PIONEERS DAY.
Notable Gathering of Pioneers at the
Marietta Celebration General Ewing
the Orator of the Day.

Notable Gathering of Pioneers at the
Marietta Celebration - General Ewing
the Orator of the Day.
MARIETTA, o., July 1S.-The pioneers at
the Marietta centennial had a jolly re-
union for an hour this morning before the
regular exercises commenced. There
were present a great number of very old
persons. Among them were three whose
ages aggregated three hundred and two
years. There are more persons over
eighty years of age in this, the first coun-
ty of the Northwest Territory, than in any
other county in the West. The early part of
the day being given up to an informal re-
ception for old people, brought together a
remarkable gathering of silver haired
men and women. Mayor Coulter well
coined the pioneers of the Northwest to
the city in a short speech, and handed
Governor Foraker a handsome gavel,
which he presented to General Thomas
Ewing the president of the day. The
gavel was the gift of the Women'S Cen
tennial celebration, and is to be placed
in sealed iron box, there to remain till
the bi-centennial of the origin of civil
government in the Northwest in 1888.
General Ewing, after accepting the gavel,
was introduced by Hon. George N. Wood
bridge. who eulogized his father, Senator
Ewing, in very happy way, and declared
that General Ewing was a "chip of the
old BLOCK" upon whose capable ShouI-
ders the mantle of his distinguished
father had fallen.
General Ewing wore a cluster of buck
eyes in his button hole and sat on chair
lavishly trimmed with buckeyes. His
audience was a splendid one and had in it
the greatest number of descend
ants of the colonists who came
to Ohio in 11SS that could be brought
together. The name of Ewing is one that
is widely known in the West, and there
was great desire to hear the repre-
sentative of the family speak here to day.
There were special excursions to the
Ewing meeting, and the audience, of
course, was q great one. The thorough
and brilliant speech of General Ewing
was happily supplemented by an ode
written for the occasion by Rev. w. L.
Lee, OF st. Louis, who is among the sweet
est of Western singers

Braided Wire Taking the Place OF the Old
Style Of Mattresses.

Braided Wire Taking the Place OF the Old
Style Of Mattresses.
''What is that mattress filed with?"
asked a customer in an uptown furni-
ture store.
Nothing" replied the salesman
1--WE have mattresses filled with hair,
husks. but that particular one is
empty" The gentleman pressed with
his hand on the mattress. 1t seemed
softer than the one filed with hair,
and resumed it's original shape better
than one filled with feathers. 1t was
made of steel wire twisted and inter
woven 1t was covered with ticking,
and did not look different from an or
binary hair mattress. The pillows
were of the same material. This new
method of upholstering has been sue
cessfully applied to covering chairs
and sofas, as well as bed furniture
Physicians have pointed out the gen
eral unhealthfulness of pillows and
mattresses which are stuffed with
feathers, hH'-. or similar soft materi-
ais, but ey continue to be used,
mainly BECAUSE there is no substitute
that is free from objection. When
the padding Is fresh and new it is
admirable, being light, elastic, porous
and cool. With use it absorbs gases
and vapors, and becomes unhealthy.
1t affords lodgment for parasites, and
is liable to become infected with germs
of disease. After period of use the
filling requires renovation or renewal.
When overhauled by the furniture
man there is no certainty that the ma
terial is not mixed with that from
other sources, or replaced by an infe-
rior quality. The danger of infection
is of course the greatest among the
lower classes. The materials used to
fill cheap mattresses are such inferior
substances as shavings, cocoanut fiber,
corn husk, shoddy refuse and even old
rags. Many of the substances are
used over and over again, and are
filthy and dangerous to health.
Metallic mattresses are to do away
with all of these objections. They
will not afford lOdgment for moths,
bugs and other insects, or for the
germs of smallpox, scarlet fever or
the Group. They are well ventilated
and with a thin covering are cool in
summer, but with a blanket laid on
them become warm in winter. They
are especially desirable in hotels,
boarding-houses and hospitals, where
a person is in doubt as to the last oc-
cupant of the bed. The braided wire
is said to be an excellent covering for
easy chairs and sofas, and in time it
may be used to upholster seats in cars
and public buildings. IN Y World.

So AwfuIlY Frightened.

