Special to the Register.

Charleston, W. Va, February 49,
Tomorrow, it is said, delegation of
Parkersburg citizens will come down to
help along the scheme for removing the
State Capital to that city, which had its
inception in public meeting Saturday
night.
They will offer. it is understood,
100000 and a free site for a public
building. In anticipation of their visit,
prominent citizens of Charleston en-
deavored to rush through both
branches tQ-day the bill appropriating
100000 for fire proof building for the
safe keeping of various documents and
records. 1t was passed in the Senate,
and under a suspension of the rules
was put on its second reading in the
House. 1t may go through the House
before the arrival Of the Wood county
boomers.
In the Senate, almost the entire after
noon was devoted to debate upon Sena-
tor Whitaker's bill to authorize fidelity
guarantee and assurance companies to
transact business in this State. The
feature which caused the contention
was the section requiring companies to
present certificates from the national
government that their bonds for gov
eminent that their bonds for govern
ment officials are acceptable. Several
Senators spoke favorable to the pres
ent law, which requires a deposit OF
$4,000 with the auditor. The bill will
meet with considerable opposition if it
ever becomes law.
In the House, Speaker Mckinney s
bill for the prevention of child labor,
was referred back to the labor COM
mittee This was a blow which was
hardly expected.
While the vote was being announced,
Mr. Connolly, of Ohio, received a tele-
gram from NJ. F. Tighe, president Of the
Ohio Valley Trades Assembly, stating
that he will come to Charleston to-
morrow. The bill has many earnest
friends among the Democratic mem
bers, and if it is defeated it will be only
after a stubborn fight.
The bill to appropriate $4,000 for the
West Virginia Humane Society also re-
ceived blow, which, however, will not
likely prove fatal
The Senate committee on roads and
internal navigation reported favorably
upon the bill to provide free foot pas
sage for Island citizens. Ohio county
members will all favor the present bill,
but whether or not they have sufficient
interest in the measure to rush it
through, is a matter which only the
future will determine. Both branches
have shown a disposition to take up
purely local bills out of their order, and
if the bridge bill does not pass, the fail
ure may be charged to the Indifferent
attitude of the members from Ohio
county. H. V. ARKLE.

Gives Tom Drubbing.
Several years ago when Sailor
Sharkey' was seaman on the Olym-
pia, he met with a defeat of which he
is actually proud to this day. There
was not one of the crew whom Tom
had not bested with the mitts. One
day Father Raney, formerly a resident
of Detroit, and then chaplain of the
boat, stepped into the seamen's mess
room, and there stood Sharkey and
another sailor, stripped to the buff,
with their suspenders for belts, big
six-ounce gloves on, slamming away
at each other for dear life.
Sharkey would drop his hands, let
his opponent hit him where and when
he chose, but when he Strengthened
out his arm and landed, the chairs and
everything else in the room would rat
tie. Father Raney stood and watched
them for some time before they no
ticed him, when both blushed and
started to withdraw from the room.
Don't stop on my account" said
the priest; Il enjoy that kind of sport
as web as any one. l guess I'll have
to put on the mitts with you some day,
Tom, and give you a few pointers.
Tom accepted the challenge, laughing,
and a few days later was somewhat
surprised when Father Raney asked
him if he was ready for that boxing
bout.
"You bet I am, father" said he, and
into the ship he went after the gloves
that had been nearly all over the world
When they had stripped for action,
nearly everybody on board was peer
ing over somebody else's shoulders to
see how Tom would handle the divine.
The ensign, who had been selected
as referee called "Shaked hands," and
they were at it.
There was look of pathetic sadness,
almost sorrow, on the sailors face as
he dropped a little tap ON the priests
breast, but when the chaplain count
cred on Toms nose it changed to sur
prise. Sharkey made another jab,
which was countered neatly, and re-
turned with a cut on the side of the
head that put him on his mettle.
Tom lunged about right and left and
tried all the tactics he knew, but Faith
er Raney met him at every point, and
thumped him almost at will. He met
the sailors rushes with a punch on the
nose, or singer in the ribs, until the
sailor acknowledged that he had more
than met his match.
Father Raney, before his enlistment,
was one of the best amateur athletes
in Michigan. He was with Dewey at
Manila.

