LIN lbs TAKEN OFF.
A Serious Accident Occurred Near
Benwood Junction Last Night.
David Jones, of McMechen, the
Victim.

Last night some time before 1880
O'Clock, quite serious accident occur
red on the B. & o. railroad at a point
short distance north of Benwood
Junction, the victim of which was
David Jones, Of McMechen, who is en-
ployed at the B. 6 o. shops at the
Junction on day turn. Mr. Jones was
run over by train and had both his
limbs taken off. AS far as could be
learned, no one saw the accident, and
therefore it is not known just how it
happened
The exact time of the accident is not
known, but it was 1870 o'clock when
man, unknown to the. B. & o. officials
at the Junction, and who was proceed
Ing on his way south along the B. & 0.
road, found Mr.. Jones lying on one of
the side tracks, near the first switch
above the Junction, with the lower
parts of both his limbs mashed in a
frightful manner. The B. & o. officials
were Immediately notified of the dis
the Junction, and DR.. Dowler, of Nc
Mechen, was summoned at once. Later
the injured man was brought to this
city in cabOose, drawn by one of the
B. & 0. yard engines. After arriving
at the depot he was conveyed in the
ambulance to the North Wheeling hos
pital, where both his limbs were am
putated by DR.. Dowler. Of McMechen,
and Drs. Dickey and Campbell, of this
city. The left limb was taken off at
a point above the ankle, and the right
limb was taken off at the knee Mr..
Jones maintained consciousness after
the accident, Notwithstanding his great
suffering. At late hour the attending
physicians stated that the condition Of
the injured man was quite serious,
owing to the less of blood and the
shock of the accident.
Mr.. Jones is about forty-five years Of
age, and has a wife and five children,
all of whom are grown. He has been
in the employ of the B. & 0. company
for quite a while.

No passenger conveyances were rune
ming through Benwood yesterday, much
to the Inconvenience of travellers. It
was reported early in the day that no
conveyances were being run through
that city for the reason that the various
Wheeling teamsters were of the Opin-
ion that a license would be required for
trips through Benwo0d. Mayor Thomas
Sheppard last evening was interviewed
in regard to the report and stated that
no teamster would be asked to Gay a
license for running passenger convey
ances through Benwood
The strike already has begun to SER
iously effect various branches of bust
ness, and an early adjustment of the
present difference between the company
and the employees is sincerely wished
for by all who are in any way interest
ed in the matter. Since the Inaugural
tion of the strike the patronage of the
Bellaire-Benwood ferry las been cut
about L--.~ per cent, and the patronage
of the Moundsville and Benwood cleo
trio railway has been effected in a great
measure.

MAKING WONDERFUL PROGRESS.

LONDON. April 9.--The report of Baron
Cromer. the British agent and consul gen.
eral in Egypt, is looked upon as being a.
wonderful story Of progress and the tri-
umphs of administrative foresight and
military vigor. He advocates extending
the railroad from Khartoum through Abu-
Haraz TO Goedarif and Nassala to Suak.m.
and thus tap the territory about the Up
per Nile. which Sir Samuel Baker called
the granary of tie Soudan." Goedar.f is
the center of this grain producing region.
Lord Cromer says that hitherto grain at
Khartoum has at times been sold at fam
inc prices, while at Goedarif it can be had
in such quantities that it is unstable.
The railroad VIII change all this.
The British agent also makes a signifi-
cant remark that school statistics show
that French is dying cut as the language
of the middle classes and English has all
ready largely taken its place."

CUBAN MATTERS.
A Strike of Railway Employees Has
Caused a Suspension of Traffic.
Gomez Elected Commander in
Chief Of the Cuban Army.

HAVANA, April 9.-Secretary of Justice
Lanuza will probably not comply with the
request of Judge Ortiz, of the Guadalupe
district court Havana province, to prose
cute Gen. Ludlow, the military governor,
for interfering to prevent DIR. JoiIiffe and
Mr.. Barton, Americans, being kept incom-
municado, as provided by the Spanish
law"
If the matter is brought to an issue, the
question will be whether an American of
fetal has right to issue an order contra
ven:ng a Spanish law unless supported by
a decree of the governor general.
All railway communication from Havana
eastward is suspended because of the
strike of two hundred employees of the
United States railroads. 1t affects the
provinces of Matanzas and Santa Clara,
as well as the routes to Guanajay, prov
ince of Ptnar del Rio, and TO Batabano, on
the southern coast of Havana province,
where the steamships make their commu-
nication with Havana.
No freight, passengers, or even milk,
could be moved to-day.
To-day the Cuban Generals, who yester
day elected Gen. Gomez commander in
chief, were to notify him officially of their
action. This they had not done up to
seven O'Clock this evening, but it is re-
ported that he is to be waited upon by a
committee during the course of the even
ing. There are so many contradictory re-
ports as to their intentions and doings
that the fact of their accomplishing little
or nothing is beginning to discredit in ad-
vance whatever action they may ultimate
~ take which at the best VIII be merely
comforting an honorary distinction, as
Gen Brooke is preparing to handle the
payment of the Cuban army quite indie

INSTRUCTIONS TO UMPIREs.

Washington, April 9.-President
Young, of the National Base Ball
League, has issued the following:
To League Umpires:
Please note carefully the following
instructions for 1899:
Wear a neat blue flannel uniform.
2-Absolute honesty and sobriety is
demanded of every umpire.
3-Enforce the rules to the letter,
Just as they are written. Study to be
master of yourselves and you can bet
ter control others. 1t is not necessary
that you should hear every word that is
spoken by players in the heat of d
contest unles it is vulgar Oh insult
ing and directed to, or intended for
your ear or to be heard by others. In
that case do not hesitate a second to
do your duty.
No umpire can expect to hold his po-
sition unless he complies to the letter
with his instructions, and no umpire
need have any fear of losing his posi-
ton who complies with the same un-
less, after a fair trial, he is clearly in
competent.
4-Consider all assignments strict
ly confidential.
5-As soon as you reach any city,
let me know by first mail where you
are stopping.
6-Keep in close communication with
your hotel so as to receive a telegram
at the earliest possible moment, and,
in case of accident, to be able to jump
to some other city by first train.
You and your associate should study
the rules closely together and antici-
pate plays and help each other as
much as you possibly can, so as to re-
duce the chances for an error to the
minimum. When Mr.. ----- is
umpiring at first base and you have
doubt as to the ball being fair or
foul by reasons of it's closeness he is
In position to judge to a certainty
and should give you sign to guide
you in making an absolutely correct
decision. By working together in this
and many other ways, the chances for
making an error on the bases will be
very small. When the clubs are all
in the east, 1 will try and fix a DAY
for meeting of all the umpires with
view to correct understanding and
Interpretation of every rule and uni
form application.
Yours truly,
N E. YOUNG.
