THE TUNNELTON ACCIDENT.

On our first page we give a fill
account of the railroad accident at
TunDeltoD last Thursday night,
between eleven and twelve o'clock 9
The article is from the Wheeling
intctiigeHcer correspondent who was
there and got the details next day
after the accident. The party from
kingwood composed of Hon. A. ID.
Garden, of Wheeling, United
States Marshal, Hon. VIM. A..
Ohley. Of Charleston. tx Secretary
OF State, and MISS Lulu Downtain.
OF same place, Assistant Librarian,
had been visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Neil j. FOrtney of this place, and
left that evening for Washington
City. accompanied by Mrs. Fortney.
They were just entering the sleeper
when the accident took place and
were caught in the little vestibule
OF the front end. This ac-
counts for their being hurt worse
than anyone else. The party had
made up their mind to drive to
Terra Alta and catch No. there,
but changed their mind when start
ing. Otherwise they would have
escaped harm. The accident ere.
atcd considerable excitement here
and number of friends went up to
Tnnnelton next day and Mrs. Fort
ney was brought to her home here
on stretcher and has been i'm
proving rapidly, so that she will
soon recover from the shock and
bruises. The others could not be
moved and have been receiving the
best of care and attention at the
Tunnelton Hotel. All In all it
was lucky that no one was killed
and the accident might have been
much worse. The engine of No. 1
and the ladies' coach and sleeper of
No. were badly wrecked and the
loss to the railroad company very
heavy. Not only in repairing the
damages to their property but in
settling with the parties who were
hurt, as it is likely there will be
suits. unless satisfactory mpro-
misses are arranged.

CHILD FATALLY BURNED.

A sad accident took place down
on Green's Run, about two miles
from Kingwood this week by which
Gay, the three-y year. old son OF John
Uphold lost his life Monday. The
parents were away from the house
at work, and the child fell in
to the open fire place. Its clothes
caught fire and in moment il was
enveloped IN flames. The frighten-
ed child screamed and started to
run for its mother who was near
the house at work. This of course
only famed the fl mes into fiercer
heat and by the time the mother
got to the little fellow, he was so
badly burned that death came to
his relief the next morning. The
mothers hands were terribly burn.
ed trying to save the child. A
physician was summoned but moth
ing much could be done for the
boy AS he was burned all over his
body. The funeral services took
place yesterday at the house and
were conducted by Rev. Hackett.

your fingers pulling it out and
perhaps breaking it off in the hold

gets corroded and fast, so that the
holder. as well as the pen, has to be
thrown away. The device is very
simple and consists of small
spring under the middle of the
metal, so that when you want to
remove the pen, you press on the
upper end of it with your finger
and this loosens the pen, so that it
drops out and another can be in.

AZ UNSUPPORTED DENIAL

About one mouth ago TIM Ar
GUS published from the New York
World a striking comparison be-
tween the effects Of the Mckinley
law and the results Of the Wilson
tariff, each takcn one year after the
law was in effect. The article we
published gave the exact facts and
figures. and named and located the
big plants and works where the
employees were discharged and their
wages reduced under one years
workings Of the Mckinley tariff,
and then gave corresponding re.
suit ut the same places after one
years operation of the Wilson bill,
showing that thousands of men had
been given an increase of wages
ranging from Eve to forty per ceut.
The Journal OF this place growing
desperate over the situation, last
week published what it thought
would bear Offset for our broad
side, and to those parties who new
er do any thinking for themselves,
but swallow blindly everything pre-.
pared foT them by their leaders and
Keepers, like young birds in a nest,
such bare statements anu unsup-
ported assertions. might catch them
mapping. But for any careful read
er or thinker, the JOarNdpS feeble
effort, as republished from the New
I DIRK Press, the Chief Liar for the
the Protected Monopolies, is bur.
lesque and farce. The article
claims to have communicated with
certain manufacturing establish
men,s and received certain replies,
but not a single one is named or
located, so that anyone could inves.
tIgate for himself, whereas the
World article names and locates
everyone of the establishments for
Its authority, which the Press and
Journal dare not do. We leave it
to the most casual and prejuduced
reader as to which article is most
entitled to be believed.
