CLARKSBURG, w. Va, January Is.
Usually when an operator sleeps at his
post, and it is discovered, it is in con-
nection with some frightful railway
horror, but William Browns nap, at
Pennington, on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, this morning. did not turn
out that way. Browne saved the lives
OF scores by going to sleep and failing
to give the clear track signal to the
New York flyer from Cincinnati and
st. Louis. Pennington is a passing
point for trains on the Baltimore &
Ohio branch, but no trains stop there
unless signaled to do so. The New
York Flyer passes a freight tram
there if both are on time, about a. m
This morning the freight got in on
time and took the siding. Operator
Browne set the block signal red so
that he could pull it white when En-
glneer Pat Flannery, of the Flyer
should whistle half a mile down the
straight track But Browne went to
sleep and the blast of Flannery's whis-
tie did not disturb him. Flannery
seeing the red block did not move,
put on the air and reversed his en-
CINE, so as to stop at the telegraph
office, expecting orders Instead, about
the time the heavy flyer began to slow
down. it sWerved off the main track
and hit the freight train. Flannery
was hurled through the air and alight-
ed hard enough to break two ribs. His
fireman escaped safely. The engine
was badly broken and one car OF the
freight demolished.
The brakeman had failed to close
the switch after the freight took the
siding. Had Browne been awake he
would have given the Flyer the clear
track signal for he knew nothing of
the open switch. and the Flyer would
have hit the freight going fifty miles
an hour.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 15.-The

Texas, is still flowing at a tremendous

egram to-day from John H. Galley,
his partner, stating that the well was
flowing steadily at the rate of $4,000
barrels a day, and no signs of weak

serious on account of the danger of
fire. The first sample of oil from the
great gusher reached Pittsburg to-
day 1t was only a small vial, but
sufficient to show its general charac-

lively and strongly impregnated with
sulphur, not unlike Lima oil. The

the price has been cut from $1.20 to

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va, January
15.-Mr. Frank J. Manning received
a telegram late yesterday evening an
nouncing the death of his son-in-law
Mr. Robert E. Lee Pryor, who COM
mitted suicide at Georges Hotel in In
dianapolis, yesterday morning. A lat
er dispatch stated ihat ne committed
the deed from grief over the death or
his young wife, which he alleged to
parties in the hotel occurred ten
months after their marriage, but this
is not correct, as his Wife is still liy-
ing and was on a visit to her parents
near this place when the sad event oc-
Cured.
Mrs. Pryor came here about Deem
Der l, and shortly afta" Mr.. Pryor
came and spent two weeks with her
family and left here on the 31St Of De-
cember to return 10 his home at East
Bank, Kanawha county, w. Va, where
he was engaged in operating a coal
mine of which he was the owner.
He stated to his vile that he would
return home by way Of Washington
over the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad.
He went to Washington, but instead
of going home by that route, he re-
turned over the B. & 0. and went to
Indianapolis, where he arrived on
January 5th. and remained there until
his death. At the time he left here, he
was suffering from an attack of grip
and had been treated for a week by a
physician. His long unexplained trav-
els led his wife and family to con-
clude that he was suffering from men
tai trouble, which caused him to i'm
agine that she was dead. and through
dependency he took relief in self-de-
Struction.
His married life was entirely happy
and he and his wife were almost in
separable, never being apart until her
visit home They were married in
January last.
1t is stated that he shot himself
through the right temple the ball
passing entirely through his head, and
when found, his wife's picture was on
the bureau. placed in such a position
rhat it would be reflected by the look
ing-glass when he was standing in
front.
By papers in his clothes the hotel
proprietor learned of his residence,
and telegraphed the news to his broth
er at East Bank, where his body will
be returned. Mrs. Pryor, who is the
daughter of Mr.. Manning, one of the
most prominent men of Jefferson
county, left last night for her home
at East Bank
During the period of his absence,
neither his wife nor his brother at his
home could learn anything of his
whereabouts, and she was seriously
alarmed. At his home it was suppos-
ed that he had been murdered, and
the people of East Bank We're about
organizing a searching party when
the news of his death came.

TOLEDO, Ohio, January 15.-There
was a narrow escape from a tragedy in
Perrysburg, due to the ffckleness of one
woman. A year ago Cora Waters,
eighteen years old, married Samuel
Easterwood, who is more than sixty
years old, and a veteran of the civil
war, drawing a liberal pension. The
course of their love was not smooth,
and last fall the wife secured a divorce,
and before leaving the court house was
married to a son of her eX-husband,
whom the boys call 'Ikey."
They had been married but month
or two when Cora's love for 'Ikey'
cooled, and she thought the father and
his pension more desirable. When he
drew his last installment she went
back to him, forsaking 'Ikey."
This angered the son and he told
his troubles 70 a number of his COM
panions, and filling up with liquor they
concluded to give the old man and
Cora a hazing. They went bravely to
the house where the envied couple were
in repose.

was refused. He then endeavored to
batter down the door, but it was too

she seized a shotgun and fired at her
