having been blown outward a few feet
together. His limbs, from the knees
down, were torn and mutilated in
horrible manner, his face burned be-
yond recognition and life almost gone.
He was carried across the street to
the house of Henry Goth and expired
ten minutes later. Mr.. Meacham had
gotten up for some reason, doubtless
to stir up the fire according to his
| regular habit at this hour, and he was
evidently standing near the destruc-
tive agency, bat exactly what he was
doing no one can say. A pine
stick was firmly clutched in his right
hand.
Dr. Edward Hougen of Pittsville
got to the scene as quickly as horses
could deliver the call and bring him
back. For six hours he applied his
medical skill faithfully and diligently.
| When he departed from that sad and
sorrowing group in neighbors house,
now transformed into hospital, each
Of the suffering children was literally
| dressed in bandageS. On Sunday
afternoon DR.. Sweetman of Grand
Rapids joined the Pittsville physician
and seven hours were devoted by the
two in giving relief to the injured.
Little hopes are given for the recovery
of the oldest daughter and the two
year-old boy.
The REPORTER representative drove
over to the Meacham place Monday
afternoon. Small pieces of furniture
and three or four logs, still shoulder
ing, were all that was left to show the
site of the habitation. By assistance
of our kodak we are enabled to SUBJ
nit herewith a cut giving some slight
idea of what remains where once was
a dwelling. The picture was taken
looking south. To the left is the
pump, which was a few feet from the
corner of the house, then comes the
gate leading to the road. Buildings
in the background are the barn and
sheds. The mound to the right is the
root cellar, in front of it and in place
of the barrel stood the log cottage,
House and contents were blown to
the wind, completely demolished
For a distance of $50 feet in any
direction parts of the roof, shingles,
blocks of timber, boards shattered
into kindling wood are scattered over
the snow SO thick that you cannot
step between them. Here is the head
of the sewing machine, there the gun
barrel and farther away the gun stock;
here are parcels Of tinware, there lies
the old house cat stunned to death in
the explosion. OF dishware, clothing,
books, not trace is seen. 1t is hard
to conceive more complete destruction
to property, equally difficult to read
how any life was spared.
HANDLED DYNAMITE ALL HIS LIFE.
Lafayette Chandler Meacham was
born in Hanawa Falls, st. Lawrence
J county, New York state, nearly forty
six years ago. At the age of seven
: teen he came to the pinerieS Of Wood
county. During quarter of CEN
tury he has used dynamite for logging
purposes, clearing farms and opening
| roads. He felt right at home with the
| dangerous compound. When warned

DOMESTIC MARKETS.

WHEELING, September Il, 1sgJ.
The changes which are 10 be noted in
market quotations this week, are due TO
natural conditions. An exception is made
in the price of butterine, which has been
account of a combination of manufactur-
ers. Tomatoes are still coming in very
freely, and are being bought up by local
canning factories at the, uniform price OF
ten cents per b1Ishel. The damage 10 the
crop by the continued dry weather has
been offset by the beneficial effect of the
recent rains There has been no change
in the price of cereals and flour remains
firm at last weeks quotations. In the
live stock market there is a slight advance
N the price of hogs, due TO a scarcity this

ACCORDING TO THE BACHELOR

Matrimony pells martyrdom.
The more times a man falls in love
the surer he is he has no business TO be
in amy such place
Some people keep the Sabbath so holy
chat they don't work any for three days
before or three days after
When YOU forget to congratulate a
girl who is engaged she goes around
telling her best friends what terrible
blow il was 20 you.
1t is q curious thing that the same
woman who is content TO be in love
with one man is more than content to
have lot of men in love with her.
Two women in whom the same man
is interested may never be able TO de-
eide how much they like him, but they
don't have any trouble deciding how
much they don't like each other.-N.
