VERY PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
What Occurred Out on the PeniDsuli
Sunday.

One OF the most peculiar, and in GER
tain of its details the most inhuman,
accidents in this vicinity for some time
took place Sunday night In the PENN
sula cemetery. About six o'clock Louis
Lane, a young man who rasides at No.
1l3 Fourteenth street, fell asleep on one
of the vaults and woke about ten O'Clock
TO find darkness over head. He started
TO leave the place and in trying to do so
stumbled over the fence, one OF the iron
ualings running into the fleshy part OF
his leg, about seven inches, near the
thigh.
He was 10 this position and endured
this agony over an hour before his cries
for help attracted attention. Four
young men who were near heard him
and when he saw them approaching he
supposed rescue from his agonizlng
position was at hand. Contrary to his
expectations and In spite OF his plead
ings they refused to aid him. They
said they "were sorry" and before leav-
ing gave him a stick which they told
MIN he might place upon the fence and
relieve some OF the weight OF
his body, which was being
borne by his impaled limb.
The cowardly wretches then started off,
but finally did one act OF mercy by
arousing Mr.. Kraft, on Sixteenth street,
and telling him of what they had seen.
Mr.. Kraft, accompanied by his son, imme-
dlately went to where the young man
was hanging on the fence and lifted him
down and carried him to his home. DR..
Beabout was called after midnight to
dress the wound. The injured man will
be fortunate II 1t results In nothing
worse than flesh wound. No reason
can be assigned for the action OF these
parties, who might have relieved Mr..
Lane from his misery and did not, save
that they lacked the moral courage and
were devoid OF human kindness.

MrRpER DURING THE FIRE.

About four o'clock when the fire was
just being gotten under control, and
many people were leaving for their
homes or places Of business, a report
was swiftly circulated that a man had
been killed. At first it was suspected
that he had met his death from fall
ing wall, but it was quickly ascertained
that this was not the case, and that the
crime OF murder had been added to the
other sensational events of the day.
The victim was Jonathan l.. Ferree,
a halter, doing business on the north
side of Market street, and his murderer
was Charles Lowe, a very well known
young man, said by some to be rela-
tive OF Ferree. The tragedy took place
in Mr.. Ferree's store, aud the weapons
welded by Lowe were q Ratchet and a
billy.
Lowe robbed the store after the muir
der, taking Sis from the cash drawer.
There was so much excitement over
the fire that it was very difficult to OBJ
tain exact information regarding the
ARRAY, but from what could be ascer-
tanned Lowe drove up to the store in a
buggy and going in, asked 10 be trusted
for a hat and cap. Ferree declined to
give him credit for the articles, and
from this quarrel started, which end
ed in Ferree having his head crushed in
with two blows from the poll Of a
Ratchet, the blows taking effect about
two and half inches above the eyes.
There were also grave wounds farther
back on the head, said to have been
made with billy. After striking the IA
tai blows Lowe ran out OF the store and
made his escape, the Chief of Police re-
porting at a quarter after six that he
had not only not been captured, but
that there was no certain trace OF his
whereabouts.
Mr.. Ferree was removed from his
store TO his home on Adams street,
where his death occurred about six
o'clock. Lowe is said by those well &C
ouainted with him to have been not
quite right mentally. but just what
Dassed between him and mis- victim,
leading to the murderous assault is un-
known. There must have been quite 3
Struggle in the store between the two
men, however. as boxes were upset and
goods much disordered in the neighbor-
hood Of the struggle.

A Serious Row Mt Bsllaire.

Last evening n. ID. Reeder, OF Ben
wood, complained at the Mayors Office
in that city that he had been assaulted
and badly beaten up, at the ferry land
ing, by Seymour Dunlap, Scott Lavelle
and Jack Gallagher. He said he was
playing cards in saloon near the ferry
when a row started, and when he left
and went TO the landing the three>m
followed him and did HIM up. Lave'le
and Gallagher were arrested soon after
the trouble.

from the burning building. and 1t was
freely reported during the fire that be
would die from his injuries. Happily,
his hurts are not so bad. William STARK
was among those VINO jumped, and II
was also reported that he had been
badly hurt, but his bruises we're Of a
trifling nature. Several other people
had narrow escapes from injury. but
none were hurt beyond few trifiing
burns.
AS the fire progressed most OF the
walls OF the burned buildings came
down with a crash, and at four o'clock
one standing on the west side OF Fourth
street and looking east, could have an
uninterrupted view clear across through
Court street to Third, distance OF Two
squares. The whole OF the lower por-
tlon of the immense. square was mass
of torn aud twisted walls, smoking en-
bers and blazing ruins, while on the
south side Of the block, along Adams
street, the buildings were almost COM
pletely wrecked, the water destroying
what the fire had spared. With the ex-
ceptlon of &. S. Coble's brick residence,
and Lemuel Brannen0urg's grocery, on
the corner OF Fourth and Adams streets,
both structures being OF brick, not a
building on that half Of the square will
ever be habitable again.
On the west side Of Fourth street sew
eral Of the business houses were badly
damaged by the intense heat, and on
two or three the fire got pretty good
hold. 1t looked for a time, about half
past three, as if the square west OF
Fourth street would share the fate OF
that east of it, and many household ef-
fects and business stocks were removed
to places of greater security.

