Edward c. Manning was about town
Wednesday paying witness fees of the
defendant in the case of Mary Wood
ward VS.. Edward G. Manning, in her
wicked attempt to deprive him of his
liberty to the end that a lot of unscrup-
ulous relatives might have control
and ultimately inherit his property.
They lost the case but nothing in
money or reputation, but succeeded in
making the brother for whose welfare

MURDER |

Thomas Haggerty Killed at Elizabeth,
w. Va, by the Son of n Sheriff.
A report from Eliza beth, w. Va, i,
Wednesday afternoon says that Thos
Haggerty was shot and instantly killed
by young Wiseman son of sheriff
Wiseman. The report says that Wise
man called Haggerty into his store and
shot him with revolver. The bullet
entered just below the eye, death en-
suing almost instantly. Wiseman ran
to the Sheriffs office and barricaded
himself inside, There is great excite
ment over the murder, which appears
to have been without cause. There
was no quarrel, or words so far as we
can learn.

AFTER THEM.

Sheriff McCallister Using Every Endeavor
to Capture the Raven Rock Robbers.
Sheriff John S. McCallister returned
Wednesday morning from the vicinity
of the Beagle robbery at Raven Rock,
having been unable to locate the per-
petrators. He confirms the published
reports of the circumstances and re-
CARDS the crime as most serious one,
as the people of that neighborhood will
be unable to go to sleep in safety until
the gang of desperados is broken up.
The Sheriff left for points down the
Ohio and will put forth every effort to
locate and capture the thieves. His
energy in such cases is well known
and somebody burglarously inclined
will have to keep up hot pace to
avoid punishment.

Case Continued.

Pearl and Walter Finney, the two
young men arrested for burglarizing a
school house, were before Judge Rood
Wednesday for trial. While the testi-
mony was being taken the defense
moved that the prisoners be discharged
on the ground of material variance be-
tween the evidence and the charge.
The State was given leave to amend
the charge and the case was continued
to next Tuesday at p. IN.

INTO A TREE
Crashed the Engine Of South
bound Local Freight
On the c, & M, Ry. Wednesday and Went
Over all Embankment.
Engineer Charles Haddox Receives Serious
Internal Injuries and Fireman
Walter Dye Loses an Arm
Above the Elbow.
Oscar Mott Hurt.

The news that three Marietta rail-
road men were badly hurt near Canal
Dover, on the c. tS NJ, caused consid-
era bic excitement in the city Wednes-
day ard when rumors were verified
brought out the sincere sympathy of
the people for the injured men and
their families The wreck occurred at
Eagle Hill, about four miles north of
Canal Dover and was one of the worst
occurring on the G. & NJ. for several
years.
The south bound local freight train,
Conductor Arthur Spear, Engineer
Chas. Haddox, Fireman Walter Dye,
Brakeman Oscar Mott, was running at
a good speed in binding snow storm,
when the locomotive struck tree that
had been carried onto the track by a
landslide. The engine, tender and
four cars went over the bank of the
Tuscarawus river. The tender turned
completely over Engineer Haddox
was thrown onto the running board of
his engine and seriously hurt
Fireman Dye was pinioned by the
left arm between the cab and the
overturned tender and was unable to
move. His arm was fearfully crushed
but was held as in vice. An oil can
on the engine exploded, setting fire to
the splintered cab Although suffer
ing eXcruciating agony, Fireman Dye
oil
arm be cut off to save him from being
burned alive. A miner named Jones
needed his cry and with a pocket knife
severed the mangled arm, saying the
plucky fireman's life.
Brakeman Oscar Mott jumped when
the train went over and is reported
painfully but not seriously bruised.
The injured men were taken as soon as
possible to Canal Dover, where it was
found necessary on account of the
bone being crushed to again ampu-
tate the arm of Fireman Dye near the
elbow.
All the men hurt are well inowL
and reside in Marietta. Mrs. Haddox,
j. II, Dye, father of Walter, and a
number of friends went up on the
afternoon train to bring them home.
] They, arrived at eight o'clock Wednes.
day evening, Mr.. Haddox being taken
to his home on the West Side and Mr..
Dye to hisCfather's.
Both men were in remarkably good
condition, considering what they had
passed through Engineer Haddow is
badly cut about the face and head and
is injured internally, though to what
extent cannot yet be told.
Fireman Dye appears to have no ser
ious hurts except the amputated arm
and at last report was resting as easy
as could be expected
Their escape from instant death was
little short of miraculous and if goot
fortune attends them they will botl
recover,

