHEREVER high license has been
given a trial it has worked advanta-
geously to the public. 1t invariably de-
creases the number of drinking saloons
and cuts off the worst features of the
traffic. Wisconsin has been the latest to
try the experiment, changing the mimi
mum license fee from S75 to 5000. Re-
turns obtained from hundred towns of
the State show that there has already
been decrease in the number of saloons
to the extent of several hundred, while
the public revenue has been increased to
the extent of $22O,OOO. This Is the way
that heavy taxation of the liquor traffic
works. A simple tax of two hundred
dollars in Ohio swept more than five
thousand saloons oGt of existence at
once, while nearly two millions of reve-
nue. was the result of the law. Had a
Democratic Supreme Court let the Scott
law alone, in all probability thousands
of other drinking saloons would have
closed up ere this. There is something
sure in taxing the liquor traflic.-Cleve-
land Leader.

MANY bells on shipboard have been
tolled on the Potomas river opposite Mt.
Vernon since the death and burial of
General Grant. This is a renewal of an
old custom that sprung up in this way:
One afternoon, long ago, a merchant
vessel manned by French admirers of
Washington passed slowly down the
stream, and when Mt. Vernon came in
sight the tri-color was put at half-mast
while minute by minute deep.toned
bell on the deck tolled as if at funeral.
From that moment it seemed to the
rivermen that the thing to do in going
by the grave of Washington was to make
some sign of respect. Nevertheless, the
younger generation had almost forgotten
to keep up the custom, until the burial
of Gen. Grant served as a reminder of
what their fathers did.

A DAY OF MEMORIES.

On day like this. when the streets are
wet,
When the skies are gray and the rain
is falling.
How can you hinder an old regret,
For joy long dead, aud hope long set,
From rising out of its grave and call
ing
Calling to you, with voice so shrill
That it scares the reason and stuns the
will.
On day like this, when the sun is hid
And you and your heart are housed
together,
If memories come to you untold,
And something suddenly vets your lid,
Like gust of the outdoor weather,
Why. who is at fault but the dim old day
Too dark for labor, toe dull for play2
On day like this, that is blurred and
gray,
When the rain drips down in a cease
less fashion,
If dream, that you banished and put
away,
Comes back to stare you in the face and
say
Mute, eloquent words of passion;
If the whole vast univers seems amiss,
Why, who can help it. day like this?
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
