BADLY INJURED.
A Workman at the Wheeling Steel
Works Severely Crushed Monday
by a Piece Of Falling Steel.

A serious accident occurred at the
Riverside plant of the Wheeling Iron
and Steel Company on Monday, by
which a workman was badly injured
and may not recover from the effect
Of the injuries sustained. A number
of men were working around what is
called a skull cracker" an affair that
is used to break big steel and other
metal-a sort of derrick. which hoists
a big ball of metal and then lets it
drop
A piece Of steel had just been broken
and the men were carrying away big
bar, when it slipped from their grasp
and fell. In falling the steel caught a
workman named John Cayton under it
and severely injured him. One of his
legs was completely crushed and the
bones in the other one were broken in
several places.
After the accident happened the
workmen removed the metal off Cay
tons body as quickly as possible, and
DR.. Mcdonald was summoned. The
examination by the physician disclos-
ed the above mentioned injuries. and
he gave it as his opinion that the man
was injured internally.
One leg is so badly crushed
that it is altogether probable it will
have to be amputated, and perhaps both
of them will have to come off. Cay
ton is so badly injured that his recOv-
cry is doubtful

The grand jury of the Criminal
Court resumed its sitting yesterday
morning, and early turned its atten-
ton to a further investigation of the
pugilistic branch of sport as carried on
in this county in the past. A number
of newspaper men were slng.ed out as
being proper persons to shed 4 Hood OIL
light on the nature of the transactions
within the roped arena, although thele
was no lack of other available material
ready to hand. The reporters called
upon answered the questions pro-
pounded to them and were dismissed,
and the result was no indictments
against the parties who on Monday
were thought to possibly stand IN Jeo-
pardy.
The Jury came into Court with its
report at 3:35 D. m, but before the in
dictments were read the assembled
representatives of the press were in
formed that by the order Of the Pros
ecuting Attorney no indictments what
ever were TO be given TO the press. IL
was the first time in the history OF
Ohio county that the public had been
thus shut out from glance at this tea-
ture of a public court of justice, and
enquiries as to the reason for the order
elected the information that there
were indictments for felonies against
a number of persons who were not IN
custody. 1t subsequently turned out
that there was in reality just one such
indictment, and that there was thir-
teen hours before the morning papers
would appear in which to make the ar
rest. In view of this Sheriff Franz
helm expressed his willingness to have
the indictments published, with the
one exception, but Clerk Mitchell said
the order must be Obeyed, and the in
dictments were carried off.
The true bills were eighty-one in
number. Three were returned not true
bills, and three indictments go over
until the next term, because of the inn
possibility of getting hold of the pros
ecuting witnesses. Only five or six
indictments were for felonies. Eleven
women were indicted for misdemean
ors, and about a dozen men are in the
same boat, one having four true bills
against him and another six One
couple had thirty-siX true bills for mis-
demeanors returned against them.
Court adjourned until this morning
at ten o'clock.

FAIRS THAT ARE UNFAIR.
How Too Much Charity A fleets Wash
tngtOn Nero Clnnfs.

Editor Times: There is serious sub
Ject staring the merchants IN the face, one
that is much overdonc. 1t is the soliciting
for fairs. There are now in contem plation
four fairs, and two more organizations
making arrangements for fairs. Now, the
merchant don't object giving 10 these fairs
some donation, but let them appoint con-
mtttee to go to the merchants and ma ke
their appeal, and let it end there.
But as it is now, it will bInkrupt mer-
chant to give to every Individual person
connected with these fairs. Now, if they
would only stop to think that there are
hundreds of ladies soliciting for each fair.
and how impossible it would be TO give 10
each SOLICITOR While there are some rea-
sonably inclined persons, there are ever so
many that are not.
II you give them an article worth few
dollars they accept it sneerinEiy and say.
II have been dealing with you all this
while; Is that all you are going to give
mc?" If you refuse them courteously and
kindly they will fling into your teeth that
they have dealt with you all along, and
now they will cease their deal ing.
Now, that isn't the right Kind of talk:
that is bulldozing-some would call it
commercial blackmail. The merchants are
severely taxed as ii is. There are not many
merchants in this city compared to the
larger cities, and yet they are taxed more
and Oftener in proportion.
This soliciting business, the way 1t is
done, must be stopped some time, and it
devolves upon the newspapers to make it
clear that Il merchant cannot give TO every
appeal aud yet pay their honest obligations.

