or Mr. John Armstrong at SIarttn's Ferry
Yesterday.


Yesterday afternoon a. one o'clock MIR.
John Armstrong, mould-Cleaner at tho
Buckeye glass works, resumed work as
usual, bat before getting fairly started had
to throw bslt on a pulley that ran hia
part Of the machinery, and mounted a
ladder leaning against the shaiting for that
purpose. While reaching over, adjusting
the belt, his sleeve caught in the pulley
and jsrtsd him around, the leather strings
which fastened his apron caught on an
iron pin extending soms few inches from
the chatting where the couplingi Is made,
and instantly the unfortunate man was
wound around the chatting, his body re-
volying with terrible rspidity.
The shSiHng in the mould shop Is about
three feet from the calling, and with the
swift revolution Of his body the mans
legs struck the timbers above, beating
them both nearly Of just bs!ow the knees,
leaving them hanging to the body by the
meresG thread OF skin. His body from the
lower extremity Of the abdomen to the
throat was badly maugled and crushed.
His head was cut in many places and one
ear torn loose. Every stitch OF clothing,
with the exception Of little bit OF sleeve
band, Was pulled from his body. His
shoes and bookings we're thrown clear
across the room, and little bits OF flesh and
bone were gathered up several yards
away.
All the mould makers were ct work
within twenty feet OF the poor victim at
the time Of his death. The engine was
n1fok1u eko0naJ and khn ,,,nnnia5 1{n,yN
and litslesa body dropped on pile Of iron
moulds Life was extinct in twenty min
uteg.
Every department Of the mill was ut
once stopped, and Mr.. John Miller cent
for an undertaken, who with the assistance
Of the workmen prepared the body for
removal to his home on Second street, op-
posite the y. & P. depot.
Mr.. Armstrong was forty.eight years old
and leaves wife and FIVE small children.
He was we'll known and highly respected
ss an industrious, sober and honest man,
and his sudden and uutlmely death will be
learned with much sorroR and regret by
bis numerous friends. AS workman he
was well likOd by his employers, steady,
faithful and competent. His place at
cleaning moulds will be hard to fill, as he
was the only man in the factory who thor.
oughly understood the run Of the numer-
GUS moulds, and he was depended upon
for their cleanliness and order. He was
soldier in Company Q, First West Vir-
ginis Infantry, and was much liked by his
comrades. The G. A. K. Post met last
evening TO take some action Regarding the
funeral, which takes place at 2P. N. to-
morrow. His vile and family have the
fullest sympathy Of oil in their heresve-

To The Editor Of he Register:
sIR:-Your Moundsville correspondent

the late controversy between the superin.

ors, and, as be gems to either see only
one side Of the matter, or TO persistently
misTepressnt the facts, it may be Of inter.
est to come Of your readers to be told the
truth.
The quarrel last spring over the con.
frmation OF Superintendent Peck had the
effect OF demoralizinG both guards and
ConviCts to such an extent that the disCi-
pline at the institution became unreason.
ably bad. The abolishiDg Of severe pun.
ishment Tor offences against the rules
made 1t very difficult for the new officers
to overcome this state Of affairs, and the
convicts have naturally become inefficient
servants. The policy Of the present Sup.
eEintendont ia frequently changing the
shop guards, IS many ss seven or eight
guards having served in some Of the shops
during the past nine months, Ia calculated
to incrsass this disorder. The rules OF
the Institution require the guards to fam.
Harris themselves with the work in their
respective shops, that they may be able to
judge as to what constitutes fair, reason
able and effective day's work, and that
they may know whether convict works
faithfully and diligently" OF otherwise.
Such INTELLIGENT supervision on the part Of
the State officer becomes impossible under
the system Of frequent changes now in
vogue, and tbs contraCtora suffer in con-
sequence.
The present controversy Ia based upon
protest on the part OF the contractors
sgainsE the lack OF discipline and o de.
mand on their part for its enforcement.
No charge has ever been made against
Major Robertson on the ground Of his be-
ing knight Of Labor, and no contractor
asks anything except fulGllment on the
part o. the State OF its contract obligations
with them according to their true mean
ing and intent. The charge "that the
contractors want the flesh and blood OF
the unfortunate beings" who are so much
abused as to be convicted OF crimes against
the commonwealth, is base and malicious
and the outgrowth of maudlin senti-
ment that would put q premium upon
crime and makea conviction and sentence
to the penitentisry honorable.
At the Board meeting referred to, no
action was taken for tho relief Of the con-
tractoru, IS far as we are advised, the
Superintendent forentalling such by the
declaration THAT II the Board passes an
order to me in FIVE minutes to restore the
old guards to the BhopB, will disregard
It," the only course left for the contractors
being to 20 To work aud look to the State
to reimburss th0m fox the damages they
may suffer.
Please use as much or CO little Of this for

benefit OF Q square deal before the public
and let us have done with this childish
