BOILERS AT WHEELING
Steel Plant Blew Up at Ben
wood, This Morning.
Three Big Boilers ExplOdes, and Six
Men were Buried Under the Debris
Two Have Been Taken Out Dead, and
Four More are Still Pinioned Fast
and Will Probably Die.

The town of Benwood, across the
river from Bellaire, Ohio, and four
miles below Wheeling, was thrown
into intense excitement this morn
ing, caused by three immense steel
boilers in the Wheeling Steel
Works at that city exploding. 1t
is known that in the debris there
were six men pinioned fast, and af.
ter much work two of them have
been dug out, but both were
dead. At three o'clock this
afternoon it was reported that there
is still four more men known to be
in the wreck, still alive, but it is
feared they will be dead before they
can be rescued. The mill is almost
an entire wreck and several other
men who work in the plant are in
iured, but none of them fatally.
No one can tell yet what caused
the explosion. 1t is the most dread
full and heart-rending accident that
ever befell this sturdy little manu-
featuring city.

VILE.

VILE.
Our readers will remember that
for some months past the Review
has been urging the people to buy
all the stamps and other postal mat
ter they could so as to run up the
receipts to ten thousand dollars a
year and by so doing we could get
a tree delivery. When Postmaster
Work took charge of the Office we
said that we thought he would be
able to make this point and we are
pleased to announce that the re-
ceipts of our Office for the quarter
ending March the 3Ist is over
twenty-five hundred dollars and I'M
der the postal laws we are now en-
titled to free delivery.
Postmaster Work will go to
Washington in a few days to urge
our Congressman, B. B. Dovenor to
take the matter up and push it to
completion at as early a date as
possible. So you see it is only a
question now of few days until
we will have our mail delivered to
us right at our homes and places of
business. This will not only be of
great convenience but it will make
us Just that much nearer being a
city. 1t will give steady employ
ment TO several mail carriers. 1t
stops people focking to the post
office. And it shows to the out
side world beyond all dispute that
Sistersville is still growing with
rapid strides. There is not
another town or city in the
union that has held its own and in
creased its receipts during the past
three dull months but good old Sis
tersville. We are improving right
along and you can't stop us.
We believe that it will be neces-
sary now for the city to be laid out
into wards, and the council should
attend to this at once, as it has a
right to do under the state law gov
erning municipalities.
Hurrah for FREE MAIL DE
LIVERY! and three cheers for our
young and enterprising postmaster,
George E. Work! George is all
right.

His Latest Freak.

Gov. George Wesley Atkinson
has taken the short cut to fame and
recommended patent medicine.
The blank and trusting physiog-
nomy of our distinguished governor
is now adjoining the columns OF
many papers over a fulsome recon-
men6ation of a remedy which pro-
fesses to cure many ills. The gov
ernor has achieved some notoriety
outside the state through the Chill
ton scandal, the Hines letter and
the iunkets of his staff, to say moth
ing of various speeches on all oc-
cqsions, religious and political.
But this does not satisfy his yearn-
iugs and so he goes to the last re-
sort and gets double column cut
in the newspapers as champion of
a patent medicine. The picture is
an excellent one, though surprising
to state, the hair is parted equally
in the middle.
This will cause sorrow among the
republican yeomanry who will see
in this the evidence that their for
mer idol has really become infected
with the manners of the efete east
and now it would not startle any
one to learn that he is taking les
sons in that swell and all fait game,
golf. Whether Gov. Atkinson's
recommendation will aid the sale of
the medicine is in question and the
medicine men are evidently in
doubt as to its efficacy in West Vir-
ginia, since it has appeared in none
of the state papers. Perhaps these
medicine men are "onto their job"
and realize that Atkinson's "rec-
ommend" might queer thei! bust
ness in West Virginia as it has
other things, notably the republican
party. In view of this latest freak
of the governors Gov. VIM. Yancy
Atkinson, of George, must soon do
something in self defense. When
the name and fame of the Atkinsons
are dragged through patent medi-
cines to speak, it is time to act.

