Death of James Jepson.

The sad intelligence reached the city
yesterday from Parkersburg of the sud-
den death of James Jepson of this city.
Mr.. Jepson arrived in Parkersburg last
Sunday night and took rooms at the
Buckingham. He was in the employ of
the Hanna-Clemens Paper Co., and the
object of his trip to Parkersburg was
the establishment of wholesale paper
supply house in that city. He was dill
gently at work all day Monday further
ing the project, and up to noon on
Tuesday, when he began to suffer
with an attack of cholera morbus, which
rapidly became violent. A physician
was Immediately summoned, who did
all in his power to relieve the patient.
He suffered severely until seven o'clock
yesterday morning, when a telegram
was sent to his wife apprising her of his
serious condition. DR.. Campbell was in
attendance, and Rev. Father Hickey
was also with the patient and admins
tered the last rites of the church to the
dying man. Mr.. Jepson sank rapidly
until noon when death occurred. The
deceased was about forty years Of age,
and leaves wife and six children. Mr..
Jepson came here from England, and
was for time bookkeeper at M. Reil-
ly's wholesale house.

PROBABLY AN IMPOsTER.
A Stranger Tells Well-Known Citizens
That Big Fortunes Await Them In Eng

That Big Fortunes Await Them IN Eng
land.
About week ago a stranger, giving
his name as Radcliffe, and claiming to
have came direct from England, called
at the residence of Mr.. William Rat
cliffe, the well-known foreman OF de-
partment at the Whitaker Mil, who
resides on South Jacob street, and told a
story, which was substantially as fol-
lows: A great-grandfather OF Mr.. Will
lam Ratcliffe's father had died in Eng
land years ago, and left ali immense for
tune, which he had acquired in South
America. This money was deposited
in the Bank of England and with the
accumulated interest amounted to an
enormous sum. He left several chill
dren, who had since died, and
there were but few heirs liv-
ing. MesSrs. William, James and
Thos. Radcliffe, all OF the South Side, be-
ing among the number, and their share
of the fortune would amount to about
$50, 900 each. The story was very
plausible one, the fact that an adver-
tisement had been running in several
newspapers in this country for heirs for
some Radcliffe estate, giving an addi-
tional weight OF probability to the tale.
The stranger stayed there that night
and ate dinner the next day, after
which he mysteriously disappeared.
A stranger, who from the description
given was presumably the same man,
called upon Mr.. John WaterhouSe, of
the firm Of Waterhouse Bros, day or
two afterward, but this time his name
was Waterhouse. He related story
similar in many particulars to
that told to Mr.. Radcliffe, and
left MIR. Warehouse, ostensibly to call
upon his father, Mr.. Stephen Water
house, Sr., in the Eighth ward, but he
has not been heard from since. The
wealthy relative in this instance was an
uncle Of Mr.. Warehouses;, and as Mr..
w. never had any such relative, the
whole story was undoubtedly a pure
fabrication.
The parties who were visited by the
stranger give little precedence to his
story. He did not ask for money, how
ever and his object can only be sur
missed

FATAL ACCIDENT.
ABS O. BRAKEMAN MER1S BIS DEATH on
TIE RAIL.
Robsrt Pugh Crushed by the Cars While Making
Running Switch Yesterday
Morning.

A shocking accident occurred on the
Baltimore & Ohio road, opposite
Schmulbach's brewery, on Thirty-frst
street, shortly before noon yesterday,
by which Robert Pugh, brakeman on
freight train No. 46 met his death.
The train was going west, and Pugh
was making running switch. He was
standing upon the steps Of the engine,
and attempted to run across the track,
in front of gondola car which was 60
ing the same direction on a parallel
track. In alghting he slipped in a
pool Of water, and fell across the rail.
Before he could recover his feet, the car
was upon him, and he was crushed be-
meath its weight, both wheels passing
over his abdomen, almost cutting
him in two. His right leg was
almost severed from the body,
and his left leg cut at the hip joint,
hanging to the body by a shred Of
flesh. The car dragged him nearly
twenty-five feet. The members of the
train crew were eye-witnesSes of the &C
cident, but were powerless to do any
thing for him. He lived for about five
minutes, and appeared to be conscious
during that time and suffering intense
pain. He asked If his leg was cut off,
and piteously implored the bystanders,
'for Gods sake, somebody kill me-"
About one o'clock the body was taken
to Blatchley's undertaking establish
ment and prepared for burial. Coroner
Phillips was notified by telephone, but
decided an inquest unnecessary. After
viewing the remains he brought
in verdict in accordance with
the above facts. The remains were
taken to the residence of a relative on
Eighteenth street, his home being on
Nineteenth. He was 80 years Of age,
and leaves wife and three children to
mourn his untimely demise. He was
born and reared at Moundsville, and
has been an employe of the B. & O. for
several years, enjoying the confidence
and esteem of his fellow workmen and
his employers. He has lived in Wheel
ing but short time. The funeral will
probably take place at Moundsville.

The Remains of the Suicide. john Behr-
niger, Caught Floating Down the Rivor.
The body of John Behringer, the aged
German who has been operating the
Horkheimer pelt tannery, at the mouth
of Bogg's Run, and who committed sui
eide by walking out into the river Mon
day afternoon and drowning, was re-
covered yesterday morning at Benwood.
About o'clock Tom Roy saw body
floating down in the middle OF the river
and called the attention OF Patrick
Scanlon, man who sells water in Ben
wood, to the object. He entered skiff,
and securing the body, brought it
to the shore, where 1t laid until in the
afternoon, Constable Sprouts taking
charge of it. At noon Coroner Harry
Riddle held an inquest over the re-
mains, and a verdict of suicide by
drowning was reached.
The only cause assigned for the rash
act which Behringer committed, was
furnished by himself in letter in
which he stated that he was tired OF
living, and might as well die at one
time as another. All the money which
he had in bank, was drawn out, and
sent TO a relative in the west, and all OF
his personal effects were disposed OF be-
fore his death.

State law makes that part OF it manda-

the power to weaken the State law by

that a test of a Sunday ordinance that

result in throwing the ordinance out al
