rose, increasing to violent wind
as the day wore on. ~ The softened ice
began to pound against the jam from
above, and the loggers stood idly about
waiting for the break. On the Windfall
the men could scarcely stand against
the raging, shrieking wind. Late in the
day DR.. Mason came, asking for jim.
Behind him, Pierre struggled, breath
less and pale.
boy on river!'' he cried. "Come!
Hurry!" = IT, .$
Running to the bank, they saw Jim
clinging to rock far up the stream.
Evidently he had wandered along the
ice, ignorant Of danger. They beckoned
him wildly, but he was now panic
struck, and would not move. The shores
opposite him were rocky and steep, and
| spiked with drift wood. The men stood
at the only spot where he could reach
land. But none offered to go to him in
| the face of almost certain death.
AS they waited, there came sudden
pause, a moment when the wind rested,
and the Oswegatchie doomed less
threateningly against it's barriers. 1t
was the moment to rescue him, and
the men faced each other. Then they
| shrunk back with pale faces. Why
throw away their lives? :.
| A moment later the wind swept
with grim roar along the path which
it had moved through the forest 40
years before. The great Windfall was
like tunnel opening on the river,
where already the log jam creaked
and swayed. Jim might live to be
swept into that whirlpool with its
craunching timbers. sickened and
trembling, they awaited the dreadful
event; these men whosbraved dangers
daily were cravens now. There was
one-one only-one more man in such
storm; but he was mile away in the
upper camp.
They thought of Jerry with COM
mon impulse.
Hell be wild. He'll say we was a
lot Off,
go after Jerry"
The speakers paused. for along the
footpath Jerry was coming rapidly to-
ward them. The great muscles of his
arms and chest knotted beneath his red
shirt as he breasted the wind. His sup
pie stride brought him quickly to the

anced, Jim chung to his friends neck,
and the big fellow smiled at him with
his old. sweet kindness, though to-day
his eyes were brilliant and his face was
strong.
"All right, old man." he said. let
go and Doc'll catch We. Don't be scarf. "
The wind, water and logs screamed
and crashed all about them.
'Now!" cried Jerry, and threw Jim
straight into DIR. Mason's arms. They
saw him stagger in the. attempt to re-
cover his footing. Again and again he
'clinched his hands and crouched. But
he could not jump. The ice, oscillating
from his motion as he threw Jim,
sagged and careened beneath him, until
the steady feet failed and he fell face
downward. The men groaned aloud; u
few turned away, and others ran into
the water to help him. He had been
swept beyond human aid, however,
and they could only watch him die.
They saw him whirled into the water,
as the block of ice broke into thou
sand fragments; once he faced them
and waved his hand. In his face was
the light they had seen as he strobe
along the path ten minutes earlier.
His arm sank, and he was carried into
a clear place. All about. ice and logs
plunged and reared through the foam,
but some whim of wind or current held
them from the drowning man. The
river he loved was kind. For an in.
slant they saw his blond head above
the water and his hair gently lifted by
the stream. Then he sank quietly, and
the logs hurled themselves over the
spot where he had been.
When Dr.. Mason tells this story he
says that, as he views it, Jerry was
his Gown man when ne died.

lie remembered how fearful the tu-
mutt was, and how Jake l4eary had
lost his footing the previous spring
when the logs went out. When Jake's
foot slipped he was a doomed man;
there was yet time for Jerry to turn
and run for life. But the wind swept
down and buffeted him, and it's rage
entered his heart. hi. Wilt.
The huge mass of timber and ice
quaked and groaned and the noise of
the surging water was louder. Jerry
glanced again at the pltiful figure on
the rock, and sprang toward it, run
ming as the watchers had never seen q
man run before. He shouted to Jim to
stand ready; and Jim, though he could
not hear, understood. With his friend
near he began to recover from his
numbing terror. AS the jam moved
with it's first long, grinding swell, Jerry
reached him.
Come on! That's the way. Here ye
be, old fellow. Don't let go. Eff you do
EFF you do" d.. ~.
Now there was sharp, splitting, tear
ing sound above the dull roar, which
told Jerry that the jam was breaking
from top to bottom. He leaped faster,
his face fiercer and very white. Jim
could feel the iron frame gather itself
convulsively. Only few hundred feet
now, and they would be safe. All!
That was nobly done. The men cheered
wildly. Jerry ran like deer before the
dogs, but the water pursued even more
swiftly. There was fearful crash and
a cry from Jim. He saw a black wall of
water and jagged logs hidden in foam
rolling down upon them. The ice be-
meath Jerry's feet split to right and
left; it was moving, and he stumbled
twice. But with three jumps he could
reach the shore. One brave leap, an
other, and. the ice cleared. Now wide
lane of water swirled between him and
safety. George and the doctor were
standing waist deep in the stream to
help him, and he gathered his strength
for that last leap. The gap widened and
he saw it could not be done with Jim
as handicap. He must toss the boy
over first. Jerry's foothold was now
only pitching block of ice, caught on
,. temporary obstruction. AS they ball

very little, it has repeatedly out shot the

Tons Daily-Ths New Works VIII be
Ready TO Operate by the First OF sep
TENDER.
There are improvements being made at
many of the iron and steel mills In
Wheeling district this summer all of
them looking toward a greater output
and all indicating confidence in the fu-
ture that betokens the cheerfulness
that pervades the Ohio Valley. Al the
Bsllaire steel works perhaps the most
extensive improvements are being made
as the company Is building practically
new steel plant on the site of the old one
and making remarkable progress with
the work. In the course of talk with
the Independent man yesterday an OIL
cIaI uf the plant said; 'There are larger
plants than this one In this country, but
when Il Is completed there will be no bet
ter equipped plant in the world, We viii
be in the front rank OF the procession as
Il moves along"
The new steel plant Is at the extreme
north end OF the works the three cupolas
being built close together with the tap
on the east side. Just north OF these are
the huge vessels into which the molten
metal will be poured and blown, and on
the west ia a tramway where fiat cars
holding the moulds will be run TO receive
the molten metal when Its treatment is
finished. Electric cranes handle the
huge ladies' and the great vessels viii be

ed from 100 to 1900 tons daily, but 1t Is
estImatedthat 1t will work from 100 10 500
tons per day at least for time. Every
thing about the plant seems perfectly ar
ranged and the wonderful ingenuity OF
man Is demonstrated In what the cranes
and other devices will do in handling the
metal.

