Yesterday afternoon, shortly after
one o'clock, a slight wreck occurred at
point a short distance west of the
first tunnel west of Bellaire, on the b.
& O. railroad, which delayed traffic for
considerable length of time, much to
the inconvenience of travellers. At the
time mentioned the second section Of
freight train No. 28, east bound, was
moving slowly up the grade leading to
the tunnel, when the third section of
the same train, also east bound came
along at a fairly good rate of speed
and ran into the rear of the second
section. The caboose of the second sec
ton was considerably damaged and the
engine of the third section was derail-
ed by the force of the collision, and
turned around until its head pointed
almost directly to the south. Quite
luckily no one was hurt. A large force
of men were immediately put to work
to clear the track, but things were
not gotten into shape for traffic until
some time last night.

MEHEN'S STATEMENT.
Parkersburg, Feb. 4, Is

To the Editor of the Register
Sir:-In regard to arrest of Gordon,
Johnson and Albright and others of
their gang of brass thieves, l see by
your issue of yesterday that the police
force of Martins Ferry doesn't seem
to be pleased that my name is men
toned in the arrest. Now, Mr. Editor,
made no claim or statement in the
matter to any of the Wheeling papers,
and what appeared in them was given
by the officers there in Wheeling. The
warrants were sworn out by me before
Justice Rogers, of your city, several
months ago, long before the arrest
in Martins Ferry. | placed them in
the hands of Captain Bennett in hope
that we could catch the parties on this
side of the river, and save the State
and railroad company expense of get
ting a requisitiOn. In the meantime
one Of the parties, Gordon, was ar
rested by the chief of police of Bell
aire, who notified me. I went up there
to see him, and failing to find Johnson,
who was the leader of the gang, then
in Pittsburg, we turned him loose,
knowing we could get him any time;
also, Albright, who was living there.
The others were on the West Virginia
side near Sistersville The police of
Wheeling, not catching Johnson on
this side. it compelled them to apply
to Prosecuting Attorney Meyers, of
Ohio county, for requisitiOn. He got
the papers up and after some delay
they were granted by the authorities
at Charleston. Mr.. Meyers on receiv-
ing them sent them to the Governor of
Ohio, who sent them back for some
small correction. This done they were
sent back again to the Governor of
Ohio who granted them. In the mean
time the parties, Johnson, Gordon and
Albright, were arrested for some petty
stealing by the officers of Bridgeport
or Martins Ferry, tried before the
mayor of Martins Ferry and sent to
Jail for 50 and 60 days each. The au-
thorities of Wheeling notified me of
granting Of the requisition and its re-
turn to Wheeling. Capt. Bennett tel
ephoned to the police authorities of
Bridgeport to arrest Albright, who
had moved there from Bellaire Turn
ing the prisoner over to Constable
Morris, he brought him over and plac-
ed him in jail ] went that morning to
see the mayor of Martins Ferry in
order to get him to give me a release

HAD THE BRASS.
They Had "Copped" as Much as
1000 Pounds-A Statement from
Officer Mehen.

In the arrest of Johnson and Cor
don, the men suspected of being the
ringleaders in numerous thefts that
have been committed from time to
time in this section of the valley, the
authorities think they will be able
to restore a big lot of property to the
railroad companies that have suffered
losses. The field of operation was
from Wellsyille, o., to Point Pleasant,
W. Va, and special officer j. R. Mehen,
of the Ohio River railroad, who has
followed the case from its incipiency to
what appears to be a successful con-
clusiOn, has tabulated the property
stolen, which, in the aggregate, is
something enormous. The thieves had
the brass in fact and in figure. The
quantity of metal journals lost by the
several companies is as follows: Ohio
River, 1900 pounds; Panhandle, 700;
Wheeling & Lake Erie, 300 pounds;
Cleveland & Pittsburg, 600 pounds;
Kanawha and Michigan, 500; total
1000 pounds. All the metal was
shipped to one party at Cleveland I'M
der the name of Smith, Johnson & Co.
The drafts came back to a party in
Bellaire, who furnished the shipping
tags. The thefts covered a period of
eighteen months.
Since there has been some dissat-
isfactiOn from certain parties as to
who should be given credit for the
capture, the following statement from
tory, is appended:

