The Local Military VIII Not Go to the
Seaside This Year.
The Board of Officers of the Second
Regiment Infantry, \. G. c., last even
ing decided that owing TO the great ex-
pense the regiment could not hold its
next encampment at Santa Cruz. 1t was
estimated that to go to the seaside resort
would cost each company between 500
and $3.50. which IS great deal more than
some of them could afford.
A committee was appointed to go to
Vallejo and inspect the grounds IN that
vicinity for camp purposes.
Some Of the officers are in favor of
holding the next camp in Sacramento,
but the majority are against the PROPOSE

night that the injured man would get

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT BENWOoD, YES

Which Nay Resul! in the Death of Edward Pal
lsy-Othsr Casualties Reported From
About the City.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning
there was another bad accident at the
Wheeling steel works in lower Ben
wood. Edward Palley, middle aged. of
Benwood, and well-krown steel work
err, was the victim. From the time of
the accident until $3.50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, he had remained uncon-
scious and it was thought then that he
could not recover.
The accident occurred at the same
place which has been the scene Of
so many casualties. Just about
one year ago at the same place and in
the same manner William Thompson,
Benwood steel worker, met his death.
Mr.. Paley was at work at the vessel
beneath the shield. The vessel is on a
platform seven feet from the ground.
The shield Is twenty feet above the
platform. Stag is blown and hangs on
the shield, making this the most peril

Of the head. He was knocked from the
platform, and his fellow workmen found
MIN in the roadway 10 an unconscious
condition. He was carried to the office
of DR.. J. w. Mcdonald, in Benwood,
and Drs T. Ii. Meighen, Clyde Ford
and Armbrecht were called. 1t was
found that there was cut in the front
part Of his head, and extending round
both sides, so that the entire scalp
could all but be removed. The doctors
thought too that his skull was frac-
tured. The injuries were dressed, and
early yesterday morning the injured
man was taxed to his home in Lower
Benwood, Mr.. Palley has wife and
family.

Both the rail factories at the LaBelle

The believed furnace at the tube

The furnace will be on the same as
before this morning.
The iron work Is being rapidly pushed

crossing more slowly. The new furnace

been on since the beginning OF the hard
times. The resumption will give en-
poyment to about sixty persons.
Since the settlement of the great coal
miners strike by the compromise at
Columbus, there has been dissatsfac-
ton among the miners Of the lower
Benwood mill. The miners went TO
work at the Columbus scale. Other
banks 10 the locality went TO work for
less than the new scale. Coal was
offered to the mill at less price than
that paid their miners. The manage
ment threatened to get coal from the
other places II their diggers would not
work for less. II will be gratifying TO
learn that this difference has been en-
tirely settled by concessions having
been made on both sides.
1t was the intention to start the sani-
tary works at Titonvllle the first Of
next month. Another hitch has arisen,
and now the plant, which has been in
the hands Of a receiver since last May,
NAV not be started for an indefinite
period. The parties holding some OF
the largest mortgages against the com-
pany have refused to grant a further
extension OF time. Some Of the work
men, who have claims against the COM
pany, are now In Trenton, and will only
concede to arrangements 10 the settle
ment which the firm cannot grant.
This IS a great discouragement as the
works, when running, are the life OF
Tiltonviile.

TIE CASUALTY RECORD.
The Accidents Reported From About the
City Yesterday.


Wednesday afternoon, on the road in
front of the Riverside iron works,
James Graham, farmer, living back Of
Benwood, met with an accident. He
was driving his horses and wagon
there when a street car came along.
There is a steep hill on the side next
the works, and the frightened horses
dashed toward it. The wagon was up
set, and the old man was precipitated
face downwards over the bank. Sew
eral men who saw the accident ran 10
his assistance and hel ped him up. Mr.
Graham was painfully bruised, but not
dangerously hurt. The horses and
wagon did not go over the hill.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon,
there was a peculiar accident at Twenty
sixth and Chapline streets. One of the
mules from the Belmont coal mines, at
the head Of Twenty-si1th street, was
bringing a load OF coal toward the mill.
When Chapline street was reached, the
mule with the car took bee line up the
thoroughfare. That mule never pulled
a load Of coal before, 1t is safe to say,
as fast as he did that one for some
distance. The mule was finally checked
and 90 one was hurt. 1t was lucky
thing that there were no street cars
there, aud few wagons passing at the
time OF the accident.
At his work at the La Belle nail de-
partment yesterday afternoon, Charles
Gegner, OF South Water street, met
with very painful accident In some
manner the middle finger OF his left
hand was caught in machine, and
very badly torn, 1t may have TO be
amputed.
Fred Rudy, boss at the Riverside
iron works, met with an accident yes
terday morning. He was at work at
the gas producer, when there was a
slight explosion Of gas. One OF his
hands was badly burned, and be will be
of work for some time as a result.
Wednesday night James Nolan, Of
Benwood, employed in The skelp depart
ment Of the lower Benwood mill, met
with a painful accident. A lever fell on
the thumb Of his right hand nearly
MASKING the member of. He will be
laid up for some time.
A few days ago the two-year-old
daughter OF Charles Baker, Of South
Jacob street, was painfully scaded.
The child spilled cup Of boiling tea on
itself, badly burning its lower limbs.
