TO DEATH.
Fifteen Persons Drowned at
Cleveland, Ohio. T
we're IN A TROLLEY CAR.
Details of the Accident as Told by
the Motorman-Some Agon-
izIng Scenes-Where the
Accident Occurred.

A trolley car, loaded with men, women and
children, plunged through an open draw
straight down a hundred feet at the Central
yiaduct into the Cuyahoga river at Cleve-
land. Ohio, and fifteen persons were drowned.
This is how the accident occurred as re-
lated by Bridge Captain Charles Bremen,
who was an eyewitness to the accident:
"About 73O o'clock p. M, when boat COM
ing up the river whistledEfor the drawbridge,
gave the signals to Engineer Patterson and
the gate guards. / shut both gates at the
north approach myself, ran up the red light
on the pole and hung the red lanterns on the
gates. Then 1 gave the engineer the signal
to draw the wedge and also gave the signal OF
one bell. which was the order to swing the
bridge. The bridge had swung clear around
and the boat had approached almost under
IL when was dumfounded to see large
combination street car with at least twenty
passengers inside, slowly but surely ap-
preaching and only about forty feet away.
cried out with all my might, Stop, stop
for God sake stop that carl. The motorman
was endeavoring to stop the car, but itseem-
ed that his efforts were of no use, for the
car came steadily and crashed into the iron
gates. which gave way, and in second the
car had gone over the precipice. Just as the
car struck the gate the frightened motorman
Jumped and fell on the bridge. No blame
can be attached to those in charge Of the
bridge. The accident is entirely the fault OF
the crew of the motor car. On the rear plat
form of the car before it made the terrible
plunge were c.. A. Ferguson, of Parma, Ohio;
John Seriger, Hank Peters, Of Dover; &. u
Ross and Y. Radke and Jake Heller. All
| Jumped and were saved"
The Central Viaduct, where the accident
occurred is hugh silt bridge, 5000 feetiong
made of iron. 1t connects the heights and
the prosperous residence section on the South
| Side with the business centre of the city,
| Directly over the river is drawbridge of the
| Understanding pattern, and this is 1O1 feet
above the surface of the water. The South
Side Street Railroad passes over the bridge,
and on either side of the draw there is
safety switch, which, unless the conductor
alights and holds up handle, will send car
into the gutter instead of allowingit to go on
| the draw.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-R. G.. Dun d CO.'S
weekly review of trade says:
"The scare about gold exports had no real
significance, and although $2,5OOO QUO more
will 90 out. the stock market has been re-
covering There was and is a substantial
cause of difficulty In the fact that exports Oh
products have been too small to meet the
greatly increased imports of merchandise.

VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA,
The --latest News Cleaned From Various Parts of
the State.


The members Of the board OF visitors Of
the University of Virginia called upon Gov
ernor O'Ferrall for the purpose of invoking
the latter's aid in impressing upon the legis-
lators the importance of making liberal
appropriation for rebuilding the structures
at the University destroyed by the recent
fire. Ex-senator Marshall Mccormick, of
Clark, was the spokesman forl his associates.
He presented to the Governor the importance
of promptly restoring this institution to the
condition 1t was in before the fateful fire.
The purpose of the board is to build as soon
as possible and while retaining in the ro
tunda all of its original features to improve
and enlarge the university so as to make it
the leading institution of learning Of the
South. The Governor is fully in sympathy
with the objects of the board and other
friends of the university, and in his forth
coming message to the Legislature will call
attention to the loss sustained by the univer-
sity and suggest that such measures be taken
for the prompt restoration of the destroyed
building as that body may deem wise and
proper.
Luke Price, a brick mason, fell from scat
fold from the third story of the Odd-Fellows'
new building in Stanton, sustaining injuries
which resulted in death an hour later. A
plank on which he was standing slipped and
he fell to the pavement distance of forty
five feet. striking on his head and shoulder.
He leaves wife and five children dependent
on him.
The iury in the case Of Samuel D Dai-
house. charged with the murder of Samuel
Doom, of Staunton, returned verdict OF
not guilty. In an encounter with Doom at
Doom's Station. on the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, last August, stabbed the deceased
with a pocket-knife, the blade entering one
quarter of an inch into the heart. Dollhouse
left tho scene ignorant that Doom was fatas-
ly hurt, and, as he himself had been choked
and had rib broken by a rock thrown by
the deceased, went to Waynesboro' to have
his wounds dressed by physician. Doom
was negro over six feet tall, weighing Ia
pounds. and the accused is five feet nine in
ches tall and weighs 14O pounds.
Three attempts were made by the prisoner
in the Norfolk county jail to break out OF the
building by cutting through the walls. The
prison is overcrowded with offenders, and
some of them the most desperate in this sec
don in for all shades Of crime. The prison
IL new one just completed year ago, but
all the steel and iron cells ordered are moi
vet in position. A few weeks ago five pris
oners. not in cells, made their escape by cut
ting through brick wall with iron spoons

Pra ctical Logic.

To reason from cause to effect is very good
logic in its way, but to practice on physical
conditions in seeking the cause first, is very
slow process indeed. All ailments seem TO
give an expression in pain. and especially in
rheumatism where it takes hold deeply This
is an effect, whatever the cause may be, and
pain would become intolerable if one waited
to find out the cause. Hence sufferers are
bent on curing the pain promptly, and for
this reason know, or soon find out that st.
Jacobs Oil is surely the best remedy. Peo-
pie seldom have reason to hunt further, for
once this ailment is cured by it, it stays
cured, and thus puts an end to argument
and pain at once.