SHATTUCK AND BRIGHAM

Columbus, O., May 30.-Tonight all the ters in full blast, In addition to Nash, Dougherty, A. w. Jones, Albert Douglas, Frank Durban, T. w. Hull, Robert Ne win, w. P. Orr and M. T. Smyser, the and J. H. Brigham, assistant secretary of agriculture, are being used today for gov ernor, the contesfit to be between Nash, Dougherty and Jones, with Shattuck en- tered as a local favorite for Cox, of Gin cinnati, until the latter knows where he will throw eighty-six votes.
 Brigham's candidacy is considered as a movement in the interest of Nash, while Kurtz, Bushnell, McKisson and other leaders of what is known as ''The Opposi- tion to Hanna,' have been In conference today, yet they have not announced their candidate even if they have decided on one They are said to be divided on Orr. Jones and Hull, with some tendency to- wards Dougherty, if Nash can not be beaten by any one else. The leaders say it Is Nash against the field with Dough- erty close second. The Anti-Saloor League of Ohio today issued a protest against A. W. Jones, but this is not the cause of '.the opposition failing to unite on him. While there is some betting on fayorites, yet with over a dozen candi- dates in the field there is as yet nothing upon which to base reliable forecast as te the nomination.

AZ WERE PAID YESTERDAY
Officers efuSe to Identity Them and
 Cause Annoyance.
VERY FEW OF THEM HAVE GuNs
Found That the Rolls Have Been Pad ded-One Captain Put Down Who Had Been Dead More Than
 Two Years.

Havana, May 3O.-Early this morning Colonel Randall, accompanied by Paymas- ter Moss, doctor and military escort with nearly $2OO,OOO. left by special train for Santiago de las Vegas, but owing to various delays the payment did not begin until this evening.
 Many of the applicants, of whom there were large numbers, were witout guns It was observed that the large proportion of them were from Mariana, from which point they were prevented from coming yesterday to Havana One man who had a Mauser rifle begged a ride on the spe- cial train carrying the pay car and was the first man to be paid. Not single officer would come forward to identify an applicant, fact which caused considerable annoyance and increasing delay. That the rolls are padded badly becomes more and more evident each day, and Colonel Ran dall says that from what he can learn every man, dead or alive, whoever served in the ranks of the insurgents appears on the lists Investigation has already shown that several officers gave certificates to men who had not guns. When Colonel Randall demanded the presence of these of hcers they refused to come forward.
 Padded the Rolls
 In one instance it was discovered that the name of a captain was enrolled, who to the certain knowledge of one of the Gu ban officials assisting the paymaster, had been dead for two years. It is generally believed by the officials making the dis bursements that the rolls were padded In the expectation that the commanders would have a personal hand in making the pay nntC nnn yfl1a NaIa eai7 he was glad the Americans were distrib- uting the funds themselves, as otherwise he would not have received more than s25
 The number paid today was about forty five but there are several applicants en- titled to payment who will receive it after identification,

CORNELL VICTORIOUS
In the Boat Race Against Pennsylvania
 Won by Half a Length.

Ithaca, N. T., May 30-The Cornell-Uni- versity of Pennsylvania boat race, which was postponed from the scheduled time of 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, was finally rowed at 7:3O o'clock this evening.
 At the word the Pennsylvanians had a slight advantage in catching the water first, and gained nearly lead of length. Cornell began to gain at the quarter mile, and at the mile had more than made up the loss at the beginning. Pennsylvania had lost about half length at the mile and quarter, and began to put effort into their work. Cornell's rowing did not vary and although Pennsylvania pushed the nose of her shell nearly even with the Ithacans at the mile and half, Cornell did not let out until about 300 yards of the finish. The men in the Cornell boat rowed a 33-stroke, while Pehnsylvania went up to S7. The Ithacans gained slight iy, and at the end won by fully hsf a length in Il minutes 26A seconds. Penn sylvania's time was 11:28.

 IS IMPROVING Refuses Invitations of a Social
 Nature. KING GEORGE Or GREECE Will be Called Upon by the Admiral at Athens-The Olympia Out of Dry Dock and Ready

KING GEORGE Or GREECE

Hong Kong, May 30.-Since his arrival here on May 23 on board his flagship, the United States cruiser Olympia, Admiral Dewey has improved ill health, but he still refuses all invitations of a ocial nature
 The admiral has also relinquished all refuses all invitations of social nature.
 The date of his departure for home is still uncertain, his intention being to remain here until he has thoroughly recuperated. The air of the high ground here is much cooler than it would be found at any place between Hong Kong and the Mediter- ranean sea.
 The programme for the Olympia's voy- age to the United States has not been definitely decided upon. It has been de- termined, however, to mak stop at Preaus, from which port Admiral Dewey will go to Athens to pay his respects to King George of Greece.
 The Olympia is being painted white in- stead of the dark slate color which was applied at the breaking out of the late war,
