ing, Yesterday Morning.
Yesterday morning q young child OF
James Moore, who lives in the vicinity OF
West Wheeling, met with a horrible acct
dent, which may result in its death.
The mother had sent the child to
a coal chute near its home to get a bucket
of coal, and on its way the little girl
stopped at fire near a lime kiln TO warm
herself, and by some means while standing
with her back to the FIRE her clothing was
iRnited and the garments all burned from
the cbild's body before assistance could ar.
rive. She was taken to her home, and
DR.. Van Wagner called, who did all in
his power to alleviate the child's sufferings,
which were of the most desperate charsc-
ter. Late last night the unfortunate one
was no better, and grave fears are enter
tanned that she will not recover.
Yesterday the police force, consisting Of
Messrs. Stuff, ~McConnaughy and Meister,
went out to the Wheeling Creek Coal
works, to serve warrants on John DLick,
his son James and another Bohemian, who
are charged with having stolen about halt
Of Mr.. freeman Coulter's corn crop. The
officers, on arriving on the scene of action,
found DLick and son at home, but
the other object of their search had flown
like the blackbirds in autumn. The two
presumed to be culprits were brought to
town and were lodged In jail, and will be
given a hearing this morning. ,
Charles Williams, George Lynch and
another vsgrsnt, whose name and resi-
dence are of little consequence, have been
loafng about town cumming grub and
drinks and whatever else they might find
during the past few days. Yesterday the
two named entered John Hoolahsn's sa
loon on Pike street, and the proprietor be-
ing absent they seated themselves in chairs
around the stove. In q little while the
LIQUOR in them, and several more drinks
procured from persons who entered the
place and "set EN- MP to the house, began
to take effect, and the festive buns
made things rather interesting and uproar-
ious. They, however, quieted down before
the proprietor returned, who promptly sent
for the police and had them locked up in
the old time bsstile.

result Of too much exhileratioD, may be
heard by the entire community.
