MAY Be FATALLY HURT.
A Marshall County Farmer Fell From
Wagon,
Was Run Over, and Then Badly
FrOzen-He was Discovered by
Accident and Taken to The En-
Urgency Hospital, in Benwood.

A very serious accident occurred up
Boggs run yesterday afternoon. Parties
coming down the run noticed the body of
a man lying on the road about two miles
up from its mouth. The matter was re-
ported to Dr. Alley, of the Emergency Hos
pital, at Benwood, and he went out. and
with the assistance Of others, picked the
man up and brought him to the hospital
He proved to be farmer named Abe
HUH, who lives in the vicinity Of Lime
stone or Sherrard Marshall county. He
was found lying on his back, just in the
rear Of a wagon load of coal. to which
was attached two horses. 1t was evident
that the man had been sitting on the
seat and had fallen under the wagon.
Both wheels of the heavily laden wagon
had passed over his body injuring him
badly. 1t is supposed that the accident
happened about four o'clock in the after
noon. HUFF was on his way home He
had come with his wagon to the coal mine
AT Boggs' run for a load OF coal While
in the lower end of the city ne filled him
self up with whisky ana took q bottle
along with him. When he started for
home he was i'm a bad state of intoXica-
ton. He was noticed leaving town in
this condition. and several predicted that
me would fan from his seat before reach
ing his destination. 1t turned out that
way
In addition to being badly injured from
the effect of both wheels passing over
him, Huf's body was badly frozen when
found. as ne had been lying ON the road
for over an hour. He was unconscious
when found. and after reaching the hos
pital with him. the doctors made an eX-
animation. Ii was found that the wheels
of the wagon had passed over his chest
and abdomen, crushing the body and in
nicting very serious if not fatal internal
injuries. IL cannot be determined just yet
what the real extent OF the mans injuries
are. A message late last night stated
that he was stiIl unconscious. HUH is a
man about thirty-hve years of age, is
married and has a family.

First Christian Church.

Last night the Christian Endeavor soci-
cites of Wheeling held local union meet
ing at the Christian Church, on South
Market street. The church was filed
with the Endeavorers and their friends
The seven societies of the city We're rep
resented. The audience was treated to a
most interesting programme. Rev. d. A.
Cunningham, D. D.. delivered a forcible
and helpful talk on THE relations and
some of the duties of the Christian En-
deavor Society to the Church" He i'm
pressed upon Endeavorers the necessity
Of attending mid-week services and Sab
bath schools. 1t was the pledge Of every
Endeavorer to attend both Of these SER
vices. They should unite at Sabbath
school with some Bible class. They should
attract some person TO the society and the
church. The lookout committees need to
be awakened. DR.. Cunningham closed his
talk with an appeal to Endeavorers to
consecrate themselves more fully TO Chris
tian work.
Rev. Joseph Speors. pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church. was on the pro-
gramme for an address, but he was not
able to be present
Rev. W. II. Hayden, pastor of the Chris
tian Church. made an eloquent talk on
The Christian Endeavor Society, Its
Field and Mission" Quoting the words
of Gov. Mckinley when he welcomed the
Endcavorers to the National Endeavor
Convention at Cleveland. he said he loved
the Christian Endeavor Society because
it stood for Christian character, Christian
work and Christian activity" Rev. Hay
den added to these words that ne loved the
society because il stood for Christian
union. He made n fervent appeal for
union in the churches and said that every
principle of the Christian Endeavor So
cety was i'm line with this idea.
After the meeting in the auditorium Of
the church. the young people adjourned
10 the lecture room on the first floor
where they enjoyed a social meeting for
an hour or so.

FIELD FLOWERS"

"A little volume entitled "Fldld FNy,
ers" has just been issued by the Eugene
Field Monument Association, the object
being to raise funds by its sale for the
double purpose OF erecting a suitable
monument to the dead poet and of pro-
v!d!ns competency for his fame. Mr..
Field. like the majority OF men Of his
type, was the reverse of thrifty. and his
possessions were not of that class from
which money can be realized. The book
contains many gems from Mr. Field S
pen. and drawings from thlrty-five OF
the worlds greatest artists. AS the
Chicago News very properly says:
The edition of "Nleld Flowers" should
be quickly exhausted, even upon the
merits OF the work, but there must be
thousands of people who will welcome
the opportunity TO contribute small
amount In affectionate remeberance OF
the children's laureate" The public
have had Mr.. Fields writings almost
without money and without price His
work has bcsn mainly for the news pa
pers and has not been protected by
copyright. HIS marvellous fund OF hu-
NOR and pathos, in poetry and prose
has therefore been practically free Ia
the public. In the circumstances there
should be ready and generous response
TO the efforts of the friends Of the be-
loved poet"

Mr.. Field, said that some day. out In

MIR. BnYAN's SPEECH OF ACCEPT.
ANCE.

No one-that is no unprejudIced per.
| son-can read the speech of Mr.. Bryan
| at Madison Square Garden, New York
Wednesday evening. on the occasion OF
| the official notification of his nomina
ton for the office OF President ofFths
United States. without being impressed
| With the recognition of the fact, that a
man of great and splendid ability occu-
pies the position of LEADER OF the
National Democratic party of the United
States.
They canno. but be impre ssed with the
conclusion that he is u leader. so thor
oushly. honestly. and sincerely i'm
pressed with his cause and the justice
of it, that with courage that COM
mands admiration of friend and foe,
he storms the stronghold of the enemy
and arouses the interest of the
country from one end to the
other in such manner that
the struggle. which but few weeks
ago seemed forlorn one. now assumes
the proportions OF the most remarkable
and irresistible uprising of the people
In support of the cause and the princi-
pies as chanpioned by the Democratic
nominee for the presidency, with THE
PROMISE of 4 great victory.
The speech of Mr.. Bryan on the occa-
sion of his acceptance of the nomina-
ton was unquestionably an able one.
In reading It attention is unclaimed
from beginning to end, and 1t is not to
be wondered. that the great audience
that listened to the eloquent plea and
splendid argument of the orator for
the restoration OF silver to Its old posi-
ton, gave vent to enthusia site approval
The speech was a masterpiece of elo-
quence-it was full of Irresistible con-
clusions as to the correctness of the
position of the Democracy in the plat
form adopted at Chicago. There was
not one single word of apology for that
document. All in ALL 1t was a challenge
brave, manly, and unfinching, delivered
in the very citadel of the forces of the
enemy, to battle royal before the peo-
pie of the country, from now until No
vember. when the contest shall be decid-
ed by the voters.
