regarded as a clear exposition of his free

closely without effort. He was listened to
attentively by his colleagues on both sides.

|MET A Shocking DEATH. |
JOHN MozINGO AsPHYxIATED
WHILE CLEANING AN OLD
WELL NEAR TRIADELPHIk
ON THE FARM OF HENRY INFER.
Was Sun0cated While Down in the
Well, and When His Body Was
Brought to the Surface Life Was
Extinct-A Son of Mr.. liner Was
Also overcome by the Foul Gas.

A very serious case Of asphyxiation
was reported yesterday morning from
the farm of Henry liner, half mile
east of Triadelphia. John Mozingc, a
laborer living in the town, was employ
ed by Mr.. liner. to clean out an old
well On his farm. He met death while
performing the work, and the sad af-
fair caused many expressions of sor-
row in Triadelphia, where the deceas-
ed was well known and held in high
esteem.
Shortly after nine o'clock, Mozingo,
with the assistance of several others,
lowered himself into the well. His
companions awaited some sign of life
fro mthe well, and receiving none be-
came alarmed for the safety of Mozin-
go. After calling to him and getting
no response, they arranged a sort of
graphing hook, which was lowered In
to the hole.
The prong became fastened in the
clothing OF the unfortunate man, and
in this way he was elevated to the sur
face. He was at once removed to the
residence of John Yeaster, with whom
he has made his home DR.. Shields, OF
Elm Grove, was summoned, but the
unfortunate man was beyond medical
aid. Everything that was possible
was done to revive him, without avail,
the physician expressing the opinion
that Mozingo's life was extinct before
he was taken from the well.
Mozingo was about So years of age
and was unmarried.
The effort to save ~-.e life of MoZin-
go almost cost the life of one of the
rescuing party. Henry, the son of VIM.
liner, upon whose farm the well is
located, tied a rope securely about his
waist and was lowered into the we'll
When he had almost reached the bot
tom. the party at the top of the well
were Mortified to find that he had been
overcome. He was hauled back to the
surface as quickly as possible, and con-
siderable work was required to bring
him back to consciousness.

A NATIONAL AFFAIR.
Representative of Many Clubs
Coming to Wheeling to Perfect q
National OrgRnization.

Oh Many SluDH
Coming to Wheeling to Perfect q
National Organization.
The following, taken from the To-
ledo News, will be welcome news to
the members of the popular o. w. L.
club of Wheeling:
For several years past Toledo's
young folks have repeatedly partaken
OF the cordial hospitality of a social
organization known as the o. w. L.
club, an organization made up of the
best and most popular young men in
the city. Their function have always
been OF the most pleasant and original
character, and have been looked for
ward to with the anticipation of a gen.
eral good time.
1T is interesting to learn that there
is an organization known as the o. w.
l.. club in many of the larger cities all
over the country, and all have the one
object, a general good time. There
has never been an organization of a
national character, hence there are 70
secrets but one, and that is, What does
Q. w. l.. stand for? Every club in ex-
istance has the same definition, and
they guard it jealousy. How it spread
from little organization by that name
in Adrian, Mich, was by the introduce
ton, or rather the initiation of some
travelling man who might happen to
strike the fancy of the Adrian Owls
and nine times out of ten, as soon as
the new member got back home he'd
organize club there. In this way the
CIlIh has SnTpa6 c1I0h iOnc
that a national organization is talked
OF, and looking to this end delegates
from nearly every Owl club in the
country will go to Wheeling, w. Va,
en- next Tuesday, August 18th, and
there consider the ACCESSIBILITY of Or
ganizing.
The local secretary. Mr.. Geo. c. Con-
verse, yesterday received a communi-
cation from Columbus, O., stating that
the club from that town was going to
Wheeling. He also received naas COM
nlunication from Dan Hanna, that
Cleveland was going and urging Toledo
tc join the party, and it has been de-
cided to do so. Mr.. Converse thinks
about thirty members will make the
trip, having arranged for low rate on
the Wheeling & Lake Erie. They leave
here Monday afternoon and spend two
nights in the stogie city"
From this it will be seen that much
may come of the ''floelsing" of the Owls
at Mozart Park next Tuesday. which,
by the way, promises to be the great
est in point OF attendance and fun ever
given by the o. W. L. club.

CONSOLIDATION IDEA
Is RidicuIed by Prominent Penn
sylvania Official.

The Intelligencer story about con-
solidation of railroad interests in the
use of the Terminal railway and sta
ton, was ridiculed by prominent Of
fetal of the Pennsylvania road who
talked to a Register reporter yesterday.
He admitted that there is a bare pos
sibility that the B. & o. might run
trains into the Terminal station, but
that no overtures had yet been made
to that end.
The story that the Pennsylvania
would run trains over the c. & P. to
avoid the use of the Pewiky, which is
leased by the Pennsylvania, was pro-
nounced an absurdity. The official re-
ferred to stated that in his opinion the
Pennsylvania will never abandon the
"Pewiky."
