FELL DOWNSTAIRS.
AN AGED EAST WHEELING MAN ACCIDENT
ALLY KILLED
Last Evening About 6 O'Clock By Falling Down
the Cellar Stairway at Ills Home on
Elizabeth Street.

A very peculiar aud distressing acci-
dent was reported to the Coroner about
six o'clock last night. An old gentle
man named August Halter fell down a
stairway from the kitchen TO the cellar,
and when found life was extinct
Mr.. Halter, who is man aged about
seventy.thfee years, had been out 10
the stable in the rear OF the house feed
ing some stock, and had Ian
tern with him. He came into
tho house and went into the
kitchen, where ne put out the light
In the lantern and went TO hang it up
ia the stairway which led from the
kitchen to the cellar. There was no
one in the kitchen but himself at the
time OF the accident and no ore knows
how it happened, but il is suppl ed that
in reaching out to put the lan@rn on
the nail where 1t was kept he overbal-
anced and fell to the bottom OF the
stairs.
His son-in-aw, Mr.. Nicholas Pack,
with whom he lived, said last night
that all they knew Of the affair was
that he and his wife heard the racket
and in going down to the cellar found
the old gentleman lying at the bottom
of the stairs. Mr.. Halter was carried
up TO the kitchen and physician sum
moned, who examined the body and re-
ported that life was extinct. Coroner
Schultze was notified of the affair and
went out, but after hearing the story OF
those present decided that IL was no,
necessary TO hold an inquest.

GALLAGHER ARRESTED.
fBg LOCAL BEAD OF IRE FIDELITY COMPANY
LOCKED UP YESTERDAY
Charged With Fraudulsnily Obtaining Money
Several Arrss Made BY the Police, and
Cher Criminal Happenings.

AS an outgrowth OF the recent trouble
experienced by the Fidelity Building
and Loan Company and the Columbia
Building and Loan Association, w. Il.
Gallagher, the local manager, and Miss
Theresa Smith, his stenographer and
typewriter, were arrested yesterday al
ternoon on a charge OF obtaining money
by fraudulent means.
The warrants for Gallagher and Miss
Smith were sworn out by Henry tloto,
before Squire Gillespy, and the one on
which Gallagher was arrested charged
him with obtaining Sl55. so from Floto
by false pretense. At the same Time
as the warrants were sworn out, one
was issued for Gallagher's brother, An
drew C. Gallagher, out the officers could
not find him, and ii is thought be has
skipped out.
The prisoners were taken before
SQUIRE Gillespy, who held them in 81, 900
bail for their appearance before the
Grand Jury. Miss Smith was fortunate
enough to secure bond, but Gallagher
was not, and he had to go to jail.
A former perIntendent OF these com
panies, T. B. Fulsom, is wanted on the
same charge, preferred by Henry Floto,
but as Fulsom was out OF the city the
warrant could not be served yesterday,
but probably will be should he return.
1t is alleged there are large number
OF other people who are wanting back
the money they put into these compa-
MES, and 1t is likely there will be some
more warrants sworn out, aCd as soon as
Gallagher has been able to secure his re-
Ease by furnishing the required bond,
ne will probably be arrested again.

CATHEDRAL MISSION.
The Second Day of the Special Services
for Men.


Nearly sixteen hundred men were
present within the Cathedral walls yes
terdaY evening to attend the mission.
There was not sufficient room In the
pews and galleries, so camp seats and
benches were placed down the aisle,
yet there was not sufficient sitting room
and nearly one hundred men were
standing iu the back OF the church.
AT five o'clock yesterday nearly five hun
dred men were present. The instruc'
ton was on confession.
In the evening. Rev. Father Clark
spoke on the necessity OF one faith only.
A hymn was sung by the whole congre-
CATION of men. The chorus of male
voices sounded very pretty, and many
were no doubt surprised 10 discover that
they had capabilities OF singing.
A beautiful sermon was then preached
by Rev. Father Younan on sin. DE
showed how an evil life made our very
existence a failure. His sermon was
very impressive. With powerful ex-
am Piles from Holy Scripture he displayed
the evil effects OF sin.