A woman weighing about 215 pounds
plunged wildly around in a frightfully
dangerous manner on crowded street
the other day. She was evidently
looking for some one, for she breath
lessly gasped out:
Charles! Oh, Charles! Where has
he gone? Oh, Charles!'
Charles had been carried forward by
the crowd, and when he stopped a
lamp post had hidden him from view.
When the big woman saw him she
plunged forward, fell heavily on his
thir teen-inch chest, crushing him
against the lamp post and sobbed out:
"Oh-Charley- my-dear-h
1 lost sight of you and 1 was so fright
ened at finding myself alone in this

Three Trainmen Killed.

LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, July IA fatal ac-
cident occurred yesterday morning at
Suisbacher Station, on the Santa Fe rail-
road, eighteen miles south of here. a
freight train, southbound, jumped the
track and eleven cars were piled in a
shapeless mass. Conductor Haynes was
on the engine. and he with Engineer Dale
and Fireman Joe Shopper were instantly
crushed out of all resemblance to human
shape. The conductor and engineer were
pinned by the heavy frame of the cab to
the boiler head and the fireman was buried
under the tender. The two brakemen
escaped with their lives, but one of them
was severely scalded. Haynes and Dale

Most and the Dynamite Plot.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-When told that
certain Anarchists had been arrested at
Chicago on the charge OF being concerned
in new dynamite plot Johan Most
seemed surprised, but said that he did
not believe it was true. ''When police
men discover so-called dynamite plots"
he continued, sit is safe to assume that
the policemen themselves are the authors
of the exploits. Several times during the
past few months strangers have come into
my Office and have offered to blow up all
the public buildings in Chicago if would
sanction such a proceeding. Of course, /
paid no attention to them, and Il am con-
WINGED that they were either some OF
Pinkerton's men or disguised policemen"

FLOOD DISASTER.
Heavy Rains Cause Fearful Loss OF Life tn
West Virginia.

west NlrBlnI8.
WHEELING, w. Va, July 20.-A terrific
rain storm lasting an hour and q quarter
prevailed here last evening, flooding cell
lars along Main street and distributing
debris from the hillsides along many
thoroughfares, rendering them impass-
able.
About ten O'Clock, while a number of
people were standing on one OF the bridges
of the Baltimore & Ohio spanning Wheel
ing creek, watching the swift flow Of the
waters bearing wrecked shanties and
debris of all kinds, the bridge suddenly
gave way, participating all who were
standing on it into the food.
The number of people who were on the
bridge is not known; the estimates vary
rom twenty to thirty. Eight persons
were rescued at a distance of a mile from
the point where the bridge was located,
and it is feared that from ten to twenty
persons have persisted. The city is in
tensely agitated over the disaster and
persons whose wherea bouts can not be as
certained are said to be among the num-
Der.
At Caldwell's run, in the lower part of
the city, four dwellings were swept away
by the flood and eleven persons drowned.
4 young man named Homan, the wife and
four children of Thomas Hawley, three
members of the family of John Stensell, a
dairyman, and two visitors at his house
are among those believed to be drowned,
and it is feared there are more to be in
cluded in the number.
The railroad tracks on both sides of the
river above and below the city have been
covered with debris from the hillside and
bridges have been either washed away or
SO much weakened as to be unsafe. A
large picnic party from the city are on a
train on the Panhandle between two wash =
outs and can not reach the city. The track
of the Elm Grove railroad for two miles is
completely wrecked with one bridge gone,
leaving at least 800 picnickers at Wheeling
park who must walk home.
On the Ohio side great damage has been
done, though so far no lives are reported
lost.
& Paul, wholesale grocers, was supposed
to have been drowned, as he was on the
wrecked Baltimore G Ohio bridge when it
fell. No street cars We're running, the
bridge which SPAWNED Caldwell's run in
the city having gone out.
The storm was the most severe known
here since 1896.
a substantial bridge on the suburban
Elm Grove motor line at Leatherwood was
washed away. The loss in the city will
reach So, 200, and the damage to crops in
the country is inestimable.
Every hour or so new fatalities are re-
ported. A man named Keltz was washed
away by Bogg's run and he and his horse
drowned.
Four lives were lost at Elm Grove, five
miles east.
