Daniel Cooley, car inspector at the
Riverside works, was run over by a
B. & 0. engine at BenWood about half
past six o'clock yesterday morning and
instantly killed. He was on his way
to work at the time and was walking
north along the track just below
Shad's crossing. Cogley was familiar
with the fact that the trains generally
used the east track, but did not know
that the trains were running on the
west track, owing to freight wreck
below Boggs' run, and which blocked
the track. Thus when Cogley heard
the engine approaching from behind
he stepped to the west track, as he
thought, to get out Of the way. In
stead of doing this, he stepped right
in front Of the locomotive. Joe Kearns
was short distance ahead OF Cog
ley and called to give him warning.
but it was too late. The unfortunate
man was struck fairly and in run
for a distance of twenty feet.
Both arms were mangled and both
legs were cut off. The back Of the
head was also crushed. The body was
picked up and taken to Becker's I'm
dertaking establishment to be pre-
pared for burial, and for the inquest
which was held last night by Squire
Riddle.
Cogley was about IS years Of age
and well known in Benwood He lived
at Benwood Junction and leaves q
wife and family of grown children.
A couple Of his sons are in the en-
ploy of the B. & 0. company. One,
VIM. Cogley, who lives at No. 1928
Eoff street. this city, is employed as
shipping clerk at the local B. & Q.
freight station. y,

A SURPRISE PARTY.
Did Cronies Won Three Straight Games
Last Night

Surprises are becoming frequent in the
Wheeling bowling tournament The Old
Cronies are at the bottom of the heap,
but last night they played in excellent
shape, taking three straights from the
Cosmopolitans, who are in third place.
The Old Cronies only had margin of
twenty in their string of aggregate pins,
but they managed to divide the twenty in
such a way as to give them the entire SER
les with the top-notchers. It was a very
humiliating defeat for the team, which
las been considered a factor in the cham
pionship race. The Crones had a very
narrow margin, but it was sufficient To-
night the Aber Nits meet the Defenders,
and if the former drop three games, they
will be tied for last place with the Old
Cronies. The Cronies are determined to
pull out of the eight-hole, and have made.

Jack Bonner, who is matched to
meet Nick Burley before the Metro
politan Athletic Club next Tuesday
evening, arrived in the city last night,
accompanied By his trainer, Leslie
Pearce, and Richard Mccormack, OF
Pittsburg. Bonner's presence gives
the lie to the fake reports that he
contemplated disappointing the NJ.
A. c.. He came with Pearce from Buff
falo, n Y, leaving after his fight with
Mccormack, which was stopped by the
police in the nineteenth round. Bon
ner carries a black eye, but claims that
he had his opponent going and would
certainly have finished him but for the
police interference. Pearce is matched
for a contest himself, and will train
here with Bonner.
1t was also expected that Burley
would return to the city this week.
He has been training with friends in
GAINESVILLE. Burley realizes the gray
ity of the task he has undertaken, and
has therefore concluded to finish his
training in GAINESVILLE, and not to
break in on his systematic work by
leaving at this time.
The men are to weigh 100 pounds,
which puts them in the heavyweight
class The statement in an evening
paper that it will be the first heavy
weight contest under NJ. A. G.. aus
pices, was incorrect. One of the first
contests in the Fulton club house was
between Woods and Scanlon, both big
fellows, which was wen with ease by
the former.
The programme of preliminaries has
been arranged. Eddie Gardner, of
whom mention was made yesterday.
will meet an unknown" who is eX
pCcted to accompany the Burley party
to this city Charlie Burns viii box
several rounds with Hermann Beck,
of Pittsburg. Joe Bruner will give an
exhibition with Buzz Auber. The
preliminaries will start upon the ar
rival of the eight o'clock motor. and
the officials promise that there will be
no delays.
There has seldom been q boxer who
has been so numerically roasted"
by the sporting writers as "Yank"
Kenny, of this city. "YaDk' is a mag
nificently proportioned fellow, bearing
a striking resemblance to Corbett. It
was this resemblance. rather than mis-
pugilistic ability which brought him
into prominence. He left his home in
the Sixth ward several years ago, and
his friends were surprised to learn
that he had won a fight somewhere in
the West. He had manifested no in
clination in that direction while liv-
ing in Wheeling. Then somebody dis
covered that he looked like "Pompa,
dour Jim whose star was then in the
ascendancy, and in some unaccount-
able manner the story spread that he
was wonderfully scientific boxer and
remarkable puncher. He was her
aided as the coming champion, and
matches were made for him, but some
how or other he never fought. It was
whispered about once or twice that
he ran away. AT any rate the time
came when he was compelled to show
what was in him, and simultaneously
came his downfall. Peter Maher
nipped his championship aspirations
in the bud and Peter is not even
good second-rater. Never did world
heater" meet with such inglorious de-
feat as did Kenny at the hands of the
Irishman.
