An INTERESTING BIOGRAPHY
or One of Wheeling's Oldest Citizens and
Most Respected Ladies'.

OF One of Wheeling's Oldest Citizens and
Most Respected Ladies.
Speaking of the death Of Mrs. l.. G.
Hughes, which occurred last Wednesday,
an intimate friend says: She was the
second daughter of the late Major Phil
ip and Patience Bier, and was born
August 18th, 1908, in Ligonier Valley,
WeStmoreland county, Pa. Her parentSire-
moved to Kings Creek, Hancock county,
Virginia, in ISIS, and from thence to
Wheeling, arriving here on March 18th,
1917. The Journey across the mountains
and through the wild swamps, the camp
ing and cooking by the roadside, were
among her earliest recOllections. Possess
ing a remarkable memory, there are few
persons now living who could
give a more interesting history of this
city and surrounding country than she.
She possessed fund of interesting reminis'
cences of the ''Old people," and the "Old
times when Wheeling was young. One
of her greatest pleasures was recOunting
incidents of the old times, and describing
present localities as they then existed, and in
talkingOf the early residents, most of whom
with generations of their descendants, have
passed away She saw Wheeling when ii
was mostly a struggling village of log
houses, situated principally along Main
street, north of Eleventh. Where now a
prosperous, busy city stands, she remem,
bered us former swamps and woods. Her
death has caused a loss to a large circle OF
friends that can never be filled.

4 ESCAPE.
Bad Wreck OF bridgeport, Last Evening
Two Men Have a Close Clal.

Bad Wreck OF bridgeport, Last Evening
Two Men Have a Close Clal.
A bad accident occurred at the Cleve-
land and Pittsburg depot, at Bridgeport,
last evening about half past eight o'clock,
which resulted in the demolition of several
freight cars, and the detention ofthe south
passenger train until ten o'clock, when a
train was sent up from Bellaire to transfer
the passengers. The accident occurred at
the Y switch, near Hills machine shops.
The switch had been misplaced by accident
or otherwise and instead of running into
the Y, the freight train jumped the track
and ran into a pile of rails and
timbers, wrecking the cars as above
stated. Mr.. c. Appenzeller, a merchant
tailor doing business in Bridgeport, but
residing on South Broadway, Island, and
an employee of the railroad company,
stepped upoa the main track to get out of
the way of the freight train, and had a
narrow escape. Mr.. A~ppenzeller's cOmpan-
ion eaped from the trestle to the gully be-
low, and received a severe Earring up but
no serious injuries. A BRAKEMAN on the
freight train was squeezed between two
cars, but was not badly hurt. One of the
wrecked cars was loaded with powder and
it is fortunate that no explosion occurred.

There was nothing unusual in the appear
ance of the article, yet there seemed to be
some subtle fascination lurking round it,
which irresistibly attracted the passers-by.
Every one who came near it seemed filled
with an unconquerable desire to catch hold
of the rope, and almost without excep-
ton, the desire was gratified. Thinking
that probably he had discovered a new
principle in science, or a new department
of the human mind, the artist produced his
pencil and tablet and sat himself down to
sketch a few victims of the rope habit"
The first subject was a plumber who
came striding along in an intensely bust
ness-like manner as though fortunes were
awaiting him at the end of the street, but
the moment he caught sight of the rope,
his pace slackened and his hand was I'M
consciously extended toward it. The
rope slid across his brawny palm and the
plumber passed on, his mind full of Wis
ions of the wealth which was to be scraped
in by him during the coming winter.

Tonight is Halloween, dear to the
hearts of the young people OfScotland and
Ireland for centuries, and a season IN TINS
country as well of many merry-maklngs
among the bellies and beaux. The ami
versary falling this year upon Sunday, the
Young people of Wheeling generally fixed
upon last evening for their social
enioyments, and in all quarters of the city
surprise parties, dances and 'tattypull-
ingS" were in full blast until midnight,
while the boys and girls OF younger years
devoted themselves in q somewhat moder-
ate degree to the Old-time practice OF car
rying off gates, removing dOor-StcpS, ana
other miSchieyouS pranks. Upon every
street In the residence quarters OF the city
troops of children with paper bags filled
with beans and shelled corn were to be seen,
the contents of the packages being dashed
against chamber windows, thrown into hall
WAYS, or ratified upon the backs OF unsus-
pecting pedestrians. Little damage was
done by the kids" this portion OF the
celebration incident to the day having
fallen decidedly into disrepute Oflate years,
to the great satisfaction OF our adult popu-
latiOn.
There are many features Of Halloween,
however, which in years gone by invested
the day with a peculiar charm, and the
tendency to forget and overlook them is
much to be regretted. These practices,
which undoubtedly owe themselves toa
superstitious feeling which has nearly
died out with the great advance
of civilization in the last gen
Grafton, invested the old Scottish
festival with most delightful and innocent
amusemcntS, and our lovers and sweet
hearts would do we'll to revive in their
original purity the incidents which Burns
portrays in his delightful poem, from
which we quote a few verses.