VERY SUCCESSFUL

Was the OutIng of Two Railway Broth-
erhoods Out ut Wheeling Park Yestsr-
day Afternoon -DiStingulShed Visitors.
The picnic and outing OF the Broth
erhood Of Railway Trainmen and
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Flremen, at
Wheeling park yesterday, was the big
success anticipated. Seldom has this
beautiful resort ever had within its
confines a more congenial gathering.
Several hundred railroaders from all
the lines branching into Wheeling, came
10 the city with their families and
friends, expecting to have a good time,
and they had Il.
The crowd was one OF the largest at
the park this year. and pleasure reign
ed supreme. In many respects the
gathering was n reminder Of good,
oldfashloned picnic. so general was the
good feeling displayed. Many OF the
crowd brought capacious baskets along,
the contents OF which were spread in
true picnic style. There were all kinds
Of amusements, and Mayors band fur
nished excellent music throughout the
day.
The exodus to the park began with
the departure OF the O'Clock motor,
which was crowded Succeeding mo-
tors until sometime In the evening,
were thronged with plcnlckers and
their friends There were large delega-
tons from Massillon. Parkershurg, Bel
lalre and Bcnwood Junction, and in fact
nearly all towns within a radius OF one
hundred miles were represented.
one Of the attractions OF the day was
the speaking. II took place In the open
air, between the Casino and bowling al
lnys. There was some disappointment
at the unavoidable absence OF Grand
Master +. II. Morrlsey, of Peoria, Ills,
OF the Brotherhood OF Railway Train
m1n, aud Grand Master Frank p. Snr-
gent. " the same city, OF the Brother
hood Of Flremen. In their stead
they appointed two worthy substitutes,
r r. Dodge, OF Chicago, second vice
grand master OF the tralnmen. and j. j.

master of the ilrcmen
The addresses were well received. An
other principal amusement was dane
ing This was largely patronized all
afternoon and evening. The bowling
alleys Of course, were another dttrlc-
tDn, Taken IN all, the Joint picnic Of
the two brotherhoods proved a great
success. and expressions Of delight were
heard tom an who attended.

GRANDER THAN EVER.
The Seventeenth Annual State Fair VIII
Ecitpse Them All.

The Seventeenth Animal state fair VIII
Eclipse Them All,
Before the organization of the West
Virginia Fair Association, Wheeling had
Fairs in name, but not in fact. The ex-
hibltluns during the life of the old fair
association were unworthy the city and
could not be compared with the exhibit
lions given in any of the years since $780,
the date Of the organization of the pres
ent association. rom the outset is was
the aim and object of the association to
dwarf anything which had been done In
the past, not only In Wheeling, but in
other cities Of much larger size and re-
sources, and they have steadily adhered
TO this policy. Year after year the exhi-
billion has Increased in magnitude and
interest, while the grounds have been en-
larged and improved and the buildings
reconstructed and the exhibits rear
ranged, until the property Of the assocla-
ton now represents an investment OF
over 100000. and the management re-
fleets all that IL best In like enterprises.
The seventeenth annual fair, which
opens September 9th, will be upon a
broader scale than any previous effort,
and will consequently represent both
modern ideas and progress The pro-
gramme is most attractive one
throughout.

There was practically no change in
the local mining strike situation yes
terday. Efforts to secure total suspen-
sion at the mines at Elm Grove. Glen
dale and Moundsville, have been I'M
avnIling, some OF the miners being at
work at all OF these plants, and nearly
full force at the Bosgs' Run mine,
The refusal OF the men at the latter
point to come out last week has been a
severe blow to the strikers, as It caus-
ed resumption at three other plants
which the strike leaders have been un-
able to counteract since. although des-
perate efforts In that direction have
been made. Small gains have been
made, but not sufficient TO make much
of showing.
The Trades Assembly committee Is
now busy In the work OF arranging for
the big mass meeting on the evening OF

Mr.. Gilmore Brown. the englneer-ln-
chief in charge OF the construction work
of the Wheeling & Elm Grove Railroad
Company, is authority for the state
ment that the work on construction on
the new line of the company will be
started within n few days, even though
the board of county commissioners has
not yet passed upon the application of
the Elm Grove for rights of way along
the pike In the district east Of the city.
originally It was not intended to be-
rim work until the county commissions
crs had passed the Elm Grove ordi-
nance. but as the ordinance is "held up"
In that body and with prospects that
there will be no action before the next
regular monthly meeting, 1t has been
deemed advisable to commence work in
the city in order to prevent u forfeiture
OF the franchise granted by the city
council This franchise was granted
over a month ago and the ordinance
provides that II the work is not started
and pushed within ninety days, the
franchise shall be null and void.
Mr.. Brown says the construction work
that ls to be pushed in the city includes
the single tracks on Water, Eoff, Nc
Culloch, Fifteenth and Chapline streets,
which, with the present tracks on Six
tenth street, form the city loop OF the
Elm Groves proposed electric system.
