Berlin. March 2S-The attitude OF Ger
many In the development Of the Egyptian
question has been prominent In puhlis
attention the past week, and press utter
ances In Great Britain. Italy and Aus
tria have been closely watched. Ger
many's action in the matter is miseon-
strued in Great Britain and Austria. ac-
cording TO the newspapers. which deny
that her object in supporting Great Brit
aims proposition to use the Egyptian re-
serve fund for the Nile expedition was
in any way TO aid the latter country.
They declare that Germany's attitude
was solely determined out Of concern for
Italy. and adds that Austrian Statesman
apparently construed her aid as an i'm
portant precedent, as Italy's African re-
serves now constituted the causus foede-
ris, as defined In the terms Of the drel-
bund. Consequently. Germany Is held
to similarly aid Austria In her oriental
policy. This view. however. Is fatty
repudiated by the German government
and a German statesman. who Il thor
oughly qualified to express an opinion On
the subject, said:
"Germany's policy Is not changed In
the least. In spite OF recent events our
relations with England remain the same
Germany distrusts England and her am
bilious schemes, and Gsrmanys support
Of the proposal to send an expedition to

out on Middle ISLAND creek, about two miles
southeast of Middlebourne. is reported this
afternoon to be showing up for good
we'll. According TO the latest advice that
could be obtained from this well, they have
struck very strong flow of gas, together
with fair showing of oil. 1t is thought
that the weu is spraying about one bar

A report was current on the street here
this afternoon to the effect that there had
been a good we'll drilled in over on the
Ohio side near Wilson's run. The report
could not be confirmed.
The six and a quarter casing was put in
the Cook well up in Wetzel county, and the
well should. with good luck, reach the de
sired depth some time about the middle Of
the coming week.
There are a number Of wells in the Wick

About half past two o'clock this
morning. while Frank Nixon, watch-
man at the old HObbs-Brockunierelass
plant. was on his rounds about the iac-
tory and vicinity, he discovered tho
body Of a man lying on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad track, directly in
front Of the glass factory and between
it and the plant of the Wheeling Elec-
trical Company, at the head OF Thirty
sixth street.
Mr.. Nixon started to make an exam
nation of the remains, preparatory to
summoning assistance, when he was
Mortified in recognizing in the dead man
his son Frank, aged twenty-iour, hy-
ing at the corner Of ChapIme and
Thirty-third streets.
Mr.. Nixon at once gave the alarm at
the light plant, and from thence Officer
Shields was notified, who in turn in-
formed police headquarters, and tho
officer then acquainted Coroner
SchuItze with the fact OF the accident.
The unfortunate victim had evident
" been walking along the track and it
is supposed he was struck by the fast
passenger train from Pittsburg for Cin-
cinnati. which passes the point where
the body was found about two o'clock,
although this is a matter Of pure con-
iecture as no one saw the accident
An examination of the body indicated
that the unfortunate young man had
been sitting on the end OF a tie when
the train came along, and that the pilot
of the engine had struck him between
tbe shoulders, as a great hole was torn
in his hack. The shock threw him
around close TO the track and the
wheels ran over his right arm, manB-
