A WRECK

On the Ohio River Road Near Benwood
Junction Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock there was a freight wreck on
the Ohio River road at point below
the B. & 0. bridge at Benwood. At
the time train No. SO, composed of
about forty-three box cars and gon-
dolas, was proceeding north and when
at turn in the track, one of the cars
broke down, causing number of the
cars to become derailed. Six box cars,
containing slaves and pick handles,
were thrown over the bank and badly
damaged. None of the trainmen were
injured. The wreck crew were sent to
the scene of the accident in due time
and the work of clearing the road for
traffic was found to be quite a task.
1t was reported that negro claimed
to have been in one of the box cars
before the wreck, and that compan-
ion, who was with him were missing.
1t was at first thought that the miss
ing negro might be under the debris.
At late hour last night it was re-
ported that the wreck crew had found
no trace of the negro in clearing away
the broken cars and contents and it
is not doubted that he also made his
escape to a point of safety before the
accident.

PANHANDLE COLLISION
Results In Severe Injury to Members of
Train Crews

Results In Severe Injury to Members of
Train Crews
A freight wreck on the Panhandle
road, opposite the Richland coal works,
about one mile above the city, resulted
in serious injuries to members OF the
train crews yesterday afternoon. 1t was
caused by a special freight train, south
bound, colliding with the rear end of
the yard engine, which was just back
ing out of the coal yards. Neither crew
appeared to notice the approach OF the
other until just before the crash came.
1t was then too late to avert the acct
dent or for the crews to save them
selves. Neither engine was running at
a very rapid rate Of speed but they
were going last enough to cause consid-
cradle damage to both engines.
The engineer of the special, George
Keats. and his fireman. John Davis.
sustained the most painful and serious
injuries. j. Shurz, conductor, had his
hands bruised and cut. but escaped
other injury. The two first mentionel
were brought down to the city end
driven in cab to the City Hospital,
where Dr.. Frank Hupp dressed their
wounds
Fireman Davis had two ribs broken,
chest internally injured, and may die.
Engineer Keats was badly cut about
the head and left hand, but his injuries
are not of a serious nature.

ONE OF OUR NEIGIIBORS,|

The average yield Of wheat varies
under different conditions. In some
years the average has been over thirty
bushels. Once. or twice II went a. low
as eighteen bushels. Al even the low
est average, with good prices there
are few industries that will give bet
ter profits. A late United States con-
sui. in one Of his reports Of harvest
time, states that the entire labor Of
the region was found to be totally in
adequate for the task before It The
wheat straw was so tall md stout and
90 heavily laden with grain that the
work Of reaping and sacking was ex-
tremely exhausting. Tee strength Of
the growing grain frequently broke the
reaping machines, and the utmost ex-
ertion OF strong men was required to
handle the great weight OF the sheayes.
But while wheat Is king In that re-
gion II Is by no means the only cereal
grown. The oat, barley and pea crops
are phenomenal. Oats yield all the
way from so to 90 bushels per acre.
In some cases they have been known to
exceed over one hundred. A delegate
who visited the country reports, "One
hundred bSsnels Of oats, and sixty
bushels Of barley per acre were COM
mon crops. In one case the oats stood
feet six inches high, the heads were
ave feet six inches long, and each chan
twelve inches long, and each chan
case contained, not one but three per
feet kernels"
Barley, as stated, yields enormous
ly. II Is sought after by brewers ev-
erywhere and It brings several cents
per bushel more than that grown in
other countries. Peas yield splendidly.
They are extremely free from bugs
and grubs. Used in fattsning hogs and
for other feed, they are superior In ev-
cry way to corn. The absence Of hog
cholera In this country Is attributed
by experts to the excellent feed, corn
not being used. Corn can, however, be
grown, but wheat pays so much bet
ter that but little attention Is given to
corn.
In roots and vegetables. II Is esti-
mated by all who have any knowledge
Of the matter in these products, this
region has no competitor. Ripe toma-
toes may be seen In profusion in the
middle Of September. They have been
known to ripen as early as the LIST OF
July. Displays Of roots, vegetables.
garden products are made at the agri-
cultural fairs that for size and quality
cannot be equaled at any Of the fairs
In the United States. An Ohio gentle
man visiting one Of these fairs said he
had never seen anything in Ohio TO equal
1t. Three cabbages together weighed
one hundred and twenty pounds.
These were as solid and fine grained as
though they had weighed but six
pounds apiece. Prize potatoes. he said
weighed four pounds each; those
weighing three were so plentiful that
they attracted little attention.
Beets, carrots, turnips. etc. also
