THE PYRoTEoHNIos

Last Night Knocked out Anything Before
Seen in Wheeling,
Between twenty and thirty thousand
people witnessed the grand pyrotechpic
display last evening at the old fair
grounds, on the Island. The estimates
placed on the size Of the crowd varied
between the figures named, but there is

not the slightest doubt that Wheeling's
record forlarge crowdswas badly broken;
1t looked as though everybody in the
city was on the grounds, while largo
delegations from neighboring towns at
tracted by the fine pyrotechnic pro-
gramme, wero on hand. Martins Ferry
sent 5000 people, and Bridgeport and
Bellaire sent about the same number.
One Of the noticeable features Of the oc-
casion was the almost perfect order that
was observed, aud this is the more re-
markable when the hugeness Of the
audience is taken into consideration.
About tho only duty for the special Off
GERS who we're on hand was to keep the
inevitable small boy out oft eenclosure
within which the fireworks were being
handled.

God, when George the Third attempted

freedom that was abroad in the land,
banded our fathers together TO proclaim
that never would they submit to such a
condition. The speaker then dwelt on

Two Killed.

An accident occurred on the West
Virginia Central railroad last
Thursday evening at Line Mark, a
short distance south of Thomas, BY
which two men lost their lives.
As G. X. Somerfield and A. j.
Riggleman, two section men EN-.
ployed by the railroad company,
we're returning home from their
work. on a hand car, they allowed
their car to descend the steep grade
very rapidly and were not on the
lookout for worktrain which they
knew might happen along at any
moment.
When they were nearing a sharp
curve the engine came IN sight,
and before the unfortunate men
could apply the brake to the car, or
jump to save themselves, the car
dashed into the engine, and one OF
the men was killed outright. The
other was injured 90 badly that he
died last night. The hand-car was
smashed into smithereens.
Had the men run thele car at a
slow rate of speed down the grade
it could have been stopped before
the engine touched it, as the engine
could have been heard coming. A
hand-car, when running fast makes
as much noise as an engine, conse'
quently the men had but short
warning OF their danger.

NUMBER 81



The month will open in the west
warm aud threatening attended by
south winds; in central parts q ris-
ing temperature will prevail, and in
the extreme east light freezing and
frost will then be holding q relax
ing grip. A disturbance win start
in the west about the 1st and pur-
sue its course across the country
east, dissipating about the 3d or :
4th. The nature Of the wave will
be local rains, snow-squalls, and
brisk gales will develop, especially
on and along the lakes and the At
lantic. Slight freezing and frosty
mornings win follow. About the
9th weather conditions will change
in the west growing warm and the
temperature advancing over the
whole country in the sense of q
warm wave which will culminato
about the 9TH in the west, later IN
central and eastern pafts.
The 9Th, 9th and 10th we denote
as the dates Of disturbance in Md
die and eastern sections. This
wave of disturbance will be apt to
prove the most severe Of any OF the
month; attended by fierce gales on
the lakes, the Atlantic and also at
many other places. The kind of
disturbance that will most likely be
experienced IN the north and lake
regions will be rain, as the temper
ature above the earth's surface low
ers, be supplanted by sleet and
snow driven by fierce gale which
will merge INTO winter blizzard
before the storm will be exhausted
impeding if not entirely blocking
railroad and telegraph commu-
nication. Generally in central
and eastern portions of the
country the storm will loose much
of its northern fierceness and ex-
pend its force in rain, sleet, snow
squalls and strong gales of wind,
On the southern rim of disturbance
electric showers aud hurricanes
will develope. A cold wave will
follow the rear and flank of the dis
turbance holding a tight grip for a
few days. About the 14th or dates
touching it the cold snap will relax
and then local showers and snow
squalls accompanied by brisk winds
will prevail. About the 18th
weather conditions will be under
going changes in the west, the tenn
perature growing warm, generally
south winds in attendance and
wave of storm disturbed conditions
will centre on the Goth which will
be prolonged to the 23d, then west
ern and eastern extremes of the
country will have been touched by
it in its progress. General RAIN.
fall, brisk fall winds and then turn
ing to sleet and snow will be the
leading features of the disturbance,
eqcept northward where it will be
much intensified, turning to biz
zard.
On the 25th and Goth the tenn
perature will react, then east and
south winds will add their presence
and a return to active storms Of
wind. rain, sleet and snow will pre-
vail. A severe cold wave will fol-
low. The month will close by de-
noting wave of storm disturbance
organizing, that will develop much
intensity.
December will have many severe
storms and sudden changes.

The Journal a few weeks age
published a clipping from the Oak.
land REPUBLICAN to the affect that
citizen of Garrett county had
killed snake. blue black in color,
measuring about four feet six inches
IN length, IN which was found eight
young ones, each measuring five
and one-half inches in length. We
can "trot out" a snake that will
beat that. During harvest Il num-
Der of men were making hay for
Sherman Graham, in Valley dis
trict, when they came upon a snake
of the description of the one de-
scribed by THE REPUBLICAN,, about
the same length, and very nearly as
thick as Sherman Graham's leg.
Mr.. Calder Hartley dispatched the
reptile and in it found ninety-three
live snakes averaging in length
about five inches! Like THE RE-
pUBLICAN's authority. Mr.. Hartley
can bstantiate the truth of this
statement by at least five witnesses,
but Mr.. Hartley's word alone is
sufficient to those who know his
reputation for truth and veracity.
We presume the snake was of the
same species as the one THE REPUB-
LICAN mentions. Some few haye
been killed in this county within
recent years, but they are very
scarce, and were not known in this
section until recently,-Preston
