4 At&5zl.Es universal sorrow,

fTITi5sSJnE{lSTNs lief that the body
was carried OIL. into the river by the
strong current and swept far down be-
fore i found Il lodgment.
As was stated in yesterdays lSrELLi-
GEycEG the two divers telcgraphed Tor
arrived from Cleveland early yesterday
morning, but their suits and apparatus,
having been shipped by another train
did not reach them till late in tho fore
noon, SO that no attempt TO do any
thing was possible till the afternoon.
About 9 o'clock the divers went down
to the stono bridge, the southern end
OF which was the scene OF the accident,
and prepared 10 mako descent One
OF them put on his diving suit and de-
sccnded, while tho other remained on
the abutlncnt OF the bridge to attend to
the working OF the pumps which fur
nshed air TO tho man Mt tho bottom oil
the creek. Alter being down some time.
tile diver came to the surface and said
that he was not able to find any signs OF
the body.
\ fire had been built on the stones,
and the man was warmed up, and after
getting further instructions as torwhore
the body would probably be, if near
that point at all he went down again.
This time he found the stone which fell
and struck, Mr.. Carey in its descent, and
the car it WAS on, but still no sign OF the
body. After another breathing spell
he went down u third time, but the trip
was rs iruitless OF result rs before, and
the search was then given over for the
time being. a
The work is very severe and trying on
imam in such weather as this. The man
wore no gloves, and looked, when he
came out OF the water and took the he'll
metod, asst he had been par-boiled. Drs.
Charles Frisscll and John L. Pipes were
on the spot during the search, but MS
spectators only. la
The banks OF the creek were lined
with people, and scores OF persons ven
tured out on the stone arch, although
its sides were covered with ice, and it
was difficult and dangerous to attempt
TO climb about over them. The tempo
rary wooden bridge was fnll OF people
till it gave signs OF being dangerously
weak, when the police cleared all the
people oil, and ropes were stretched
across each end and two officers put at
each end to prevent anybody from CO.
ing on the bridge to stand. The street
cars were let through and few wagons
passed at their own risk. The rising
water had made the piles which sup
port the bridge very shaky, and the
bridge was not safe. After the people
We're cleared off it they gathered across
Main street just south OF the bridge,
and were SO thick there that they
stretched IRON one side OF the street to
the other, and even over into the va
cant space formerly occupied by tho
brick houses which fell in some time
ago. j;Ii
The divers will make one or two visits
10 the bottom OF tho creek this forenoon,
and will direct their search to the space
between the piles on which the false
work OF the stone bridge rests. 1t is
thought that perhaps the body might
have caught in these open spaces, al
though the great force OF the water
there would make it very improbable
that this is tho case. 1t is more likely,
since the body is not beneath the stone,
tI1t tho nII,, ~ IL,
the opening in the timber work under
the arch.
The divers, Messrs. Wilson and WEIGH,
nre in the employ OF l.. p. & ]. A.
smith, Of Cleveland, who have frequent
y furnished Paige, Carey & Co. with
divers for use in their work.
a telegram was yesterday received
from Mr.. Paige, oil New York, Mr..
CGrey's partner, saying that his wifes
Illness would prevent his coming to
Wheeling, but that gentleman repro
sentlng him would arrive here this
morning to look after his interests. In
the meantime, and hereafter, Mr.. Will
lam Lathrop, who has been with Mr..
carey Tor ten years or more, and with
the firm ever since, it was organized,
when tho Ohio River railroad contract
was in progress, will have charge OF tho
FIRMS interests, Mr.. Paige having tcle-
graphed instructions yesterday to that
effect.
The third member OF the firm ia Mr..
II. Paige, OF Akron, Ohio. Mr.. Carey's
vile and brother, Mr.. james Carey, ar
rived IRON Cleveland early yesterday
morning. Mrs. Carey took her bereaye-
ment very hard, but in the latter part
tho day was composed enough to re-
ccive calls from n few OF her husbands
very close friends. Mr.. Carey watched
The search for his brothers body with
interest, and aided with Intelligent
directions.
The expressions OF regret for Mr..
Garey's untimcly fate were even more
numerous yesterday than the day be-
lore. The proposition to have -monu-
inent erected for Mr.. Carey as a token
Of OIL the appreciation OF the citizens OF
Wheeling Tor thc'work Mr.. Carey has
done ios the city met with very general
approval, and there is no doubt,that ii
the effort is made there can. be, fund,
raised by popular subscription in short
timc that would pay for a very credit
able monument. ~ Et;i'{iss
