into the river from the new steel bridge
in the morning, and that the body had
been recovered at Moundsville by the

HUNGARIAN HURT.
Tried to Ride on a Train of Cars Con
tanning Taps.

A Hungarian employed at the Top
mill, whose name could not be learned,
met with serious accident last night,
and narrowly escaped fatal injury. A
train of six cars was conveying taps
from the Top mill blast furnace to the
fill which is being made for the
tracks of the Panhandle railroad.
While the train was passing Jona-
than's Ravine, the Hungarian ran out
from the rear of the saloon at that
point, and without realizing the ma
ture of contents of the cars, he reached
up and tried to get en- one of them.
The car dragged him, and the engin-
eer, realizing his predicament, stopped
the engine. The mans hand was
crushed, one leg Of his trousers was
torn off, and he was badly bruised.
His injuries were not of a serious IA
ture.

Joe Biski, a young foreigner, who
lives at No. 1904 Main street, was bad
ly hurt last night at 9:35 o'clock,
while riding on an up-bound street car
in Upper BenwoOd, almost opposite
the Drover's Home. He was standing
on the foot-boarl at the right hand
side of the car, and was struck by one
of the posts which are dangerously
close to the track at this point. Biski
received terrible blow on the head,
and was rendered unconscious for a
considerable time afterwards.
DR.. j. N. Alley, of the Emergency
Hospital, at Benwood, was called and
attended the man, who finally regain
ed consciousness. DR.. Alley stated that
ne was unable to detect any fracture
of the skull, but that the injured man
suffered from confusion of the brain.
The physician thought, however, his
patient would recover unless some I'M
expected developments occdr.
The accident happened at about the
same place, and in eaxctly the same
way that young Herbert Horkheimer,
son of Morris Horkheimer, was i'll
jured few weeks ago. 1t is remarka-
BILE that no more accidents have hap
pened, as it is dangerous to stand on
the foot-board at the right hand side
of the car when coming up below the
barn without coming in contact with
continued danger.

GOT A SCARE.

Waterman Nixon, of the old Hobbs
glass house, in the Eighth ward, got a
scare last night. He heard several
strangers go by the factory and over
heard them make some suspicious re-
marks. Later he imagined he heard
them in a large cave underneath the
factory and sent for couple of officers
to investigate. The officers did so and
searched the cave with lighted Ian
terms, but failed to discover any sus-
picious characters on the premises.

Rivermen in Pittsburg and elsewhere
are in happy frame of mind concern
ing the present stage of water. 1t is
the first barge water in ten weeks, and
it enables the Pittsburg river operators
to float to the southern market the coal
accumulations of that period. 1t ap-
pears that the news that there would
be coal stage, was discredited by
many persons in Pittsburg, some of
whom were caught mapping. AS a re-
suit, there was lively hustling on Sat
urday. There was considerable rivalry
for the honor of getting the first boat
below Davis Island dam. The distinc-
tion fell to the lot of the O'Neil COM
pany, whose steamer Little Dick was
the first through.
1t was estimated in Pittsburg Satur-
day night that the coal shipments on
the present rise will aggregate not less
than 100000 bushels. The rise also
enabled many boats to get back with
empties. They were sent to the pools,
and the mines will be placed in opera
ton this week for the purpose of fill
ing the empties for the next rise.
The advance boat Of the coal fleet in
passing Wheeling was the Dick Fulton,
which went past the wharf boat about
ten O'Clock in the morning. The pro-
cession continued all day and all night
and attracted many sight-seers to the
banks of the river. Following is a list
OF the towboats which passed down
yesterday, between the hours of 10 a.
m. and p. M:

HACKETT BAND TROUBLE.

The Hackett band trouble was again
aired The musical union presented
a communication in answer to the
Unions demand for an explanation why
a certain musician, whose name was
on the unfair list, was still permitted
to play in a union band. The musical
union asked that, as the steel workers
were the aggrieved parties, that the
case be reopened and testimony given
by the steel workers and Central
Union, with the proposition that the
case be submitted to President Shafer,
of the Amalgamated Steel Workers,
Association, for settlement, the losing
side to pay the costs. After some dis
cussiOn and after an appeal had been
taken, the communication was received
in proper form and the secretary in
structed to write again to the musical
union and notify them that the case
would not be reopened and that the
answer was not considered as a salts
factory explanation.
President Kunkle offered resolutions
of regret to the prospective departure
from Bellaire of Rev. H. S. Boyd, pas
tor of the U. P Church. The resolu
tions were unanimously adopted. They
heartily praised Rev. Boyd as true
and outspoken friend and advocate OF
organized labor and commended highly
his virtues as citizen and individual
and ability and service as minister.
As G. M. Culbertson, the former sec
rotary, was a delegate of the iron
moulders' union and had Withdrawn,
the position of secretary was declared
vacant. G.. II. Smith was appointed
by the chair to fill the unexpired term
of the former secretary. The Union
ordered few bills paid and adjourned
until the next regular meeting, two
weeks hence.
