FATAL ACCIDENT!
Two Trains Collide at Valley Falls,
on the B. & 0. Last Night.

The Limited Express on the B. & o.
coming West, due here at 10:45 o'clock
last night met with Q serious accident at
Valley Falls, twelve miles this side of
Grafton. A freight train going east re-
ceived orders to side.rack at that point,
and it is reported that the switchman
neglected to close the switch, aud the
passenger train ran into the freight train
with terrific force, an awful wreck ensuing.
No definite information could be OBJ
tanned last night, but it was learned that
Ed Dewyer, engineer Of the express and
his fireman, and Billy Connell engineer Of
the freight, and his fireman, were all kill
ed outright. Three tramps, who were
stealing q ride on the freight, it is said,
were also instantly killed, while a number
Of the passengers on the express were more
or les injured, several perhaps fatally.
Dewyer and Cornell are both residents
of this city, where they are we'll known.
The wreck is reported to be a terrific

THE DECORATIONS.

Many Handsome Displays Noticed About
the Central Part of the City.
Many Republican citizens went to q
great deal oftrouble and expense yesterday
to make their residences look as gay as
possible, and they succeeded in doing 50,
assisted with bunting, f'gs Japanese
lanterns and pictures of the Republican
candidates. There were very few business
houses decorated for the reason of course
that the parade was at night and they
would sl be CLOSED. Some of the decora
lions were certainly elegantsnd handsome,
and illuminated with red ire their beauty
was added to.
On the south side Of Fifteenth street,
from the OH of E1ff on up to the alley,
there was 8 string Of japanese lanterns,
only baoken in two places. They included
the residences of Miss Ida L. Schmidt, ".

A noticeable feature was the lack of cries
for Golf. Ia fact, at several points the
shouts Of the paradeIs were drowned in

WAS that there were very few pictures OF

The Board of County Commissioners
AGAIN got down to work at the recount Of

day morning, and put in a faithful day on
going over the county districts Of Richland
and Triadelphia. There YVES sb'ut the
ususlnumbsr ofspectstols present through
oat the day.
Richland district was the first taken up,
and the count was commenced on the
Brick School House precinct. 1t had been
determined, at the request of Mr. Garden,
the Democratic candidate for County Com
missioner, to have 8 recount upon that Ct
fire in tie district ss we'll as upon Con-
gresham. Counsel for the rival guberna-
Torial candidates stated that they would
not require a recount of the districi for the
head of the State ticket. Every thing
was found to tally in the School House
precinct, and tie Glenn's Run tox was
next CD ,ned. In going over the ballo's
for the Office of Commissioner, contained
in this box, six Doubtful ballots were dis
coyared snd laid aside, to be considered
later. When the count was concluded 1t
was found that McCallOch, the Republican
candidate, still had two msjo ity over Mr..
Garden, and the 6oubtfol ballots were not
taken up, as they could not affect the re-
suit.
TSrisdelphia district was the next, the
f rat bcx opeuei bsing R9bi1Eon's precinct.
Here the count corresponded with the tally
sheet, ard after c%o2ciuding the exsmlna'

session, Elm Grove precinct was taken up,
and an examination Of the bsllO's result

difference of two. When the cO1nt wa
finished, Mr.. Hugus, counsel for Mir. At

over q second time, claiming that there
was a discrepancy of one between the tai )
of the Judges of the precinct and the tally

Peudleton, replied to the argument, and
the Board decided TO lay the point aside
until the count of the entire district hat

THE PECULIAR ACTIONS
OF a North wheeling MAJ Toward Tv

OF a North wheeling Man Toward Two
Sisters.
During the past two or three days there
has been a good deal of talk in the First
ward about the rather peculiar actions of a
young men residing in that portion Of the
city. The story goes that about eleven
O'Clock last Saturday night the man in
question went to the home Of 4 young lady
with whom be has been Excepting COM
pany." The front door has been left un.
licked by two younger girls and a little
brother, in order that they might not be
sroused by the entrance of the elder girl,
the sweetheart Of the fellow, who was
down town with some friends. The fel.
low, finding the door open, entered the
house, went to the bed room of the girls,
and proceeded 20 install himkelf in bed
with the eldest of the two girls occupying
the couch. She was awakened by his
laying hands upon ke5 person, and
jumping out Of O:d she ran screaming
down stairs, calling for help. The fellow
then turned his at ention to the youngest
girl, aged about eleven, and also awakened
her. The two had quite a scutiis in the
room, but the little girl succeeded in get
ting away from him and ran down stairst 10
her older ster, who was still crying for
help. The fellow then dressed himself
ana went down stairs, without stopping
to fasten his shoes. At the door he met
the oldest girl Of the family, who had Just
come up STREET. He fell to talking to her,
as though nothing had happened, when
the youngest girl Cane upand apprised the
sister Of what had taken lace. The fellow
denied the assertion, and, taking off one of
his shoes, he struck the little girl in the
face, cutting her under one eye. The re-
suit was two warrants, one for ssssult aud
battery on the little girl, and the other for
criminal assault. lie evadei arrest mp to

''The fret performance Of Skipped by
