THE ECLIPSE.
The Phenomena q Great Succsss-Lots Of
People See 1t.

The Phenomena q Great Succsss-Lots Of
People See 1t.
In the language of Artemus Ward, the
eclipse of the moon, last evening, was q
great success.
The phenomena was viewed by large
number of people all over the city, and the
utmost satisfaction was expressed with the
programme as carried out.
The eclipse began about 1855 o'clock,
the total phase began about 11;54, the
the middle of the eclipse was at
12:45 this morning, the total phase ended
at SO, and the eclipse ended at 2:45,
when the moon finally left the shadow Of
the earth.
Early in the evening the sky was OBJ
scurcd by clouds, and there was much fear
that the eclipse would not be visible, but
just about the time the moon first entered
the shadow the sky cleared up, and was
clear thenceforward.
AiOuk VII AOt oeiOOey III VIC NiSihAsy
of this Office, the eclipse was the innocent
cause of good deal of fun. Some of the
BOYS sbopt the Mcclure had prepared a
pasteboard tube, abopt fopr feet long, two
inches in diameter at one end, and eight
in diameter at the other. This had been
nicely mounted on stout stick, and soon
after the eclipse began, dozen Of those in
the scheme took up their stand on Market
street with the instrument" and pre-
tended TO be looking through it at the
moon, while one young man with a splen-
did side show voice would rattle off the
usual street telescope formula Of Here you
are now, only five cents to see the great
eclipse, only cost you half dime, phenom-
epon almost oyer, walk right up here, let
the gentleman take peep, thank You sir. u
Then the victim, who had been enticed of
the sidewalk by the clever imposition and
forced to yield up good nickle, would
get the great laugh, and would straight
way enter into the joke himself and aid in
securing another Sucker" The fun was
kept up until after midnight, but finally
the boys got too hilarious, and the police
put stop to the thing.

SUNDAY CASUALTIES.
A BALTIMORE AND OHIO FREIGHT TRAIN
SMASHED INTO KINDLING WOOD
West Of Bellairs, and two Young Men Very Badly
Woundsd-A Fatal Railroad Accident
Near Benwood.

There was q terrible smash-up on the
trans. Ohio division of the Baltimore and
Ohio road, wet of Bellaire, yesterday
morning, which resulted in the total wreck
of freight train and the serious woupding
of two young men. As freight train No.
SO was booming past Belmont station at
an early hour in the morning, for Bellaire,
a truck of one of the cars jumped the track.
After running about 200 yards the car
turned over, carrying along with it several
more, all of which were reduced to kind
ling wood. Other cars left the track fur
Their on and turned over with such force as
to roll up embankments at the sides of the
track fully Is feet high. The tumbling
over of cars continued for at least mile,
most of them being wrecked 90
that they are worthless. When the
engineer became aware Of the
accident the engine was stopped. Several
cars next to the locomotive remained in
tact and the hind part of the train was
in good condition. In the heaviest Of the
wreck, groaus were heard, and an investlga-
ton resulted in finding two boys wedged
in a wreck of four cars. After half an
hours work one of the sufferers was ex-
tricated. He could hardly walk, but re-
fused to leave until his partner was taken
ont, which was accomplished soon after.
The unfortunates managed to drag them
selves to hotel near by, where they were
attended by physician. They are inIur-
ed more than was supposed, and are con-
fined to bed.
Both boys are from Newark, o., and re-
fuse to give their names, saying they were
lust out for a "trip and did not want the
folks at home to know of their trouble.
Their escape is miraculous, as the car they
we're in is nothing but a mass OF kindhng
wood. Passenger train No. 6 followed the
wrecked train closely and the conductor
had barely time to run back after the acct
dent and stop the approaching train. A
wrecking train from Bellaire was sent for
and cleared the track by putting the de-
bris to one side of the track. Most of the
cars were empties, twelve of which are TO-
tally destroyed.

THE FLOOD SUFFERERS.

A Word to the ChsrltabIy Disposed Ladies
of wheeling.
To the Editor Of the Register:
Hundreds of our people have visited the
remains of our little neighbor, Triadel-
phia, and seen the condition almost the en-
tire population of the town is in. Will
not some of our ladies form themselves into
a committee, 60 out there to-day and ascer-
tain, by visitation from house to house,
what the most pressing needs Of each faml-
ly are and on their return call meeting OF
ladies, to which report can be made. Ii
the committee should think it better
plan, their report could be given to the
daily papers and through them the public
could be asked to relieve our neighbours
distresses more promptly than by waiting
for a meeting to be called and act on the
matter.
A drive through Triadelphia will con-
vince any one that distress is great there,
and the man who has seen the condition OF
the houses and furniture and would re-
fuse to assist its people has more OF the
elements of the brute in his makeup than
the average citizen would care to own to
having.
If anything is done in this matter it
should be done promptly. Time seems
long to persons suffering from hunger and
want while waiting for friends to relieve
them. Who will go out to-day and hear
report in the morning papers tomorrow.