At Shawneetown, Illinois, by
the Breaking of the Levee.
TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE
Were Drowned by the Sudden
thrush of the Waters.
The YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Disaster Parai-
let,ed-The Flood Rreaks Upon the
Community Like Tidal Wave.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 3 "A spec
ial from Girard, ILL.,, says:
A telephone message has been
received here from ShawneetoWn,
III, saying that at 4:3o o'clock this
afternoon the leyee above the city
broke and the city is inundated.
The water has backed up for five
miles and rushed down upon the
city like a tidal wave.
After the message was received
telephone and telegraph communi-
cation with Shawneetown was sud
denly cut off, which tends to con-
firm the report. Nothing more
has been learned. 1t is rumored
that over two hundred lives were
lost, although it is believed this
estimate is too large.
Chicago, April At 1890 to-
night the operator in the long dis
lance telephone company's office at
Mt. Venom, Ind, informed the Asso,
ciated Press that the estimate on the
loss OF life at Shawneetown was. at
that hour, 200. Mt. Vernon is but
thirty miles from ShawneetoWn
and the information on which the
estimate is based, is believed to be
reliable.
The operator stated that the
company's wires to the stricken
city failed soon after q o'clock in
the afternoon. At that hour it was
known that the dam was giving
way, but it was not thought it
would go to pieces quickly enough
to cause loss of life. By s o'clock
it was known in Mt. Vernon that
many people had been drowned,
the estimate then being one hun,
dred.
A relief boat bearing food blan-
kets and surgeons was started down
the river and was expected to reach
Shawneetown before morning.
Gradually the reports of loss of life
increased the estimates, stories COM
ing from various points near the
scene of the flood, showing clearly
that the disaster was far more seri-
Gus than at first believed.
People from Mt. Vernon and the
surrounding country besieged the
telephones and telegraph Office,
frantic for tidings from relatives
and friends in the flooded town.
No attempt at an accurate list of
thosc lost was possible, however,
and the crowds stood all night be-
fore the bulletin boards on which
were posted the meager reports
being received.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
When Conditions of Bond Are Vic
lated.

lated.
Charleston, w. Va, April A.
Judge Brannon. of the supreme
court of appeals, has handed down
a decision in the Nutter liquor case
that is lar reaching, and which
has caused much comment in legal
circles. 1t practically settles a
question that has worried the law
yers for three years regarding the
liability of bondsmen on liquor Ii
censes of fines and the principal
when the conditions and require
ments of the bonds are violated.
William E. Nutter, of Charles
ton, secured a liquor license from
the county court, with Ben Baer
and Fred Gardner as sureties on the
bond of $500. The conditions of
the license and bond were, as in all
cases, a prohibition of selling to
habitual drunkards, minors or sell
ing on Sunday. 1t seems that
Nutter did not observe the condi-
tons, but violated them, and was
convicted in several courts for sell
ing to minors. When the sheriff
attempted to collect the fines and
costs on a writ of feri facias, it was
found that there was no property
from which the fines and costs
could be recovered, ard the writ
was returned not satisfied.
The state, through A. c. Blair,
the prosecuting attorney at that
time, decided that the defendant
had not kept the condition of the
bond, and Nutter and his surities
were liable to the sum of $500,
the amount of the bond. The cir
cult court ruled against the state,
and the appeal to the supreme
court reverses the judgment of the
lower court, over-rules the de-
murrer, and remands the case for
further proceedings.
The syllabus of the opinion is
piven as follows: "a bond piven
to obtain license to sell liquors I'M
der section 22, schapter 80 of the
code, conditioned as therein directed
buds its obtainers to pay fines and
costs and costs recovered by the
State on indictment for acts violat-
ing its conditions. J."
This holds the bondsmen on all
liquor licenses liable for the fines
resulting from violation.
