Spaniards, to cease hostilities. join

also that if this home rule is net per-

down their arms, saying that period

Just and wise councils may prevail for
the permanent better of Cuba
Whether this will succeed, / do not

and were deaf to reason, or to any
proposition calculated

for Cuba.

CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
At the Wheeling Steel Company's Plant al
Benwood Monday.

Benwood Monday.
A force of men were at work yester
day at the Wheeling Steel Company's
plant at Benwood putting into working
order he parts Of the mill made topsy
turyy by Monday mornings explosion.
The boiler which exploded has been
examined, and it is found to have not
been damaged so BADLY that it cannot
be again used The old boiler will be
repaired with piece of new sheeting.
1t is likely that all the batteries will be
placed on their foundation for the re-
sumption of work Thursday. Master
Mechanic James Riddle stated yester-
day that the rumors afoat that the
explosion was due to an insufficient
amount of water in the boiler was I'M
true, as there is an equalizing pipe
running from one boiler to another in
each battery, and only one boiler ex-
ploded and no indication was found OF
boilers not having had enough water.
In Mr.. Riddles opinion the
explosion was due to a defect in the
iron. as the examination OF the bolt
ers yesterday disclosed no other prob
able cause. Although the pumps have
not been in excellent condition since
the flood, they were in good working
order and the machinery was working
all right. The remains Of David Gary,
who was killed by the explosion, were
taken Yesterday from the Emergency
hospital at Benwood to his home at
Iittleton. Wetzel county, in charge
of relatives. He will be buried to-
day.

victim of the fatal accident, has been

DID NOT GET HIM.
The Story Of a Wife Seeking a Faith
less Husband in This Clty---P arties
From Sistersyille.

A wife seeking faithless husband
aroused some excitement in upper
Benwood shortly after midnight yes
terday morning. Mrs. Clyde Hagens,
wife of a Sistersville oil man, came to
town Monday night on the trail of her
husband, who had strayed off with an
other woman, and, accompanied by
Lieut.. Ingram, got hack and went to
Benwood about midnight to find him
Ingram found that Hagens and two
women whom he was with, were at a
saloon across from the street car
barns.
Being in Benwood territory, Lieut.
Ingram telephoned fol ABenwood po-
liceman to come up and make the ar
rests. Officer Bond arrived, but the
husband gave the officer the slip by
running out the back way Of the sa-
loon. Mrs. Hagens was intensely anX-
ious to have her husband and the wo-
men he was with arrested, and at
tempted to take summary vengeance
on the woman who had supplanted her
in her husbands affections After
the escape of her husband, she return
ed to the city and spent all day yes
terday trying to get track OF her hus-
band and his paramour.
A Register reported yesterday found
Mrs. Hagens at a hotel, where she
was stopping, and gothic whole story
of her troubles. She stated that she
had discovered her husbands infidelity
before Christmas and had secured a
letter written to her husband by Rea
Gordon, a light haired damsel of bad
character, who wrote from Wheeling,
asking him to come and see her, and
incidentally wishing that Mrs. Hagens
were dead. Mrs. Hagens pursued her
husband to a houseboat at Sistersville
on Sunday and found him with the
Gordon woman. He got away from
her. although she declares she intended
to give Miss Gordon a dose Of vitrol.
She came to Wheeling Monday night
to find him, and discovered that her
husband, his brother and two women
were on the same train. He kept him.
self hid and got off the train at Ben
wood with the women. She folio 5ed
linn there, after arriving in this city,
with the result narrated above. Yes
terday Officer Dewitt, of Sistersville,
came to town to assist Mrs. Hagens in
finding her husband, but both returned
home last evening without getting
him. Mrs. Hagens is fairly good
looking woman. She says she has been
married ten years and has one child, a
son seven wears old

FIRST SECTION, SIGNAL CORPS.

