TRAGEDY CAUSED BY POVERTY.
Man POisons His Wife, Two Children
and Himself

PLATTE CANON, Col, September 10
Walter Banes, his wife and two children
were found dead in their cabin at the upper
end of the canon yesterday. The bodies
showed 10 signs of violence. and the house
was undisturbed, leaving the impression
that the father had poisoned the rest and
then lain down to die.
The tragedy was probably due to the pow
erty of the family, as the father had been
out of work for some time, owing TO the
suspension of saw mill in the vicinity.
The bodies were all lying in one bed. A tin
cup at the side of the bed, showing dregs,
was the only indication of the course pur-
sued by the parent,

NEW W. s L. e. STATION
At Cleveland viii BE a Brick Structure
The Building Delayed.

At Cleveland VIII BE Brick Structure.
The Building Delayed.
Through a slight misunderstanding
with the city officials of Cleveland, o..
the erection of passenger station tor
the Wheeling aud Lake Erie there has
been delayed and the plans changed
materially. In fact, when the station
is put up now it will be much more
handsome structure than the company
first thought of building.
1t was the intention originally to
place on the site Of the present station
a frame depot. The tenants of the old
depot building were asked to prepare
TO move out the plans had been made,
and the contracts all but let for the
new station. When the railway Off
Gals went to the city for the building
permit it was found that the lot is IN
side the fire limits, and, therefore,
nothing but brick or stone structure
would be allowed. The officials of the
railroad were told by the city officials
that as long as the present station stood
no objection to it could be found, as 1t
was there before the fire limits reached
it, but as for building new f1ame
building tlrerN, thai was an entirely
different proposition.
Upon receiving this information the
Wheeling officials were visibly annoy
ed. They had been put to d great deal
of Inconvenience about the station al
ready, and did not care for more. #.
they decide to erect the station it will
be of brick and will be both LONGER and
higher than they intended. The lot on
which the station is to be erected is
about $50 feet in length and has some
thing like a mean depth Of eighty-hTe
feet. If they finally decide to put up
brick building there it will cover the
whole ground. 1t is said now that as a
result of the action Of the city officials
work will be postponed for an indefin-
tie period.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-10-21

The Ohio River railway, under its
present excellent and progressive man
agement, is not letting the grass grow
under its feet, if that smile may be
allowed. One of the most important
additions to its railway service yet in
augurated will occur on or about the
10th OF next month, This new service
is no less than the running of
through train from Pittsburg to Gin
cinnati, and the reverse, over its own
lines, excepting couple Of short
stretches. The run is to. be made in
about eleven and half or twelve
hours. At the start the schedule time
will be forty miles an hour, which will
be increased in the spring to forty-six
miles an hour, which will reduce the
time to about ten and half hours.
This flyer viii leave Pittsburg at 7:45
or o'clock in the morning. The run
to this city will occupy an hour aud
fifty-hye minutes, the train leaving here
at say 9 o'clock, Eastern time. tlt viii
supercede the train which now leaves
at o'clock, reaching Cincinnati short
ly after p. NJ, Central time. The new
route will be across the OHIO river via
Norfolk and Western bridge at Ken
ova, thence to Portsmouth, thence over
the Portsmouth, Cincinnati and Vir-
ginia road (Which line it has already
leased), to Batavia Junction, where it
will connect with the Panhandle and
the run finished into Cincinnati over
the Pennsylvania system.
This service is not in the nature OF
a competing train with the Pennsyl-
vania, whose terminals it intends to
utilize, but is intended simply to con-
troll its through passenger and freight
traffic, of which there is abundant evil
dence Of it's growing quantity. Trains
both ways will make close connection
with New York trains out of Pitts'burg,
as, for instance, the train from Gin
cinnati will reach Wheeling at p. m.
and land passengers in New York with
out change at a. m. the next day.
All the arrangements for putting
this service in operation at the time
stated above are completed, with the
exception of some details with the Nor
folk and Western people, and over
which the Ohio River officials do not
anticipate any hitch or delay
