Died of Lockiaw.

Last Thursday week, at Fairmont,
while Ed. Shroyer, Of the firm OF
Cookies & Shroyer, aud Oscar Liason
were delivering peaches their team ran
of, throwing both men out and badly
wrecklng the wagon. Liason was badly
cut and bruised, but nothing serious
was thought would come OF it until yes
terday, when he died from lockjaw
caused or arising from the injuries. He
was about 90 years OF age, and was not
EN- ployed by the above firm regularly,
being merely employed for that day.
His funeral will occur to-day.

TOOK A FRIEND WITH HIM.

Billy sayers Accompanied Prof Trainer to
the Clouds.
ave struck more tough luck at the
wheeling Fair than any place l ever
went" said Prof Trainer in his stem
torian voice, when he came back from
his little trip to the clouds yesterday
afternoon.
And the Professor certainly had good
reason for bewsiling his misfortune.
The first day ascension was disap-
pointment. Then Mile. Zeno took a
little jauut, but the balloon didn't go
high enough for her 10 make the para
chute leap without endangering her
life. She made another effort and the
ascension was a daisy" but she was
fastened to the trapeze bar, and had to
wait for the balloon to come down, when
she sustained injuries OF suCh a nature
as to prevent any more attempts during
the week. Prof. Frazier then agreed to
fl in the dates. but the wind played
havoc with his efforts to initiate the big
canvass bag.
Yesterdays sensational affair capped
the climax. The balloon was easily in
fated, and as only slight breeze was
stirring, il looked like Mile, Zeno's
splendid ascension Of Wednesday would
be duplicated.
LET her 90, boys" cried the Pro-
fessor when everything was ready and
he had secured a good grasp on the
ropes OF the trapeze swing. The boys
did let her go, aud the big canvass
arose rapidly in the air. Billy
Sayres, Of Pittshurs, a cousin of
Mile. ZenO, who has been assisting In
the work OF Initiating the balloon, was
inside at the time. When the balloon
started 70 go up, he rushed out directly
over the parachute, which was stretch
ed out on the ground. He stepped upon
the ropes which connect the parachute
with the balloon, aud his foot became
entangled. The monster canvas shot
up into the air, and the spectators were
shocked TO find Sayres dangling from
the ropes, with his head downward.
.'Hold on to the ropes" shouted the
Professor, who retained his presence Of
mind. The crowd echoed the cry, and
the young man, by great ef-
fort, raised himself up, and
clutched the ropes. He succeeded in
drawing himself up, aud sat upon the
iron ring 10 which the parachute was
fastened.
Thousands Of eyes followed the hal
loon as u floated of. One spectator was
Mile. Zeno, who was white with fear
that her cousin and her friend would
meet an awful fate. No attention was
paid to the heat of the pacing race,
which was about TO be started. "Will
he deiach the parachute?" asked hun
dred anxious watchers.
The balloon reached a height OF sew
eral thousand feet, then steadied itself
over West Wheeling, and began slowly
to descend. When 1t was apparent that
Prof. Trainer had no intention 10 cut
loose from the balloon, everybody
breathed easier. The balloon came
down Just below the paper mill, and
neither of the men sustained any inju-
ries. Ii was but q short time until they
returned TO the grounds, and had TO an
swer a thousand and one questions.
Their escape was little short OF mi
raculous. Prof. Trainer stated, how
ever, that he thought be could have de-
tached the parachute without endan-
gering the life Of Sayres, but he did not
care to take any chances.

years Fair was an exception. II the de-
gree Of success is measured by the eX-
pectstions Of the Directors, the result
will be very gratifying. II did look de-
cidedly "blue" for a while, but the big
attendance on Thursday caused every
thing 20 assume a brighter aspect The
Directors are entirely satisfied" said
Secretary George Hook, last night.
1.-THE attendance went beyond our ex'
pectations. Taxing the hard times into
consideration, we were little dubious
about the financial end of the Fair. But
Thursday pulled US out all right, and
we made some money-it is Impossible
yet 90 say how much
With the cry Of poor attendance com
ing from all other Fairs In this section,
the people OF Wheeling have cause to
feel proud OF such a substantial institu
tion as the State Fair. The Directors,
at their next meeting, will look over
the situation and IN al probability out
line programme for better Fair next
fall. 1t is certain that some changes
will be made.
Yesterdays attendance was about
five thousand. The programme of races
was a big drawing card. There was
the same molly thrOng and the same Pc
cullar incidents which were noted on
the previous days. Yesterday was rot
without its exciting events, the balloon
ascension and the accident on the track
causing some uueaslneSs.

