A BAD ACCIDENT YESTERDAY

At Wheeling Creek Hines, West OF
Brldgsport-A Man Loses His Life.
A tragic accident occurred at al ear
" hour yesterday morning, at what Is
known as the Wheeling Creek mines.
lust one mile west of Bridgeport. The
unfortunate victim of the sad affair was
Ross Kelly, the yard conductor on the
G. L. & w. railroad.
The details are as follows: When the
train on the G. L. 81 w. railroad ar
rived at the mines, which is run every
morning for the purpose OF carrying
the MIXERS TO their work, Kelly was the
first man TO alight from the car and
commence work. He got everything in
shape and signaled the engineer to
back the car into the mines, while
he ran on ahead TO change
the switch. Just as he was about
to take hold of it, he tripped over
piece of coal and fell headlong on the
track. Meanwhile the train was stead
ily backing up, and before word OF
warning could be given the wheels OF
the car passed over Kelly's legs, crush
ing one just little below the knee,
while the other limb was crushed in the
centre. The alarm was soon given, and
he was brought to his home In the west
end of Kirkwood, where Drs. Wilson, OF
Wheeling, and Fisher, of KirkWood,
were summoned, but they found 1t use
less to do anything, and at noon he ex-
pired from exhaustion.
He was married and leaves a wife and
child. He was in the neighborhood Of
twenty-five years of age, and belonged
to several benevolent organizations.

THE CoLoRED CRUSADE.
Call Issued for National Conference to
Act ON Southern Ousrages.

CHICAGO, April 24.-At meeting held
here yesterday, attended by well-known
colored men from various sections of the
country, call was promulgated for a
national conference Of colored represen-
tatives to be held in Chicago, June 4
next. The call says: 1--WE need the ac-
cumulated knowledge and information,
the united character, the combined wis
dom and the sound judgment Of our
prominent men in every section of the
country in this coming presidential cam
paign. The separate coach laws enacted
by various legislatures in the Southern
states subjecting our race to in
justice and abuse without end and
numerous outrages perpetrated upon
them without the slightest provocation OF
cause in the South demand our imme-
diate action and attention. 4
Invitations to attend the conference
will be sent to five persons in each state
and territory and the District of Colum-
bia.

HERE'S STATE OF THINGS.
North Dakota People Barred Out Of the
+ Presidential Election.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., April 24.-It
has been discovered that the legislature
made no provision for the election of
presidential electors, although law was
passed requiring them to meet at Bis
marck on the second Monday in Janua-
ry to cast their ballots. It is now too
late to provide for an election at the
polls unless a special session of the legis-
lature is held. The regular session of
the legislature meets the first Tuesday
in January, six days before the meeting
of the electors should be held. The leg
islature can elect the electors, but the leg
lature may have Democratic majority,
while the Republicans have majority
of the state or vice versa 1t is suggested
that an agreement be made by the party
leaders that the form of voting for cleo
tors be gone through with in the regular
manner with the understanding that the
legislature endorse the action Of the
people by electing the persons receiving
the greatest number of votes at the in.
formal election.

CALIFORNIA; CHINESE WALL.
Senator Frye Predicts that It VIII Stop
Oriental Trade

Oriental Trade.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-During the
consideration of the Chinese exclusion
bill in the Senate today, Mr. Frye said
the committee on commerce had been
considering the appropriations in the
river and harbor bill and that the sena-
tors from the Pacific coast had been as
usual very careful in the interests of
their people. They had been soliciting
large appropriations. Their main
ground for asking these appropriations
had been that the Pacific commerce was
to be really the commerce of the United
States and that Puget Sound, for in
stance, was to be the scene of an enor-
nous oriental commerce. ''Now,' said
Mr.. Frye, IF the people of the Pacific
coast build Chinese wall by insulting
the people and government of China SO
that they will not send any of their COM
merce here or permit lis to send any of
ours there, what becomes of the necessi-
ty of any further improvement of the
rivers and harbors on the Pacific coast?,
Mr.. Mitchell-'In view of the fact that
we have paid in gold and silver to China
over 5000, 000, 900 in the last 20 years to
pay the balances of trade, ask the SEN
ator from Maine whether he thinks that
China is going to break off that trade
with us if we pass the exclusion bill.'
Mr.. Frye-'I have no doubt of it ALL
Mr. Mitchell-''Well, I have.'
Mr.. Frye-''None under the sum-, If
the House bill becomes law, and if the
Emperor of China does not, in less than
go days, declare his ports closed to all
commerce of the United States and with
draw his diplomatic representatives from
the United States, am entirely mistaken
about the Emperor of China and his min
ister."

fected by the recent decision of the inter-

cision rendered on April Q, notified the

sail boat, with the intention of going for
mayfowers. To pass through the Ports
mouth and Kittery bridge, it was neces-
sary to remove the mast Of the boat Be-
fore this could be done, the strong cur
rent set the boat against the bridge, and
all four occupants were upset into the
river. Young Trefethen caught hold Of
one of the piles of the bridge, and sue
ceeded in getting out Of the water. The
swift running tide swept the others
through the bridge up the river. Burke
tried to support both girls, but finding
that he could not, relinquished his hold
on Miss Gray. She, with rare presence
of mind, turned on her back and ffoated
in the water. Cries of help from IRE,
fethen caused two boats to put out from
two schooners lying at the drawer Of the
pier. One boat reached the Gray girl,
who had floated half mile up river. and
picked her up unframed. The other
boat proceeded after Burke and his COM
panion just before the boat reached
them, Burke became exhausted and sank.
The tide swept the Foster girl away from
the boat, and she was sinking for the
third time when seized by the rescuers.
Burke never came to the surface again.
The Foster girl was taken ashore at Kit.
terry, and after lying unconscious for
nearly two hours. recovered her senses.
She has been in a very precarious eondi-
ton all day. Young Burke was 20 years
