HISTORY OF THE PLATFORM.
Why the Force Bill, Reed and the Mchin-
ley Bill Were Not Endorsed.

ley lBill W ere Nol Lhh"ihS"'
Special telegram 10 the Register.
MARrINSBURG. w. Va, August 90
The REGISTER correspondent became
acquainted, this evening, with an inter-
cSting bit OF history in regard to the
formation of the platform. The inior-
nation came direct and is undoubtedly
authoritative. When the committee met
at noon Col. c. i. Hart presented a
series Of type written resolutions, which
he had carefully prepared and had stow
ed away along with his billed SHIRT
and clean collars for several weeks.
Among the resolutions were one en-
dorsing Tom Reed in fulSome phrase,
and two others endorsing the Force bill
and the Mckinley bill. After reading
them over, Col. c. b. Smith proposed
their adoption at once. q. w. Il. Black,
the member from jefferson, immediate
ly objected. He declared that
be could never consent to the
report unless all three resolutions were
stricken out. A heated debate followed.
Black soon won j. b. Menager to his
side. and finally In the interest of har-
mony Hart surrendered. Smith, how
ever, was stubborn, and it was only by
the threat of making another report
that he was induced to foregO the en-
dorsement Of Reed The fight over the
matter lasted over three hours, and in
the debate Black IS said to have used
the strongest language in the denuncia-
ton of Reed and the force bill. A com
promise was finally patched up. Reed
was not endorsed and mention OF the
force bill and Mckinley bill is studiouS
" avoided in the platform. The cor
rectness of the above information was
substantially admitted by Mr.. Black IN
conversation with the REGISTER rep
resentatiXe this evening.

A FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT MOUNDS
VILE, YESTERDAY
The Victim a 3. & O. Brakenan--ihree Men
Badly Wounded at tue ChaPhle Hill Tunnel.
4 Collision at Bsnwo0d.

About seven o'clock yesterday morn
ing. a particularly horrible railroad ac'
cident, resulting in the death OF
brakeman, occurred on the camp-meet
ing switch of the b. & o., at Mounds
Vile.
While train Of freights was moving
on the switch the brakeman, whose
name was OILERS, was walking along on
top of one of the cars, when he tripped
OF slipped in some manner, and fell
headlong to the track, between two
ears. Two wheels of one truck passed
over one of his legs, severing it from the
body, but the mangled wretch still
seemed to retain his presence OF mind,
for he partially raised himself. and was
cndeavoring to get out of the way of the
advancing rear truck OF the car, but
fell back, and was cut in two.
OILERS lived somewhere in the vicin-
ity of Littleton, and the remains were
shipped there on the eight o'clock train.

,1ol,,e PoweIIat Glover.s Gap.

Molie Powell, the little girl whose mys-
FERROUS disappearance and unaccountable
absence from her home on tue Island
has created so much excitement, has at last
been heard from. 1t seems that she sud
denly became imbued with the spirit OF
travel, and knowing that she had some rela-
tives in Glover's Gap, she started out
to reach that point. After walking over
the bridge into Wheeling proper she
Immediately wandered down into South
Wheeling where she collected considerable
small change on the pretencc of going out
of town to the funeral Of relative. At
Fords Crossing she inquired when the
next train would be along. Waterman
Madden told her she had better come up in
town to the depot where she could probably
get ticket for half price Instead of com
ing up in town, however, the girl jumped
on TO a motor and rode down to Benwood,
and from there took the train for Glover
Gap. Upon her arrival word was sent "a

Yesterday morning there was quite a
bad accident at the north end of
the big Chaplne hill railroad tunnel,
which resulted in serious injuries to
three workmen, one of whom may die.
1t seems that in pushing the heading
the men left loose rock, which ought
to have been taken down, in the
roof, and while the gang were working
during the morning the stone fell,
catching William Buckingham, Milton
Green and Reuben Carter, all colored.
When extricated Buckingham back
seemed To be broken, and the patrol
wagon was sent for, and the wounded
man was taken to the hospital There
an examination by.a physician showed
that while no bones were broken there
might be grave internal injuries, the
exact nature of which can not be aScer-
tanned for a day or two.
Milton Green, sustained a cut across
his shoulder about six inches long, and
had other slight bruises, while Carter
escaped with wound in his ankle.
Under the circumstances. it is wonder
that one or more of the men were not
killed.

DOT LEEDLE GERMAN BAND.
How Fourteen Drummers Marched Into
Wheeling Yesterday.

People in general little know to what
q considerable extent they are indebted
to the drummerS for large section OF
the fun in this world. Yesterday the
fancy Of the commercial men took a
new turn, and 1t was a source Of consid-
cradle wholesome merriment. On the
Pan Handle train that arrives here
about four o'clock IL the afternoon was
party of fourteen Of these jolly souls
from various parts OF the compass, all
bound for Wheeling. Having chewed
and digeSted all the August batch OF
Jokes, and struck bumper on yarns,
they were just wondering what they
would do next for entertainment when
the train reached Wheeling Junction.
Looking out of the window they eSpied
"leedle German band" which had
been playing for stray pennies
about the country. They Immediately
rushed this musical organization into
the smoking car, and paid their fares to
Wheeling. For the next few minutes
there was very gay and hifcrlutlng
time in the interior OF the smoker.
Arriving in Wheeling they marShallcd
the German tooterS into gear, gave the
order for the latest musical infection,
and forming into line behind the drum
mcr, marched to the Mcclure House
with all the eclat Of a Roman returning
from victory. 1t was a novel sight, and
for a while people wondered what had
broken loose. Reaching the hotel the
men of sales treated the band, and then
/ broke ranks and had a good laugh with
others over the affair

The Ten Days Session of the Mcthodists at
MnnndsNillc.

The regular annual campmeeting OF
the Wheeling District Methodist ASSo-
citation opens at MOundSville this even
ing. and the indications point TO a large
attendance and live interest. II
would be hard To select a more pic
tureSQue and refreshing spot for camp
meeting. and the large population ut
present on the scene would seem 10
show that it was appreciated. There
are between 115 and $50 families gather
ed on the grounds, many of whom have
rcveled i'm the scene through the entire
summer.
In addition TO the regular population
large number are expected in from the
country districts TO attend the camp
meeting. which is about TO open, and il
is safe TO say that hearers will not be
lacking al any of the important meet
ingS. The season will open this even
ing with memorial service in honor OF
those connected with the meetings or
association who have passed away since
the August camp Of last year. Among
the able speakers expected at this meet
ing are Bishop Joyce, Rev. Lewis Al
bert Banks. Of Boston; Rev. Mr.. Swim
dell, of Philadelphia, and Rev. Mr..

an instance of the work he is doing it
may be stated that a year ago lac took
charge OF church in Boston with a
membership of only 400, since which
time 10 has increased to 400. 1t is cX-
pected ne will bee heard several times
during the campmceting. The Silver
Lake Quartette arrived yesterday, and
will discourse vocal melody throughout
the session. This is the same quartette
that so captiyated the people during the
recent prohibition campmeetng. The
campmecting will continue until the
l31St, inclusive, and the III
tereSting services and reduced
railroad fares will no doubt attract a
large aSScmblage of people. There will
be two chief services each day, at 1890
a. m. and al 100 p. m, although in all
there will be six services each day. just
who the different speakers will be is not