This WAS probably the best race OF
the afternoon. 1t was full OF exciting
incidents, including the accident In the
final heat. From start 70 finish 1t was
a contest for first place between Billy

snurts and exciting incidents TO give
the crowd = chance to exerciseItS vocal
nowers, and II did so withAe ven
geance. There were originally seven
teen entries, and ten Of this number
started.

badly, breaking az nearly every turn.
In spite of this he managed to take
third place in the heat. Sawtelle was a
half dozen lengths In the rear through
out the race. Time 2:22H. Paris mu-
tuals on the heat paid $3.50.
FOURTH HEAT-Raven was greater
favorite than ever in the betting, with
scarcely any money in the field. The
heat was only interesting on account OF
the good time made. Raven led at the
start, but had to set rapid pace In or
der to win. Gold Dust worked well,
and did not break once during the heat.
Gold Dust and Andy Wilkes were work
ing hard for second place: Gold Dust
took the lead at the quarter, and closely
pushed Raven for first honors. At the
half Raven was several lengths ahead,
and Gold Dust a length in the lead OF
Wilkes. Sawtelle broke and dropped
back to last place. The finish was very
tame, Raven proving an easy winner:
The time was 2:1S and Raven could
have gone better If forced. Mutuals on
the heat paid Sl.40.

THE RUNNING RACE.
FIRST HEAT-The horses were started
well together. Woodruff and Great
Scott wers neck and neck until the
three-quarter pole was reached, when
the New Orleans horse began to show
front. At the finish Woodruff was
full leng b in the lead, and Tom Rather
a dozen lengths TO the rear. The heat
was very tame and disappointment to
the crowd. Eric did not start. The
betting favored Woodruff, with very
little money placed on the field. Tho
time was 1902.
SECOND HEAT-Woodruff was again
favorite in this heat, with few field buy
ers. The heat was very embarrassing,
Woodruff having everything his own
way, although Rather forced him to
travel little faster than in the pre-
ceding heat. Mutuals paid Sl.5O.

10 ths Editor or the Register:
SIR:-I notice in your paper OF this
date en- account Of q most unfortunate
collision between two ministers at
Wayne, w. Va. In your account you
state they were Baptist ministers. AL
low me to correct mistake. They are
not Baptist ministers. The Rev. Mr..
Peters is Methodist. l do not know
Rev. Mr.. Burgess, but the inference is
that he Is also a Methodist. Certainly
neither OF them are Baptists, and the
trouble did not occur in Baptist

ADJUSTMENTS.
sALvINI COMING.

In the forthcoming Salvini engage
ment, his first appearance here, local
theatre-g oers will find welcome change
from routine theatricals. Salvini has
made the picturesque plays OF old Time
romance and chivairy once more popu-
lar. The themes which they rehearse,
the scenes which they present, the I'm
FASHIONED language. rapid action and
absorbing interest with which they are
replete make them far better fitted for
stage representation than one half the
subjects used in modern drama.
But these romantic heroes neeo an In
diyiduality and an enthusiasm which is
not common to the American actor.
They need the excitable nature and
natural abandon Of the foreigner to
lend them interest. Salvini Is imbued
with these characteristics as are none
of his contemporaries, and furthermore
he has youth and physical attractive
ness without which the hero OF fiction
is ridiculous spectacle.
THE AL. @. FIELD MINsTRELs.
The Al. G. Field Ministries will ap-
pear at the Opera House Wednesday,
September 18th, and It's shrewd man
ager has spared neither trouble nor
money TO make 1t first class In every
respect. The new first part, THE
Bivouac," is said to be one of the most
beautiful and gorgeous settings ever
seen on the stage; special attention
has been paid TO the choral portion
OF the entertainment, and the
singing of good old-fashioned negro
melodies is one Of the features OF the
performance. The comedy element
consists OF Al. G. Field, Frand Cush-
man. Tom Dennelly and Fred Russell,
which should be sufficient guarantee
that there will be plenty Of fun through
out the entertainment. There will be
a grand imposing spectacular street
parads at 1870 q. m. on the day OF the
performance.
