JIMMY LOQERlDGE KILLED.

He Was Run Over on the Ohio River Road
and His Head Severed from tho Body.
An Awful Death.
Yesterday morning Jimmie Low
erldge, a we'll known young man OF the
Eighth ward, met an awful death. he
was aeen walking up the Ohio River
railroad track Just before the early
passenger train went out, He was
cheerful and in apparently good cOndl-
ton. The next heard from him his
dead body, with the hOad completely
severed from the trunk. was found
lying beneath the trostle not far below
Fortieth street,
Just how the accident came about no.
body could explain. twas evident, how
ever, that he had walked out upon the
trestie and been struck by the train.
The train men did not see MIN In time
to avert tho fatality. Loveridge was
knocked down and run over, the wheels
cutting his neck through. The head
fell on one side Of the rail and the body
on tho other.
County Coroner Schultze waa notified
OF the accident and made an inquiry.
1t was shown that nobody could be
blamed for the mishap unless it should
DO LoverIdge himself, and n verdict was
rendered OF death By unavoidable acci'
dent.
Tho engineer was James Lancaster.
He informed the coroner that he saw
Lnverldge on the track and whistled.
The man disappeared below the surface
OF the %trestlo, but reappeared just as
the cowcatcher struck him. II was also
said that he had been warned off the
track several times, and almost Iorcibly
removed once, but walked back.
Tho unfortunate man was aged TWEEN
ty.two yoara, and was a resident OF the
old row OF houses below thirty-sixth
street, known for years as Irish row."
Ho was unmarried and lived with his
mother, and was a laboring man.
The trestlo where he met his death Is
a dangerous place, but men and BOYS
use 1t as Il thoroushiare every day. 1t
wac suggested yesterday that Loveridee
forgot the recent change Of time on the
Ohio River road, aud thought no train
was duo for n considerable time, The
only wonder is hat there are not more
frequent Academic OF this kind,

ing Right OF Way.
In an interview last week, Ex-senator
johnson N. Camden, OF ParEersburs,
who is at the head OF tho Ohio
River, Monongchela River and West
Virginia & Pittsburgh railroads. stated
that tho work Of building u railroad TO
connect all those lines, and TO run from
q point on the West Virginia & Pitts
burgh to tho Ohio River. would be COM
mencod this summer. The surveys have
not been completed, says the Railroad
Gazette, and the line 10 not definitely
decided upon, there being two routes
under consideration. But both lines
have been surveyed, and the selection Of
route will depend entirely upon the
cost OF construction. which will have
been decided within IL few days. Tho
routea under consideration are along
the West Fork river and Bingammon
creek, the former being known rs tho
Tcu-iiiio route, and hGving been sur.
yeyed geyeral times. 1t is the general
impression that the Bingammon route
will provo the cheapest and will be dc.
cidsd upon. The road will probably be-
gin on tho Harrison county side Of Bin
CANNON creek, and follow that side to
Wyatt, and from Wyatt along n newly
surveyed route TO the Ohio River.
The road ia to be built for tho purpose
OF furnishing III outlet to tho Fairmont
and Harrison county coal iioldS to tho

An Event Of Unusual Interest IN Local
Catholic Clroios Next Month.
A writor in tho Church Calendar, the
organ Of this Catholic diocese, has the
following interesting story:
For the first titne in the history Of
tho diocese OF Wheeling, on August 81
OF tho present year, a Catholic event OF
more than ordiaa ry interest will take
place. On that day four prieats, or.
dalncd by the late Bishop Whelan
founder oil tho diocese, will celebrate
their eilvsr jubilee. All -four OF them
we're at ono and the came time mission
aries in the territory through which the
Chesapeake 4 Ohio passes.
Rev. Father Daily ~ now located at
WeIlsburg; Rev. Father Quirk ut sand
Fork. in Lewis county; Rev. Father
William Walsh at st. Clara, Doddridse
county, and Rev. David Walsh ut Hin
ton.
With these, on the same day was ~
dained u student. then advanced in
years, Rev. W. silvan, who, in 1885, left
Tor France, his native country, aud
died there.
With these iive ordained in the

.QuIT ON ACCOUNT OF BAD BUSINESS
Several Reports lot Entirely Correct

Works Shut Down Saturday for an
Indeauits Length OF Timo-A Mat
tor Of General Regret in tho Conn
munity.


The board Of directors OF the West
Virginia Glass Wofks, Of Martins
Ferry, met on Saturday morning. or
derod the fires oxtingulahed at once and
accepted the designations Of the man
agers, aaleamsn and other salaried en-
ployes. except S. G. Robinson, one OF
the stockholders, who was made Hecre-
tary and placed in charge Of everything
until tine regular annual meeting OF the
stockholders, to DO held on July II. The
bars in the furnace were pnlled at noon
or Saturday, and the salaries ended
then.
This move wal a surprise to many
peraons. aud 1t Is hoped that the works
will DO put in operation soon after the
reorganization takes place. What will
be done, however. will not be known
until that time.
Mr.. II. d. WaddsH, Of thia city, was
, the general superintendent and man
ager. He ia one OF the most experienced
and Eucctssful glass mon OF tho Ohio
Valley, aud when he was appoiased II
was generally commented that the
WeatV Virginia company had secured a
treasure, The reportot the shut down
Saturday as il was first circulated was
that ali the salaried man had been dis
charged. This was wrong. An INTEL
HdRNcE9 man called at Mr.. Waddells
house on the Ialand last evening, and
was informed thai the other men had
rendered their designations TO Mr.. Wad-
doll, who in tnrn handed in his own to
the board OF directors.
Just what action led to this atep on
their part 10 not known, bnt the busi-
ness had been anything but satisfactory,

directly or indirectly affected by the
shut down.
Whenthe works were placed underline

given q thorough overhauling at heavy
expense, and is now in better ahbpe, as
far as conveniences are concerned, than
eYer before. The two years have been
unsuccessful, much money being lost,
and the owners have been displea'ed.
The high salaries paid have been more
than the business done justified.
The demoralized condition OF the
glass trade and business generally has
been against the works the past two
years, and for some time past the stock.
holders have felt that it would be neces'

The establishment had been working
mainly on orders and for this reason
had not made more than halt time.
This year the works has been oil about
two-thirds OF the time,

Sorosis' Vacation.

SorOsis, the high panjandrum of wo- mems clubs, had its last social day of the season on June 3. when the drama was discussed and comparisons drawn between Shakespeare and present day playwrights, and then Sorosis broke up for the summer. saying au revoir to each other and goodby to Mir. Sherry, who is not to be the clubs caterer next year, the bathrooms at the Waldorf being bet ter adapted to the needs of SoroSis when she entertainS.
 While Sorosis is deservedly the most powerful of all the women's clubs, it is not numerically strong, having a roll call of only 2l5. Neither is it made up of unmarketable or elderly maidens, for 1SO are married, and it has several times happened that a candidate has had to hold back until she reached the club age, which is set down as IS years. Some members complain that they know little of the working of the organiza
