THE Bridgeport yard engine of the
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Rail
road was left standing on the track in the
yards at that place on Saturday while the
enginemen were at dinner. During their
absence some boys boarded the machine
and pulled the lever, when it began to
move They were unable to reverse it,
and in their fright jumped off, leaving
the wild engine to dash with fearful speed
down the track to Bellaire. Fortunately
no trains were ON the road, and it went
straight through to the B. & o. yards and
wrecked itself against some freight cars
standing on the track.

4 DEPLOPABLE TRAGEDY.
Nm. Parker Ends lis Life Nth Pistol.

People in the neighborhood of the East
End of st. Clairsvil,e were started on
Wednesday morning by the announce
ment that William Parker had shot him
self 10 death with a revolver.
Wm. Parker and wife resided in the
same house with his aged father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Parker, on
East Main St. His occupation of late
had been that of teamster, and he was
chiefly engaged in selling and delivering
coal from the yards at the dep0ts. To all
appearances he was one of the ightest
hearted young men in the community
and one of the last to be suspected Of
brooding over either imaginary or real
trouble. Recently he had been unable to
meet some of the demands for money in
CURED in his business and had showed
some signs of trouble and for several days
his folks had noticed that he did not ap-
pear as light-hearted as usual. To others,
however, nothing unusual was apparent.
On Sabbath he was in his place in the NJ.
E. Church choir, CHEEKY and bright as
usual, and the night before his death had
attended Mr. Schofeld's singing class, of
which he was member, returning home
about 10 o'clock.
After breakfast yesterday morning
he went to the stable in the rear of his
residence to attend to his team, and upon
returning up through the back yard and
kitchen, his mother noticing his troubled
look, asked him what was the matter !?
and received the answer, "Oh, nothing,
except have no work to do~ He pass
ed on through the kitchen, in which his
wife was attending to her morning duties,
into sitting room in front of it, and a
moment later his little 5year-old daugh-
ter, who had come through the room
from the hall, passing her father, stood
in the door leading to the kitchen, and
cried, Mamma, papas got the bangp'-
meaning the revOlver-a 32-caliber Sport,
which was usually kept on top of the
clock, and before his wife could reach
the scene the shot was fired which sent
the spirit of VIM. Parker into eternity.
The ball entered his right temple, about
two inches above, and in front of the ear.
and passed downward toward his nose
and mouth. Death was instantaneous,
and the lifeless body fell prone upon the
floor. In moment afterward neighbors
gathered at the house and beheld a
piteous scene-a dead father, stretched
upon the floor, sweltering in his own
blood-a grief-stricken wife, bending
over his PROSTATE .:fOrm-two fatherless
children, and aged parents, whose hearts
were torn with anguish.
VIM. Parker was about 80 years of age.
He was esteemed a good-natured, peace
full citizen, and was member of the NJ.
E. Church. His funeral will take place
tomorrow friday at 10 o'clock.
