AN INVESTIGATION.

James R. Neehan, Cf Parkersburg, the
Ohio River railroad detective, was at
Benwood yesterday investigating the
matter concerning the disorderly con-
duct of a crew Of boys at the Ohio
River station in that city last Monday
night, the details of which were ex-
clusively chrOnicled in the Register.
Detective Meehan stated yesterday that
warrants for the arrest of the leaders
of the disorderly delegation would be
sworn out. He further said that such
steps were being taken in order to rid
the station at Benwood entirely of a
certain class of boys who frequent it
for no other purpose than to create
disturbance.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Mice Started a Fire Which Burns a Child
in Its Cradle.

A fire which originated under very
peculiar circumstances and the result
of which was exceedingly distressing,
occurred Friday at the residence of
Harry Nelson, who lives on the Ohio
side of the river three miles from Sis
tersyille. The blaze began between
the ceiling and the floor at a spot
where there is a hole into with the
children had betimes dropped matches
and bits of paper. Above the apera-
ture was sitting a cradle in which was
sleeping Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson's two
year-old daughter Mable. The flames
flashed up and caught the bed clothing
and before the little one could be res
cued it was burned so that death en-
sued at o'clock yesterday morning.
The fire was put out before much dam
age was done to the building. 1t is
thought mice must have started the
blaze by gnawing a match, as no other
explanation is possible.
Mrs. Nelson is a daughter Of G. r.
Hissom, of No. 118 South Penn street,
Island, and a sister of DR.. S. X. His
som.
The funeral of the child occurs at
10 o'clock Monday.

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Excerc .
Surgical Operation, That Will Ger
tainly Cure ANY Form OF Piles

tainly Cure Any Form OF Piles.
The study of physicians, the ex-
periments of chemists, the loudly
advertised pretensions of quacks,
have been for years expended in
one direction; to find a pile cure
that will cure.
The results have been a number
of harmless, and in most cases use
less ointments, suppositories and
even internal remedies, which the
public have weighed in the balance
of experience and found wanting;
nearly all Of them give some relief,
but nothing approaching a radical
cure resulted from these prepara-
lions.
The remedy required is one that
Immediately stops the pain so Sc
we're in most cases of piles, and
then by contracting the small blood
vessels (capillaries) to their nor
NAL size, produces a radical cure by
reducing and finally absorbing the
tumors and healing the infamed,
raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such
remedy had been produced. but at
that time suppository was placed
upon the market, which mas since
proven itself to be the long sought
permanent cure for this common
and distressing trouble; it has rap
idly become famous throughout
the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists
under the name of the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because
its merit and safety have adver-
tised it wherever used. 1t has
been advertised by word of mouth,
from one sufferer to another; peo-
pie who had tried everything else,
even submitting to painful and
dangerous surgical operations with
out avail, finally have found that
piles may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically.
as the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold
for the nominal price of so cents
and $1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all
pain and at the same time contains
no cocaine, morphine or narcotics;
the acids and healing properties
contained in the remedy speedily
remove, cause a healthful, natural
contraction and absorption Of
tumors; it will cure any form of
rectal trouble except cancer and
advanced fistula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from
neglecting proper and timely treat
ment for piles.
AS above stated, can furnish
you with the Pyramid Pile Cure at
so cents for ordinary size or s1.0O
for large package.

during yesterday morning, but in the
afternoon, with a decided increase in
the number of people upon the streets,
there was marked Improvement, and
last night results and conditions were
still more satisfactory. EARLY in the
day very fine snow began to fall, and
kept up without intermission until late
last night, but the total deposit did not
exceed half an inch. 1t was enough,
coming on top of the icy sidewalks, to
make walking decidedly difficult, how
ever, and several falls were registered
but with no serious results.
Sleighing was a decided feature of last
night, the rising temperature permit
ting people to enjoy a sport which for
seasons beyond control, has fallen into
some disfavor in this city and vicinity
of late years. The roads are reported
in superb condition, and to-day many
rigs will doubtless be out. More snow
is promised for to-day, but if it don't
come there will be no regrets, for we
can get along very we'll on what we
have Apprehension as to what may be
the result of a sudden thaw continues
to some extent, but there is little use in
borrowing trouble on this score. A
gradual rise in the temperature extend
ing over several days may eliminate
IL 90 o@JA Al,
high river.
The street railways had particularly
hard time of it, yesterday. The finely
pulverized snow was continually getting
packed down over the rails by the
wagon traffic, and cars often proceeded
very slowly. At a number of points
men were stationed with shovels to keep
the tracks clear, but their efforts only
produced temporary relief. The run
ming of cars on the line on the Ohio
side was especially difficult, and it often
took two hours for passenger to go
from Bellaire to Bridgeport.
With the rise in the temperature
there is apt to be an increase in the
trouble with gas pipes from accumula
ton of frost, and this applies with
peculiar force to the Illuminating gas
pipes. A good many people have had
little or no gas for several days past,
but the employees of the works are do
ing what is possible to rectify matters.
The supply of fuel gas through the
pipes of the West Virginia Company
has at all times been adequate and sat
isfactory.
Railway trains were generally be-
hind time, yesterday, and there was
much suffering among train crews, par
ticularly freights, during Friday night.
No class of men will do more rejoicing
when warmer weather comes along.
The ice in the creeks must be from a
foot to a foot and half thick, and
some of the smaller streams are re-
ported as practically frozen solid.
When the ice comes cut of Wheeling
creek, particularly if there is a big body
of water behind it, there is apt to be
serious damage to some of the railway
bridges west of the stone bridge.

OTHER JUSTICE COURT ITEMS.

The case of State VS.. VIM. McGrana-
han on a peace warrant, on complaint
Of Jessie Mason, came UP before Justice
Fitzpatrick yesterday. The evidence
did not sustain the charge and the case
was dismissed.
Two search warrants were issued by
Justice Fitzpatrick yesterday, on prop
erty of people in Elm Grove, where
goods stolen from the Elm Grove Coal
Companys store was supposed to be
harbored. The warrants were served
by Contrable John Anderson, but none
of the stolen goods were found. The
authorities later secured several clues,
and the arrest of the guilty parties will
result soon.
