A little incident occurred at the M. f.
church, Sunday evening. which was
not only gratifying to the church trus-
tees but was characteristic OF the
people as well. Before the service
commenced Rev. F. O. Jones announ-
ced that Mr.. r. r. Williams, one Of
the trustees, would have few words
to say to the congregation. Mr.. Will
Jams arose and in the briefest manner
possible announced that this was the
time Of year to strike balances and lie
found the church in debt about at and
thought the proper thing to do would
be to take up collection to liquidate
this amount. The night was bitter
cold and the congregation small, con-
sisting principally Of young people,
and those who glanced over the aud
fence didn't see any SAT in sight and
suggested postponement Of the col
lection until more favorable oppo
tunity. But Mr.. Williams does M
believe in putting of until tomorro
what can be done to day and proceeded
with the collection, handing the proceeds
over:to Mr.. Jones, who, after counting
up. announced that he was in some
thing Of quandary, as tho collection
amounted to $50 and he didn't know
what to do with the surplus. It is
unnecessary to add that the surplus
was more easily taken care of than a
deficiency would have been, and that
the result was most gratifying to all.

WASH OUT.
A WHOLE FAMILY ON FISH CREEK SWEPT
INTO ETERNITY.
A Heavy Rain Causes Sudden Rise and Takes the
Home Away in the Dead Hours of the
Nighs-Seven Persons Drowned.

Report reached the city last night OF
a horrible wash-out on Fish Creek, just
back from Woodland, some seven or
eight miles south Of Moundsville. On
Sunday night the rain in that section
came down in torrents, much as it did
at West Alexander, but with still great
er vengeance. Hard as it rained here
in Wheeling at times on Sunday night,
il was not a circumstance TO the way 1T
poured in the vicinity of Fish Creek.
The water in the creek rose rapidly and
almost Unexpectedly, and before several
OF the residents along the banks could
make provisions for 1t they were caught
In the meshes.
The one-story log house of Daniel
Doty was lifted bodily and sent rapidly
off into the mad and surging waters.
The whole family was sleeping in the
house at the time, and were unable TO
escape. Mr.. DOty persisted, together
with his wife, three children, his step
father, another relative who was in the
house at the time, and hired girl.
Another house was also taken away,
but the occupants fortunately escaped
aud dire destruction was done to farms
and corn fields.
But the greatest excitement pre-
vailed over the loss OF the
Dotyfamily, and such as lived
in the neghborhood were unaware
of the terrible affair until morning
dawned The wash-out came exactly
at midnight, and it being intensely
dark, even those who escaped from the
second drifting house, knew nothing of
tina Doty house washing away until
morning.
As soon as the true situation dawned
upon the people vigorous search for
the bodies was instituted. There was
so much rubbish in the stream that 1t
was difficult to prosecute the search.
The body of Mr.. Doty was finally dis
covered about 9 o'clock, floating near
the mouth of Fish creek, and the body
OF one of the children was found
about mile and half
below where the house stood. Up to
late hour last night noae Of the other
bodies had been found, but the search
will be continued to-day. 1t was under
stood that Mr.. Doty had relative or
two in this city, but inquiry last night
did not prove availing. 1t was one Of
the saddest calamities that has befallen
that section for many years, and the
friends of the victims Of the dis aster are
wrapped in grief

so NEAR AND YET so FAR.
Martin Reed Almost Captured on satur-
day Evening.


