q question as TO whether or not the

some Pacific Coast owners. The case

The matter was brought before the

Wages and Cost of Living.

Ia Q communication sent some weefs
since to the State Department by the Uoited
States Consul at Lyons the question OF wages
In France and in the United States is
touched upon and some comparison is made
between the prices of necessities of lite in
the two countries. The statements made
and the facts presented are most enligbter-
ing.
"While wages are much lower here than
In the United States" says the consul, "the
cost OF living Is higher, II the quality and
quantity of food be considered" And then
be proceeds to give specific facts. Accord
ing to his figures, ordinary white sugar casts
from IL to 11H cents per pound In France,
good coffee from go to 90 cents per pound,
while fish ranges from 20 to 60 cents per
pound, and 80 on. The Injuries which are
enjoyed by the rich alone, such as the finer
silks, velvers, broadclOtbs and clothing
made to order, cost from 25 to so per cent.
less In France than In the United States
Here are few definite statements from
one who Is In position to know the facts
which are worthy of the attention of those
free-traders who try TO bolster up their rot
ten theory by claiming that, though our
protective tariff keeps wages high, the high
wages are more than neutralized by the
higher cost of living In this country. Their
claim has plausible look at first glance,
but the facts don't bear 1t out. OF especial
Importance are the above quoted facts to
American workingmeD, who, above all
others, profit from the system of high wages
and cheap living which prevails In this
country and the continuance of which is de-
nan dent on their votes

with Sheriff Names at the Jail. This
Ia the first time in the history of the
county where such precaution has
been taken with jury in criminal
case, except where the charge was
murder. Henry is charged with lar
ceny from the person and his pal, who
was accused of the same crime, was
convicted. This is the second trial,
the former jury disagreeing. There
was rumor to the effect that the 9th
er jury had been tempered with, and
to avoid any such difficulty this time,
the panel of jurors was not given out
until the last moment.

aid says:
Five persons dead and one severely
wounded, two engines and ten loaded
cars wrecked is the result of q mistake
Of train crew Monday afternoon be-
tween Petroleum and Volcano juno
ton on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
II was the old story of the engineer
being asleep at his post and mistaking
the first section of passing train for
the second. Thinking both had passed,
he pulled his train into the main track
and sped onward to what would seem
to have necessarily been his death.
The dead are: ]. B. Watkins, engi-
neer train No. SO, from Grafton; W..
w. Cunningham, fireman of No. SO, re-
Gently from the second division; M.
Courtney, of Parkersburg, brakeman
on No. 50; ]. T. Bailey, of Parkers-
burg, fireman on No. 81; ]. G. Bailey,
Kenawaha. brakeman on 81.
The injured: Davidson, of
Grafton, engineer on 81. burned and
cut and bruised will recover.
The Herald correspondent has just
returned from the scene of the wreck.
The scene was indescribable. All the
five men pinned under the wreck were
dead and only one of the bodies had
been found. He was j. G.. Bailey,

unacceptable and could only be iden-
titled by his watch, which stoppts at
LOS p. m. On account of the inacces-
sibility of the place where the wreck
occurred 1t was impossible to bring
the body to Parkersburg, and it will be
held at Petroleum until the trains get
through to-day.
The accident occurred in cut on a
curve on a heavy down grade and at
the end of bridge. That anyone was
saved at all is almost miracle. The
third section of No. 81 was on the sid
ing at Petroleum, with orders to wait
there till the second section of No. SO
passed east. Engineer Davidson, who
escaped with slight injuries, was the
engineer on No. 81 and went to sleep
on the siding.
When the first section went by he
thought it was the second section, and
started out on to the main track. His
fireman and forward brakeman, both
of whom were killed, must also have
been asleep, for they allowed him to
take the train out. The conductor of
the first SO, after he passed saw Da-
wilson pulling out and tried to wave
him to stop, but failed. The conduc-
tor of the fourth 81, seeing the third
section pull out, ran forward after it
as fast as possible, his engineer whist
ling down brakes, and the conductor
of the wrecked train ran over the tops
of the cars till he reached the next
car to the last one wrecked in his at
tempt to stop the engineer, but none
of them attracted his attention in
time.
Conductor Lang managed to jump
In time to save himself.
All passengers on the east and west
bound accommodations were trans
ferred at the wreck, but the fast trains
were sent around by Moundsville and
the Ohio River railroad.
Brakeman Leslie Davis, whose day
II was to go out on SO, owes his life to
the call boys failure to find him, and
Courtney was substituted and went to
his death
