The scheme Of the Kings Daughters
Of the Second Presbyterian church to
manage a grocery proved great sue
cess. For two days the society will
have charge of Redekers grocery, No
2l37 Market street. Yesterday and
last evening the fair clerks did rush
ing business and caused other grocery
keepers of that part of town to con-
graduate themselves that the Kings
Daughters will be in business for only
limited time. The ladies were hign-
ly gratified by the amount and num-
Der of sales and are well pleased with
the success of their scheme.
The clerks at the store had all they
could do to attend to the wants of the
customers and fill the orders that were
brought in by other members who
were out canvassing. AS fast as the
orders were filled the goods were de-
livered, and a wagon was kept en-
ployed all day. The Kings Daughters
will have charge OF the store also to-
day and evening.
The clerks are Mrs. Geo H. Ebel-
ing, Mrs. w. r. Dudley, Mrs William
Fee, Mrs. Chas thinner, Mrs. VIM. H.
Irwin, Misses Lula Franzell, Temper
ance Garden, Lottie Ritter, Lizzie
Swift, Lizzie Brown. The zeal of
these ladies is manifested in worthy
cause and they should be literally
patronized. The store is well stocked
with all kinds of the best groceries
and articles on the market, and there
is no call for anything in this line that
cannot be supplied The store will be
open all day and tonight, with the
committee in charge.

probable homicide occurred last
evening at Benwood Oscar Hanlon,
boy aged IS years, had his skull
crushed by a stone thrown by John
Hahn, Waterman at the Wheeling steel
works, and will likely die
The unfortunate affair occurred be-
tween six and seven o'clock. Accord
ing to the statements of those who
claim to have witnessed the affair,
young Hanlon and a couple Of compan
ions by the names of Couch and
Kearns, were on the mill property and
Hahn attempted to run them off. In
doing so he picked up a limestone
about the size Of a mans first, and
threw this at them. The stone struck
young Hanlon on the left side Of the
head, just back of the temple crush
ing the skull. The boy sank to the
ground in utter Inconsistencies, and
lay as if dead.
When the Waterman realized what
he had done, alarm took the place of
anger, and he helped to pick the in
jured boy up and carry him to the
Emergency hospital, about four or five
squares above the mill Here three
physicians, Doctors Eskey, Alley and
Downing, made an examination and
found that the stone had made a hole.
" inch in diameter, in the skull and
that pieces of bone had been driven
to the brain. The skull was trepaned
and the pieces of bones against the
brain removed. In spite Of the opera
ton the physicians all state that Han
Ions condition is very doubtful, with
the chances against recovery.
The affair caused considerable ex-
element in Benwood, and large
crowd collected around the Emergency
hospital. Hahn was at the hospital
when Constable John 10y arrested
him. He was taken to the city lock-
up and put in Jail to await the result
of young Hanlon's injuries. Hahn
seemed to be very much cast down.
He refused to talk much about the
affair, except TO say he had been
bothered great deal by the boys
frequenting the mill property which
it was his duty to watch. He would
not acknowledge or deny having
thrown the stone that will likely
cause Hanlon's death.
The story that he did throw the
stone is supported by the evidence Of
the two boys who were with Han
Ion. Hahn is about thirty-eight years
of age, married and has a family.
Hanlon is a son Of James Hanlon, and
has been employed at the Riverside
tube works.