Field Work With the Heliograph-
Signaling Between Rockville and

The First Section, Brigade Signal
Corps, had a field day recently, signal
ing between Rockville and Buena Wis
ia, West Hartford, distance of TWEEN
ty miles. Lieutenant Jenkins was In
charge at Rockville and Sergeant
Fairfield at Buena Vista. Field
work is of much more value to the
Signal Corps than armory practice,
and Major Giddings, brigade signal
officer, SO arranged that the orders
for the present drill season allow field
work by the corps to count in place
Of two a1mory drills in any one month.
| Consequently most of the sections
have spent one day month in the

In spite of the intense cold the sig

and Lieutenant Jenkins tested new

graph being an auxiliary device to the
service instrument, designed by First

is of new idfolng pattern designed
by Major Giddings for use with the

his spare time to the study Of harmony

Eighty Four New London '49ers Sailed
for California January 81, 1S49.
Monday was the anniversary of the
departure of the ship Mentor with
eighty-four New Londoners for the
California gold fields. The good ship
Mentor sailed from here January 81
1S49, at which time, according to
George Paine, who was cabin boy of
the craft on her successful voyage
there was skating in the harbor. The
skating was fine and the river above
the bridge was solid as a tar walk. All
along the shore any number of men
women, boys and girls were out enjoy
ing the sport.
Daniel B. Hampstead of this city
was one of the party Captain How
ard, the commander of the Mentor, is
long since deceased and was buried
on the Pacific coast. The captain died
while on a voyage to the gold fields

ST. VALENTINES DAY.
Approach of the Feast of the Patron
Saint of Lovers.

Saint of Lovers.
Valentines day. dear to the heart of
the lover the children and to the prac-
teal joker, will soon be here, now that
the LIST Of February is past. Already
the windows of the bookstores and
| news stands are beginning to display
the token of affection and the designs
| in silver and gold and in all the colors
| of the spectrum, embossed upon card
board and glazed are a delight to the
eye of the observer.
| In large measure Christmas and
Easter cards have taken the place of
the valentines, but these latter still
hold place in the heart of the young
and in the sentiments of those afflicted
by the gentle passion.
| The celebration of st. Valentines
day extends back to the fifteenth CEN
fury, when in the provinces of Lor-
raine and Maine in France and in
parts of England and of Scotland, on
the eve of st. Valentine, parties of
young people, maids and bachelors,
would assemble together and inscribe
upon little billets the names of an
equal number Of maids and bachelors
of their acquaintance, throw them into
receptacle of some sort and then
draw them lotterywi care being
taken that each should draw one of
the opposite sex. The person thus
drawn became ones valentine. OF
course, besides being having got val
/ entine for ones self, one became, by
| the universally of the practice, some
other persons valentine, but, as MUS
sion, learned traveller In the early
! part of the last century remarks, 1.-The
man stuck faster to the valentine that
had fallen to him than to her to whom
he had fallen.
These imaginary engagements often
lead to real ones and to marriage, be-
1 cause a necessary consequence was
that for whole year bachelor re-
manned bound to the service of his val
entine, somewhat after the fashion of
medieval knight of romance to his
lady love.
For some time back in America and
England the festival has ceased to pos
sess the graceful symbolic meaning it
used to have and has become some
what of a nuisance. The approach of
the day is heralded by the appearance
of missives generally consisting of sim
gle sheets of paper, upon which is
seeen some ridiculous colored carica-
lures of men or women with a few
burlesque verses below. Others are
sentimental in character and exhibit
representations of Hyman's altar, with
couple undergoing initiation into
welded happiness, while Cupid futters
obove and hearts pierced by darts
decorate the corners below.
These are sent through the mails te
such a degree that the postal service
is taxed to its utmost on st. Valen-
tines day. Besides the comic produc-
tions there are many really beautiful
and quite and expensive tributes of af-
lection which exhibit most artistically
the art of the photographer and color

above by the beautiful Christmas anc

issued to subscribers. 1t begins with
the family records in Cambridgeshire,
England, gives full account of John
Whittlesey and his wife Ruth Dudley,
the progenitors of the American
branch of the family, and a record of
the family in this country which is
said to contain much matter never be-
fore printed. While purely book of
reference, and of no interest to any
but historical students and members
of the family. it is valuable to both
these classes and contribution to
the kind of record that is appreciated
