stately pouter cock in the engraving
was skrtched from winning bird
shown in England by the well-known
Scotchman and writer on pigeons,
Robert Fulton. These birds have IN
their show cages a pedestal on which
tn stand that they may pose erect. this
being the ideal carriage for pouters,
as the length of their tails prevents
the bird from standing straight when
shown on the floor of the show cage.
Length and slenderness of girth are
properties quite as much looked for III
these birds as is the large, roundly'
inflated crop. The fullncss in the back
of the crop in this pouter was point to
which Mr.. Fulton especially called my
attention as being much coveted and
priced by fanciers. These birds meas

beak to tip of tail. The legs, also,

while showing it to me was only a

Mrs. Mary Sinsel was born at Nor

was about 60 years of age, and was
one of the best known and most pop

sided at Pruntytown, she has always
taken part in the social and religious
work of the town and vicinity, and
was known and loved by all for her
kind and loving disposition and for
her many charitable acts. Mrs. Sin

A CLOSE CALL
For U. s. Marshal Garden, ex-Secre.
tary Of State Ohley and Others
in a Railway Accident.

On last Friday morning soon after
midnight an accident occurred or
the B. d O. at Tunnelton that re
suited in the serious injury of sew
eral passengers most prominent
among whom were United States
Marshall A. D. Garden, William A
Ohley, ex Secretary of the State, and
Miss Lulu Downtain, of Charleston
The three had been visiting in King
wood and we're on their way tc
Charleston going by Washington.
The two trains that came into
collision should have passed at Graf.
ton but one of them was some hours
late and had instructions to pass at
Tunnelton. Through the big tunnel
at that place there is single track
and as the east bound train was
pulling through the switch on to the
double track at the east end it was
side wiped by the west bound limi.
ted, the locomotive crushing a coach
and tearing into the sleeper almost
demolishing it.
The steam chest and other outside
appliances on the engine were de-
molished. and as a result a dense
cloud of live steam poured into the
sleeper, permeating to every portion
of the car
Most of the passengers were in
their berths but Messrs. Garden and
Ohley, Mrs. Fortney and Miss Down
tain, who had just got on the car at
Tunnelton, were in the vestibule and
smoking room, not having been as
signed to berths.
The shock of the collision hurled
several from their berths, and threw
Messrs. Garden and Ohley and the
two ladies to the car floor, where
they were at once enveloped in the
scalding steam which poured into
the sleeper from the engine, the end
of which protruded into the car.
The uninjured passengers and
those but slightly hurt soon made
their escape from the car, but Messrs.
Ohley and Garden, Miss Downtain,
Miss Taylor and Mrs. Fortney were
compelled to inhale the hot air and
steam and to lie exposed to the
scalding vapor for some minutes, this
fact largely accounting for the more
serious injuries they sustained.
The four most seriously injured
are still at Tunnelton.
The accident was due to not seeing
the signals clearly by Engineer Hill
leary. Sim Taylor was conductor
of No. l.
The latest report we have from
the injured passengers is the follow
ing dispatch from Tunnelton:
Marshal Garden, ex-Secretary of
State Ohley, Miss Downtain and
Mrs. Fortney are all improving rap
idly. They are all resting quietly
and suffering no pain. Their scalds
while painful are not serious, and
there will be no Disagreement in any
case. The attending physicians say
they can be removed home by the
last of the week.

T0DD'S HISTORY.
A Criminal One all ThrOugh-His Right
Name is Wallace Stansbury.


1t now turns out that Walter
Todd is not the right name of the
man who got ten years recently for
breaking Jail at Parkersburg.
The chief of-police of Grafton saw
Todd at the penitentiary a few days
ago and recognized him instantly as
being Wallace Stansbury, of Graf
ton, and an all-round criminal. He
has served two terms in the peniten
tiary besides the present one.
The first arrest Capt. j. r. MeheL
made after assuming the office of
Deputy U. S. Marshal was that of
Stansbury, for robbing bonded
warehouse near Grafton. That was
eight years ago and Stansbury was
sentenced to a term of two years
He served the term out and then
burglarized house in Grafton and
got three years for that offense
A little over year ago Stansbury
held up a man near Grafton, and
robbed him, was arrested for high
way robbery and jailed at Grafton.
They had a splendid case against
him and he would probably have
gone up for life but about year ago
he broke jail and was not heard of
afterward until his recognition by
the Grafton marshal at the peniten-
tiary. Captain Mehen would prob
ably have recognized him as STAINS
bury but, as it happened, he never
saw him during his Imprisonment
and trial under the name of Todd.
Stansbury's mother lives in Graf
ton and is worthy and universally
respected lady, to whom the behav-
ipr Of her son is . great trial.
