to organized labor by speaking up for
union wages az Harry Miners Theatre,

wages are paid.

DR.. Redmond, specialist In the
study and treatment of piles and rectal
diseases, recently stated that the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure, the new discovery for
the cure of piles, was the most remark
able remedy he had ever seen or tried
in one respect; and that was the in
slant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe. from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied. This was
the more surprising to him because
he had carefully analysed the prepara-
ton and no trace of opium, cocaine or
similar poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it
is rapidly taking place of surgical OPP
erations and because it is so simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly
used in cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure not only cures the va
rious forms OF piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first ap-
plication, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important adj
vantage is the fact that anyone can
use the remedy without detention from
business or interference with daily oc-
cupation Sold by druggists at SO
cents per package.

The case of State VS.. Clarence, alias
"Bandy. Johnson and Hugh Devinney,
indicted for murder of Charles Nc
Laughlin, on September 9th, was called
yesterday morning in the Ohio county
Criminal Court. Capt. B. B. Dovener
and S. o. Boyce appeared for the de-
tense, and John A. Howard is assist
ing the prosecution.
The prisoners were brought into
court, and when the witnesses for the
defense was called, Annie Riley
failed to answer to ner name. De-
Tense made a motion for continuance
on the gronud that the Riley woman is
made in support of the motion, and
Johnson was put upon the stand and
asked few questions concerning the
fight between himself and Devinney
on the one side, and Mclaughlin and
Craig on the other, which took place
on the Wednesday night preceding the
killing. The Riley woman is alleged to
have been present She is now said
to be in Wellsville.
The Court heard the evidence and
arguments, and overruled the motion.
Capt. Dovener then made motion
for change of venue, and was given
time for the preparation of a proper
petition, which was later filed with
the Court. Capt. Dovener called at
tention to publications in the Wheeling
papers after the killing, reading tno
headlines of some of them. His pur-
pose was to show that a prejudice
against the prisoners exists, which
may prevent fair and impartial trial
of the case in Ohio county.
August c. Meyers was placed on the
stand, and examined by Captain Dove
ner. In response to questions, he sta
ted that he had secured a paper from
the McLaughlins, which he had circu-
lated through the Riverside mill, where
Chas. Mclaughlin was employed. He
had collected $34 from the employees of
the plant. Upon beng pressed by
Captain Dovener, he said he thought
the money was for the purpose of pay
ing an attorney to assist in the prose-
cution of Johnson and Devinney.
An effort was made to secure the
attendance of M. A. Chew, whom the
defense desired to examine. but he
could not be found, and Court adj
journed until this morning.

.A B. J D. FREIGHT WRECK.
Two Trains Collided at the Hempfeld
Tunnel Yesterday,

DOING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE,
BUT ENirAILlNG NO Loss o9'
LIFE OR INJURY TO TRAIN
ChEWS-HCW IT OCCURRED.
TRACK CLEARED IN A SHORT
TIME-ACCIDENf IN BRINGING A
BOX CAR THROUGH HEMPFIELD
EARDS.
There was a freight wreck on the B.
& o. road, Hempheid division, west of
the Peninsula tunnel, shortly after
noon yesterday, which did some dam
age to both trains, but fortunately
caused no personal injury or loss OF
life.
The collision occurred between two
sections of west-bound freight train
No. 50. The first section passed Elm
Grove fifteen minutes anead of the sec
Ond, but ran very slowly. After pass
ing through the tunnel, il was the in
tention to switch cars on the track near
the stock yards. The train was almost
at a standstill, when the second sec
ton came through the tunnel, and be-
fore it could De stopped, the engine
crashed into the caboOSe Of the front
section. The engineers were Messrs.
Nicholson and Calbaugh respectively.
The caboose was mashed into splin-
tiers, and car on the first section con-
tanning heavy iron was turned over
the embankment, which is high at that
point. The engine of the second Sec
| tion was slightly damaged. Its tender
was backed up on a box car contain
ing shingles. The sides and front end
of the car were mashed, and the con-
tents spilled. The crew Of the second
section was very fortunate in escaping
without injury.
The accident caused no delay in pas
senger or freight traffic, as the wreck
crew cleared the track promptly. About
six o'clock an engine hauled the box
car containing shingles, down to the
yards. One of its sides was broken
and bulged out several feet. In pass
ing through the Hempfield yards, the
| broken side struck a Western Union
telegraph pole. Although the train
was not moving rapidly, when the pole
was struck, it broke about fifteen feet
| above the ground, and was in danger
! of falling at any moment. c. R. Tracy
! local superintendent of the w. U. T.
will put force of men at work thi:
! morning to repair the damage, and il
| possible to prevent the wires from
dropping.

The Choicest Pianos Ever brought to
Wheeling Secured by the f. w Haums r
Company.
Yesterday Mr. F. w. Banner re-
turned from New York City, where he
has been for some days past making
his annual purchases Of fine pianos
for the Christmas trade. Mr.. Banner
was seen last evening, soon aster his
arrival, and in reply to-a question as to
the results of his business enquiries
and purchases, he said:
Il have secured the finest line of
pianos l ever purchased in all of my
business experie ce, and am delighted
with the goods in that line | shall be
able to offer to the public of this city
and vicinity. l was specially for
tunate in securing one particular Stein
way grand, in splendid mahogany
case. This is a special piano, reserved
from sale upon ordinary occasions, and
l was only able to obtain it through
the personal kindness and courtesy Of
Mr.. Stetson, who is the head of the
Steinway house. This piano is beyond
all question the finest and best instru-
ment ever brought to Wheeling, and l
shall be particularly delighted to show
it to appreciative musical people.
This is but one of the rare instru-
ments l obtained, however, and we will
show line OF pianos, beginning next
week, which have never been equalled
or approached in this city, either by
this house or any other. l am aware
that this is a broad assertion, but [
mean just what l say, and an inspec-
ton of the instruments to arrive within
the ensuing few days will bear out my
claim. Our holiday stock, in every de-
partment, will excel all our past show
ings, and our efforts in this direction is
a result not only of our own enterprise,
but of the advance of general musical
culture in Wheeling. That which was
good enough two or three, or even one
year ago, will no longer answer the re-
ouirements of the customers of firm
such as ours, and we have consequent
1y selected the best to be had in the
Metropolis, and can enter upon the hol-
iday trade with every confidence, both
in our own success, and in the satisfac-
ton and pleasure of our patrons"