WAGNER LOOKS A WINNER
He is a Decided Favorite in the
Great Championship Shoot.
He Is Working tn.SpIcndid Form and
Is Backed From 20 TO / to =
to l by the Talent.

When the shooting was resumed for the
championship handicap trophy this morning
in the big tournament at Baltimore Mfr.
William Wagner, Of this city, was the fav-
Orite.
Capt. Brewer, of Prooklyn, was favoritc
yesterday among the fifty-one contestants,
the odds against him being 10 to 1, the
next man being Hayward. a Western man,
who sold at . To ], while Mr.. Wagner
sold at 20 to /, with a score of others.
When the shooting closed last evening
twelve men had killed eleven birds straight
all they got chance 10 shoot at. These
were Epson, Porterfield, Burkhardt, Will
ley, % yards each: Coe, Gilbert and VIII
lat, % yards each; Wagner, Cooper and
SchmicS, 2S yards each; Clark, 30 yards,
and Brewer and Hayward, 33 yards.
After the work OF the day was concluded
the betting cha apged rapidly. Brewer was
backed down from 10 to 4, while Mr..
Wagner, who shot in splendid form all
through the day, was made a decided
favoritc, going from his original figures
OF 20 TO ! to . to l at one jump.
There is 81 ,295 cash I'm the championship
pot. and the winner will get out Of this
S51S and the cup, which the Dupont pco-
pie Will redeem for 500 in cash, though

STUMBLED AND FELL DEAD.
william Ragan, a Well-known South
washingtOnian Expired Suddenly.

William Ragan, an aged resident OF No.
1907 e Estreetsouthwest, known and respect
ed by every one on the water front, ex-
pired at $50 O'Clock this morning on
Water street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets southwest.
He was at the Eleventh street wharf
after load of oysters, and in his haste TO
repair broken trace was alternately run
ming and rapidly walking, when he Stun
bled and fell dead on the paving stones.
Fishermen from the wharves and dealers
and their clerks quickly formed a sympa-
thetic group. By one blanket was drawn
across the body, another propped up the
head, and Just then hand thrust across
from the outside let fall a white band,
which fourth person used in tying up the
chin. These details were executed with
the precision of a trained corps and with
out the least evidence of nervousness.
Some one, believed to be physician, eX-
amined the body and pronounced life ex-
tinct but no one present could say who it
was after he passed on.
Harbormaster Sutton was at the fish
wharf, and directed the temporary plac-
ing of the body in the sail-naking house of
John E. Kenyon, on the corner OF Twelfth
street, when he sent for the coroner. Mrs.
Rapan, the wife, and Mr.. william Ragan,
the only other member of the family, were

ANOTHER 2O-MILE spin
This One is to Take Place on
Thanksgiving Day.
Unusually Attractive Prizes VIII Re
Offered and Many Prominent Rid
ers From Abroad VIII he In II.

Though the last event of the kind was q
very unsatisfactory one and many eI-
pressed the opinion that that sort OF sport
was done for in these parts, another road
race is on the card. This one has been set
giving Dag.
Mr.. W. $. Macarthur is the chief promoter
OF the affair Mr. McArthur SAID yester
day that he was aware that there had been
good deal of unkind feeling against road
racing worked up over the race Of last Mon
day, and that some people had set them
selves against events of its kind, but that
the race of Thanksgiving Day, he hoped,
would eliminate prejudice.
The coming event, Mr.. Macarthur said,
would be one conducted strictly on merit,
and would no doubt be the best of its kind
ever held around Washington. The prizes
to be- offered for it Will be far superior to
any ever given for bicycle race. Already
he has had assurances from a number of
the leading manufacturers of wheels that
they VIII Join heartily in the affair and
that their donations TO help it along Will
be liberal ones.
Up TO tins time he has two bicycles and
other valuable articles, and hopes to get
cash subscriptions enough 10 purchase
several more attractive prizes. In the
WAY of premiums, Mr.. MCA rthur says. tue
event VIII far overshadow any OF the pre-
vious events, and on these he hopes To be
able To bring number of the very best road
riders in the East md West into competi-
tion for them.
The printing for the race, entry blanks,
etc. Will be out to-day. and will be sent
at once. A list OF prominent riders in
New York. Philadelphia. Ba 1t imore,
Richmond Norfolk. and other cities has
been made out, and all of them viii be
invited 10 take part in it. The announce
ment of the race at this early date is made
so that any contemplated movement on the
part of Others may avoid Il conflict.