The worst fire known to the history
OF Steubenville broke out in B. n.

of Fourth street, about half-past two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and burn
ing for two hours, totally destroyed
about twenty buildings, and damaged a

The aggregate loss was variously es-

There was no loss OF life directly at

TRIP OF THE WHEELING FIREMEN.
1t was four o'clock when the work OF
loading the Atlantic engine and hose
wagon on two fat cars was completed
at Fourteenth and Water streets, aud
Engineer Frank Leary pulled open the
throttle OF engine No. SIS. On board the
cars, in addition to Foreman John Rit-
ter and his crew, were Conncilmen Rob-
ertson and Dinger, OF the Fire Commit
tee, d. r, Brooks, John l.. Shriver,
Attorney 7. NJ. Garvin, Sheriff a. A.
Franzheim, Constable Lon st. Meyers,
Lieutenant Walter Terrill, Officer
William Carney, George Stamm, Frank
Caldwell, Edward Duffy, and a dozen
or fifteen more equally well known peo.
pie, all intent on seeing the fire and
lending helping hand. The progress
made was not fast until the "Top" mill
was reached, then Engineer Leary let
his machine out In earnest, and the way
that engine ran was caution TO the
crowd upon the fat cars with the
steamer and hose wagon. Short Creek
was reached in seven minutes after
leaving the mill, Wellsburg in seven
teen minutes from Wheeling, and when
the flying engine was pulled up at
Wheeling Junction she had made the
run from the TOP" mill in just
twenty-eight minutes, doing mile
minute for good deal OF
the way. In five minutes more
the train was at the Panhandle depot
in Steubenvile, and the engine was be-
ing unloaded, while the Wheeling men,
black with engine smoke aud their eyes
and ears filed with cinders, broke for
the fire, dragging the hose wagon with
them. The train had been given a
great cheer as it flew through Wells
burg by the large crowd about the de-
pot, but that was nothing to the hearty
greeting they got from the people OF
Steubenville, and many ran out from the
sidewalks TO help drag the fire machines
through the streets to the corner OF
Fourth and Adams streets. The
visitors were given hearty greet
Ing on every side, although not man
of them could have been recognized by
his dearest friend, so covered were they
with dirt. Preparations were at once
made to get the Atlantic to work, but 1t
was found that the engine coupling
would not fit the fire plug, and without
taking action TO remedy this defect, 1t
was decided that the Steubenvile fire.
men were sufficient to finish the fight
they had carried on so well, and in
half an hour or so the Wheeling outfit
was taken back to the cars and loaded
for the return trip. The train arrived
back in this city about half-past seven
o'clock.
The smoke from the burning build
ings in Steubenville could be seen from
the Wheeling train soon after 1t passed
through Welsburg, and there was
much excitement manifested all along
the road, the people being out at almost
every farmhouse and dwelling from
Welsburg to the Junction, and every

TENDER ASPARAGUS.

Tho annoying feature Of some as

ness of the lower portion, says
Mechan's Monthly. 1t Is very aggra-
vating, as to many people the lower
or white portion is the most toothsomc
of the whole. But there is sometimes
asparagus which from tip to toe,
throughout its whole length, from the
thick base to the green or purple top,
Is as tender as IL sprig Of cauliflowcr,
so tender that it will almost melt IN

it is done in different way.
The plants are set out in beds about
fonr feet wide, and when spring comes
very light, rich earth is placed some
six Inches deep over tho plants, to be
rakcd OF into the allcyways and again
thrown over the plants in spring.
Much the same results can be OBJ
obtained by deep planting, provided
the soil be very light. aud this saves
the labor and trouble which tho
specialist In asparagus culture gives to
the culture of the plant. In our
country, whore good labor is hard to
get. and costs much when found, the

And the thrush Is singing his sweetest

And the music tells OF woe.

And whispers, as under the flowers we stray,
I'll love you 40, mother dear!'

Abuse of the Stomach.

Different constitutions have pecu-
'ihrities in regard to the way in which
they assimilate food, and the old
adagc that what Is one mans meat is
anothcr's poison Is very true one.
There is no nilmcnt more common
in middle life and In old age than in
digestion. This, Of course, depends
uloh improper food taken too fre-
qucntly and in undue quantity. AS u
rule tho victim of Indigestion flies 10
medicines for relief, or to one Of tho
thousand-and-ono quack remedies that
are advertised to cure everything.
How much more rational would II
not be to altcr tho diet, and TO givo
the stomach the food for which it is
craving! If the stomach could talk,
l can Imagine il, after pills, and gin
and bittcrs. aud quack remedies of
every description have been poured
into 1t, begging to DO relieved or such
horrors, and saying, "Give me little
rest, aud cup of beef tea aud bis
cult, and 60 and take little fresh air
and exercise YOURSELF" Instead of
this, the miserable organ has to be
djscd with all sorts of horrible con-
coctions in the way Of drugs, brandies
and sodas, and champagne, to cndeav-
or 10 stimulate 1t Into action. There
is no doubt that the stomach that re.
quircs slimulants and po,ions to ell.
able it to act efficiently, can hardly be
said to bo in healthy state, or can
long continue to do its work properly.
The digestive organs. un fortunately,
are the first to sympa,hize with any
mental worry. They are like a bar
omcter, and indicate tho errors of
malnu'rition and their consequences.
Tho healthy action of every organ de-
pends upon tho proper assimilation of
the food taken. As soon as the di-
ges,ivo process fails, everything fails,
