Dangerous Characters Attack Lady.

A respectable lady Of Benwood, who
wishes her name withheld, was attacked
by two men a few nights ego in the
lower ward Of the town. She was ter
ribly frightened, ard had 1t not been
for a man passing, to whom she called,
she would probably would have been
assaulted. The men approached her
threateningly from dark corner, and
she screamed, calling the attention OF
the passer-by and the men beat hasty
retreat.

STRONG EVIDENCE

secured at Martins Ferry Against sup
posed Incendlary.
A search warrant was issued by May
or Keller, OF Martins Ferry, yesterday,
and the house of Howard Gibson was
entered by Marshal Westwood and the
police TO try and find articles missing
from the store of Gus Rohrey, which
was set on fire a few days ago. The
Martins Ferry police have suspected
Gibson of knowing more about the Rob-
rev disaster than he wanted to acknowl-
edge, and took these steps to inVesti-
gate the matter. In the cellar they
discovered the hoops Of lard keg that
Gibson said belonged TO lime bucket,
but the hoops being full Of lard it led
the police to make a more diligent
search, and they discovered very
large Jar of lard, packed full,
in the corner Of the cellar, which the
suspected man cannot account for.
Among the articles taken from the
Rohrey grocery was keg OF lard, and
the police claim they have three or four
witnesses that will swear that Gibson
was seen coming from the burning
storeroom, aud also others met him on
the road home with q package on his
shoulder at the time that the alarm Of
fire was turned in and everybody going
in the opposite direction toward the
fire. He was placed under arrest and
taken to the lookup, and will
have a hearing some time to-day.
Mr.. Rohrey claims that Gibson swore
to kill him or get even with him In
some way because Rohrey attached
Glbson's wages for a grocery bill, Glib
son going so far as TO draw a revolver
on him. Gibson also threatened to kill
the police, drawing a large dirk knife
on them when they attempted to arrest
him, but he was persuaded to go quietly
with them.

Numerous Accidents Reported From
About tho City Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock
a boy named Williams, who runs the
elevator at the Rogers block on Main
street, and a young man employed at
Friedel's store, in the same building,
were transferring lot OF bundles OF
wall paper between the upper and
lower doors of the building, using
truck for the purpose. Williams loaded
a truck after going up in the elevator
and backed towards the elevator well
with his load, supposing the elevator to
be still there. The elevator had gone

receiving serious injuries. He was
taken to his home on the Island.
A few nights ago Mrs. Wheat, wife

She left gas jet burning and retired.
When she awoke later in the night the
gas for some unknon reason had gone

suffocating gas. Luckily she left the
window of the room partially raised.
As it was she was considerably over
come.
Early yesterday morning Jerry Mitch
ell. of Benwood, employed at the Riv-
erside tube works, suffered a most pain
ful accident. One of the large steam
hammers descended on his finger,

unconscious for time, but escaped
without any broken bones. The fall
was about twenty-five feet.

THE MYSTERY DEEPENs,

as the novels say. In no building 10 the
city was the odor more perceptible than
in parts OF the Mcclure House, and
there is not gas jet in the hotel, the
entire building being lighted by cleo
tricity.
The question naturally arises-if not
natural or artificial gas, what then?
And there are number who come TO
the front with an explanation. This
time the underground conduIts are COM
PEELED 10 bear the burden OF RESPONSE
billty. Many are Of the opinion that in
digging the trenches for the telephone
conduits gas mains may have been
broken, thereby permitting sewer gas
to mix with the Illuminating fluid.
When 1t is considered that the illumi-
mating gas is under strong pressure,
this explanation is rendered very i'm
probable.
1t was not long after tho smell was
noticed, until it was call TO the atten-
ton Of the Health Officer. That official
was called yesterday to the Chemical
engine house on Eleventh street, the
men stationed at the house having put
up with the smell for nearly two days.
Under direction OF DR., Mccoy, the floor
was torn up he being OF the opinion
that it proceeded from leak in the
closet. or course, the men had their
work for nothing, and the stink still
stunk.

HADBS OUTDONR.
A SULPHUROUS SMELL LIKE THAT 0F--THE
INFERNAL REGIONS
Il Psrmsatss the Atmosphere, and No kan Knows
Whence it PrOcssds-Eforts to Locate
the Scarce Of the 0dor.

