A WHEELING MAN
Badly Injured at PittSburg. Yesterday, In
Peculiar Way.

Badly Irj ured at PtttsDurg, hebLeruhy, III
Peculiar Way.
The following telegram was received
from Pittsburg late last night. There
is no one named r. A. Reed in the
Wheeling Directory
PITrsBURG, PA, February 2.-R. A..
Reed, formerly OF this city, but now an
oil producer Of Wheeling, met with a
painful accident on Fourth avenue, near
Wood street, to-day, and is now pa
tent at the Homeopathic Hospital as a
result OF the injuries which he received.
Mr. Reed was walking hurriedly down
Fourth avenue, and when at the point
mentioned came suddenly face to
face with an old LADY who was
also walking rapidly, ev.iently intent
upon boarding a car which was stand
ing at the corner. Mr. Reed, who is a
large man, lodged to avoid knocking
the old lady down, and In so doing
slipped and fell heavily to the sidewalk.
With an effort he succeeded In getting
to his feet, knowing that be was
badly hurt, but not being able TO
locate the injury. With some difficulty
he succeeded in reaching the Homeo-
pathic Hospital, where an examination
showed that his collar bone had been
badly splntered. He put himself IN
charge OF the hospital physician and it
is thought he will be able TO be about In
few days.

VEGETABLES SCARCE,
The Cold weather Did the Damage and
Inoreased the Prices. .

The Cold Weather Did the Damage ana
Increased the Prices. .
The prices OF all kinds Of fruit and
vegetables have gone up, owing 70 the
scarcity caused by the last severe cold
spell. Almost every merchant suffered
losses on account Of their stored stock
freezing.
The scarcity Of vegetables is becom-
ing more noticeable The potato sup
Div, according 20 different reports from
farmers, was badly damaged by the
sudden cold weather. They say that
the vegetables stored away were frozen
and after getting in that condition be-
came decayed and unfit for use. The
farmers refuse 10 deliver their stock
and have increased the wholesale price
very much within a very short time.
The exact damage done by the cold
speell is not yet known, but 10 IS feared
that as soon as the total losses are tlg-
ured up the prices will increase again.
The effect OF the cold weather was
equally as severe upon other kinds Of
vegetables. The great scarcity Of cab
bage previous TO the cold wave was
greatly noticed, and after the freezing
stock remained was almost entirely de-
strOyed.
Said one merchant yesterday: The
potato supply is scarce now and think
the price will increase again. They
will be unfit for use after being frozen
and l think that the farmers who are
fortunate enough TO hold a supply Of
potatoes will retain them and the mark
ct price is bound to increase again.
'Fruit, although not SO badly affected
as vegetables, is very scarce this season.
The wholesale price is raising greatly
and like everything else 2 expect the
price to increase very NJ eh before the
winter is over.
''From what I can \ the farmers
all over the country have suffered Sc
we're losses. Even ia the South the low
temperature played havoc with fruit
and their market Is raising. Altogether
il is the coolest weather FOR vegetables
and fruit that we have had for many
years and no doubt the great scarcity
will be generally felt before long"

Hunting Wolves With Hounds.

A correspondent of the Toronto (Can
ada) Globe, writing of the ranching coun
try of the Northwest Territory, says:
There is certain annual loss of calve,
and colts from wolves. There are tw,
kinds of these cattle lifters, the timbel
wolf and the coyote, of different habit
but OF precisely similar gastronomi,
tastes. The coyote usually hunts singly,
the timber wolf, n larger and moro form
liable animal, is fond of society. They
hang about the vicinity of cattle and at
tack calves or colts that have strayed 9
little distance or have been lott behind
by the band. There is no virtue in then
while alive. Dead wolves are of value,
as well for their skins as for the satisfac.
ton and encouragement which they
afford the ranchcr. They are therefore
much hunted, and various breeds of dogs
have been imported for their benefit.
But they are fast, cunning, and stay
we'll, and, having killed an animal and,
with their friends, dined on him, they
do not return to sup on him, but look
elsewhere. 1t is not therefore, so easy
to find them. They post themselves on
convenient eminenccs and leave for parts
unknown directly they observe cowboy
and dogs, no matter how far off he may
be. They have no use for man.
The timber wolves are very powerful
animals, and when run by Scotch deer
hounds either get into some small brush
or seek convenient place to turn at bay.
The Scotch deer-holnd then declines to
hold closer converse with stranger to
whom he has not been introduced. The
boar-hund, on the contrary, at once
seeks to thoroughly investigate his new
acquaintance, but he is a slow animal,
for whose arrival the wolf can only be
induced to wait by pressing attention on
the part of the other dogs. Ranchers
are now crossing several breeds ofhounds
to obtain speed coupled with power
They have even tried crossing with
wolves. The new animal cheerfully hunts
his vulpine kindred, but is not fast
enough. Packs of hounds, more or less
of foxhound relationship, for dogs
parentage is not always accurately de-
termined, have been tried in Alberta,
but it is found that when tired Of run
ming the wolf lays down, opens his
mouth and invites some one to come on.
This invitation is only accepted when
the VOLTS attention can be engaged by q
man, or otherwise, in one direction, so
that the hounds can run in on HIM in
the rear. Then no room is lett for com
plant. A great many are killed in one
way or another, but the cowboys say they
are increasing in number.