day Evening.
Martin Reed the condemned muir
derer Of Alexander Chapel and escaped
jail bird from the Little Washington
county Jail, mas at last been definitely
located. and those in position to know
state that his capture will be matter
of only a day or two. Reeds hiding
place is in the vicinity of Mechanics
burg, small town in Beaver county,
almost directly north Of Washington
some thirty or thirty-fye miles, and a
short distance south of HookStown.
Last Saturday night Sheriff w. ?.
Cherry received q telegram from De-
tectlve William Nc Bride, who has been
endeavoring TO effect the murderer's
capture ever since his escape, in which
he stated that he had seen Reed and de-
sired that the Sheriff come on with a
posse to fredericksburg. The Sheriff
Immediately made preparations TO fol-
low out the instructions given in the
telegram. He first Swore in as special
officers Messrs. John A. Orr, James
Barbour, James Hammond, John So
pher, James Kirk and John Burnell,
and then secured couple Of rigs
from a liverymau. At y O'Clock the
party, headed by the Sheriff, entered
the vehicles and were soon making
good time along the dark country roads.
Each man was armed and prepared for
any emergency.
The deputies arrived at the scene at
$50 o'clock Sunday morning, where
they were met by Detective Mcbride,
and Constable Williams, of Midway.
The officers had come within an ace OF
capturing the prisoner, and they
thought that il the proper precautions
were taken, his hiding place could be
discovered and be (Reed) be taken
alive.
Sheriff Cherry and his posse spent
most of Sunday In the woods in which
Reed was said to be hiding, but did not
discover a single clue as to the murder
er's whereabouts. At half past five the
Washington party, with the exception
of MessrS. Orr and Sopher, started for
home.
On Sunday, Detective Mcbride re-
turned TO the Scott house and put the
members of the family through cross
examination. He learned that Scott
was Reeds uncle and that the con-
demned man bad been living with him
for several weeks. He also frequently
assisted Mr.. Scott in the hay
and wheat fields. He was always
careful, however, not to remain in the
house after dark, and would go of and
sleep in the adjacent woods. Mcbride
says he will arrest Scott to-day, for har-
boring an escaped criminal, and thinks
that he can in this way brighten the
man into telling Reeds hiding place.
All day Sunday the officers were much
annoyed by members of the Scott fami-
", who would sit in the windows Of the
second story and make curious signals
towards the woods. They endesvored
to discover by these movements the
location of Reed, but were unable TO
do so.
Messrs. Mcbride, Williams, Orr and
Sopher will remain in that vicinity to-
day, and hope 10 capture the prisoner
before evening.

WENT UP FOR FUN,
And They Got Fun with Great Big

And They Got Fun with Great Big F.
The Steubeuville Herald says that
three brothers named Ridenour, living
in Wellsburg, were perforated with bull
lets from a revolver In the hands OF
George Adams, seventeen-year-old
boy living in Steubsnvile, on Sunday
afternoon, opposite that city.
The Ridenour boys went up to the
home of 'Old Man Grimes" TO have
some fun. A family named Mitchell,
in which there are two young ladies,
lives in a boat-house on the Ohio side.
On Sunday the two girls aud Adams
called on Grimes to spend the day. The
Ridenouers, after filling up with booze,
called at the house, and after wiping
up the floor with Grimes, commenced
on the Mitchell girls. 1t was then that
Adams "got his dander up" and let fly
from a gun which he carried. he
wounded each Of the three Ridenouer
boys, and succeeded in securing uhdis-
puted possession Of the Grimes home
stead.

THE LIGHTNING FRANKS
Where, When and How Much it Struck in
Their Section.

Their Section.
During the thunder storm on Sunday
night the electrical fluid played havoc
with the property Of James Wise on the
st. Clairsville pike TO the extent OF
some 81, 500. The barn was a fine new
structure, built by Mr.. Wise at cost
OF So, 900, and it contained beside set
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, several tons OF
hay and 800 bushels of wheat. The
structure and contents were totally de-
stroyed. The loss on the building and
contents will BE- something near $500;
insured for $1,000.
Henry Logan's house in Kirkwood
was struck, but no damage was done.
The belfry of the West End NJ. f..
church was also struck. The cables on
the new back river bridge were also
struck. The street car which runs be-
tween Etnayille and Martins Ferry
was burnt out.
A barn belonging to Henry Meyers,
the dairyman, located about mile and
half back of Benwood was struck by
lightning and burned TO the ground.
The NOW was full of hay and it was
wiped up, while the vehicles, &C., were
saved from the flames. The loss is
about $500 and there was no insurance.
Charles Schroeders house at Elm
Grove was struck by lightning during
the storm, and it was quite badly dam
aged.
There was on unusually heavy rain
at West Alexander and neighboring
section, the water fairly coming down
in sheets, swelling the streams and
creeks to considerable extent. Such
a downfall has not been witnessed in
those parts for a long time. The dam
age was so distributed that 1t is diff
cult to estimate the aggregate loss.
