Seybold, which occurred at the family
residence, corner Water and Fortieth

his ailment was not serious enough
to confine him to his home. When
he went home from work last evening,
he complained of feeling worse than
usual, and Immediately retired. He
grew rapidly worse until death came
at the hour mentioned.
Mr.. Seybold was in the list year Of

Mr.. Seybold was cashier of the Bank

and in business and financial circles
was prominently and favorably known.
He first became connected with the
bank as far back as 1858 as stock
holder and official of the institution.
He served the bank in different capac-
tiles for 20 years as cashier, and at the
time of his death was president He was
one of the most Industrious and painstak-
ing bankers in the community, and to
these qualities, united to integrity of char

may be ascribed the rare degree of con-
fidence reposed in him by Wheeling S

PORTUGAL WITH BRITAIN.

English Troops May BE Transported
by Rail Over Portuguese Territory
in Africa.
LISBON, April 4.-The question Of
the transport of British troops across
Portuguese territory from Beira, Por-
tuguese East Africa, into Rhodesia,
having been brought up in the Cham
Der of Deputies. the foreign minister
Senior Beirao, made the following state
ment:
"The transport of British soldiers by
railroad from Beira to Umtali was re-
quested by Great Britain and consent
ed to by Portugal because the British
government thereby only exercised a
right recognized in the treaties be-
tween the two countries. The out
break of war has not abrogated these
treaties, which were concluded and
signed prior to the war by Portugal
in a spirit of loyalty. l have inform
ed the Transvaal of this resolution.
Portugal has Loyalty adhered to its
duties and neutrality, and it's resolu-
lions have been communicated to all
interested parties.
There occurred no more solemn &C.
casion than the present to declare
that the British Cabinet has maintain
ed with Portugal relations of cordial
ity and loyalty for which there is rea-
son for congratulation. Please God
that these good relations shall always
be maintained"

A. S. PARKS DEAD.
A Wen known Railroad Man Passed
Away at SteubenviIle.

The Steubenv.lle Gazette publishes the
following obituary Of a railroad man who
was known from one end of the Pen Han
die system to the other:
Mr.. Parks had been confined to his home
he experienced a very severe chill which
by Thursday had developed into pneumon-
ia, and this caused his death Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Parks was born IN Steubenville
September II; 1881, and was the son of the
late James Parks and Mary Shaw Parks.
His father was one of the most prominent
citizens of Steubenville 80 years ago, and
it was due largely to his efforts that the
right of way for the Steubenville & Indi-
ana railroad was secured, and he was at
terward a director of the road. A. S.
Parks was married to Harriet, daughter
of Preston Roberts, of Steubenville, on
November 80, 1854. OF his own family two
survive, George H. Parks, of Wheeling, a
brother, and Mrs. w. H. Lott, of Column
bus, a sister. Mr. Parks was first asso-
ciated with his father in the dry goods
business. Next he entered the office of
the Steubenville & Indiana road. In 1860
the freight department was separated
from the ticket. and Mr.. Parks put in
ton ever since. Mr.. Parks's term of SER
vice is not exceeded by any other known of
in the Pan Handle service. He has seen
the Pan Handle grow from the purely To-
cal Steubenville & Indiana road running
between Steubenv.lle and Newark, to its
present high standing.

Democratic Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Senator
Jones, Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, says that the
committee will take no action until
he has further information concern
ing what Kansas City proposes to do.
If it is true, as reported, that the
hall is to be rebuilt, there will be no
necessity for making other arrange
ments.
Senator Jines says that if the citi-
zens of Kansas City go at it in the
right way there is no reason why they
cannot complete the new building by
July 4.
Representative Clayton, of Alabama,
one of the members of the National
Democratic Committee. said that the
destruction of the convention hall in
Kansas City would necessitate a meet
ing of the committee. 1.-THE hail.
said he, was one of the cosiderations
which induced the committee to select
Kansas City. The committee will, of
course, desire to know whether the
agreement to furnish hall can be full
filled by the people of Kansas City,
and the representatives of that city
will, / have no doubt, be equally anx-
ious to inform the committee what
they can do to accommodate the con-
yention."

ceived the audacious plan of, attempt
ing to invest Lord Roberts at Bloom
fontein, or at least, to endeavor to de-
lay his northward advance by harras-
sing the British lines of communica-
ton.
On his side, Lord Roberts is concen-
trating his forces and preparing to
take every advantage of the bold but
risky tactics of the enemy. He is not
likely to strike at any Of their forces
until he is certain or delivering a
crushing blow.
The situation, in the absence OF any
official dispatches from Lord Roberts
is both mystifying and interesting.
There is little doubt that Lord Rob-
erts is hampered by the necessity for
remounts and transport and the loss
Of the convoy guns and all OF Col
Broadwood's baggage was a serious
matter. The Beers are now trusting
to what they believe to be their SUI
perior mobility.
The special correspondents at the
front are now denouncing Lord Rob-
ert's policy of leniency toward the
Free Staters and are calling for an
abandonment of that policy.

PITTSBURG MINERS STRIKE.
The Fuel Famine Has Already Caus-

featuring Plants.

featuring Plants.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 4.-There
was a slight increase in the coal ship
ments from the mines to-day, indicat-
ing that a few more miners had re-
turned to work. The miners officials
are working hard to induce the strik-
ers to comply with the terms of the
Indianapolis agreement
The dissatisfaction is so widespread,
however, that general convention will
likely be called for next week, and the
strike either officially declared on or
off. AS it is now the strike is unau-
thorized and is simply the elimination
of local trouble over the run-of-mine
standard and the day mems scale.
Practically every manufacturer
along the Monongahela valley is in
straits for fuel. This is perhaps the
first time in the history Of mining
troubles hereabouts that the manufac-
turers have been caught unawares, and
it is explained from the fact that the
scale settlement of the district two
weeks ago gave assurance that the
mines would work steadily.
The National Tube Works Company
and the Boston Iron and Steel Works,
at McKeesport, employing over 1000
men, have closed for the want of coal.
Many other mills in the vicinity of
Pittsburg are expected to be compelled
to suspend.
A conspicuous figure of the great
strike of 1897 is on the outskirts of the
Pittsburg district. Mrs. Mary Jones,
of Chicago, has had several meetings
advertised. but the men are reported
as holding aloof from her as an agi-
tator. For the men, it is claimed that
much of the trouble Is a misunder-
standing that mine superintendent
should be able to explain.

were being brought from Ohio to take