Pittsburg, Pa, February 13.-The
South-bound Cleveland flyer on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad
which left Cleveland at Ills a. m.,
was wrecked this afternoon near
Fleming Park, opposite Davis Island.
The fireman was injured so that he
died and Aeventeen passengers were
badly injured.
A partial list of the dead and injur-
ed is as follows:
w. A. Campbell, fireman, found 1y-
6ng under the trucks of the baggage
car; died before medical aid could be
summoned.
John Totten, engineer painfully but
not fatally injured.
George Neese, baggagemaster, cut
about the head and arms; taken to the
hospital; will live.
James B. Yohe, a son of Supt. J. B.
Yohe, of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie,
badly cut about the head and face. He
was travelling in the parlor car with
his father.
Miss Mary Kelly, Youngstown, Ohio,
arms and neck badly injured.
H. C. Barr, New Castle, legs and
arms injured.
J. C. Cato, Alliquippa, hurt about the
back.
E. S. Hubbard, Hotel Henry, Pitts
burg, not badly injured.
- c. P. Wagner, New Castle, slightly
injured.
Samuel w. Armstrong, New Castle.
Caleb Welsh, conductor, McKees-
port, Pa.
The wreck was caused by broken
rail. The train was running at high
rate of speed required by the schedule
and the locomotive and several cars
were badly damaged.
When the news of the accident reach
ed this city, wrecking crew was sent
to the scene and physicians were sum-
moned from the nearby towns. The
injured were removed from the wreck
and given as prompt attention as the
circumstances would permit. Ambu-
lances were called from the Homeo-
'pathic, the Mercy and the West Penn
hospitals and were at the Smithfield
street station ready to receive the in
jured persons who were brought to
the station. The cold weather caused
much suffering to the injured and to
those who aided in their removal.
The train was composed of a bag
gage car, two day coaches and Pull
man parlor car All were vestibuled
cars and it was one of the crack trains
of the road. 1t is one of the fastest
trains in the country, and makes the
trip from Cleveland to Pittsburg in
three hours.
1t is presumed that the broken rail
was one CT the effects of the extreme
cold. This is the first accident of the
kind that has occurred in this part Of
the country since the cold weather be-
San.
The train left Cleveland at 11:1S a.
H. and ran on time to Youngstown.
AT that point two hours were lost and
the train ran on a siding near Fleming
Park to let another train pass. In
running off the switch the rail broke
and the locomotive was thrown from
the track and turned over on its side.
The tender ran on for several hundred
yards before the air brakes took effect
Cleveland, O., February 13.-Erie
railroad officials here state that the
train wrecked at Fleming Park was
not the Cleveland flyer, but train No
-, an accommodation, which left here
at $50 o'clock this morning. The
Pittsburg & Lake Erie trains run into
this city over the Erie tracks, connect
ing with the latter line at Youngstown,

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-Van Dyke
and Eaton Company.
"Other Peoples Money" will be seen
in the shape of a dramatic entertain
ment at the Opera House next Satur-
day, February 18th, matinee and night.
There are comedies and still more
comedies; in fact, it seems to be the
stock in trade in the managerial mind
in announcing his attraction to say
that his play is funny or a comedy, no
matter whether the play when seen
verifies these statements or not; but
in all the fields of dramatic offering
there are very few that can be said
to have been defined as an 18-karat
standing of excellence as comedy pro-
auctions. But it can truly be said OF
"Other Peoples Money" that it has at
tanned a reputation in the front rank
of excellence for it's merit alone; 9th
erwise it would not have been the re-
cipient of the endless econiums that
have been showered upon it by the
press of the country during the past
two years in which it has been con-
stantly played. The principal charac-
ter in the play is accounted for by the
strong personality and finished meth
DDS of Mr.. Hennessy Leroyle, an actor
whose work shows that he has care
fully studied the requirements of his
art. Mr.. Leroyle is surrounded by and
aided in his efforts at legitimate laugh
ter making by company of unusual
excellence, and we bespeak for this at
traction an audience of goodly proper
lions, for no entertainment will visit
lis the current season that more richly
deserves popular patronage.
