How was this town named? Who
named it? These two questions admit
of much dispute. A tradition says thai
way before the revolution, ~hereabout

parties and such like affairs. There

Fun, hilarious fun, and plenty of it,
good cheer and a good time for all con-
cerned were the features of last even
ing's social session of the Wheeling
Lodge, No. %, B. P. o. Elks, held in
their extensive lodge rooms in the
Rogers block, at 1121 Main street.
Momus, ably assisted by the members,
reigned unrestrained. Bacchus was
also present, but was compelled to be
satisfied with a back seat.
Gathered round the festal board,
~groaning under the weight of all man
ner of good cheer, all cares and sor-
rows were chased away to join the dim,
hazy past by the pleasures of the mo-
ment. Here the newly received mem
bers are made to feel at home, not
withstanding the fact that they are
made the butt of much good natured
chaff, which can only be taken in the
same spirit with which it is given.
And so on into the night joy was I'M
confined, and with each fieeting hour
the fun waxed merrier than before the
swift approaching of the day recalled
the jewellers to the fact that sleep is
an important factor of this mortal
life.
The full Opera House Orchestra

Next in order was the Presentation
to New Members" The presentations
were made by Secretary Bernie Hand
Ian. Harry Adams, the popular head
clerk at the Windsor, was among the
new members. Inasmuch as Mr.. Adams
is in the hotel business the Secretary
announced that the lodge had deemed
it right and appropriate that Mr..
Adams present should be in keeping
| with his business. He therefore took
great pleasure in presenting Brother
Adams with a day register. Brother
Adams received the large fiat box, and
in it after much unpacking to insure
the preservation of it, was found a
copy of the Wheeling Register. Brother
Adams, however, arose equal to the
situation.

FACTORY ACCIDENTS.
One Man Caught in Betting Another
Burned.

O"O IA -
Burned.
Yesterday morning, Lisle Carr, a
| young married nan of M~oundsville, and
employed at the cotton weaving mills
at that place, had an almost miracul-
Gus escape from instant death. He was
engaged in making some repairs to the
shafting which is suspended over the
looms, and in some manner his cloth
ing was caught. Without a seconds
warning he was whirled about in the
betting, which at that time was MAX
ing about 125 revolutions per minute,
and in this way every stitch Of cloth
ing was torn from his body. The en-
gineer had to run about fifty feet to
stop the machinery, and before the I'M
fortunate man could be released from
his position he was SO badly bruised
that he was rendered unconscious.
Medical aid was soon summoned and
the two physicians, Drs. Steele and Nc
Cullough, found that only one rib was
broken, but it is likely that he is in
jured internally. How he escaped in
slant death is almost a miracle, and as
it is he will be lucky if he survives the
accident.
