A Spanish Bull Fight-WheeIing
People Departing for Their vaca-
tions-Strangers Visiting in the
City.

]. W. Boyer. of Sistersville, who is
making continental tour in company
with his wife and ]. H. Broadwater and
wife, writes very entertainingly of his
trip to Mr.. Thomas NJ. Darrah, of this
city, under date OF Venice, July 22nd
The party stopped at Gibraltar, and
drove six miles into Spain to witness
a bull fight. Onesbull fight, Mr.. Boyer
says, is all an American can stand.
They commence on the first Sunday in
July of each year, and are continued
for eight days. The American tourists
saw three horses, one bull, and one
man killed, and left. The spectators
went wild with Joy.
Mr.. Boyer regards Rome as the city
for sightseers. A month could be spent
very probably in ST. Peters church
alone. The tourists visited the ancient
palace, built $50 years before Christ,
and spent some time in the old Roman
city. They spent several days at
Naples and Pompeii, and went up on
Mt. Vesuvius. Mr.. Boyer notes the fact
that Venice has a population of 100000,
and is without a horse or carriage. A
band of 80 Italian musicians, on gon-
dola, anchored in front Of the hotel
where the Sistersville party is stopping,
plays each night

At half-past eight o'clock last night
William G. Wilkinson died at his
apartments at Moran's boarding house,
corner of Tenth and Main streets, in
the fifty-fifth year Of his age. His ILL
ness extended over long series of
years, and yet he was a familiar figure
about the city, being daily seen upon
the streets despite his delicate health.
For some time past he has been alb
sent from the city in search of that
health which was denied him here, but
he returned without improvement, and
at half.past. eight o'clock last night
the end came, peacefully and calmly.
The deceased was son of the late
Col. N. Wilkinson, and was a familiar
figure about the business portion of the
city for more than a generation. An
expert accountant, he was employed by
banking institutions, business houses,
individuals and upon occasions by the
city, and was recognized as an author
ity in all matters relating to statistics,
accounts and bookkeeping generally.
He was often called upon for examina-
lions in complicated cases, and his re-
ports for many years have covered the
most involved situations in both pri-
vate and public affairs.
Before him his father was an expert
and distinguished accountant as well as
a gallant soldier, and the subject of
this sketch, while never. in the army,
inherited his fathers genius for fig
ures and the calculation Of obstruse
business problems. His skill in un-
raveling knotty problems was well rec
ogniZed, and his death leaves blank
in his peculiar but important profess
sion which will be difficult to fill.
He is survived by his wife, but, we
believe, by no children. The time for
the funeral has not yet been announced,
but the details doubtless be made pub
Tic today.
Last night the funeral arrangements
were made. The funeral will take
place from the late residence of de-
ceased, corner Main and Tenth streets,
tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock.
The interment will be private at Green
wood cemetery.

Yesterday afternoon post norton ex-
animation was held over the body of
Robert s. Conwell, at 26o4 Moyston street.
by Doctors Megrail, Armbrecht and
Myers. Mr.. Conwell was recently in
jured at the Wheeling Park by being
run down by team driven by unknown
parties. The examination, which re-
CURED several hours. showed that the
skull had been broken on the left side
above the ear the fracture extending
below the base of the ear: also that
the brain had suffered a severe hemor-
rhage. large amount of blood being
found beneath the skull.
The inquest will be held this evening
at the office of Coroner Shultz, at 1880
o'clock. While a diligent search has
failed to bring to light any clue by which
the identity of the reckless drivers
might be established. 1t is believed that
the verdict of the coroner's jury will be
such as to cause the apprehension of the
parties, if the present investigation
proves successful.
