an action to recover it back is maintain

fifteen feet in diameter, drove three

In the third plaza smaller design

man Dorr. He is happy feeling that
he has, in a measure, wound things up
for the nomination of Gaines for Dis

Congressman Dayton has gone home
in disgust and anger.
Senator Elkins probably would rather
have had Davis appointed than White,
but he felt he could not afford to an
tagonize the President and so gave the
Parkersburg man his Endorsement. But
in doing this he offended Congressman
Dayton. so that the net result to the
Senator from the distribution of the
three big federal places is a quarrel
with two of the Congressman, Dorr and
Dayton.

take effect. The men state that pros
poets look blue for a settlement, but
that they cannot afford to work for
less wages, considering the intense heat
which they are compelled to endure at
this time of the year, and also because
of the fact that steady work is not

to kick. however, on the decision OF
the majority, and circulated the report
Yesterday that another meeting of the
men would be held Monday to consider
the matter of accepting the reduction.
The leaders and some of those who
oficiated on the committee declared
last evening in positive terms that no
meeting had been called officially and
that none would be held. The major
itv of the men are still firm and insist
that they will stay out all summer be-
fore they will accept the reduction.

ITO Fatal Accidents on the b. & o. Yester-
day Morning.
A. Moundsville yesterday morning
obout 4 o'clock an unknown man was
knocked from freight train at the
LAFAYETTE street bridge and met with
. horrible death beneath the wheels OF
the moving cars. He together with TWO
comnanions were riding on top OF one
of the cars and did not notice the APP
proach to the bridge, which is 50 low as
only to admit persons to pass under
when living down. One of the timbers
struck him fair in the face and knock
ed him to the bumpers, which carried
him 70 the farther end Of the bridge
before he fell TO the ground Inc
wheels passed over him, severing his
body in two, and scattering fragments
of his body along the track. The train
was running at a rapid rate and the
trainmen did not know of the accident
until their arrival at Roseby's Rock,
when they were informed by his COM
panions. A telegram was sent back
and his remains discovered lying in the
ditch. His remains were gathered up
and taken to links undertaking estab-
lishment, where they were prepared for
burial. He was a man about 50 years
of age, with a heavy sandy mustache
and had the appearance of being a
tramp. He had joined his two compan-
ions at Benwood, and they knew moth
ing further of his history or where he
was from.
An unknown young man, aged about
twenty, was killed at Glen Easton by
falling from a freight train. The body
was badly mangled. and there was
nothing by which the victim could be
identified.

avoid the lifting Of the water. which is
