the Benwood Junction yards last night.
He was run ever by yard engine, It IS
supposed, though the first intlmatiou
OF the accident came when n party O.
young men noticed his PROSTATE form
lying beside the main track.
The unfortunate man suffered dread
fully from his Injuries. One Of his legs
was almost several below the knee. 1t
hung by n thread. and Dr. Campbell cut
1t off with Il pair OF scissors. The other

gled loosely from the few connecting
lisaments. The sufferer was brought
to the city on Il freight train, and the
city ambulance removed him to the
North Wheeling hospital.
No one seems to know how Jones met
with the accident. but 1t Is probable
that he was walking on the track and
failed to notice the engine. He had
evidently lain on the ground for mn
hour or more. and 1t Is not certain

THEY WANT TO TELL

Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved Of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication Of their
statements for the benefit of other wo-
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25s Mcrrimac

THE INDUSTRIES.

From present indications It would APP
pear that the glass tableware combIna-
ton would be consummated In q very
short time. There Is every promise OF
success. The men who are at the head
OF the undertaking are all credited with
having rare business foresight and acu-
men, and It Is doubtful II they would go
In to any enterprise that was not OF an
absolutely. safe and promising charac-
ter. says the China, Glass and Pottery
Review. 1t was q difficult matter to
secure options on many Of the more
Important plants, particularly In the
Pennsylvania district. The firms had
not forgotten the experience OF the pot
teries, and although the glass combina-
ton was birthed and undertaken on
principles which were much more
agreeable from business standpoint
than the policy followed by the pottery
trust promoters, 1t was still hard for
them to be converted to the combina-
ton Idea. The firms mentioned as be-
Ing likely factors In the glass combine
are: Ten factories OF the United States
Glass Company; Brice, HIghbee &; Co.;
Brice Bros. Mount Pleasant: Clark
Bros. Ellwood City; California Glass
Co. California; Cooperative Flint Glass
Company, Beaver Falls; George Dun
can & Sons, Washington; Consolidated
Lamp and Glass Company: keystone
Tumbler Company. Rochester: Mckee &
Bros; Northwood Co.: Indiana Novelty
Glass Company; Rochester Tumbler
Company. Crystal Glass Company: West
Virginia Glass Company, Martins Fer
ry, Ohio.
In addition; there are numerous other
plants scattered throughout the coun-.
try who have either taken the matter
under consideration or who have given
their consent to enter the deal. Very
few objections have been raised, now
that the general plan OF the undertake
Ing has been divulged. It Is liberal In its
provisions and far-reaching In its eff
fect-a fact which could not but result
benefciaIly to those Interested It is
impossible at this time to detail the
plan In question. but In n general way 1t
can be said that provisions have been
made for even the very small manufac-
turers. They will be treated with as
much consideration as the largest firms
in the deal. and what the pottery trust
lacked In the matter OF confidence in its
constituents has been brought out here
as worthy object lesson.

There was general discussion OF the

A delegates motion that all local
unions affiliated with the assembly, and
others as well, meet at once and pass

and for financial aid. was passed unan-
imousiy.
Chairman Daniel Dllworth. OF the ma
tional unions executive board, made a
short address. He was here to listen
and to learn and had both listened and
learned. He took occasion to thank the
local press for It's fair treatment of the
questions involved in the strike.
A number of the'strikers present were
called upon to give their long-hour ex-
periences on the Wheeling road. One
said he worked thirteen hours and forty
minutes for twelve hours pay. He was
on Swing run, going on duty Mt 8
a. m. and retiring at midnight, with an
"off" interval. In the afternoon when

Wheeling. arriving at q. m.
1t was said the men operating the
Martins Ferry to Bellaire line of the
Wheeling company could not be brought
out. Only one man on that line would
consent to join the union.
President Tighe said there could be
no compromise of the contest-it was q
struggle for living wage and reason
able hours OF work. There could be
no such word as defeat In this fight;
victory would surely come to the men.
His remarks were received with enthu-
slasm.

SATURDAY EvENTFUL

J 7lF Partially Operated.

Tho Strike Went Into Efrcct--Hoad
Partially Operated.
The strike of the operators and con-
ductors Of the Wheeling Railway COM
pany. declared at 2:3O o'clock Saturday
morning. became effective at.once. This
action was so clearly foreshadowed by
events that came before that the COM
pany had made preparations to oper-
ate the cars With new men on Satur-
day. TIE effort was made and with
partial success.
About twenty outside men, who had
been housed at the Forty-cighth street
barns on Friday night. were put on the
cars at the usual hour in the morning
A number of cars were sent out, the
attempt to operate the road extending
to the city,, Bridgeport and Martins
Ferry lines. Owing to the fact that the
new men were not acquainted with the
routes there was no attempt to MAIN
tain schedule time.
The cars were lightly patronized, the
laborlns people to a unit declining to
ride. They walked to their work in
most cases. the strikers not getting out
their wagons In time for them. The SER
vice throughout the morning was not
regular. only few cars being run. and
in the afternoon there was anything but
an improvement.
During the morning there were In
stances OF obstruction of the cars by
crowds OF boys. At Thirty-third and
Chapline streets n car was run off the
track by the motorman taking the
curve too fast. At once a.crowd OF boys
surrounded the derailed car and stones
and sticks ;=ere thrown. The police
were called upon and officers went to
the scene OF the trouble. The crowd
was dispersed and the line rcopened.
At other places on the South Side OBJ
structlons were placed on the tracks
and traffic impede6. On Twenty-sev-
enth street car was bandoncd by its
crew and some boys pushed 1t up and
dowh the street. with the result that
a short circuit caused a fire, which the
fire department was called upon to ex-
tinguished. The car was badly dam
aged. Shortly before noon, on Market
street, above Eleventh, conductor was
thrown from the top Of his car BY n
small colored hoy pulling the trolley
pole lopc violently. He was not in
jurei.
In the afternoon several of the men
employed 1T the barns Joined the strike.
In the afternoon and evening some Of
the new men who had deserted the
company applied to the union for ad-
mission. but they were met by q re-
fusal. Later some Of them applied to
Mayor Sweeney for transportation out
OF the city, but this request the mayor
could rot grant. Some OF the men left
the city on the cross tie route and 9th
ers Went on freights.
In til: afternoon at $3.50 o'clock the
compluy suspended operations for the
day

the Wheeling lines Is usually very
heavy, SO thousands OF people must
have been inconvenienced by the failure
