ROBERT B. BURT DEAD.

Expired just After Ten O'Clock Inst
Night at His Island Residence.
The many friends of Robert B.. Burt
the well known Island druggist, were
shocked last evening at hearing of his
death, at his Island residence. Mr..
Burt, never of robust health. had beer
ill for three months past with a pull
monary complaint, but his case did not
become serious until about three weeks
ago, when complications gave cause for
anxiety. The last few days his condi-
ton became more serious, and last
night at five minutes after ten o'clock
death ended his sufferings.
MI. Burt was forty-four years Of age
and a native Of Wellsburg. He came
to Wheeling a quarter of a CEN
fury ago, and for nearly as long has
been an Island druggist, standing high
in his profession and having a very
wide circle of friends. He is survived
by his wife, nee Miss Ida Peterman.
daughter of H. C. Peterman. and two
children. The funeral ARRANGEMENTS
had not been made last night, but the
details will probably be announced to-
day.
Robert B. Burt was born at Wells
burg, July ], 1857, the son Of Samuel
w. and Elizabeth (Brown) Burt. de-
scendants Of pioneer families Of Brooke
county. The father was born at
Wellsburg in 1916 and died in 1859. He
was a steamboat pilot and, with his
brother, was extensively interested in
navigation on the upper Ohio. His
wife, mother of the subject of this
sketch, was a daughter Of Robert
Brown, and was born at Burgettstown,
Pa. in 1886. Her father conducted a
pottery at Wellsburg for half a century.
Robert Burt was raised and educated
at Wellsburg. and came to Wheeling
late in 1876. his first employment being
al a drug clerk for the late F. A. Brent
linger, on Market street, where he re-
manned three years. He then opened =
drug store On the Island. in connection
with Alexander Toung. and q year later
became : partner with the late Dr..
Logan. This store was purchased ~

WESTON, w. Va, May 29.-Fred Brink
man is indicted in the Lewis county cir
cult court for forgery. HIS case, contin-
ued from court to court for several terms,
Is first upon the docket of that court at
the June term. The case is regarded as
a serious one. 1t will be remembered that
he was indicted in the Federal court sew
eral years ago for a like offense touching
some pension papers, and by the nav
ment of a few thousand dollars the gov
accepted a compromise of the
case. At one time he was mayor of Wes-
ton. associated with our best people, and
was an officer in one of our lodges. While
mayor he was sued for false arrest. He
left here about two years ago in great
nanefa straits, There was considerable
politics involved in his Indictment and
many of his friends claim that he was be-
ing prosecuted.

= nearly prostrated ~ the shock.
Last evening It val found necessary to
place Mrs. Brinkman under the Doctors
care. She stated that she knew
Of nothing that would cause him
to commit suicide. unless his
mind was affected. He had al
ways been devoted to his family,
and of late had been in unusually ex-
cellent spirits. He was aflicted with .
nervous trouble that would cause him
to walk aimlessly about for hours, and
at times he would not know where he

attack of this kind, but, said his wife,
I think he fell and had no intentions OF
committing suicide.
Mr.. McFadden. Of the firm Of McFad-
den & Co., states that he saw Brink
man go into the water from the bridge
and he is of the opinion that he strug-
gled to save himself.
People that witnessed the tragedy
from the wharf say that Brinkman
made no attempt to grasp the cushion
thrown to him, and drifted below the
wharfboat before he sunk.
He was rather advanced in years

two girls. One of the girls works at

pines. He had acquired the property
on the South Side but recently.
Late last nightno trace of the body
had been found, and it is probable that
with the present current and force Of
water it will float down a considerable
distance before being found.

street, committed suicide by leaping in
to the river from the bow Of one OF the
boats of the yacht ferry, operating be-

the other passengers to save him, but
he refused to make the slightest effort
to save himself and was soon swept
down by the swift current and drowned.
Brinkman left home yesterday MORN
ing shortly after eve o'clock and in
formed his wife that he was going to
Bridgeport the first thing on business.
He seemed in excellent spirits. He
must have proceeded almost directly to
the wharf, for Randolph H%enthorne,

that shortly after eight O'Clock Brink

The boat in the meantime had maze
considerable progress and as it APP

Of the steel bridge, Henthorne told him
to come inside or else grip the hand
rails. He seemed about to obey, then
changed his mind as it were, braced
himself, and sprang far from the bow
OF the yacht into the swift current. a
cushion was thrown to him, which. if
he had grasped it would have held his
entire weight, but he made no effort to
ave himself. The boat was brought
about and turned down stream, but he
had sunk and all that was recovered
was his hat.
Other persons, who saw the act, claim
that Brinkman made a slight effort to
swim after he struck the water, but
that he 500 gave up and refused to
help save himself.
Henthorne stated that he knew
Brinkman, as he had frequently crossed
upon the boat, but yesterday he seemed

the boat and seemed absorbed In his

Mayor of Weston.
Brinkman was formerly mayor OF
Weston, W. Va, and at one time owned
much valuable property there, among
which was the Brinkman theatre. He
had bad luck. though, and lost the ma
Jority of his property by being burned
out on several occasions and having
little or no insurance. Towards the
last Of his term he was charged with
forgery by men, who were said to be
mis- political enemies and some months
ago he was indicted upon this charge.
This, it is thought, was the probable
cause of his committing suicide.
He came to this city from Weston
about two years ago, and for a time
after his arrival sold medicine. but lat
er engaged as a solicitor in the insur-
ance business, serving at various times,
with several different companies.
About a year ago he engaged with the
standard Fire Insurance Company, f.

worked with it up to the time Of his
death yesterday. Mr.. Bowie stated that
he worked ON commission and did q

Thecontrolof the two properties is vested
in hall dozen big railroad companies,
and the charter of the security company
under which they hold their stock was
granted in New Jersey, and its title is the

What We call the fredericksburg road.
for short, is To become n great highway

Trains OF the SeabOard Air Line and
OF the Atlantic Coast Line are now
handled 10y it, And very soon the South
ern Company and the chesapeake and
Ohio Company will be running trains
over it; but those of the former company
will run between Washington and Rich

from Old Point to " ashingtOn via Dos
well (HanOyer Junction. and will be a
special service, not interfering with other
trains.
In the course OF time we presume that
we'll see the fredericksburg road double
tracked, and without n doubt the pas
senger service between this city and
Washington will be improved and at
once. There will be many trains every
day. ahd the Richmond passenger will be
able to take his choice Of them.-Rich.
