PETER WENDEL DIES.
As Was Feared He succumbed to
His Injuries Last Night.

Peter Wendell. 5r., the expressman who
was so terribly injured in the accident
at the establishment of the Wheeling
Tent and Awning Company Monday
morning, succumbed to his terrible In
jurles last night at o'clock at the
City hospital. Physicians did every
thing possible to preserve the spark OF
life, but the unfortunate mans life had
been nearly crushed entirely out and 1t
was beyond mortal possibility to fan the
Pickering spark into healthful combus-
tlon.
The deceased was resident of the
Fifth ward, and surviving him are his
wife and one daughter. Mr.. Wendell
was the son of Peter Wendell, ST., retired,
OF the South Side. He was about forty
years Of age. He returned to Wheeling
about three years ago from Missouri,
where he lived five or six years. While
in Missouri he married Miss Mary Ber-
ger OF Neotla, that state. Since his re-
turn to Wheeling he has been connected
with the firm OF Wendell Brothers, eX-
pressmen. He was a member OF Black
Prince lodge No. 10, knights Of Pythlas;
also a member of the A. o. U. w. He
was liked by all who knew him, and was
a likely candidate for council on the Re-
publican ticket at the approaching city
election. The bareaved wife and daugh-
ter have the sincere sympathy of the
community,

A DEsPIcABLE ACTION
By Two Strangers Results in ThciI
Arrest Last Night.

By Two Strangers Results III 4IlclE
Arrest Last Night.
Despite the efforts OF the police, there
have been many cases recently OF re-
spectacle women being insulted on the
streets, in the business section Of the
city, generally by strangers, but some
times by persons who are not strangers
to anything but responsibility.
A case in point occurred last evening,
at s o'clock, on Market street. A mar
rled woman was out shopping Coming
down Market street, near the Musee,
she was approached on either side by
two strangers, who insisted on accom-
panyinE her home. She walked down
street, but was repeatedly annoyed by
the pair OF wOuld-be lady killers" FL
nally, frightened by the addresses Of
the two, the lady inquired for and
found an officer. who happened to be a
relative. The lady was so frightened
she could not readily tell the officer
what troubled her, and in the meantime
one OF the scOundrels escaped. The
other, however. who proved to be Co
lumbus travelling man, whose name Is
either Pease or Uphum, was caught
and taken TO police headquarters. The
officer then went after the fellow who
had escaped, and nabbed him in front
OF the Mcclure. He, too, was taken 10
the police office His name is Fred Esh-
ner, a follower of the races now
on here. The pair Will play star parts
in this mornings police court,
and 1t Is safe to say that Mayor Butts
will apply as large a dose OF Justice as
the municipal laws Will allow. y few
shining examples may bring 10 an end
the altogether too frequent annoying
Of ladies' on the streets.