PATH ON PRIOR AVENUE.
Merriam Park Cyclists Want the
Best Going,

Among the bicycle paths that are to
be built this spring there is not one
that is so important as that which the
Wheelmen wish to construct on Prior
avenue from University to Summit. A
strong effort is being made to obtain
the required funds so that the work
may be begun at the earliest date pos
sible Arrangements are under way
for the building Of path the entire
length of University avenue and on
Summit from the city to the river, and
nothing will prove of more benefit to
the people of Merriam Park than the
connection of those two great thor
oughfares through the center Of the
park with a first-class path. A sub
scription paper has been circulated
during the past few days, resulting IN
the collection of $71.
1t is estimated that nearly double
this amount will have to be raised in
order to do the work in the way it
should be- Many no doubt would be
pleased to contribute who cannot be
seen personally by the committee, but
if they will send a check to A. l..
Woolsey or to A. c. Woodruff receipt
will be acknowledged in these columns.
At any rate citizens should respond
if they can when the matter is pre-
sented to them More bicycle paths
will be built this year than ever be
fore, and it is not characteristic of
Merriam Park to be behind the times

PATHS IN CONDITION.
Some Cycle Roads Now Ready for
Use,

The first meeting of the season of the
St. Paul Cycle Path association was
held last Thursday afternoon at the
office of A. B. Ovitt The following Off
GERS were elected for the coming season:
Pres dent, Col. w. P. CIough; vice pre5i-
dent, DR.. J. c. Nelson; secretary, Oscar
Taylor; treasurer T. E. Scott.
1t was decided that the first work of
the association for this year would be
the building of a cycle path on LeXing-
ton avenue from Summit to Como park.
It developed that great interest was be-
ing taken in the building of paths this
year, and it was decided to send out
subscription papers at once. Each sub
scriber, as told in the G o b e some
weeks ago, is to be given q wheel-plate
on which will be engraved the words
st Paul Cycle Path Association, 1897. :
Several of the men present at the
meeting said that they had been out
looking over the paths built last year,
and had found them already in excel
lent condition for riding, except where
they had been damaged by reason of
heavy teaming on them. The White
Bear path is said to have been damaged
to the extent of 500 on this account.
The Summit avenue path was also
found to be in need Of some repairs, and
the following members Of the associ-
alton were delegated to see that the
work is done: r. J. G. BOtt, Oscar Tay-
lor, A. B. Ovitt, J. c. Nelson and F.
z. Lowe.

progressing in the study Of hygiene and
the proper uses of foods as well as in
other sciences. More interest is mani
tested and greater care is being taken
that the articles Of food presented TO
the public are of a pure, wholesome
and nutritious character than ever be-
fore. For these reasons principally the
success of the coming food show will
without doubt be beyond the most san
guine hopes Of the promulgators Of the
undertaking.
There are now $50 entries for the road
race, which will occur on the afternoon
of April 19, for which the prizes were
announced in the daily papers OF
Thursday. The entries for this race
must be in the hands of J. A. Written
sohn by noon Of April II, and they must
be on the forms furnished by the man
agement of the cycle show. Entrants
should be cautious in answering the
questions contained in the entry
blanks, as a mistake and either inten-
tional or unintentional Justification will
render the entry void. This race will
be ten miles, starting from the Hotel
ST. Louis and finishing in front of the
exhibition building.

WHEN RIDING AFTER DARK.

ENDANGERED BY THOSE WITH

TWIN BROTHER OF ~sooRoH1ss.
This Cause as From Scorch-
Ing.

The scorchers are not the only wheel
men in the city that are causing COM
ment these days.
at is a, we'll known fact that the
cyclists who make a practice of fast
riding on the streets are in a minority,
but there is another brigade Of riders.
| and it numbers up in the hundreds in
st. Paul, who are committing an Of
fense that is almost as grave in its
nature as is scorching." These words
of wisdom were spoken by prominent
wheelman yesterday, and he went on
to say that he referred to the practice
of a vast majority of the. wheeImen
who ride after night without the aid
of a bicycle lamp to light their path.
They not only place pedestrians in
danger" he said, but they show by
their actions that they have little or
no regard for their own welfare.
have been out riding when 1 would
not have been able to see foot in
front Of me but for my light Every
one who knows anything about wheels
also knows that they make absolutely
no noise on the pavements, and when
a pedestrian is knocked down in the
udIh ny d iildu On d Wno6l winch is
not equipped with a lantern, the first
inkling that he has that there is a
wheel within a hundred miles is when
ne feels it. Last year there We're acct
dents innumerable resulting from this
very cause, and 1 have heard of two
or three already this year
People are raising a great hue and
cry about scOrching when, if they will
go over the records, they will find that
the accidents caused by the Lack of
lamps are sufficient in number to call
for their general use. sAnd there is
no reason why they should not, for
in scorching many accidents are avert
ed because the people can at least see
each other in the daylight, and either
the pedestrian gets out Of the way or
the rider sees the danger in time to
steer to one side Of the person in his
path.
''All the larger cities in the East have
ordinances against riding after dark
without lighted lamp attached to
the wheel, and certainly such a state
of affairs would not exist unless it
was benefit to all concerned"
