Judge Cochran probably felt the loss
rs keenly us any person not OF the dead
mans own family. He had been asso.
ciatcd intimately with him for several
years, and warm friendship had
sprung up between them. He spoke
yesterday OF the unfortunate mans
many good qualities OF mind and heart
with evident feeling.
The wife Of Mr.. Paige is very Ill in
New York, which may preyelt his
coming to Wheeling at once.
DR.. Charles Frisscll, who has been
physician for the firm in all the work
they have done here, said last night
that there had not been fatality on the
bridge. Last summer Mr.. Carey said
to him that, with all the caro- that
could possibly DO exercised, if the arch
was finished without the loss Of several
lives, it would seem to him almost
miracle.
In the North Wheeling tunnel work
OF tho firm there was not n fatal acct
dent. In the Chaplinc hill tunnel
seven livos were lost.
MONUMENT SUGGESTED.
Mr.. Carey not long ago formed part
nership with Mr.. E. b. Carney, and
they leased the Hotel Windsor, which
MIR. Carey took good deal OF pride in
being interested in. He made his home
IN the hotel and had ever since no came
here to prosecute the work on the Ter
mlnal system.
Mr.. Carey remarked to friend the
other evening that he had his life in
sured for $4,000. He had also an acct.
dent policy for $4,000. Mrs. Carey is
quite wealthy in her own right.
At a meeting Of gentlemen interested
IN a corporation yesterday, at which
Mayor seabrightwas present, the mayor
made n suggestion that Mr.. Carey de-
served q monument. and that it would
De good idea to erect one 10 him and
another to the late Colonel Bissell,
who was SO long associated with Mr..
Carey in the Terminal work, which has
done SO much for the city. His idea
was to have the City Council appoint
committee OF citizens at its meeting this
evening to raise the necessary funds,
and that the monuments be erected by
popular subscription entirely. IIcsug-
gested also that one be put at the north
end OF the stone bridge and another at
the south end, and that the amount
subscribed decide the character Of the
monuments to BIO procured. The idea
met with good deal OF favor among
those who heard it suggested, and the
plan will probably be carried out.