Learning to Write

The question is being asked. both in
Europe and America, why it is that the
handwriting of the average individual
continues so poor, despite the TINA and
effort spent by the schools in teaching
the art of writing. The physicians, too.
aroused by their own personal obserya-
tons, have raised protest against cx-
isting methods of teaching writing.
They hold that both myopia and scoii-
osis, which develop so largely during
school life, are distinctly traceable and
taught IN writing lessons; that these
harmful pastures are due to the ssslopen
OF "slant" of the writing; that the spine
will certainly be twisted unless an up-
right style of writing is adopted; that
vertical writing, If substituted for the
prevailing "sioping" style would obvi
ate all of these troubles. 1t has also
shown by experiment that the vertical
style of writing can be taught more
quickly than the "sloping," aud, when
learned, is more legible. We seem to be
reaching point where the typewriter
will do the whole business. buffalo

Sweating Silver Coins.

John NJ. Kclleher ard George w.
Price were presented by the United
States Grand Jury on the charge OF
''sweating" silver coins. Mr.. Cabell
Whitehead, assayer of the bureau of the
mint at Washington, was the main wit.
ness. He says the sweating" of coins
is any process by which portion of the
valuable metal is renewed, and that it is
comparatively common offensc. The
paraphernal;a supposed to have been
used by Kelleher and Price. and consist
ing of an electric battery, jars and acid,
together with the coins, were submitted
to Mr.. Whitehead for investigation as to
their nature. Mr.. Whitehead suys that
if the accused are guilty as alleged, they
worked in crude manner.
His examination showed that the sill
yer dollars were placed in solution of
nitric acid, consisting of equal parts of
acid and water.
The coins were allowed to remain in
the solution until the desired quantity of
silver had been dissolved from them,
and in the dollars passed by the two
men this amounted to from 100 to 115
grains, the required weight of each
dollar being 4l2l grains. The coins
arc composed of nine parts silver and
one part copper, and Mr.. White.
head found the same proportion
In the acid solution analysed by him.
In order to Obtain pure silver from the
solution it is only necessary to add com.
mon salt, when the silver will be precip.
itated as chloride of silver. The acid
may be washed away with water, and
the chlorine removed by the addition of
zinc, the result of which would be the
formation of chloride of zinc-a cheap
compound soluble in water-and pure
silver. Operators by this method would
save the silver until they had sufficient
to mould into bars or to form the besi,
of counterfeit coins.
a much more common method OF
sweating" coins, MIR. Whitehead saws,
IS by means of an electric battery, as in
electro-plating, the genuine coin being
ON the positive, pole, and the counter.
felt coin, strip of silver or copper, OF
any other condu ctor of electricity, on
the negative pole, with o solution Of
cyanide of potash between. The silver
is gradually dissolved from the genuine
coin, and deposited on the object or the
negative pole. This is the method used
by nearly all counterfeiters, Mr.. White.

THOUGHT 1T PART OF THE INIT ALTON.
The members of the Independent Order
of Enthusiastic Good Fellows were
operating on Mr.. Timberwhcel, few
weeks ago, putting him through the
operations supposed to be necessary to
convert the ordinary citizen into an En-
.husiastic Good Fellow. They were al
most through with the imitation when
some kind of an explosion in the store
over which the hall was situated blew
the building into the middle of the street
and interfered with the ceremonies.
Ready hands set to work and extri-
Gated the people from the debris. For
lunately no one was hurt very much,
but after census had been taken Mr..
rimberwheel was found in an adjoining
yard, where the force of the explosion
had landed him, He sat in a lodge
room chair and his eyes were still blind
folded.
"Why on earth didn't you take that
thing off your eyes and get out of the
chair when the explosion occurred2n
asked one of the Enthusiastic Good Eel
lows.
"Explosiona" echoed Timberwheel.
"Why thought that was part of the
initiation.
