THEY WILL RIDE TO-DAY.

The City Mail Carriers VIII be secn on
the street Cars as of Old.
For the last month the fourteen mail
carriers Of the city have not been riding
on the street cars. The reason of this
was that the Postoffice Department at
Washington, d. c., had been paying
the Wheeling Street Railway Company
$500 a year for the right Of the carriers
TO ride, and on the first OF last month
the Street Car Company refused
TO take the $500 longer, after
proper notification to the post
master. The Company wanted S72o
wear. This made the work very
much harder for the carriers, and many
OF them could not stand the walking In
the intense heat well, and were Ill as
the result. Postmaster Okane went
TO Washington to see what he could DO
in the matter, and A. Is. Champion,
President Of the Street Car Company,
was in the city seeing If it could not be
arranged that the carriers ride again.
A result was reached yesterday morn
ing. and under il the Street Car Com
pany is to get $500 q year'for the right
OF the mail men TO ride. The carriers
began TO ride again yesterday alter
noon, and they are very happy over the
result.

HORACE D. BAKER,
ALIAS A DOZEN OTHER NAMES, ARRESTED IN
NEW JERSEY
For Beating the Warrington Bank On! Of S5OO'
10 Has Victimizad Number Of ---.+
Other Institutions

A telegram from Vineland, New Jer
sew, says that Horace d. Baker, q crook
with long record, has been arrested
there for victimlzing a Wheeling bank
out OF $4,000.
This telegram is erroneous in the
location of the bank and the amount
obtained. The bank is the Bank OF
Warrington, and the sum was not
So, 600, but $500. The arrest was made
by Frank Burt, one OF the proprietors
OF the Corner Stone, OF this city, Tor
merly connected with the Burt detsc-
tive agency Of Wheeling.
Baker has dozen aliases, and seems
TO be slick rascal. He is alleged TO
have beaten the National and Trades
mans banks at Vineland out OF large
sum, and to have also victlmlzed
Maryland bank to the tune OF $500.
Other banks In various parts OF the
country have likely also suffered. In
addition to the name OF Baker, he also
has fondness for that Of j. w. Ford.
Other aliases are G. w. Nelson, Ralph
E. Hunter, A. G., Karkley, Sherman
Mitchell, Henry w. Hunter, c.
E. Hiscock, Il. E Roberts, w. b.
Drummer, Victor Fennick, Robert E.
Taylor, w. H. Myers, w. B. Norton and
Lawrence Stevens. His method OF
operating is TO go to q town, join
church, and take an active interest In
prohibition work. He would thus worm
his way into the graces OF prominent
church people, manage TO be introduced
by some respectable and wealthy gen.
tleman at bank, deposit bogus drafts
or checks, draw against the account and
skip out for another field.
No Wheeling bank has lost anything
through this artist, but his list OF VIC
Tins is believed to be long one. He is
now in custody in New Jersey and will
probably be taken to Maryland when
the New Jersey banks are through with
him.

4 BOILER EXPLOSION
At TIE WHEELING STEEL PLANT LAST
EVENING.
No Ono Hurt, But Many Had Narrow Escapes
Thousand People Attracted to the Scene.
Work Not Delayed.

Just at six o'clock last evening one OF
the old boilers at the Wheeling steel
works in Lower Benwood let go. The
sound of the explosion could be heard
for fully mile. 1t is considered re-
markable that no one was hurt or harm
ed in any way by the explosion. There
were a number of the narrowest kind OF
escapes, however.
When the sound Of the explosion was
heard people focked to the mill to see
what was wrong, thinking that some one
had been killed. When the smoke. and
steam had died away, and an investiga-
ton was made, and no one found hurt,
there was rejoicing among the steel
workers as well as the large crowd as
sembled. 1t Is said that crowd OF fully
one Thousand people were at the mill In
less than five minutes after the report
was heard.
During the remodeling OF the steel
works recently many new boilers were
placed in the plant, but several OF the
old ones ere left, the company think
ing that they could be used for time.
II was one of these which let go last
evening, and 1t was one that bad done
service at the works for many years.
The explosion could not have occ urred
at a more lucky time, as the men were
just changing turns. The day turn had
Just left its work and the night one was
coming on. This probably was the rea-
son that no life was lost By the explo-
sion. Just few minutes before the
accident the fireman had been at the
boiler and had fired it. He had gone on
to another battery and was at work
there when the crash came. He made o
narrow escape. Pieces OF the boiler
were thrown far beyond the mill through
the iron roof. The boiler was totally
demolished.
No part Of the mill, fortunately, had
to close down by reason OF the acct
dent, as other boilers were at once put
into use, and delay OF not more than
a half hour was caused.

terdsy morning they had an experience
at the camp. During the night previous
the campers heard something like the
racket mice would make under the pal
lets on which they slept They paid
little attention to the noise. Yesterday
morning after they had arisen, black
snake, measuring i've feet came from
under their beds. They soon shot the
reptile. Chris Zigler was among the
worst scared OF the lot. Had they
known the snake was sleeping so near
them, it is hard to imagine what they
would have done.
