Vain Efforts Of a Faithful Dog TO Save
Boy

WHEELING, VI. VA, August s.
The Baltimore and Ohio train due
here at a. m. brought the horribly
mangled remains Of James Settle, a
sixteen-year-old boy, who had been
killed by the same train at Point
Mills. The boy spent last night
with a party of friends in the woods,
and got but little sleep. When he
came home this morning he drove
the COWS to pasture, accompanied by
q big, faithful shepherd dog. He
was very drowsy, and on the way
back sat down on the track to rest,
the doy lying beside him. Engineer
Henry Mckinney, in charge of the
train says that when the train round
ed the curve beyond the Point Mills
he saw the boy lying full length
along the rail. The dog, knowing
the danger, had seized his coat col,
lar, and was tugging with all his
might, having his feet planted just
outside the rail, trying to pull his
masters body of the track. The
body was partially awakened by the
dogs efforts, and began beating the
faithful brute with his fist, but the
dog held on and put forth all his
power to save his master. AS the
engine drew nearer, Mckinney and
the fireman shut their eyes to hide
the death scene from their view, but
felt the cruel wheels crunchiug the
bones of their victims. When the
train was stopped and run back both
the boy and his constant companion
was found horribly mangled.

men on bases, Pitzer knocked the
sphere over the fence and three runs

GREEN CLAY SMITH DEAD
Politician, Soldier, and Pastor
Passes Into the Beyond.
UNCONSCIOUS AT THE END
1t Was Believed That His Condition
wasImproving, buta Collapse Came
and He Quickly Died-The Funeral
VIII Occur Tomorrow and 1t VIII
Be q Soldiers.

Gen. Green Clay Smith, once Prohibition
candidate for President, a war veteran,
and in recent years the well-known pastor
of Metropolitan Baptist Church, died at
his home in northeast Washington, at 1886
o'clock, yesterday afternoon.
For several months he had been in poor
health and over fortnight ago malignant
caTbuncle began to develop on his neck.
1t rapidly increased and despite the efforts
of his physicians blood poisoning set in
and the condition of the distinguished
patient became alarming
His condition had been very critical dur
ing the week, but there was noticeable
gain yesterday, which gave rise to hopes
for his recovery. A collapse occurred,
however, shortly before noon yesterday,
the patient began sinking and the end
soon came.
He had been unconscious for many
hours before his death, and early in the
morning those aror-id him realized that
the end was near. When death came Mrs.
Smith was at the bedside, with her three
children. The generals brother arrived
from Kentucky few days ago, and has
been with him constantly ever since.
TO BE BURIED MONDAY.
The funeral will occur Monday and is
to be in charge of the Masonic order of
which Gen. Smith was a member. The
active pall-bearers have not yet been Sc
lected but they will be members OF the
Union Veteran Legion No Ill, of which
Gen. Smith was past commander, Union
Veteran Union, and the Washington Cen
tenuial Lodge No. Ia, of Masons. The
G.. A. R. posts have been requested by
Commander Anderson to attend in body.
In Difference to a wish expressed by the
general shortly before he died, no sermon
will be preached at the funeral. 1t
was characteristic OF the man to wish to
be in death as he had been in life, a
pastor, and the deacons of the church will
conduct the funeral services. The body
will be carried from the residence, No. GIL
Massachusetts avenue northeast, to the
church OF which he was pastor. The
iutermeut will be at Arlington.
Two brothers, DR.. c. G. and Mr.. j. Speed
Smith survive the general. All of General
Smiths children are living. Mrs. White
