HORRIBLY SCALDED.
A Terrible Accident on the B. & O..
Yesterday Morning.
Engineer John Cunningham, Of
McMechen, Caught Under His
Engine, at Roseby's Rock by
Broken Steam Valve - A
Fatal Result May Follow.

A serious accident took place on the
B. & o. main line, at Rosby's Rock,
about half-past one o'clock yesterday
morning, which resulted in the very
serious and perhaps fatal scalding OF
John Cunningham, one Of the best en-
gineers on this end of the road.
Mr.. Cunningham was running engine
No. 1904, east bound, and when his train
arrived at Rosby's Rock, Mr.. Cunning
ham crawled under his engine to fix
something about the blow-off pipe,
which had gone wrong. While he was
pounding on the pipe a valve on
steam pipe broke, and the live steam
struck the unfortunate man in large
volumes, scalding him horribly from
head to foot. The fireman dragged the
engineer from under the engine at con-
siderable risk to himself, and the in
jured man was brought to Benwood
about 3 a. m, where DR.. Dowler at
tended him. Later Cunningham was
removed to his home at McMechen.
Yesterday afternoon the wounded
mans condition was reported to be
serious. although immediate danger OF
a fatal result was not apprehended.

then and has been dutiable since August
% last. The imports for the eleven
months in the fiscal year just closed
were less by 1912 per cent. than those
Of the eleven months of 1898 under the
Mckinley duties, although the free i'm
ports in 1898 We're swollen by S105,OOO,-
coo worth of raw sugar, while the duti-
able imports of 1895 included about $40
100000 for raw sugar transferred to the
dutiable list.
The following table prepared by the
New York Times viii enable the calam-
ity howlers to compare the imports
under the leading schedules during the
eleven months ending on May 81 Of this
year with those Of the corresponding
months in the fiscal years 1894 and 1898.
They always stop with 1894, because the
figures of 1898 "a year during which the
Mckinley tariff was in full force make
their partisan pleas and arguments
ridiculous. For convenience in tabula-
ton the three last figures Of each num-
Der are cut on, making the thousand
the unit.

The Register has occasionally called
attention to its superiority as a news
gatherer. particularly as to its ability
to handle late news which its contem-
poraries in Wheeling. and often those
in Pittsburg. cannot touch on the sans
date. We have called attention to this
fact only when the exclusive publica-
ton in the Register Of some especially
important piece Of news coming at the
latter end Of the night made it special
ly prominent. though it is a matter Of
every day occurrence. The Registers
superior and latest improved equipment
and the superior training and ability
of its force in all departments enable il
to do this. Its larger and better special
news service and its method of hand
ling Geographic news enables it to pub
lish from two TO three times as much
news Of this character as any of it's
local contemporaries, and as much in
condensed form as any Of its larger
and more preteutous outside contem-
poraries that reach Wheeling
In proof Of this statement we present
the general result Of a detailed com
parison recently made between average
issues of the Register and the Intelli-
gencer. its chief local contemporary, as
follows: The Register in said issue
devoted 300 inches of space to tele-
graphic news. The Iuteligencer Of the
same date devoted 151 inches to the
same sort of news. The Register print
ed SO separate kilograms, 13 Of which
We're special dispatches. The Intelli-
gencer printed SO separate kilograms,
of which II were specials. This count
credits all the Geographic briefs on
page one of the Intelligencer as separate
kilograms. although several of them
were worth heading and much more
space.
This showing indicating that the Reg
lister published about three times as
much news as the Intelligencer, is by no
means an exceptional one. 1t is an
every day occurrence. We are not
Dragging. We are presenting plain
facts, which any Of our readers or ad-
verusers may verify by making COM
parison between the Register and It's
contemporaries, local or outside, any
day in the week.

ANOTHER CALAMITY DECEPTION.