Two More Bodies Found.

Two More Bodies Found.
Yesterday the bodies of two of the VIC
tins of the recent food were found in the
river below the mouth of Csldwells run.
The first one discovered was the body OF
Miss Annie wingert, it being found
below Benson's Ferry, about half-past
eight O'Clock in the morning Justice
Schultzs viewed the remains, and then they
were taken to Zimmerman's undertaking
establishment, on the South Side, where
they were prepared for burial. -,
About four O'Clock in the afternoon the
body of one of the Howley children,
Thomas j., aged three years, ten months
and three days, was found near Bloch's
tobacco factory. Coroner Scbultzs had
the body removed to his Office, and after
viewing it, sent it up to Friend q Sons
undertaking establishment.
Thorough and careful search is being
mode for the remainder of the missing. and
it is to be hoped they will soon be recov-
cred.
A Long and Safe Swim for Horse.
The Messrs. D. M. and d. s. Thornburg,
Just beyond Elm Grove, had an old family
relic in the shape of mare, twenty
eight years old, whose name was Luce,
pasturing in q field near the track. The
water caught the old nag unawares and
swept her from her feet, and not until
the railroad track was reached did she
succeed in gaining q footing. While
standing there trying to make up
her mind what had occurred, a
house came along and knocked
her into the torrent again and she swept
down through the arch of the stone bridge,
and IS the water was almost to the top,
those who saw her thought the o Id nag's
time had come. But Luce bobbed up Sc
renely on the other side and was washed
down to the Infirmsry bridge, where
whirlpool had formed in the 1nfrmsry
cornfield. After sweeping around the cir
Gle about twenty-five times, each time
making an effort to reach land, the animal
disappeared and all thought she was lost.
But the next day Luce was wandering
placidly around the Iufirmary yard with
out scratch on her body.

Notes.

Notes.
The S bridge stood the pressure in
great shape and is as staunch to-day as it
was before the food.
At a point Just east of the 8 bridge
where the natural gss pipe is broken in
two under the water, the gas escapes
with such force that the water is at times
thrown up five ieet. 1t is waste Of good
fuel.
The liverymen reaped a harvest yester-
day. They could afford to give literally
to the sufferers.
Saturday morning Messrs. George Zeock-
Ter and Fritz Weimer went through the
Second ward market and in short time
collected 500 for the relief of Henry Roth,
whose slaughter house was swept away by
the flood at Triadelphis.
Mrs. A. G. Egerter went around among
her friends and neighbors Saturday and
collected lot of clothing and eatables,
and took them out in a wagon and dis
tributed them among the needy ones at
Triadelphia and Elm Grove.
Messrs. George E. Stifel & Co., on hear
ing of the distress at Trisdelphia and other
points, sent out a wagon load Of dry goods,
selecting such stutfs as the firm thought
would do the most good.
News from Greene county, Pa, yester-
day, showed the storm to have been very
bad in that section. The damage to crops
there is great.
The Elm Grove motors run every half
hour yesterday afternoon. They have a
force of men at work relaying the damaged
track.
A certain young lady In writing Of the
food to friend in another city, which had
suffered in the same manner, desired TO
make her description strike terror to the
heart of her correspondent, and she said:
"You should have seen it; solid of wall
of water at least foot high swept down
the creek"
Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Hill who lived in a
frame house on the upper side of the rail-
road track back of the Woods residence at
Elm Grove were swept out on the roof OF
their house and landed at point some
distance up the pike. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that her husband and 3
gentleman who went to their rescue could
induce Mrs. Hill to leave her place on the
roof for something she wasn't sure OF.
Old Mrs. CASTOR, who escaped from her
house during the flood, climbed up the
side OF a hill that was almost perpendicu-
lar and one that had never been climbed
before at that point. 1t is mystery how
she eyer succeeded in accomplishing the
feat. The old lady is being taken care Of
by friends, bat it is stated that she has al
most entirely lost her reason.
A gentleman from up at Good Intent
said yesterday that the damage was great
at that point. Blayuey's saw mill was
swept away. He said the grsndest sight
he ever saw was when Sutherlsnd's dam
gave way after it had been piled full of
tinbsFs, etc.
The six O'Clock ont motor on the Elm
Grove line had q close Gail Thursday even
ing. 1t had just passed over the Leather
wood bridge when the structure was swept
away, and the water had risen so high that
the gentlemen on the train were compell-
ed to carry the ladies to a place of safety,
which was not 9 disagreeable duty if they
were compelled TO wade through water.
