A YOUNG LADY
INSTANTLY KILLED BY BALTIMORE AND
OHIO TRAIN.
The Accident Occurs About Two Niles North
Moundsyille - The Mishap an
Unavoidable One.

A deplorable accident occurred on the
Baltimore and Ohio road, about two
miles north of MOundSville, about a
quarter of nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing. the victim being Miss Sallie Fry,
aged about - or l6 years, whose parents
reside at Glenwood, just below the
lower end of the NarrOwS. The I'M
fortunate girl was struck by the west
bound passenger train, which leaves
Moundsvile at s:45 4. m, John Cum
Minis, the well-knOwn engineer, being
in the cab Of the engine.
The girl was walking north along the
track, and a train outward bound from
this city, on the Ohio river road, at
tracted her attention, and made her OBJ
livious to the rapid approach of the Il.
& O. train behind her. Engineer Cum
Minis sounded the whistle repeatedly,
and did everything in his power TO avert
the accident, but as the train was on a
sharp curve when the girl was sighted,
it was impossible to stop in time, ana
the girl was struck and hurled from the
track without her ever being aware OF
its presence or knowing what hurt her.
The train was stopped as soon as pos
sible, and the body of the girl carried TO
her home. in the vicinity. An inquest
was not deemed necessary. The re-
mains will be taken to Cameron on the
Cumberland accommodation this morn
ing for intcrment.
Her mother is in delicate health and
grave fears are entertained for her wei
fare

Many efforts have been made to de-
sign a burglar proof safe that was really
burglar-proof, and it seems that at last
one has been secured. The great diff
ficulty heretofore has been with the
square doors which, owing to their cX-
pansion and contraction with the
changes of temperature, could not be
made tight, and it was very simple
matter for burglar to pour glycerine
in around the door and blow it off,
only very small charge being neceS-
Sary. However, it is now proposed to
use a round door, which has the form of
huge screw, and which is screwed into
its place. This makes ii impossible for
the burglar to get any explosive in
around the door. However, should he
succeed in getting in small charge,
the door could not be blown off because
Of its screw form, which is infinitely
stronger than the square form. 1t is
said that no safe of this class has ever
been opened in the many tests which
have taken place, while all of the
STANDARD" makes have been opened
many times. The screw door safes are
being introduced into this State by the
Globe Contract Company. Of Wheeling.

books or valuable papers of any kind
should keep them in fire-proof safes or

and the worry and annoyance it would
save in case of fire cannot be estimated

the cost of insurance may be sufficient
