ACCIDENT 81 BENW00D.

Il Po1Ander strnck 81 ~ Ehgfne And
BADLY Hurt Yesterday Morning.
Jacob Ozgah, q Polander, was badly
injured by an accident at Benwood
early yesterday morning. He was
walking along the B. & O. road. on his
way to his work at the Bogg's U coal
mines and as it was rather dark at the
time, he failed to observe an engine,
coming toward him at q lively rate OF
speed. As he was stepping to n side
of the track, he was struck by the en-
CINE and knocked down. He had his
fingers badly injured and received a
painful wound on his scalp. He was
rendered unconscious and was cared
for by some .workmen who came along
the road shortly after the accident.
DR.. Meyers was summoned and the un-
fortunate man was removed to Has
kins hospital. After receiving medi-
cal aid, he recovered considerably from
the shock of the accident. He had his
hands caught under the wheels of the
engine and it was found necessary to
amputate one of his left fingers, which
had been broken. His injuries, while
of a very painful nature, are not
thought to be serious. The man came
to Benwood about six weeks ago and
has been boarding at Mezky's place.
1t is considered that he had a narrow
escape from being killed.

Lord Roberts has gathered $4,000 men,

itary opinion in London, he purposes
turning the left of the Ma~gersfontein
lines near Jacobsdal. entering the
Free State, compelling Gen. Cronje to
raise the siege of Kimberley, and thus
making the first step toward Bloem-
fontein. Kimberley, twenty miles
away from the Modder river, is In sore
straits. Details of the December death
rate show that in a population of a.
900 whites and 10000 blacks, the NOR
tality was sixty whites and 1873 blacks
per thousand. The infantile death
rate was Gil per thousand among the

Meanwhile the bombardment by the

is believed in circles close to the wal
Office that he will move at once.

THE ANTITRUST CONFERENCE
-
Made Good Progress Yesterday-Res-
Olutions Committee MT Work.

lIIuS UOo0 y ACS0 -kA&9-
olutions Committee mt Work.
CHICAGO, February 12.-To-night
at the close of the first days proceed
ings OF the antitrust conference, call
ed by the National Antitrust League,
good progress had been made with the
set speeches, of which a dozen or more
were delivered.
The resolutions committee was busy
this afternoon and tonight, while the
main body of the delegates were list
ening to the speeches at Central Music
Hall.
A set of resolutions was formulated
by the committee covering the follow
ing points: Government ownership of
all railways and telegraph lines; the
abolition of all special privileges by
legislative enactments; placing on the
free list of all trust goods and direct
legislation by petition of the people.
The discussion in committee was
carried out ON these lines.
An amendment was offered for tax
alton of all franchises, but was voted
down on the ground that such action
would simply legalize special privi-
leges.
At to-night's session of the Commit
tee on Resolutions the single tax adj
vocates made a determined effort to
capture the organization but failed.
An amendment was presented asking
for legislation requiring owners of I'M
worked coal mines and oil wells to pay
a royalty to the government. The
committee adjourned TO meet at IL
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The report of the Resolution Com
mittee will be presented to the con-
ference tomorrow.
Many requests have been made to
extend the conference until Thursday
in order to give all the speakers who
have prepared papers an opportunity
to be herd. One hundred and two
speakers have asked for places on the
program but the managers have de-
cided that as it will be impossible to
accommodate all, 1t would be useless
TO continue the convention another
day.

Special to the Register.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., February H.
A sensational shooting affair occurred
in the village OF Hubbard last night, a
son attempting to kill his mother, and
the latter, in ~self-defense. shooting
her son inflicting wounds that will
prove fatal.
A cake walk was held in Hubbard
Saturday night, and owing to their rig
breaking down, several of the women
were compelled to stay over night.
Elmer Agae took one of the women to
the home of his mother. Mrs. Ed
ridge, his sister, objected to the wo-
men, and a quarrel ensued and the
couple finally left. Last night Agae
with a male companion called at the
home Of the FORMER again and in a
quarrel with his sister, knocked her
down. Before reaching the yard, his
mother inquired where his sister had
gone, and he announced:
I don't know or care. / am going
to kill you," and struck her a terrific
blow with his fist, following this up by
kicking the PROSTATE woman. Pull
ing a revolver from the folds of her
dress, believing her life was in dan
ger, the mother shot twice at the son.
Neither bullet took effect and as he
attempted to wrest the weapon from
her grasp. she quickly changed the
weapon to her left hand and fired
twice, one bullet striking him in the
right groin and the other in the leg.
Agae fell to the ground, ard was car
ried into the house, where his wounds
were dressed. Surgeons have little
hopes of his recovery.

DAVE SI-LLlTANIOST

Chicago. Dee 1.&BecauSe Of persist ent fouling Dave Sullivan of New York lost his fight with Ole Oiesen in the Illinois Athletic club last night After the first round. in which he had the worst of it, Sullivan resorted to choking and elboWing in the clinches despite the constant warnings of the referee to desist. Finally in the fourth round the New Workers unfair tac- tics became so fragrant that the referee was compelled to disaualify him and give the fight to Olsen.
 The fight. as far as it went, was d lively one. Olsen staggered Sullivan with two straight lefts to the jaw in the first three minutes and had COR siderably the best of il at the end of the round. No complaint could be made on Sullivan's work in this round. but in the second round he seemed de termined to rough it. At this style of fighting he outcla assed Olsen. anI at the end of the second round matters stood about even. Sullivan's behavior in the next round was worse than Ill the former. As soon as he would get in q clinch he would put his hands around Olsen's throat and hang on until the referee pried them apart Sullivan was cautioned for each offense and It was evident that he was making no effort to fight fair. He protested vigorously at the verdict, but il arafled him nothing.
