FALLING BRIDGE
Caused a Serious Freight Wreck and
Loss of Life on the c., l.. & w.
Yesterday.

Caused a Serious Freight Wreck and
Loss of Life on the c., l.. & w.
Yesterday.
a freight train on the c., l.. & w. was
crossing a bridge over the Tuscarawas
river, the bridge collapsed and twelve
freight cars were thrown into the
river. Luckily, the engine had crossed
over and was saved, as were several
cars that were not on the bridge. No
trainmen were on the cars, but two
tramps were on the Inflated cars, and
one was killed, and the other so seri-
ously injured that his recovery is not
expected. S. Deviney was the name
given by the injured man as the one
who was killed. w. Z. Ray, OF Alli-
ance, was the other and he stated both
were on their way to Wheeling.
A passenger train following soon
came up and the two men were placed
in the baggage car, and taken back TO
Strausburg. The passenger train used
the W. & l.. E. tracks connecting
again with their main line at Canal
Dover. Traffic was delayed about four
hours. The collapse of this bridge will
cause the c., l.. & w. much trouble,
as they are at present doing large
freight business, and it will require
a week to repair the damage. The
structure was one of the oldest on the
road being wood, and would have soon
been replaced by a steel structure.
The accident was certainly lucky
one as regards the loss of human life,
but is very costly to the railroad COM
panY.

The GROWING of the May Queen at

O'Connor, Vicar General of the Do
cese, Rev. J. T. Sullivan, Chaplain at
Mt de Chantal AMI several priests of
the Cathedral.
The young ladies entered the hall
to the music of the Opera House or
cheStra. After the coronation by the
Rt. Rev. P. j. Donahue, the queen AMI
her maids of honor assembled the throne
erected for the occasion, where an adj
dress in verse was made by one of
the graduates and responded to in gra-
cious terms by the Queen of the day.
A Spanish dance with castanets by
twelve young ladies was gracefully ex
ecuted, followed by a fancy dance by
two of the minims. The Maypole dance
took place on the spacious lawn in
front of the academy, and the twisting
and untwisting of the ribbons was
skillfully done by the twenty-four
young ladies engaged in it. Later
sumptuous repast was served in the Re-
fectory, which was tastefully decorat-
ed, after which there was dancing in
the Music hall until a late hour.

Political
Pointers.

The name of DR.. George S. West, OF
Sistersville, has lately been prominent
ly mentioned for the selection as a
delegate from this district to the ma
tional convention to be held in Kansas
City, and better man could not be
selected at the convention to be held
for that purpose. DR.. West mas been
a life long member of the party IN this
State and Tyler county, and ithere Is not
a harder worker. nor a man who has
done more good for his party The
First Congressional district is entitled
to three delegates in the national con-
vention, and it is but meet and proper
that Tyler county should have a repre-
sentative, as 1t has been a great many
years since a delegate, or even an al
ternate, was selected from that county
The gentleman whose name is mem
toned above has authorized the Regis
ter to make this announcement There
is another thing about DR.. West aside
from the fact that he is a hard party
worker, and that is that providing he
should receive the appointment as a
delegate to the convention, he will at
tend the big meeting and assist in Civ
ing the First district representation
such as it should be proud of.

The determination of the rejected
applicants not to give up the fight for
liquor licenses without a struggle, was
evidenced last night, when the appli-
cants appeared with counsel, and after
being refused ADMISSION to the execu-
tive session of the committee on petit
lions and remonstrances, crowded the
lobby OF the Second Branch Council
chamber. Several attorneys desired
hearing by the committee, but the
time before Council meeting was short,
and the committee decided to go into
executive session. The committee had
but two applications before it, which
had gone through the regular form,
Otto Fish and itch Wilkie.
The committee decided TO defer ac
ton upon these applications until City
Solicitor S. o. Boyce renders an opin-
ion. The opinion of the City Solicitor
is to be given in accordance with pre-
vious action by the committee. ap
proved by Council. 1t was decided co
grant no licenses unless applicants can
furnish a guarantee y the satisfaction
of Council and the City Solicitor, that
tney will comply with the provisions
of the city ordinances IN relation to
coffee house and ordinary licenses.
The opinion of the City Solicitor will
be awaited with interest. It is evident
from a glance over the situation, that
the opinion of the City Solicitor is the
one remaining hope OF the rejected APP
plicants.
The situation when Council adjourn
ed last night was virtually unchanged,
with the one exception noted above.
The committee on petitions ana re-
monstrances made no report to Coun-
Gil. Applications for transfer of
license were made as follows:
NJ Kelly to John H. Fendt, No. 1902
market street.
Frank Hennes to Gus Franzheim
No. 20 Tenth street.
John j. Sheekey to Thomas Halpin
No. 81 Twelfth street.
w. L. Schempf to Chas. T. Blanch-
ard, No. 81 Seventeenth street.
Thos. Mclaughlin to Rudolph
Brandt, No. 2601 Chapline street.
New applications for licenses were
read by the Clerk as follows:
H. l.. Wheat, No. 1901 Market street
Harding & Smith. No. 1916 Main
street.
G. A. Landmesser & Co.. No. 1O44
Market street.
Paul Biery No. 1892 Market street
w. O. Walker, No. 1928 Water
street.
Carenbauer & O'Malley, No. 2901
Main street.
James Robinson, No. 114S Water
street.
j. B. Wilkie, Nos. and 9 Sixteentn
street.
Joseph Barum, No. zoos Main street.
Valentine Leibold, No. 1130 Market
street.
All these petitions came up as new
business and were referred to the COM
mlCtee on petitions and Temonstrances.
The list embraces the rejected appli-
cants, as well as several who had not
before handed in their petitions, and
against whom no complaint had been
made. The latter class will be recon-
mended favorably without opposition.
Chairman Bradbury, of the commit
tee on petitions and remonstrances,
stated that the committee will be
called as soon as City Solicitor Boyce
is ready to submit his written opinion.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The COchise Copper Mining Company,
 Blsbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Coasolidated Mining company On the north. The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years. and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and Rmelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34, ,000, ,OOO pounds during the year 1898. and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over S2,0OO, ,0O0, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em. ploy for years, that the Queen mins now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment.
 Ia it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the coacussion has attracted marked attention,
 The original owners of tbase valu- able mines are local bds} mess men, well and f8Eorably known iu Gisbee and surrounding vicinity, au gre doing their utmost to make this enterprise 6 success in every respect The board Jl directors are original owners. and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and a linn tied number of shares are offered at twenty five c. per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted. The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the con- pany, or to any of our legally author. ized representatives,