The calamity howlers. driven from ev-
cry other subterfuge. have persistently
held on to the imports deception in their
efforts to mislead their readers on the
subject Of the tariff and keep their
heads above water on that issue. They
continue to groan daily over the in
crease of imports. which. TO quote Ca
lamity Jane Of Fourteenth street, repre-
sent so much bread taken by the pauper
labor Of Europe out Of the mouths Of
American labor. Now let us examine
this pitiful plant in the light Of facts.
In the first place the calamity howl
ers refuse to compare the recent figures
with those Of the corresponding period
6n 1898. but persist in the assertion that
the country is going TO ruin because we
are importing more goods now than
were imported in the depth of the panic
The New York Times presents some
interesting and conclusive figures on
this point. Undoubtedly it is true that
the imports during the months which
have elapsed siuce'the enactment Of the
new tariff have been larger than the
imports during the corresponding
months of last year. It is encouraging
that this increase has taken place It
was inevitable that recovery from panic
depression should be accompanied by an
increase Of imports. and this increase
would have taken place even under
rates like those Of the Mckinley act
But the high tariff frauds carefully ig-
more the fact that the imports of duJi-
able goods We're considerably larger in
the fiscal year 1898 when the Mckinley
duties were in force. than they have
been in the fiscal year just ended, al
though raw sugar was free Of duty

\ LIVELY CHASE
After a Two Horse Rig by a Local
Livery Firm,
The Team was Hired Here Sunday
Morning by Man Who Said He
was the Sheriff Of Monongahela
County - The Outfit Found at
Claysville, Pa.

Late last night Mr.. George c. Ray, of
the livery firm of Ray & Waddle, re-
turned from Claysville, Pa, with a two
horse team and buggy, hired from him
Sunday morning by a stranger, and
which the firm had about given up as
lost.
AT o'clock Sunday morning a stran-
ger called at the firms stable and stated
he was the Sheriff of Monongahela
county, that he had just come in from
MOrgantown, and that he wanted team
to drive TO Sand Hill, Marshall county,
TO get a party who was wanted. After
Il short talk he was given the best team
and rig in the stable, and making some
inquiries about the way and saying he
would probably be back the same even
ing, but might be detained until Mon
day morning, the party drove of. He
did not return either Sunday night or
Monday, and yesterday member OF the
firm called at the Sheriff's Office, at the
Court House, to procure the services Of
a deputy to look up the team, which
was valued at about $500. Deputy
Sheriff Mccullough made some inquiries
along the pike, and found that the rig
had gone east, the stranger, in reply to
a query from Toll Keeper VIII McCor-
mack as to how far he was going, say
ing that he did not know, as he was
out inspecting the telephone line. He
examined the line near the toll house
with a critical eye and then drove on.
Telephone messages were sent to West
Alexander, and it was learned the
stranger had passed through there
Sunday evening The Pittsburg police
were then informed, and message was
sent to Little Washington, which
brought the reply that the team had
not been seen there. Claysville was
then called up by telephone, and 1t
was ascertained the team had been
there since Sunday night, having been
driven in by a man who said he was 4
Deputy Sheriff from Wheeling. There
was a colored woman in the buggy with
him, and the couple left together, after
saying the team was 10 be kept until
they returned.
The stranger is described as large
man. weighing about two hundred
pounds. we'll dressed, and of good pres
ence and engaging manners. Who he
is. or where he went from Claysville,
could not be ascertained.

Both the quantity and the value OF
the imports Of wool have been some
what larger during the past year than
they were in 1893. The increase was
chiefly under Glass 1 Clothing woOls).
As woods of this class( and Of the other
classes) are now admitted free of duty,
our manufacturers have been buying
them and are able to use the best for
eign woods freely in association with do
nestle feeces for the production OF fine
goods.
This increase Of wool imports has not
"paralyzed" any American industry.
On the contrary. wages in forty wooden
mills have recently been increased, and
an increase involving the entire indus
try in and near Rhode Island is soon
to be made. Many mills are working TO
their extreme capacity, and others
which were idle are now active The
value of the imports Of woolens has
been less by Z per cent. for the eleven
months than it was in the correspond
ing months OF 1898. the Mckinley tarir
then being in force, and the price Of
domestic wool has been increased by
two cents a pound in the last three
weeks.

During nine OF the eleven months OF
the fiscal year 1895 the new tariff was in
force; during the entire period Of eleven
months in the fiscal year 1898 the tariff
law in operation was that of McKin-
ley. With respect to every one of the
items quoted above, the value Of the
imports has been less in 1895 than it
was in 1893. The attention of the Nc
Kinley organs has been repeatedly
called 10 the existence Of this difference,
but In vain.
A similar comparison with respect to
wool yields a somewhat different re-
suit. but one that is also encouraging,
considered in connection with other
facts:
