ANOTHER WRECK
At TIE BOGGS RUS CROSSING OF THE B. & O.,
LAST NIGHT.
An Electric Motor Struck By Two "Wili" Freight
Cars, and Badly Mashed Up-No One
Hurt But Couple Of Mar.
row Escapes.

At Just five minutes after nine o'clock
last night, there was another accident
at the Bogg's run crossing of the B. &
o. railaoad. Two empty freight cars,
going at q high rate OF speed, struck a
street car with terrible force, carrying
IL twenty feet up the railroad tracks.
The car was badly wrecked, but strange
70 say no one was hurt There were
two very narrow escapes, however.
Had the street car been filed with pas
sengers, as is usual, nothing could have
saved some OF their lives.
Street car No. IS, motOred by Thomas
Mason and conducted by James Hig-
gins. was going toward Benwood. The
B. & o. yard engine was coming from
the Riverside iron works with number
of empty freight cars. About four
hundred yards from the crossing
coupling OF the train broke, leaving
two cars behind, and the engine and
the cars attached TO IL gained on the two
cars which were loose. Mr.. Higgins, who
had left the electric car. and gone 10
advance, as the rules require, saw the
engine and some cars 90 BY, and
gave the signal for bis car to
cross the tracks. When 1t was
on the center Of the crossing the two
rapidly moving loose cars, following the
train by their own momentum, came
into view. They we're then not twenty
five yards distant from the crossing.
Mr.. Higgins shouted 10 the mOtorman
and the one passenger on board to save
their lives by jumping. The motOrman
jumped and escaped injury. He was no
more than of the car when the freights
crashed against it, carrying the car be-
for them. The passenger escaped as
narrowly from the other end OF the car.
No one appeared 70 know his name and
he gave no one time to inquire. He
was badly frightened man, and judg-
ing from the gait he acquired toward
Benwood he is running yet. The pass
enger has not been seen since.
A large force from the car barns were
soon al the scene. and Superintendents
LOTUS ADD Tucker arrived in a shon
time. The damaged car was lacked up,
and after an hours hard work was on
the tracks again. The wrecked car
was then hauled 6y another car TO the
barns with much difficulty. B. & o.
trains were delayed and before the
wreck was removed there were four
trains punched near the crossing.
Blame is not laid on any Of the par
ties implicated, and Mr.. Higgins Is re-
garded as Que Of the most careful en-
plUyes of the railway company.

The Hearing Did not Take Riaee Aester
day, but Stands Continued.
The hearing OF Harry Temple Grill
fifth. the man with moro wives than the
law allows, was to have come of before
Justice Gillespy, at ten o'clock yester-
day morning, but after some discussion
OF the matter by the Justice, Prosecut-
ing Attorney Howard, for the State,
and Messrs. DoveDer & Conih. counsel
for Griffith. the matter was continued
without day, to permit OF the securing
OF additional evidence. An incident OF
the scene in the Office OF the
Justice was the presentation OF an
affidavit from Mamie Peters, who has
figured as the Martins Ferry wife, or
wife No. J." in which she attempted
to show an undue interest, II no pre-
judce, on the part of the Justice, and
in which she denied she was ever mar
ried 10 Temple. This amdaVit
was made the basis Tor a
motion by Captain Dovener to transfer
the case TO another Justice, which mo-
ton twas denied, the Justice saying be
would try the case il there was one TO
be tried. He also declined to continue
the case for week, saying that1 lem
pie was innocent be was entitled 70
know it sooner than that, and that VIE
No. 2, from North Carolina, was anxi-
Gus to go back home as soon as possible.
Last evening this tendency to go home
became so strongly marked that the
lady from North Carolina was put under
$500 bond as a witness.
The probabilities are that the hearing
OF the case will como on about Tuesday
or Wednesday, and evidences that IL
will DO 'real interesting" are not want

How It,rh Will Kit. Go.

It is onc of the most difficult undcrtak- ings imaginable to even approximately cs- timatc the height of kite above the earth. This is on account Of the fact that objects floatinG in tho mir seem to he far thcr away than they rcally arc. IL may be safely said that 1, 500 feet is the maximum altitude that can possibly he attained by a single kite. A kite flying at tho height mentioned will appear even to a conserva- tive observer to bc nearly if not quite q half mile above the surface of tho earth, but n careful measurement of tho string and its angle will quickly prove that it could not have been more than fourth of n mile above the ground. Ordinarily a kite will go no higher, even If more string be paid out. This Is because tho wind dcprcsscs the cord and causes the kite to really rccede when it appears to rise. It has been said that it Is possible to arrange several kites in such q manner that they will reach n higher altitude than it is possible to attain with q single kite In this manner, wherc three, four. or even n dozen kites have been used, re markablc heights have been reached, 2, 800 feet having been attained in one in stance-St. Louis Republic.
