PROBABLE Fatal ACCIDENT
At MoundsvilIs-DrIver OF a Hay Wagon
sustalns Severe Spinal Injuries.

At OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF Hay Wagon
sustains severe Spinal Injuries.
A very disastrous and probable fatal
accident occurred at Moundsvllle yes
terday afternoon. George Karle. who
is employed on the farm OF Colonel
Charles Thompson, near Dilles Bottom,
Ohio opposite Moundsville. came to the
latter town with load OF baled hay.
His load was pretty high and in driving
onto the scales to have the hay weighed
he saw that there was a very small
margin left to get under the shed COW
ering the scales. He made the attempt,
however, and got his head through all
right, but his shoulders caught and he
was squeezed down onto the hay, which
being tightly padded did not give. His
spine was badly injured, and his lower
limbs were paralyzed. He was given
immediate attention. and DR.. G. w.
Bruce, OF Moundsvllle, and DR.. Boone,
Of Powhattan, were called to attend his
injuries. 1t Is thought that he will not
recover. He Is about forty years Of age
aud has a wife and family.

Last summer movement for Sat
urday half holiday for the employees OF
the numerous wholesale establishments
Of wheeling, freight depots and banks,
was advocated by many ofthe business
people, but nothing was accomplished.
This spring there is Q deep seated de-
sire on the part OF many bushes men
in the wholesale district to see Satur-
day half holiday provided for their eEl-
ployes as well as for themselves.
A well known business man, when
seen yesterday afternoon by an lntelli-
gencer reporter, preached the subject
and warmed to II enthusiastically. BE
says that in nearly every other city OF
Wheeling's class there Is q Saturday
half holiday, and that Wheeling, in not
pursuing that liberal policy, has been
behind the times. He suggested that
the chamber OF commerce take hold OF
the project and bring It to a successful
conclusion. II the chfJnber should ask
the various railroads doing business In
Wheeling to close their doors to freight
business on Saturdays after p. M, he
had no doubt whatever but that they
