Samuel Lawder Meets Horrible Death
at Beliaire.

The wires brought the startling
intelligence to the city yesterday
about noon that Samuel Lawder had
been killed at Bellaire. 1t proved
to be only too true and the sad news
was carried from lip to lip until it
was spread over the entire city. 1t
was the same old yet ever new story
of attempting to board a moving
train. He wanted to catch the
west, bound passenger train on the
B. & O. r. r. which leaves Bellaire
about IL o'clock. He was a few
moments late and the train was NOV
ing out from the depot when he ar
rived on the platform. He attempt
ed to board the train and caught the
rear railing of the smoking car in
such way as to be swung between
the two cars. He was able to hold
on for a moment but, losing his
hold, he fell on the track in front
OF the truck of the other cars. The
body was horribly mangled, death
being instantaneous.
The remains arrived in the city
this morning on No. 5. They were
taken to the family residence on
Eighth street.
Mr.. Lawder has lived in the city
for many years and is widely known.
He formerly travelled for the whole
sale liquor house of Gels & Co. For
the last year he has been represent
ing Paxton Bros. & Co., of Cincin-
natl.
He leaves wife and two children
to mourn his loss, one little boy
of four or five years and the other a
girl about fourteen years Of age.
The latter was at school when the
news came, and was gotten home on
the statement that her mother was
sick, not knowing of her fathers
horrible fate until she reached home.
The members Of the family are
frantic in their grief and refuse to
be eomforted. Where yesterdays
sun found a joyous family to days
finds one wrapped IN the deepest
mourning.
The remains were tenderly cared
for at Bellaire by Black Prince
Lodge K. of P. The entire Lodge
escourted the remains to the depot
and the following delegates were
sent to take charge of the body
while on the train: Messrs. FL. III.
Gill, w. S. Smith, Alexander
Somers and G. E. Morgan. They
were met at Cambridge by 0. F.
Palmer, of Phoenix Lodge K. 0. P.
-ZanesUille Times Recorder, Feb
rudry 18th.

Jas. Dyche of this city.

PUSHING ALONG.

The efforts of those interested in
pushing along the so called booms
adjoining the town are being con.
tinued, and we believe they are meet
ing with success. They have now
under consideration, propositions,
that if successfully arranged will add
materially to our industries as we'll
as to our population. A fair esti-
mate of growth would be from 1900
to 1000 people ere the close of the
summer of 1891. The selection of
good solvent industries and their
construction will furnish solid
basis for the erection of houses to
accommodate the families of the
workers. 1t is better to make a
sure and steady growth in this way
than to attempt too much. The
placing of stock is going on gradual
ly and in such a manner that it will
be more sure, than those booms gen
orally are, OF proving a good invest
ment and can be utilized on the
market. Then with the money that
will be expended here in the erection
of a U. S. Building indicates pros
porous and busy season in our town.

CRUSHED BY A ROCK.
A Singular Accident on the Rail--0ne
Killed and Three Injured.

PiTTsBuRo, Pa, February. I6.-
An immense rock, weighing at least
two hundred pounds, fell from Du-
quesne Heights about $50 o'clock
this morning, and crashed into a
passenger coach of the Washington,
penn express on the Pan Handle
Road, instantly killing one passen-
ger and seriously injuring three
others. Their names are:
& Killed-Miss Clara Fleming, aged
nineteen ears; brains crushed out
and badly mangled.
Injured-J. F. Donahue, aged
twenty years; badly hurt about the
head and chest.
Miss Mamie Baldwin, aged eigh-
teen years; cut about the head,
breast and arms.
Unknown young man, badly bruis-
ed.
The victims were all students of
Duff7s College in this city, and were
en- their way to school when the ac-
cident happened.
1t had been raining steadily for
nearly twenty four hours, and land.
slides were reported at various points
along the road. The Washington
express was due here at nine o'clock
and had just entered the shadows Of
Duquesne Heights, which are oppo-
site the city, when the rock came
laundering down the mountain side.
1t crashed into the center of the
coach, completely wrecking it. Miss
Fleming and Mr.. Donahue were sit
ting in the same seat, but the young
lady occupied the window side. Be-
fore she had time to escape, the rock
came through the car, and crushed
her to death. Donahue made leap
and escaped with serious cuts and
bruises. The Others were struck by
pieces of the rock, which broke as it
fell. A scene of wild confusion fol-
lowed, and several young ladies
tainted, but order was soon restored,
and after detaching the wrecked car
the train was brought into Pitts
burg. Miss Fleming's body was
sent to her home at Washington,
Pa, and the injured were taken to
hospital. No blame is attached to
the railroad as the accident was I'M
avoidable.

A Woman's Brutal Husband Held Her
Between Red-hot Tonqs.

WILKEsBARRE, PA, February, Is.
Edward McMullen murdered his
wife Ann, aged fifty years, at Stun
ervilIe, near West Pittston, to day
after torturing her. Both were
beastly drunk, and it is not known
exactly how the murder was commit
ted. But from all the circumstances
it is evident that he took pair of
blacksmith's tongs, heated them in
the fire, and put them around his
wife, burning her to death. Her
body was frightfully mutilated. The
husband was arrested, but will say
nothing. The room in which the
deed was committed looked like a
slaughter pen.

BUSINESS ON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.

There is Bill before the Legisla-
ture asking that the citizens of
Berkeley be allowed to vote for
100000 worth of Bonds or so much
as may be required to bear per
cent. interest, interest to be paid
semi-annually, to be applied to the
Piking and Matchmaking of our
Roads.
We now spend $4,000 in money
per annum and have 1900 tithables
two days each, equal to So, 800, MAX
ing a total of $13 800, we propose to
take of this $4,000 fund, $4,000
to pay interest on the Bonds which
are to run for 80 years, take the bal
ance for sinking fund and to keep
up the by-roads not Piked, as soon
as we have any one read completed
for five miles put thereon Gate,
charging a Toll just sufficient to
keep such Road in repair, which re
lieves the County from any expense
ever thereafter.

have as good Roads as any of our
Sister Counties with not one dollar
extra taxation.

then will Old Berkeley be ready for

900 spent on your County Roads in
the past Is years and we are but
little better off and the money gone

changing our plans and running them

advantage of these high prices and
put their crops in the market be-
cause they had a good turnpike, you
are mud-bound and cannot deliver