For the past two or three days per-
sons living in the business portion Of
the city have complained OF the presence
Of a disagreeable and sulphurous odor
in the atmosphere. 1t has been noticed
generally along Main and Market
streets, from Tenth to the creek, and
always at night. This latter fact
caused the blame for the awful smell 10
be placed upon the artificial gas.
1t was worse yesterday than on the
previous day, and last night complaint
was heard from the Island, the stencil
being before that time apparently con-
fined to the territory described above.
Last night many business men left
doors and windows open in an effort TO
ventilate their rooms. One man re-
marked, holding his fingers TO his nose,
that his store was like chamber in the
Internal regions. Few people with well
developed and healthy olfactories es'
capped the odor, which had q peculiarly
dlsagreeable and depressing effect.
The odor was first ascribed 10 the
natural gas, but its presence where
there was no gas fires has knock
ed that theory into cooked hat,
so to speak. What lent probable
ity TO the theory that the Illuminating
gas was responsible for the smell, was
the fact that stop-cocks In gas pipes 10
many business houses, worked bard.
At SOnneborn's, McKee's, and other
pisces on Market street, this was espe'
clally noticeable, it being necessary In
some instances TO use wrenches. No
person could be found, however, who
would undertake to explain how sui
phur would so effect the pipes. But

COMPLAINT GENERAL.

The complaint on account OF the sui
phurous odor has been general In the
heart OF the city. The fumes permeated
some OF the churches centrally located,
but fortunately few are holding ser
vicss during the week. Complaint
is also made by the Wheeling Title and
Trust Company. That 1t is not intended
as a punishment for the wicked, is
proven by the fact that the smell can
be easily detected In the REGISTER
building. 1t Is not noticed during the
day, but when the gas is lighted al
night, the atmosphere becomes thicker
than when the fighting editor is sub
hitting TO an interview, or the details
Of prize fight are being arranged. The
printers in the composing room also
complain.
At the Public Library and at the
City Building the complaint is also
made, and all efforts TO locate the
source IS unaVallsng. At Lutfs lsun-
dry on Market street, the employees
thought the small resembled that Of
dead rats, and portion OF the floor
was torn up In search OF deceased
rodents.
Doubtless more furnaces. closets, gas
pipes, etc, have been overhauled dur
ing the past two days than for 3 year
past. An effort was made last night 70
see Superintendent Darrah. OF the gas
works, but he could not be found. Ills
understood, however, that he insists
that the odUr is not due TO any impuri-
ties In the gas manufactured by the
municipal authorities.
Other people Insist just IS strongly
that the city gas is responsible, and that
the gas Is not being properly purified.
The odor Is here. What causes IL?
It Is now Ia order 70 start fresh air

IN A HOTEL.

A little later in the day the Health
Officer was called TO the Mcclure House.
CHESTS had com planned OF the smell In
their rooms, and several went so far as
to threaten TO leave the hotel unless
they were given other rooms, or the
cause OF the odor was removed. Four
plumbers were at work during the day,
but the only thing they accomplished
was to make bill for the management.
Then DR.. Mccoy was sent for, and
with several other gentlemen, started
on a smelling expedition. The Health
Officer could not give an explanation,
nor could be afford any relief.
DR.. Mccoy was seen by REGISTER
reporter last night. THE origin OF
the odor is a mystery TO me-" he said,
land don't think any Of the explana-
tlons given are plausible. 1t is GER
tainly sewer gas smell, but am un-
able TO accoun. for II. Would its con-
slant inhalation be injurious to the
health? Decidedly. ] would not think
OF sleeping ia a room with the gas. /
would advise persons to properly yenti-
late their houses, wherever the gas Is
noticed"
At the hotel II Is said there are six
rooms which cannot be used. Guests
have been transferred, however, TO
rooms in portion OF the house In which
the gas cannot be detected.

at lodging house on South Main street
just south of the cathedral, and yester-
day morning became violently delirious.
1t took Elk men to hold him in bed,
and not knowing what was the matter
police officers had him taken to the
county jail as insane. His condition in
the court room was painful. He shook
as If with ague, and appeared oblivious
of everything and everybody. The am
bulance was summoned and Mr.. Offord
