An IncendIary Wanted.

An lncendtary "anteu.
There is no doubt but that the $4O,O OC
barn, belonging to Mr.. Engeman, and
located near Moorefeld, Hardy county, an
account of the destruction Of which
was printed in the REGISTER Of
Monday last, was fired by an incendiary,
and the authorities have offered reward
for the arrest of the criminal. A negro
cattle thief, who had been confined in the
Hardy county Jail, broke out on the day
before the fire, and he is strongly suspected
of being the guilty party. The man is a
bold thief, and is alleged to have had
grudge of some sort against the owner OF
the burned property. A description of the
negro has been forwarded to Chief Smith,
who has instructed his men to look out
for the criminal, who is known to have
come this way.

the following:
''Some of the Wheeling folks who came
d own to the musical entertainment last
night were very uncomplimentary in their
remarks about Bellaire people, suggesting
that they could not appreciate good music,
etc. This was ungenerous enough, to say
the least, when city like Wheeling seeks
to sustain one of its churches by musical
entertainment here. People seeking char,
ity should at least be charitable in theiI
remarks"

Probably Fatal Injury.

An accident occurred on the main line
of the Panhandle railroad, east of Wells
burg, yesterday morning, which will prob
ably result in the. death of the victim in a
very short time. As the east bound pas
senger train was nearing Mcdonald Sta
ton, moving at high rate of speed, an
agent {: ofthe sUnion News Company at
tempted to pass from one car to another
with large basket of fruit upon his arm.
While stepping from one platform to an
other his foot slipped and he fell overheard,
being cut and mangled in
a horrible manner. The mis-
hap was unobserved at the time,
and the train ran on for several miles be
fore the news agent was missed. The
train was then checked up and run back
to where the victim was lying. The
young man was placed on board and taken
to Mcdonald Station, where medical at
tendance was secured, but his injuries
were of such nature as to render recov-
cry improbable.

SERIOUS MISHAPS.
SAD AND PECULIAR DEATH OF CAPTAIN
WILLIAM RUTTER.
Fatal Aceidsu. 10 Union News COmpany's Agent
Natural Gas Explosion on Market
Street.

The many friends Of Captain William
Rutter, of Darlington, o., will be shocked
TO hear of his sudden death, at Cincinnati,
last Monday afternoon, the sad result oe-
curing under somewhat peculiar clreum-
stances. About A o'clock on the day In
question, while the towboat, Il. F. Frisbie,
was en- route south with big miscellane-
Gus tow of apples, potatoes, produce and
coal, she struck the Kentucky pier OF the
channel span of the Southern Railroad
bridge. Two barges were sunk by the
collision, and several others broken loose,
among these latter barge containing
9. 400 barrels of apples, owned by captain
Rutter. who with his wife and two children
were on board, the family intending to spend
the winter in the South. Captain Rutter
had long been subject to heart disease, and
the shock of the collision brought on
sudden and fatal attack of the old maiady,
death resulting almost instantly. The
barge floated ON down the river with the
dead man on board, and it was only when
the Frisbie had pursued and brought
the boat back that the fact of the fatality
became known, and even last nights Gin
cinnati papers failed to give the name OF
the deceased. Mrs. Rutter and her eldest
son accompanied the remains back to
Darlington, while the younger son went
on to Louisville with the boat.
Captain Rutter was between 90 and 7O
wears of age, and was we'll and favorably
known along the river between Wheeling
and Louisville. He made business OF
shipping produce, apples, potatoes, &c,
to the southern market, and so high was
his standing and such was the confidence
repcsed in him by the southern trade,
that his merchandise com handed higher
price than that offered by Others.

the Amalgamation.
The Pittsburg Post says: The voting
returns regarding whether or not the
Amalpamated Iron and Steel Workers
shall as body join the Knights of Labor,
are coming in to theheadquarters rapidly.
Secretary Martin refused to say yesterday
what the returns indicate. From another
reliable source, however, it was learned
that there is so far preponderating ma
iority against connection with the
Knights of Labor. A large number of in
fluential lodges have voted almost to a
man against any such move. Several OF
the smaller lodges are inclined to indemnity
themselves with the K. of L. so that, to
use their own expressions, "the conflict
against capital can be more formidable on
the part of labor"
A prominent member of the Amalgam-
ated Association speaking on the question
Yesterday said: ''There is certain to be an
immense MAJORITY against joining the
Knights of Labor. do not think that
the mieority will become obstinate at the
result. They will, am certain, follow
the majority and we will. as body, not
be identified with the Knights of Labor"

NOTES.

Repairs on the furnaces and boilers at
the Top Mill have been about completed
and will soon be ready for work.
The Riverside factory closed down yes
terday at noon on account ola scarcity OF
nail plate. 1t will remain shut down the
balance of the week.
The La Belle mill, which has been
closed down several days on account of re-
pairs being made to the heating furnaces,
is expected to resume this morning.
1t was reported on the South Side yes
terday that the Upper Riverside would
shortly start up twenty-five pudding
furnaces on double time, but inquiry at
the office failed to substantiate the rumor.
It is understood the Riverside is using all
pig the furnace can turn out in the manu-
iacture of steel.
Mr.. George Simmons, of this city, has
new self-feeding nail machine introduced
in Benwood and some of the Wheeling fac
tories that is giving the best satisfaction Of
any of the lately introduced automatic
feeders. George is a practical mailer and
if the machine proves as much of success
as now seems probable it will be bigger
thing to him than his trade.
