A Martins Ferry Mans Limb Is Hacked
With Sharp Knives.

Yesterday morning Ross Pickens who
lives Just back Of Martins Ferry met
with a terrible accident at the Belmont
Brick and Tile works. Mr.. Pickens who
is the engineer at the works went up on
a platform, where the clay is hauled 10
be dumped into the mud machine, Tor
the purpose of fixing something which
got out of order and in turning away after
getting through with his work his foot
slipped and went through trap that
the clay is dumped into. His foot was
caught on the rolls beneath. One OF
these rolls Is smooth while the other IS
filed with knives running lengthWlse
about an inch in depth and revolving at
the rate of about nine hundred reVolu-
tions per minute with only small
space between the two rolls.
Mr.. Pickens caught on each SIDE OF
the hatchway with his hands as he was
going down, and called on Mr.. James
Meiskell to shut the engine down which
was Immediately done. By this time
Mr.. Pickens' leg had been drawn into
the machine to the knee and cut into
pulp. 1t was found necessary to take
part of the machine apart before the
unfortunate man could be released.
He was taken to the home Of Mr..
Howard Hopkins and DR.. Hobensa;k
called. Upon examinationit was found
necessary to amputate the limb just
below the knee. Drs. Hobensack,
Henry and Blackford performed the
peration. Last evening the unfortu-
nate man was resting as well as could
be expected.

A SAD CASE.
The would-Be Suicide Slowly sinking In
the Benwood Lookup.


the Benwood Lookup.
William Butler, the man who made
two unsuccessful attempts TO take his
life at the Benwood lookup, was re-
ported considerably worse yesterday.
Butler was not under arrest, as hereto
fore published, when be cut his throat,
but entered the City Building and de-
liberately drew knife from his pocket
and attempted to commit suicide, while
no person was about. The ugly cash IN
his throat was sewed up by DR.. Hask-
ms, and when he attempted TO hang
himself on Monday all the stitches were
loosened and the work had TO be done
again.
Three men were employed to
watch him day and night,
but although he did not lack
medical treatment, he did not receive
proper attention. Mayor Mahood did
all that was possible for the unfortunate
man, but the city has no fund for such
purposes, and the county authorities,
although notified, took no action. Yes
terday afternoon he was deiirious and
much worse. The proper authorities
should take hold of the case at once and
send Butler to a hospital, as allowing
him to slowly die in the lookup is treat
meut little short Of inhuman.
Mayor Mahood yesterday received a
dispatch from a relative Of Butler in
Richmond, Va, stating that he could
not come 10 Benwood, but would pay
funeral expenses if he should die. But
Ter was once a prosperous business man,
but under the influence Of drink sank so
low that he determined to take his own
life, as the only relief from his appetite

a GOOD MAN GOING.
Local Freight Agent t c. Stevenson, of
the ID. x o., Resigns.

Local Freight Agent t. c. Stevenson OF
the ID. d o., Resigns.
Mr.. T. c. Stevenson, for the past
three years local freight agent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Wheel
ing, has rendered his resignation TO the
Company, to take effect on the last day
OF August, and it has been accepted.
The change will be learned with great
regret by the business men, manufac-
turers, and shippers generally or THIS
city and vicinity. During the three
years Mr.. Stevenson has been in charge
at the freight house in this city, he has
given the utmost satisfaction to all pat
rons OF the road, as we'll as the higher
officers OF the Company, and better
man never held down the herculean
job of keeping the platform clear
and freight moving. Prior TO Mr..
Stevenson's coming things about
the freight depot did not run along
with that smoothness and facility which
ought TO characterize the transaction OF
business at such an important point,
but with his introduction into the Office
a change for the better at once began,
and since high standard OF efficiency
has marked his administration, result
ing in the greatest satisfaction to al
concerned.
During his tenure OF Office Mr.. Ste
venson made early and fast friends Of
all connected with the offices In this
city, and his fellow employees heard the
news of his voluntary retirement from
the Wheeling Office with much regret.
The good wishes OF all will follow Mr..
Stevenson in his new position at Bloch
BROS. Mr.. J. X. Graham, OF Mounds
vile, will be the new freight agent.

few days, and which no doubt will be
found at all the leading grocery stores.
1t is said TO be a delightful cake, and
II name goes for anything, 1t ought

l took bottle of your diarrhoea remedy
from the shelf; gave him doses sold him
the bottle. and gave him the bottle, and
told him would give him the money
back if it did no good. He came back
next morning and said the single dose
did its work so well, that be not only kept
up his place during the afternoon, but
dad worked all night; and had the price
of the dose gave him been three dollars,
it would have been cheap. ] would fur

II you are contemplating a trip for
business or pleasure it will be wellto re-
member that tine Burlington Route is still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than mere
mention for the reason that every man.
woman and child in the country is SO
familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule "ELI'
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and ST Lonis.
Heretofore we had but one daily tram
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being a night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account OF the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph In the morning, placing the passen-
ger In st. Louis in the early evening OF
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.
