Charles w. Vance, business man
of Benwood, and a well known citizen
Of Marshall county, was struck by a
B. & O. locomotive at Benwood last
evening and instantly killed. The ac-
cident occurred shortly after six o'clock
at the head of Fifth street, and about
$50 yards below Schad's crossing.
Mr.. Vance had been at the Riverside
office transacting some business and
was on his way home. He was walk
ing down between the tracks when he
heard the whistle of a locomotive be-
hind him and jumped to the right. In
stead OF getting out of the WY he
stepped right in front of the approach
ing engine. He was struck on the
right side of the head, his skull being
crushed in and his right arm crushed
and badly mangied. The body was re-
moved to Becker's undertaking estab-
lishment, on Main street, where an in
quest was held last night by Squire
Henry Riddle. The coroner's jury
was composed of VIM. Serig, Frank
Bartlebaugh, Edward Noel, Allie Lam
ders, VIM Altmyer, Edward NewtoA
After viewing the remains the wit
nesses gave their evidence. The train
men were the only persons supposed
to have seen the accident and they
were the only ones who testified at
the inquest
NJ b. Slower was the engineer of
the engine, No. S03, that ran over Mr..
Vance. 1t had taken the B. & 0. pay
car to Wheeling and was returning to
the Junction. Engineer Slower stated
that the engine was running back
wards but had markers out on each
side as required by the rules. The en-
CINE was running at the rate OF not
over seven or eight miles an hour. 1t
was just nine minutes after six o'clock
and was about dusk, but he was able
to see distinctly the figure OF a man
walking between the tracks ahead of
him. When about seventy-five feet
away he blew the whistle as warn
ing and slgnalled the second time.
When about ten feet away he saw the
man stagger towards the track on
which the engine was running. The
Lo
struck by the corner of the engine
tank, for if he had been hit fairly he
would have been dragged under the
wheels and his body considerably
mutilated. The fireman, w. H. Peel,
and Conductor J. S. Richardson cor
roborated the testimony of the engin-
eer. The jury rendered a verdict that
the death of Vance was accidental and
held that no blame was attached to the
engineer or train crew.
The death of Mr.. Vance has caused
general sorrow in BeHwOod. He was
an upright citizen of strictly moral
character and was widely respected.
He and his brother, Alonzo Vance. con-
Quoted large store near the Wheel
ing steel works. He was forty years
of age and unmarried. The funeral
will take place Sunday afternoon, and
owing to tie fact that the deceased
was we'll known and had many friends
who will wish to attend, the services
| will be held in the M. f. Church at
Benwood.

EPWoRTt, LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week Beginning Feb. is.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A. NJ.
Topic, Gods Unfailing Promises.


SCRIPTURE READING.-u Cor. i, 20; Il Pet. l.
4; John ii, 25-
Men cannot always fulfill their prom
Uses. They do not always when they
can. They say Eyes lightly and then
when the time of payment comes say
"No'' either from necessity or inclina-
ton. Gods promises are always Yea. -
He never fails. His words are sure,
though thousand generations of men
come and go before the appointed time
arrives. He promised Abraham to give
him son and through a descendant OF
his line to bless all people with redemp-
tion. Ages passed. Moses came and gave
law to Israel. Canaan was subdued.
Judges and kings ruled Israel and passed
away. Empires rose and fell. God did
not forget. In the fullness of time Christ
came.
God promises that by His Holy Spirit
dwelling in us we shall be made par
takers of the Divine nature. At the first
God made man in His own likeness,
possessing spiritual nature. He now
completes the work by giving the power
of endless life. This was His eternal
purpose in making the race. 1t was a
long waiting to get one perfect man.
But when Christ Jesus, the true man,
has appeared others shall rise in His
power.
1t would be well to make the devo-
tional service this week promise meet
ing. Let each one search out in the BIZ
BILE the promises of God on the line Of
the Scripture reading. Clearly set forth
what God has agreed to do for His chill
dren. Then by heart searching ascertain
to what extent His promises have been
claimed and fulfilled in your own life.
If there has been failure, discover the
cause and apply the remedy.

Significant Signs.

Increasing attention is being given in
many quarters to Bible study. Satur-
day afternoon classes are formed, and
men Of special talent for this work are
secured as leaders. Large numbers at
tend. This movement is not confined t.
any one section of the country, but
seems to have begun in many places al
the same time. 1t appears to be sponta-
neous and to have originated in re-
spouse to demand of the times. Many
things indicate that period of more
earnest Bible searching is opening. Tn.
sharp tests applied in so many different
respects to the word in the last few
years have not weakened the confidence
of the thinking world in its truth, bu,
have confirmed its claim as the word Of
God. The researches in the far east
have awakened fresh interest in the
earlier parts of the Old Testament, and
by showing the historic accuracy Of
passages, by many persons regarded as
fables, have given new impulse to care.

mistake to give exclusive attention tc
what is called practical applications
of the Bible. Much of fanaticism AM

were taken to learn the real meaning
and circumstances of the various parts
of the book. Accurate knowledge first;
then adaptation and application of prin
ciples to present needs will naturally
follow. Deeper knowledge will bring

Christian Moderation.

One of the most prominent features
of modern American life is its intense
ness. Push, haste, intensity, character
ize all our movements. Rapid transit is
written on every enterprise. In conse-
quence things wear out quickly. People
become old prematurely. Weakness
rather than strength results Slow and
sure is too good maxim to be entirely
disregarded Moderation in pace will
often reach the journeys end more
quickly and far more safely and COM
fortably than undue speed. We need to
cultivate moderation in many directions
The speech and conduct of our young
people are frequently in need of this eau
tion. Words are often spoken too hasti-
ly, too sharply, decision is arrived at on
debatable matters before the circum-
stances are fully known, and in too
many cases words are bitterly repented
and actions regretted. A little more
moderation would have saved much
pain. Temperate in all things is a
good rule. to keep ever before ones
mind. This will not make one dull and
poky, but gentle and courteous. 1t takes
more courage and spirit to restrain tenn
per and go quietly than to give rein
to passion. The man of power is the
one who rules his own spirit. Others
will trust him to lead them also. Intern
perance in any line of action or speech
proves one incapable of safely managing
himself or others.

When the mists of pain are thickest
And the storm is at its height;
Whez, bewildered and affrighted,
We stumble without light;
When the old props faint and fail US
And the old hopes fade and flee,
o Lord, most kind, most pitiful,
Whom have we left but Thee2
When youth and beauty in their prime
Are %ithered at breath:
When the very light of life is quenched
By the chill hand of death;
When the LEAKAGE we call happiness
Is stripped off utterly,
o Lord, the Lord who changest not,
Whom may we trust, save Theef
What can we do but tighten
Our half despairing hold
Upon Thy sure and steadfast word,
Thy seamless garment IS fold,
Anchor of drifting, struggling hearts.
Sore vexed by wind and sea ?
o Lord, the everlasting Lord,
Our only hope is Theel
Through BLACKLIST night, mid widest wave
In heights and depths unknown.
We stay US on that faiihfulness
Which never failed its own.
Beaten and blown and buffeted,
And long the way may be,
But blest the way, o plying Lord
ID it but ends in Thee
