John Eichenberg, a well known man
about 90 years of age, whose home was
in the East End, met with an accident
about seven o'clock last evening which
resulted in his death a few hours later.
~Eichenberg had been engaged in
cleaning out a cellar somewhere on
Main or South street. He vas using a
w~heelbarrow and dumping the debris
into Wheeling creek, at a point in the
rear OF the Baer Grocery Company's
building. The point at which he dumped
the dirt is a high embankment, held up
by boards. Eichenberg was subject to
epiieptic fits, and it is believed that he
had an attack just when hi mad reached
the edge of the embankment.
In any event he fell over, going head
first into the creek. Several persons
saw the accident and spread the alarm.
Eichenberg's head and body were in
the water with his legs p~rotruding.
Among the first to arrive upon the
scene were Police Officers Driscoll and
Linden, who hurried down to the
waters endge and with great difficulty
succeeded in pulling the body of Eich-
enberg out of the creek and placing it
on the shore. A large crowd had col
lected by this time, and there was dan
DOR ne tho u,oiUbf ,,pop the hapL oouc-
ing it to cave in. 1t was with consid-
cradle trouble that the crowd was kept
back.
An effort was at first made to lift the
body up by means of a rope fastened
about the body, but this was abandoned
and a stretcher was secured. Eichen-
berg was breathing family, but had ar
ugly hole in his head and was evidently
very seriously injured.
Mayor Sweeney and other who were
present felt very fortunate is being en-
abled to order the removal of the body
to the City Hospital, as at present any
patient will be received at the institu-
ton upon their recommendation.
The body was taken to the hospital,
where Drs. r. NJ. McMillin, e. B. Plant
and Reed Baird made an examination
of Eichenberg's injuries. They found
that his skull was literally crushed in,
and they ~despaired. of saving his life.
He died about $40 O'Clock.
Arrangements for ~Eichenberg's fun
eral were not yet made last night.

A VIGOROUS T

Against Any Further Interference
With the City Government.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Kindly allow me space in your
paper to express a few views regarding
the handful of disappointed partisans
who are responsible for the abominable
condition Of affairs in this city at pres
ent, and whose past and present con-
duct is regarded as entirely reprehens-
ible by the general public, without re-
gard to political affiliations. Your cor
respondent has taken the trouble this
very day to consult quite a number of
the representative business men of
Wheeling, who, like myself, have hith-
erto voted the Republican ticket, and
invariably these gentlemen condemned,
in very emphatic language, the bravado
and cheek that is attempting further
proceedings in the mandamus matter,
to the annoyance and detriment of IL
citizens.
The taxpayers and public generally
in the beginning of this controversy,
keenly appreciates it's dllatorious eff
fects upon the interests of the city, but
have been very patient indeed until
now. Since an able and just Judge has
decided that the election by Council on
February 9th was entirely legal, the
fair-minded and conservative element
believes that should end the contro-
versy; but, regardless of Judge Her
vey's decision, and regardless of the
public interests, n certain man
and his little string of lackeys continue
to keep the city's business in a state of
confusion, greatly to the detriment of
the city and to the expense Of the peo-
pie.
Think of the disgraceful spectacle of
two rival street commissioners. with
two crews of men, one receiving his
authority from being elected by the
City Council, which election has been
decided legal by the Judge of the Cir
cult Court-the other receiving his au-
thority from a private citizen. Isn't
this an abominable state of affairs?
And yet it is the exact condition in
Wheeling to-day, and running along in
this manner the service is costing tax
payers more than double what it
should, and yet very little good is be-
ing done by the two a~ntagonistic crews.
The man responsible for this has been
very literally and kindly dealt with by
the citizens of this community in more
ways than one. | do not wish to par
ticularize; but they may be brought
forward under a continuation of the
disposition to ignore the wishes of the
people and the decision of the Court.
