REAR END COLLISION
Between Freight Trains on the
Hempfeld Division of the b.. & O.
Delayed Trafns-A Landslide on
the Ohio River.

The delay in the arrival of the
morning trains from P~ittsburg over tho
Hempfield division of the B. & O.. and
the circulation Of a report concerning
an accident east of the city, caused
some uneasiness among friends of the
passengers.
The accident was a rear end collis-
ion between two freight trains, at
Vienna, three or four miles east of
West Alexander, Pa. 1t appears that
the front wheels of one Of the engines
were disabled, and the engine thrown
partly off the track. Although some of
the cars were damaged, the injury was
not of such a nature as to blockade the
road. A surprisingly long time was
required to get the engine righted, in
order to permit the passage of trains,
and all the regular passenger trains
were delayed. No person was injured.

Pittsburg excursionists, who intended
spending the day in Wheeling, arrived
in time to get supper, and board a train
to return home.
The afternoon train from the south,
over the Ohio River railroad. was delay
ed about a half hour by a landslide at
the "narrows," just below Mounds
vile. The dirt covered the track, but
it did not take long to clear the rails.
There were landslides at the same place
during the rain of several days ago.

She then illustrated how Lowry had
held Travis when he fired the fatal shot.
The fash from the revolver set fire to
travis vest, and she tried to put the
fame out. Travis was holding on to
the banister and just then Lowry ran
out of the room, and as he ran down
the steps fired another shot. Lowry
had his valise down stairs. The re-
mainder of her testimony was of not
much value, and related chiefly to the
going for the doctor and removing the
body from the house.
Mack Layne was the next witness. He
had boarded at Mrs. Burke's three
weeks, and had known Travis two
weeks. He. Layne, occupied a back
room. At the table he had heard Lowry
and Travis talking rather heatedly.
Later when he saw Travis he told him
to keep away from Lowry, as he had a
revolver, and further told him to keep
an eye ON him. In the evening he went
up to his room and had taken Off his
coat and placed it under his head to lie
down, when he heard Mrs. Burke cry
out for him not to shoot. He got up
and was putting on his rousers and
rushed in the room. where he saw
Lowry and Travis struggling Travis
fell on one knee and Lowry pulled him
across the floor and then drew the re-
volver and fired the TWO shots. He

A new BANK
Second Bank for Winfield to be
i'm Operation Soon.

For some time the proposition
of establishing another bank at
Winfield has been discussed by
our business men and capitalist
from other places. The banking
business here is an inviting busi-
ness and idle capital has tried to
get into the bank already in OPP
Grafton here, but there is not
room for others. so it has been
suggested that another bank be
organized. THE SENTINEL has
learned nothing definite for pub
lication, but has been assured
that another bank will be estab-
lished and in operation here
within the next few months.
A preliminary organization was
effected this week and $4,000. .Go
capital readily subscribed by
local capitalists, with assurance
that sufficient outside capital will
be Forthcoming to put the bank
in operation.
As stated, we have been given
nothing for publication beyond
the assurance that the bank is a
certainty in the near future, and
from the amount of capital
already subscribed and the
amount that can be secured from
elsewhere, we feel sure that the
bank will be opened soon. 1t
seems to be no trouble TO get up
enterprises here. But let them
come. We need all we can get,

SMALLPOXAT CANSVlLLE
The L0athsome Disease said to
Prevail Among Negroes.

Some excitement has been cre-
ated over the report of small pox
now prevailing among negroes
near Gansville in ward four of
this parish. Saturday request
was made by the people of that
ward to coroner j. j. Peters for
the appointment of a health
officer there to tlke charge of the
situation and manage the disease.
The request was made in the form
of petition, which was extensive
ly signe |, asking for the appoint
ment of DR.. Beck of Gansville.
The situation there is slil to be
growing serious and the disease
rapidly spreading. however, it is
only among the negroes, but it
is feared it will reach to the white
people.
Coroner Peters explained to the
petitioners that he has no authority
in such cases and that it
is the business of the Police Jury
to take steps to control such
things, and it is probable that the
Police jury will be called together
at once to investigate the matter
and take steps to cope with the
d sease.
How small pox started in that
community is not known, but 1T
is supposed it was brought
from near Ruston where 1t has
prevailed among negroes during
the past two months.

new BOTTLING WORKS.
Fourth Enterprise of this Nature
Headed for Winfield.

Some one has said that
when it rains it pours. This is
true of the bottling works prop
sition at Winfield. Last snm-
mer Mr.. Golf, from Gurdon,
Ark, moved his plant here and
manufactured carbonated drinks
during the summer months.
After he closed his plant for the
winter season some gentlemen
from Monroe and other points
organized. among themselves, a

went so far as to place an order
for 100000 worth bottles, ma
chinery. etc., but what has be-
come of their company we do
not know. Next came Mr.. Hun
ter. of Minden, La, and pur-
chased property here and will
put in an extensive bottling
works and will be ready for busi-
ness by early spring. Then Mr..
Z. III. Fletcher has done bought
small outfit and will make
drinks himself. He says he pre-
pared for this not knowing a
plant was here, but he will GO
ahead and put his plant in
operation. His will be bottling
works No. 3. Then Wednesday
of this week Mr.. ID. james, of
Junction City. Ark, was here.
secured suitable land and will
erect a bottling works, ice and
cold storage plant right at the
Arkansas Southern depot. He
proposes to put in good plant
and do a good sized business in
that line. This will be four
bottling works right here and if
this town and country don't have
plenty of stuff to quench thirst
we don't know why.
There are a great many people
who know a good thing when
they see it, hence, manufacturing
enterprises are coming to Winn-
field i'm punches. But let them
come. There will be business
enough for all of them. Dodson
is near enough by to patronize
our bottling works and that town
is an excellent consumer of the
products of such plants (the
lines man exceptedl) aud we
trust all our bottIers will get
plenty of business.
