Will be Played at the Island Park
A Petition Circulated.
New Castle and Wheeling will cross
bats again this afternoon at the Is
land park, and big attendance is ex-
pected. The game will be called at
$3.50 o'clock. Skopec has been slated
to pitch for Wheeling, and this will
insure a good game from local stand
point. The management is DESTROYS
that all who attend will confine their
demonstrations of approval or disap-
proval to hand-clapping, and not in
dulge in shouting or noisy demonstra-
tons, for obvious reasons. 1t is de-
sired to demonstrate to the enemies of
Sunday base ball that the sport is not
in any sense as bad as it is pictured.
Property owners living in the neigh
borhood of the ball park have signed
petition asking the Chief of Police
to suppress the game to-day. What
action will be taken is problematical.

At Ky1e's Plumbing EstabIishment
Yesterday Mornfng-A Second
Blaze Caused by Breakage Of Gas
Pipes.
A fire broke out in the cellar OF
Kyle's plumbing establishment, No.
1155 Market street, yesterday morning
at 8:45. One of the employees went to
the cellar to light the gas and in doing
SO broke a match off, The lighted part
fell into bale of oakum and started
quite blaze. The fire department
soon extinguished the fame, but before
they succeeded in doing SO the heat
melted the connections on the meters of
both natural and Illuminating gases,
which was not noticed at the time. The
escaping gas soon filled the cellar and
reaching a burning jet caused an ex-
plosion, starting the fire again with ten
times it's former force 1t was again ex-
tinguished after hard work by the fire
department. The loss sustained by the
establishment will probably exceed
5000.

G. w. Currence Hanged Himself in
Martins Ferry Jail, but Rescued
by Officers Before Life was Ex-
~tinct.
c. w. Currence, who has been in the
Martins Ferry Jail for several days,
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses, and whose sanity has
been questioned by the police, made an
attempt yesterday afternoon to COM
nit suicide by hanging himself. He
was given hearing in the afternoon
and was fined ten dollars and costs and
ten days in jail. He plead guilty to
the charge. Between and 2::30 O'Clock
several of the police were in the iail
talking to Currence, as also was City
Clerk Ellis Lash. The prisoner SEEM
ed very nervous and said he would be
glad to get to st. Clairsville. The
officers stepped out of tee Jail and were
out not longer than three or four min
utes when Marshal Erwin opened the
door and was astonished to find the
man hanging from the top cell bar.
He was Immediately cut down and Drs.
Blackboard and Williams were called.
and after much work he was revived,
but at first it looked as if his life had
gone. City Clerk Lash secured a cot
and Marshal Erwin procured the neces-
sary medicine, and the police force on
hand did all they could for the man.
He had made moose from his shirt
sleeves and suspenders, and it was
strong enough to do the work. Later
when the man became better he stated
that he had been in the Weston asy-
lum in West Virginia, and was afraid
they would send him back. He also
said his mother and brother lived in
Elkins. w. Va. The doctors stated the
man was insane. Marshal Erwin took
him out to St. Clairsville last evening.
What will be done with him has not
yet been determined. The case is
rather a sad one, and doubtless the
man will again enter the asylum, where
he will be safe. While he was in Mar
tins Ferry he impersonated United
States marshal. postoffice inspector and
pension claim agent This throws him
liable for punishment by the United
States government.

A fatal accident occurred on the Pike
Division of the B. & O. road at Elm
Grove, five miles east of the city yes
terday evening at six o'clock A man
known at that place as William Rey-
nolds attempted to board a freight
train, going east, at the station. He
missed his footing on the car step and
was thrown to the track. In falling
the greater part of his body lay be-
tween the track and the station plat
form with only his legs lying across
the track. The wheels passed over
them, severing one at the ankle and
horribly crushing the other.
The injured man was picked up and
laid on the platform. He revived suffi-
GENTLY to ask that someone take his
statement. His request was complied
with. He stated that his real name
was not Reynolds. but Deeds, and that
his home was in Jefferson county, Pa
He stated that he was miner by
trade and had come to Elm Grove to
seek employment. He had only lived
there for a month or more. Several
people stated that Deeds had been
drinking and that fact is probably ac-
countable for the accident.
He was brought to this city on an
engine to the B. & o. station and re-
moved to the City Hospital in the am
bulance. Everything possible was
done to save his life, but all to no avail
Aside from other injuries he sustain
ed a severe bruise on the side of the
head. The shock of the accident and
the loss of blood entailed by the delay
in receiving surgical aid proved to Sc
we're and he succumbed at 11:40 p. m
No arrangements has as yet been
made for burial.
