SAD DROWNING.
TEE FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT on TEE NEW
BRIDGE.
Mack Martin, One Of the Workmsn, Slips From
Rope, Falls Into the River, and
Meets His Fate.
Yesterday morning occurred the first

Yesterday morning occurred the first
fatality connected with the construction
of the new bridge of the Wheel
ing Bridge Company, spanning the
Ohio between the Isalnd and the
city proper. 1t was the drowning Of
Mack Martin, one of the workmen, at
about half-past eight o'clock.
At that hour the pile-driver was
moored below the east shore span, made
secure by heavy cable attached to the
false-work. Martin was working on
the barge, upon which the pile-driver
is stationed, and started across tightly
drawn rope, connected with boom
there, when he missed his footing and
fell into the river. The distance across
the rope was about FIVE feet. He imme-
diately sank beneath the surface, there
being about thirteen feet of
water at that point, notwithstand-
ing the fact that IL was
but twenty feet from the shore. The
swift current carried the unfortunate
man down the river, and be arose TO
the surface about Is feet below the
point where he fell in, giving an
agonizing cry for help. The engineer
threw a rope to him, bus he was on his
back, and the rope passed under him.
AS he could not swim, his body again
disappeared, and was not seen after
wards 1t is supposed that the suction
was so great that he was drawn under
the barge.
Two skiffs were secured, and grapp-
ling irons, and eight willing fellow
workmen at once instituted a search
for his body. The river was dragged
all afternoon, as far down as the mouth
of the creek, but the efforts proved
fruitless.
Martin was married man, and leaves
a wife and one child. He was about
thirty-six years Of age, and lived be-
tween Newcastle and Hammondsburg,
Pa. He was one OF the oldest men in
point of service in the employ Of Baird
Bros, the contractors in charge OF the
bridge work, and was sober and indus
trious. He has several times had charge
of gangs of wOrkmen. He had been
sick lately, and only returned TO
work about week ago, and one of the
workmen stated that he had been talk
ing about quitting and returning to his
home.

The City Assessment.

The Board of Equalization and APP
pealS met yesterday morning and exam
med the land book from the First ward.
There were no petitions from that ward.
The Second ward will be taken up to-
day. The Board is discussing the queS-
tion of assessment, and has the Solicitor
looking up the appointment OF assessors.
The matter has not been settled, but it
looks as though the present ordinance
would have to be repealed if other asses
SOrS are to be appointed; otherwise, the
present two men would likely have to
do the work. With the present ordi-
nance repealed, the Council could APP
point as many assessors as they chose,
but the fact that the present assessors
hold over until next year is somewhat
in the road.

Out for Saturday.
There was a meeting of the general

The front of the Assembly Hall has

Card From Seventh Ward Committee.
WHEELING, August 25, 1891.

WHEELING, August 25, 1891.
To the Editor or ne Register.
SIR-In your report of the proceed
ings of the Committee on Fire Depart
ment at last nights meeting, contained
in your issue of the 25th inst, there are
one or two things that we would like To
comment upon.
First, then: From the report of the
InteUigencer there appears to have been
a great deal of indecent haste on the
part of Mr.. Bailey, but only little in
ferior TO that of the balance Of the COM
mittee, in "laying on the table" the
paper presented for their consideration.
No sooner read than "by unanimous
vote laid upon the table"
Next we take up Mr.. Healey: In re-
gard TO him we will say, that there is a
lie out somewhere, and before we get
through with the matter the public shall
Judge who tells it.
Mr.. Healy says, sit is also untrue
that have or ever had q copy of the
paper spoken of."-this to the Council
Committee. To committee OF gentle
men who waited upon him, he said: IL
have a copy of the paper in my pos
session, and will produce it at the proper
time" How do the two statements look
side by side?
Healy further says before the Council
Committee, referring to McClyment:
"Pll keep him there if 1t is the last
thing ever do"
To the committee of gentlemen wait
ing upon him, be said: II am both viii
ling and anxious to remove McClyment,
and will do it just as soon as can get
out of the written agreement with En-
merth." How are these for twin state
mentS?
Mr.. Healcy before Council Committee,
In which there are a few Republicans,
and Mr.. Healey before committee of
gentlemen waiting upon him, appears
to be two different men. Oh, yes
there are few, but very few, (remem-
Der, Mr.. Haley Republican votes in
Council.
Mr. McClyment says, referring to the
financial part Of the transaction: The
assertion is false, and defy anyone to
show anything to the contrary"
Mr.. Emmerth said: Il am under
financial obligations to McClyment and
felt bound TO pay him back in this way.
How do these groove?
We have taken up this matter, and
we intend to stand by it and push II
through to the end, and we want all the
gentlemen concerned to remember what
we say. II the Committee on Fire De-
partment persists in the stand they took
last night, the responsibility must rest
with them. This is a matter that the
Seventh ward intends to see through.
Don't forget that!

AMUSE " ENTS.
"Bottom of the Sea-"

The most recent successful spectacu-
lar play, THE Bottom Of the Sea, :"
will be presented at the Opera House
Friday and Saturday evenings with a
matinee. The piece is decided novelty
and its production in other cities has
attracted crowds. 1t is said TO be one
of the most marvellous scenic plays OF
this generation, and 10 SAVIOR of the
weird imaginativeness OF Jules Verne.
The scenes are said TO be artistic and
mechanical triumphS in their way, pre-
sented with surprising elaboration Of
detail. An ocean steamer, the laying
OF d submarine cable, the wreck of a
vessel, and the rescue Of the paSsen-
gers are all wildly pictured. The height
of this sensational realism is shown in
the descent of divers to the ozark, I'M
fathomed caves of the ocean," the re-
pairing of broken cable, and an at
tack on the divers by an enormous
octopus. The company presenting the
piece is said to be good, and fine pro-
duction throughout is promised.
