Alexander Taylor, An Old South Side Citi-
zen Passed Away.

Alexander Taylor, An Old South Side Citi-
zen Passed Away.
Alexander Taylor, well, and always
favOrably known in our midst, died at his
residence on Chapline street, South Side,
at IN early hour yesterday morning, in the
eighty-third year of his age. The records
of the United Presbyterian Church in this
city, show that Mr. Taylor and his wife
were among the original members of that
congregation at the time it was organized.
a little more than fifty-three years ago.
At an early period in the existence of the
church, Mr.. Taylor was set apart to the
office of a deacon, He has always been o
ready worker in the cause Of the poor and
needy. On the ninth day of September,
1864, he was ordained and installed as a
ruling elder; and he has faithfully dis
charged the duties Of that Office from that
time forward, until he was prevented by
the infirmities of age. Mr.. Taylor was
possessed of a contented and happy dis
position, and was habitually cheerful and
pleasant. He looked at the sunny side of
life, and always tried to make the hest Of
his surroundings.
He was an earnest Christian, and always
tried to adorn his profession by a life be-
coming the gospel. He was constantly
faithful in the discharge of Christian duty,
both in public and in private. Even those
who know him most intimately will fail
to recall any occasion when he failed to
show his religion in his life, or to remem-
Der ever hearing him utter a harsh or I'M
kind word against any fellow being. We
Will have to ook long and carefully to
find another, to whose Christian life was
better ordered,
His wife, Mrs Margaret Taylor, died
on the fourteenth Of December, 1878, since
which time he has been living in his lone
illness with his children. Mrs. William
Hare, Mrs. S. II. Kasley, Mrs. William
Hodge and Miss Martha Taylor are his
surviving children.
A we'll spent life has been ended, and in
view of all his long years OF trial and vic
tory, we may confidently say, blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord" A
valuable member is lost in the church on
earth, but another has been added to the
church in Heaven.

TERRIBLE DEATH.
THOMAS &. BEANS, JR., KILLED ON THE B. &
o. ROAD YESTERDAY,
By Falling From a Train-Dragged For Ons Hun
dred Yards and LsA Dssd Beside
the Track.

Yesterday morninga sad accident oc-
CURED at Benwood, which resulted In the
death of Thomas Elwood Beans, Jr., form
erly of this city. The young man resided
with his parents on their farm, one mile
below the B. & o. bridge, at Benwood,
and has been employed for some time past
in the Wheeling Steel Works, in that
place, and on account Of the long distance
from home to his work he started rather
early in the morning.
From what can be learned OF the acci-
dent, it seems that yesterday morning, Is
usual, he left home about 6 O'Clock and
started to walk to the works. On his way
up, q freight train on the B. & o., which
WAS bound across the river, overlook him
and he boarded it, intending to ride up as
far as the east end of the bridge and then
lump of, which would save him quite a
loug walk.
When the train had reached q point
about half way up the grade the young
man either jumped or fell of, and a por-
ton of his clothes becoming fastened to a
holt or splinter on the car, he was thrown
on his head with his back to the ground,
and dragged in that position for about a
hundred yards, when he fell alongside OF
the track.
About half an hour later he was found
ropna1 Karnnla and MQV0r
Pelley was summoned, but finding an IN
quest unnecessary the remains were car
ried to the residence of j. Kellar, Esq,
to await the attention of the undertaken.
DR.. Ford, who was summoned, made an
examination of the wound and found that
the back part of the skull had been crush
ed in and both legs badly broken and
mangled, although the trunk Of the body
was apparently uninjured. His death was
undoubtedly instantaneous, as the doctor
said the injury to his head was sufficient
to cause death.
The sad intelligence was conveyed to his
parents, who were prostrated andhorrlned
by the sudden and terrible news. Later
the remains were taken to the b. q o.
deuot and from there removed to the home
of his parents.
The unfortunate young man was twenty
years and six months old, and wa the
youngest son of Thomas E. BeanS,a former
resident of the Island, and brother of Mr..
Will C. Beans, city editor Of the REGIS
TER. He was an intelligent AMI amiable
young man and had many friends in the
city and vicinity who are panied to hear
of his sudden and terrible death. An
additionally sad feature ofhis demise is the
fact that his twin brother also mel with
q sudden death by drowning in the river
several years since.
The remains will be brought to this
city and the funeral will take place from
the residence of Mr.. w. c. Beans, lao
South Broadway, Island, Sunday afternoon
at ] o'clock.

Herne's Minute Men.

s'The Minute Men of '76" is booked for
the Opera House for Monday night. This
play Is most highly spoken of by the press
of other cities AZ a most thrilling and emo
tional patriotic drama. The plot Is laid
during Revolutionary times, and the stir
ring scenes through which u ioretathers
passed in their struggle for
freedom are wildly set forth.
There are many pathetic passages in the
drama, but the whole is livened up by
several Jolly comedy characters. The
company is an excellent one, and Mr.. JAS.
A. Herne and Miss Katherine Herne are
well recommended as having a high ideal
of dramatic perfection. The company
carry their own special scenery with
them.

Further Information Ia regard to the Ter
ribie Affair.
The REGISTER, yesterday contained an
account of a powder explosion in the store
of Robert Hall, at Franklin, Ohio, on
Thursday. Later information shows the
following 10 be the facts in the matter;
Seated with Robert Hall in his store were
Patrick Meehan, Jacob Weiss, and two
boys named respectively Bennie Will
liams and .Ott Ault. Clarence Nef
came in and bought a nickel's worth Of
stogies. He was wrapped up III a heavy
oyercoat, and, desiring n light,
Mr.. Hall struck n match and, as he reach
ed it over the counter, it dropped. He
made a sweep at it with his hands, and
that is the last known of the affair except
what the result shows. The powder was
in an open keg Just beneath the counter
where the two men stood, and either the
whole match or a spark from it fell into
it, and the explosion was instantaneous.
The men and boys in the
back part OF the store
knew nothing Of what was going
on until in an instant they were blown
with terrible force against the side Of the
store amidst o lot of burning store goods.
Robert Halls clothing was literally burned
offhim, and the flesh on his body and face
burned toa crisp so that it fell from the
bones in chunks. He was still alive
yesterday morning, but recovery is
out of the question. The
heavy coat of Clarence Neff is
all that saved him, though he is not en-
tirely out of danger. His face is badly
burned, both his eyes closed and he is un.
able TO Use his jaws at all. Patrick Nee.
han was seriously burned about the face
and one ofhis hands badly burned. Jacob
Weiss is also seriously burned and bruised
but not dangerous. The two boys were
the most fortunate ones of the party and
escaped with slight burns.
