hurting six workmen into the valley

William Newman, of Canton, o., was
frightfully mangled. He was found
lying in shallow water, still alive, but
can not recover.
Charles Geb, also of Canton, like
Newman, fell the entire distance of O.
Net, and was probably fatally in
jured.
James McMullen, of Twinsburg. sus-
tanned general bruises.
Charles Mccarthy, of Canton, was
severely bruised about the body.
James Freeman, of Cleveland, has
two ribs broken.
George Billiard, of Canton, fingers
broken and face bruised.
None except Newman and Geb fell
into the creek. The others succeeded
IN jumping from the collapsing mass
on to the hillside.
On the bridge at the time of the ac-
cident % men, employees of the Canton
Wrought Iron Bridge Co., were at work.
A wild scene ensued when the crash
came. The men dropped everything
and ran for their lives, their shouts of
alarm bringing most of the villagers to
the spot.
The cause of the accident is not
definitely known. The company
wished to run cars over the bridge to-
day, and it is thought the builders, in
their hurry, overlooked boiling the
supports properly.
The bridge was temporary affair.
On January of this year former
bridge entirely collapsed, carrying a
train of two cars with it. Two men
were killed at that time.

A report came In yesterday from the
big gasser Of the Wheeling Natural
Gas Company to the effect that show
Ing of oil was being made in addition
TO the huge output of gas. Later In
formation denied this report, which up
pears to have been without foundation.
1t has not yet been decided by the gas
company whether the pipe line that Is
to bring the gas to Wheeling win run
by way of Moundsvllle or direct across
the couatty via inns run to Benwood,
where connection will be made with
the mains of the company. Thursday
night representatives OF the company
appeared before the town council OF
Cameron and asked the right OF way
for the pipe line. Very unexpectedly
the council became unreasonable and
asked for damages" for the properly
owners on each side OF the street along
which the line was to pass, On aecoun.
OF this It Is probable the line w:!I
skirt Cameron Instead OF passing
through.
The gas company also appeared be-
fore the McMecihen council on Thurs
day evening and that body was willing
to have the pipe line pass through.