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

The foreign books being played at the
Elkton, Nd, races, which were closed
up on Wednesday by State Attorney a. L.
Crowthers as being against the law, were
again in operation yesterday and did n
thriving business. The crowd yesterday v
was the largest of any previous day. Twen-
tyrone carloads of sports attended from
Philadelphia alone, while Baltimore sent
many hundreds.
Lucky Baldwin, TO prove that the harges
made against him by bytheWestchester Racing
Association are false, has offered to allow
the steward OF the Jockey Club to take
charge of the training of his horses. The
stewards, however, refused to even coDsid-
er the proposition. Lucky is in hard luck.
The easy way in which Henry of Ma
varre won the nile and three -quartcrs race
at Morris Park yesterday with 1870 pounds
up. has impressed Mr.. Belmont with The con-
fidence that he is quite good enough to cope
with the best of English horses, and there
is now little doubt that he will be sent
abroad.
The evening times., 1895-10-25

Messrs. Woerner, Graves, Fisk, Hodges
and wisner, the committee appointed by
tue Dupont Cycle Club to investigate the
charges made against Fred Sims for foul
riding in the twenty-mile road race over
the Conduit course last Monday, met last
night, and put Il number of the riders who
took part In that event on the rack.
The Developments were of not only an
interesting nature but they were highly
amusing, and confirmed to the letter the
predictions that have been Diadc by the
Times, that there were few Interested in
the prizes who made protests against
Others who were not likely TO get scOrcned.
Mudd, who raised the controversy by
protesting Sims on the ground that he had
been paced, was called up and asked TO
explain whether or not the counter charge
made by Sims that he had accepted pace
from young Gather was true.
SAID IT WAS TRUE.
Mudd is said 10 have virtually admitted
thatit was true, and his chances for getting
the time prize, or any other prize, are now
exceedingly slim.
1t was good rs admitted by several
of the men who are said 10 have done
the pacing for him that that charge was
true, and Sims is also out OF reach of any
part of the cmolumen,s OF the race. He
evidently regarded his chances OF vindicatio
as being worth little, for he did not go to
the trouble of being present at the meeting.
The most interesting feature OF the
nights work was a charge lodged ag;linst
Graves, who finished first in the race, that
he, too, was guilty of having been paced.
This was Il thing wholly unlocked for.
The substance of this charge is that a
team Of Eastern Cycle Club men, or what
Is known as the maroon tandem" picked
Graves up about three miles from the turn
and carried him along At a merry clip until
the turn was almost reached, where
they dropped behind.
DID 1T HELP GRAVES?
The Maroon tandem is said TO have
been on the route of the race all right,
but whether the men on ii helped Graves
any was not made entirely clear. and the
matter is to be looked into further.
As the matter now stands IL is said that
neither Sims, Mudd, Leatherburry nor
any OF the rest OF the men who have laid
claim to the time prize stand the ghost Of
u show for getting IL, but that 1t will
likely go Ia Thompson, against whom moth.
ing unfair is charged.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow
evening to further look into the doings
In the race, when sworn affidayits as TO
the truth or falsity of the numerous charges
made viii be required from each witness.
Ii is said on good authority to-day that
the race is liable to prove disastrous to
all who are proven of wrong doing in it,
as it viii be the earnest effort OF the
committee 10 have all such men barred
from a II racing events in these parts in the
future.
