DEATH.

Charles Tkeis. of No. 22S Sixteenth
street, whose demise occurred at the
North Wheeling hospital last Sunday
morning at 1850 O'Clock, and whose re-
mains were laid 20 rest in Peninsula
cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. died
from what is considered as being a
rather peculiar and very rare disease.
The case was diagnosed as "a torsion
of the spermatic cord" and owing 10
the singular circumstances under
which it developed, it is being literally
commented upon by various local ply
sicians. The following story Of the
case was learned last evening in an in
terview with DR. Edgar B. Plant, one
of the attending physicians;
On Sunday, July 10th, Mr.. Theis Was
sitting on a comparatively low bench
at the grave of his wife in Peninsula
cemetery, when the bench suddenly
broke and he fell backward, alightine
On the ground in a sprawling position,
two weeks later. when he felt pain in
his back over the right kidney, Dr..

Then the symptoms were Of Appendix
citis, with the exception CT the swell
ing in the right groin. and diagnosis
could not be clear % appendicitis.
Dir. Plant then called Or. Alderman
in consultation. and after making
thorough investigation, the two ply
sieians failed to determine the true
nature of the disease. The case was
left to develop until the next morning,
when a second examination was made
and it was diagnosed as "a torsion OF
the spermatic cord" Everything pos
sible was done TO lessen the in1ammae
ton, and on Friday morning following
1t was found that gangrene had set in.
He was immediately removed to the
hospital and there underwent success
fully an operation, which confirmed
the diagnosis. His system, however,
had absorbed the sceptie products, and
he died from the effects of the sceptic
infection,
The deceased was aged forty-nine
years and one month, and was black
smith by trade. He was In the employ
Of the Central Glass Company for
twenty-four successive years.

Slowly but msjestically the Olympis

ships followed, with the Chicago and

Quite an open space of water was left

The merchant marine and excursion
lists brought up the rear of the line,
which extended several miles up the
river.
Fifty police boats darted about here
and there keeping the course clear and
vessels in line.
1t was nearly 2 O'Clock when the
Olympis came abreast of the battery
and the acclaim of the populace be-
gan.
Dewey stood on the quster deck sur
rounded by his officers, while men
lined the rails, waving their caps in
answer to the cheers of the multitude.
So they passed up the river, receiv-
ing an ovation that would have turned

Right Arm Torn by
/ Bird Shot.
SUFFERED INTENSELY
Amputation May Not be Necessary
Mrs. We'll Was Reported to be
Doing Nicely This Morning.

A shocking accident by which well
known woman was seriously injured
occurred yesterday afternoon.
The victim of the catastrophe was
Mrs. Meyer We'll, of this city, whose
right arm was fearfully lscarated by
the discharge of a shot gun which was
in a buggys occupied by herself and
husband.
The accident occurred up near the
foot hills in the vicinity of Fort Bliss,
where Mr.. and Mrs. We'll went yester-
day to eat lunch in the opeu air and
with the intention of giving Mr.. We'll
opportunity to shoot quail. Birds
were not plentiful aud the couple
started homeward just about sundown.
Mrs. We'll was sitting in the buggy
and the gun was leaning beside her
against the seat. Mr.. We'll according
to one account wac getting In the bug
gy, or had already gotten in, when the
horse started suddenly and the gun
was discharged, almost the entire load
of mum Der shot striking and lodging
in Mrs. Wells right arm above the
elbow. Her husband had reached over
to grasp the fowling piece aod received
q few of the shot in his hand.
The injured woman was brought to
this city as quickly ss possible and
taken to the hospital, where she was
attended by Dire. Gallagher and Villas.
They were compelled to remove pOr-
tion of the shattered bone, but did not
consider immediate amputation neces-
sary.
This morning Mrs. We'll was report
ed doing nicely by DR.. Stephenson, who
was just from her bedside, and he said
that at least twenty-four hours must
elapse before the physicians could de-
termine whether or not amputatiOn is
necessary.
After being taken to the hospital
Mrs. We'll suffered intense pain from
the wound. The bird shot had riddled
the flesh above the elbow and shatter-
ed the bone. The gun wsoding and
powder burn also intensified the pain.
It was necessary to administer opiates
to relieve her.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Joe Pollard was driving near the
cemetery at about $50 O'Clock
last evening when he met Mr..
and Mrs. We'll coming toward town.
Mr.. We'll was almost wild with grief
and his horse was tagged out with
hard driving.
Mr.. Pollard offered to bring Mrs.
We'll to the city and his proposition
was accepted. While driving Mrs.
We'll to town she told him that she was
shot while she and her husband we're
on their return trip. Mr.. We'll
thought he saw q quail aud, refining
the horse, seized the gun. It was
instantly discharged and she was
