Changes on Nineveh Branch

The Delaware and Hudson Railroad
company yesterday paid the men on
the Nineveh branch. This included the
large number of men in the construc-
tion gangs which for some time have
been engaged in changing the grand
of the road beyond Nineveh.
Work is being carried on from Tus-
carora to Nineveh and the Windsor
and East Windsor grades are being en-
lirely done away. The change in the
grading will enable the company to car
~ a much heavier tonnage between
these points. Day and night gangs are
employed. and as a result the payroll
for the men on the branch is monthly
of large proportions. 1t is expected
that work on the grade will be finished
during the early spring.

DROWNED IN THE OHIO.
SAD SUICIDE OF A WELL KNOWN
YOUNG LADY OF MARTINS
FERRY.
JUMPED INTO THE RIVER
And Found Death Beneath the Waves
BODY Was Recovered Below the
Terminal Brfdge-Near Relatives
Distracted with Grfef-Arrange-
ments For the Burial.

Early yesterday morning Miss Mary
Phillips, a highly respected young lady
of Martins Ferry, committed suicide
by drowning herself in the river. The
body was discovered on the Ohio side
just below the bridge, by two boys,
Lester and Charles Williams. They
Immediately notified their father, who
brought the body ashore and notified
the city officials, who Immediately
communicated with Coroner Beetham,
of Bellaire. The coroner ordered the
body taken to w. L. Ncble's under
taking establishment, where an in
quest was held later. The evidence
showed that Miss Phillips had been
in poor health for some time, owing
to the care of her father and mother,
who died some months ago. She was
very attentive to them, and after their
death seemed to become respondent.
Her brother, who is a mill worker,
came home yesterday morning about
8 O'Clock, and his sister was then in
bed, so she must have committed the
rash act between that hour and day.
light.
The condition of the body showed
that she had not been in the water
long. Miss Phillips was a most estim
able young lady, and had host of
friends who are almost distracted.
Those who knew her liked her. and
while of a very modest demeanor she
always made friends. She was about
thirty years old. The funeral will take
place Saturday afternoon.

en- to jail and is Now Recovering.

Wilbur, better known as "Chippy"
Chapline, aged about 26 years. living
with his mother on Fifteenth street,
and prominent in local amateur box
ing circles, made a very determined
but unsuccessful effort yesterday about
noon, to climb the golden stairs via
the poison route. Chapline has been
employed in the Greek mill. He has
been drinking lately, it is said, and
dependency, brought on by dndulgilg
his appetite for liquor, is said to have
been the motive for the rash deed
DR.. E. B. Plant prevented Ohapline
from carrying out his purpose. He
had been called to attend Mrs. Chap
line and was in her room when girl
came in from an adjoining room, and
made a remark about Wilbur taking
something" which excited the suspic-
ions of the physician. He went out
into the other room, and discovered
the young man in the act of pouring
paris green into a tin cup. He sue
ceeded in getting the cup and poison
lTOlu uluI.
Chapline hid a paper, however which
contained arsenic, said to have been
purchased for use in preserving fruit,
and ne succeeded in swallowing half
of the contents before the physician
took it from him. 1t was subsequently,
learned that he swallowed a quantity
of sylicylic acid about fifteen minutes
earlier.
DIR. Plant secured a stomach pump,
and Chapline refused to allow him to
use it. He was determined to die. The
physician was compelled to cali assis-
tance, and it was found necessary to
buck and gag the would-be suicide be-
fore the contents of his stomach We're
pumped out.
Chapline was behaving badly, and
a message was sent to Chief OF Po-
lice Clemans. A little later officers
arrived, and Chapline was taken into
custody and removed to the county
jail. DR.. Plant attended Chapline at
the jail, and last night stated that e
patient was getting along very nicely,
and out of danger.
But for the prompt action taken by
the physician, Chapline would doubt
less have succeeded in carrying out
his rash purpose.
