expressed any fears of his reelection.
Mr.. Evans said MIR. Dunn had been

it was attempted now to force him

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock, a
bad freight wreck occurred on the Bal
timore & ohIo's Wheeling Pittsburgh
division, almost within the city limits,
but fortunately without the loss OF life
or limb. The division was blockaded
for several hours on account Of the
wreck, no trains getting through until
$40 o'clock last night.
The scene Of the wreck was Just east
Of the peninsula tunnel, nearly oppo-
site Thompsons place, beyond Fulton.
The first section of freight train No. s..
from Pittsburgh to Wheeling, made up
of loaded coke cars, was brought to a
stop by reason Of shifting engine oc-
cupyIng the track short distance
ahead. Although the crew Of the
train were aware of the fact that there
were two sections of their train
behind them. one of which was only
thirty minutes behind at West Alexan-
der, no fagman was sent back to stop
the second section, and the result was
that in a few minutes thes econd sec
ton rounded the sharp curve around
the hillside and crashed Into the rear
end of the first section.
Engineer Hugh Mclaughlin, Fireman
H. t. underwoo and Front Brakeman
Kerr, of the second section, all of
whom were on the engine, jumped just
in time to avoid being involved in the
wreck. Underwood and Mclaughlin
received slight bruises, caused by the
violence of their fall on the cInders, but
Kerr was entirely unInjured. There
were no trainmen in the caboose Of
the first section at the time of the ac-
cident.
Locomotive No. $40, pulling the sec
ond section, received some hard knocks,
and was thrown OF the track. The
tender was thrown bodily up the hill
side into backyard. The caboose Of
the first section and car loaded with
coke were practically destroyed. The
coke cars Of the second section were
new steel cars, just made for the Bal
tlmore & Ohio Southwestern. and two
of them were damaged slightly.
A wrecklng crew was at once sent to
the scene of the wreck, and worked
steadily for several hours. The hard
est undertaking was the Strengthening
up of the locomotive and tender and
placing them on the track Finally
ut $40 o'clock last night, the track was
cleared and traffic resumed. In the
meantime, however. some ten or twelve
freight trains were held up on either
side of the track. and the two afternoon
passenger trains from Wheeling to Pitts
burgh were held here.

Hawk.

faithful service, desires the Intelligent
Ger to DO thing. which It cheeFfully
does. wllsaR was sent up from Hunt
ington for a tritiIng offense, and his
sentence was only for year. He wants
to say for the benefit Of the manage
ment, and basIng his statements on his
own experience. that the present man
agement of the prison is good and BEN
eficlal to the convicts, morally and in
other respects. The rules are humane
and they lncite prisoners to reform and
create in them ambitions OF the pest
character, providing, Of course, they
are intelligent and appreclative.
The religious advantages are beneh-
clal and many convlcts are impressed
with the services. II they do not re-
form them. they certainly soften their
natures There is good prison library
and the books have o moral tone. They
are much read. To use this colored
mans own language: These books,
most Of them, are good aids to self-edu-
cation, and learned great deal more
than / knew year ago. 1t was good
schooling for me, and needed It."
Wilson, like other discharged men
from the pen, desires II stated that Su-
perintendent Hawk makes a success OF
his administration because he takes an
interest in the personal welfare OF the
conVlcts, and sees that every man who
behaves himself and shows desire to
reform, or an inclination that way, is
given a reasonable chance. The music
at the prison is elevating and refining.
Wilson's appearance, manner and
earnestness OF conversation indicated
that he had received benefits from his
short imprisonment. He stated to the
Intelligencer reporter that he has now a
good place in Wheeling and proposes to
lead an honest life.

The food is good and 1t Is not the same

prisoners who have any appreciation
about them. / tell you what, friend,

There is no longer any doubt that the
West Virginia state fair will be the
largest and by long odds the best in the
history Of the association, and as each
day goes by, some new idea occurs to
those In charge that will add to the at
Effectiveness OF the exhibits and feat
ures. When the annual meeting OF the
stockholders was held 1t was determined
to offer higher prizes than ever before
for every department, and In nearly al
OF them special premiums have been of
fered. The result OF this Is an increase
OF entries and In every department en-
tries have already been made from all
parts OF the trl-state country, which
lnsures a larger and better exhibition
than had been hoped for by the most
enthusiastic protector.
The premiums offered this year aggre-
gate about $4,000. and this sum Is dl-
ided among the liGe stock, poultry, fruit
and vegetables, horticultural and fiori-
cultural. jellles, bread, cakes, dairy pro-
ducts, textile and arts educational

For some time It has been whispered
that wheeling would probably lose an

scale.
Efforts were made some time ago to
organize stock company to push the

wonderful instrument, which Is every

somehow conservative Wheeling would

At West Liberty yesterday a meeting
was to have been held to close up some
financial matters pertaining to the

nature Of a conference between Hon.
Harvey w. Harmar, representing the
state board OF regents, and the local
executive committee OF the school, but
owing to former member OF the conn
mittee, whose presence was desired, not
turning up until late IN the afternoon
and then minus the accounts wanted,
the meeting adjourned with the prom
Use that these accounts would be for
warded to Mr.. Harmar by Saturday.
The accounts at present are not as
straight as they should be, but It is ex-
pected the matter will be adjusted sat
isfactorily. The schools finances, ow-

of the Billiards that Wheeling be at
