KILLED NEAR MOUNDsvILLE

Yesterday morning, while walking
along the B. & o. track. about three
miles east of Moundsville, James Fitz-
simmons, a Moundsville glassworker,
aged about thirtyfive years, was struck
by a train and instantly killed. The
danger signal was given by the engin-

the whistle or paid no attention to it
until too late.
The remains were taken to Mounds
vile. Deceased was we'll known in the
town where he lived, having resided
there for a number of years. He came
originally from Quaker City, Ohio. He
leaves a wife and one child. The body

There were several serious accidents
yesterday morning in this city and vi
cinity, two of which resulted in death,
while the third victim is badly injured.
F. Eberle, resident of Twenty ninth
street, east of McColloch, was instantly
killed about eleven o'clock, in front of
the Bloch tobacco works, by north
bound Ohio River railroad passenger
train.
The train was running at the rate of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour, when
the engineer saw two men on the track,
ahead of the train and walking to-
wards it. They were not together, but
one man was some little behind the
other, the one in the rear carrying a
broom and bottle. The danger signal
was sounded on the whistle. and the
man in front stepped off the track.
The rear man, however paid no atten-
ton to the rapidly approaching train,
although the whistle was sounded
twice more. and although the engineer
put on the air and reversed it was too
late, the unfortunate being struck and
knocked over the bank into the river.
The train was stopped as soon as pos
sible, and the body was rescued, but
life was extinct. The remains were put
on board and brought up to the station
at Eleventh street, where they were
later viewed by Coroner Schultze. At
the locality where the accident oc-
Cured, the first man, who had stepped
off the track, said he did not know the
victim, but an examination of the dead
mans clothing revealed the name "F.
Eberle" on his shirt. A gold watch and
several sums of money in various
pockets, were found on his person. The
remains were removed to Bertschey's
undertaking rooms.
The only evidenct taken by the Cor
oner was that of Superintendent Ellis,
of the Ohio River road, who happened
to be riding on the engine at the time
of the accident, and the facts disclosed
were as stated above. Deceased was
about fifty-five years of age, and leaves
several children, one of them married
and living on Twenty-ninth street. His
neck was broken, as a result of an in
jury under the right jaw, and his left
arm was also fractured near the Shout
der.

A number of repertoire companies
have appeared at the Grand Opera
House during the present season, but
it is a perfectly safe assertion that
none created a better impression on
kyan company, which will be on the
Ryan companw, which will be on the
boards for the entire week in high
class dramatic productions. Wife for
Wife" is a strong melodrama, but it is
inferior to Lost Paradise" From Sire
to Son." and other plays which Mr.
Ryan is presenting under heavy roy
atty. The play was we'll mounted and
was enacted by an excellent cast. Mr..
Ryan possesses face and figure which
admirably adapt him to heroic parts.
Miss Edith Fuller, who sustains oppo-
site female roles, is conceded to be
one of the very best actresses in roper
toire on the American stage. She is
beautiful, talented and versatile. The
duel scene in the third act was very
realistic bit of artistic work, and the
specialties after curtain drops were so
cleverly given as to call forth fire.
quent encores. The bill for tonight
will be THE Lost Paradise" which has
never before been presented here at
popular prices. The company carries
an entire set of special scenery and
effects for the rolling mill scene in the
second act. Specialties will be diff
ferent each night during the engage
ment.
During the performance at the
Grand last night, considerable annoy
ance was caused by a trio of leather
lunged youngsters who persisted in
their efforts to introduce leyity into
the most pathetic scenes. Mr.. Ryan's
announcement that babies will not be
admitted during the remainder of the
week, struck a popular chord, judging
by the applause it created.
At the Opera House last night
there was fair sized and very appre-
ciative audience to witness the pic
torial reproduction of the Passion
Play Of ODerammergau. 1t was a reve-
lation to many who had formed their
opinions of the play upon newspaper
and magazine articles. The vitascope
views were very realistic, and the audi
ence was not slow to manifest its APP
probation.
Digby Bell will be seen at the Opera
House Wednesday night in Mrs. Fran
ces Hodgson Burnett's new play, Joe
Hurst, Gentleman A more beautiful,
more romantic story could not well be
constructed. The love interest, with
out which no play has ever been sue
cessful, is all powerful. 1t is replete
with comedy, affording relaxation after
the more serious episodes. The lover
of melodrama and he who wants to see
actors "act' instead of merely giving
utterance to commentaries, Will find
in it moments of dramatic fervOr that
thrill, and the devotees of the modern
school Of dramatic writing will find
that these elements which. in the
hands Of an unskilled author, would
sink to the level of dime novel, have
been handled with such exquisite taste
and with touch so delicate as to re-
suit in what may be justly called "a bit
of literary lace"

DEMOCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY.

There would be no question about the pas
sage of the township and county bills in the
House If as large a part of the Democratic
members would support them as of Repub-
licans. Early in the session Mr.. Eichhorn
and other Democratic members declared
themselves in favor of the reform measures,
to which their party is as much pledged as
are the Republicans. Mr.. Eichhorn is the
leader of his party, and as such he could,
at least, show his good intentions by offer
ing some substitute which will show a
disposition on the part of himself and party
associates 10 make war upon a system
which all except a few taxeaters believe to
be defective. Instead of doing this, it is
given out by Democratic members that the
great majority of them have agreed to fight
the bills as they stand and to offer no ade-
quate substitute. But for the solid oppo-
stion of the Democratic side the opponents
of the measures would not have the slight
est chance of success Thus the Democrats
have practically made the opposition, and
the defeat of the measures, if they are de-
feated, will be the result of a combination
of all the Democrats and about one-fifth of
the Republicans. Thus they make the de-
feat party measure, and the Republicans
assisting them are for the time being, and
upon the most important measures Of the
session, Democrats.
Such is the case as 1t now seems to stand.
The minority of Republicans, by their lead
ers, are in close consultation with the Dem
ocrats. They predict what the Democrats
will do and avow their purpose to act with
them against three-fourths or four-fifths of
their own party.
1t is barely possible that the Democratic
leaders will see the position in which their
opposition to the bills drawn by Democrats
as well as Republicans puts them With
their Republican allies they become the ma
jority in the House upon all reform legisla-
ton, and as such cannot escape RESPONSE
bility,
