INJURIES PROVED FATAL.
Rev r. j. miller suctunabs After Opera.
tion Thursday Afternoon.

Rev. @. j. Miller. of Hedeesville,
who was struck by helper on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Cherry
| Run Wednesday evening. as told in
Thursdays issue of The Evening
World died about 4 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon just after an amputation
had been performed in the hope Of
prolongIng his life.
Mr.. biiller never rallied from the
shock Of the accident. The loss of
blood before surgical aid reached him
was very great, and he was weakened
thereby to such an extent that every
effort of the physicians to bring about
stronger vitality was futile. Mr..
Miller knew his injuries were of the
Rravest nature, and that in all proba-
bility he would succumb in a few
hours, but he bore up bravelv and
told the physicians that he believed
he could Withstand the shock of the
amputatjon. He made splendid
fight for life. having even bandaged
the injured limb while lying on the
cinders near the track just after the
accident, and before physician could
reach him.
DIR. Myers and DR.. Henshaw, of this
city. performed the amputation. as
sisted by DIR. Ward, the family physi-
clan DR.. Butler aud DR.. Clay. All
the efforts of the physicians. however,
were unavailing, and the minister
died short time afterward.
Mr.. Miller was aged 80 wears, and
leaves wife and two daughters aged
IA and 10 years. He had been in
Hedgesville for a few veaas, and was
an earnest Christian gentleman. His
tragic death has been a source Of deem
regret to the entire community.
The funeral took place at Hedges
vile Saturday afternoon.

necessary improvements in the wood

ed for the services of carpenter have
already been engaged, and he will start
work as soon as the mechanics have
completed their work. The men yes
terday worked ON the striking part of
the clock, it having become verv
loose from not being used. For few
hours, thew kept the clock striking
very rapidlv. and some thought that
it had been started running. The
work will now be pushed until it has
been completed AMI then one of the
city's eve sores will be done away
with. 1t was a good move by the
council to order the clock repair ed,

COACH WOODRUFF
TO COACH ILLINI
Man Who Made Pennsylvania Team to
Succeed Holt.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-George Woodruff
goes to Illinois as head coach. This an
nouncement was made by the Illinois men
up here to meet Chicago in the track
games In the varsity gymnasium and
was well received by the alumni Of the
institution. Illinois has been hard after
q coach since Holt decided to quit and
left so abruptly that he did not witness
the last game between Illinois and Iowa
Thanksgiving day at Champaign. Walle
Mccormack. however, went to North
western with Butterworth, the eX-Chicago
manager.
Woodruff Is a Yale man and one Of the
players to win renown back in the days
OF Stage, Lamar, Of Princeton, and others.
He went to Pennsylvania, and his work
alone brought that state school on a
par with the old-time "big three'-Yale,
Harvard and Princeton-and forced rec
ognition that fl ally made the group
known as the 'big four" His new ideas
produced a wonderful offense known as
the guards back play, which ruled SUI
preme until Lewis, the colored center Of
Harvard put his mind to it and evolved a
defense that killed 1t, and Woodruff, too,
SO far as Eastern football is concerned.
Woodruff, during his long career at
Pennsylvania. did wonderful work in han
ding men. He was fortunate in having
high-class, material to work with, and
this, combined with his youthful en-
thusiastic work, put his to the top.

CHARLES MOTH THROWS
NORWEGIAN CHAMPION
Wrestler Nelson Wins Catch as Catch

Charles Moth, the Western champion,
won his match with o. M. Nelson, cham
p1on of Norway, at Century hall last
evening. The three falls won by Moth
We're at Graeco-Roman, the Germans
favorite style, While Nelson scored his
TWO falls at catch as catch-can. Moth
has never been defeated at Graeco- Roman
curing his long career on the mat, and
Nelson, who heretofore has always Wres-
tied at catch-as- catch-can style, has de-
feated some of the best foreign athletes.
He once wrestled five hours to a draw
with Beck Olson, the famous Swedish
wrestler.
Although Nelson appeared fat and fab
by. his work showed that he was in good
condition and he surprised the specta-
tors by his quickness and endurance. The
NOrWegian's weight was 280 pounds and
his opponents 1870. Moth was in fine
fettle, and despite the fact that he was
outweighed by 100 pounds, he went after
his opponent with determination. Be
cause Of his weight. probably, Nelson
was easily the aggressor in the catch as
catch-can bouts, and both of his falls
We're scored in less than five minutes
each. At Graeco- Roman Moth showed
greater knowledge of the game, and while
nearly fifteen minutes were required to
throw his man at one period and four
teen minutes at another time, he earned
the three falls fairly

WHY FRAUD ORDER
WAS WITHHELD
Evidence Failed to Satisfy Postoffice
Department.

WASHINGTON. d. G., Feb, II.
George A. Christiancy the act
ing assistant attorney general for
the postoft1ce department. speak
ing today regarding the case
of Arnold & Co., the st. Louis turf
investment concern which was before
the department some time ago, said a
fraud order was not issued after re-
ce1pt of the report of Postoffice Inspec-
tor Dice because the evidence presented
did not disclose any actual existing
fraud In the opinion of Assistant At
torney General Tyner.
Ryan & Co., of ST. Louis, also were
called upon in November last to show
cause why fraud order should not
be issued against them. The case was
referred to Inspector Dice at st. Louis.
who submitted a report recommending
that it be closed, but the department
was unable on the. face OF things to
then prove fraud existed, and under a
decision of the supreme court that was
necessary.
Mr.. Christiancy, however, expressed
the opinion that a law, declaring such
schemes fraudulent should be enacted
and said in a letter to member of
the senate he had suggested an amend
nent TO the existing law which would
include within its prohibitions the close
of betting schemes such as those under
consideration. which, are becoming very
numerous and Which, he adds, are OPP
Grated almost wholly by mail
When the case against Arnold & Co.
was closed Gen. Tyner wrote letter
addressed to the firm. stating the de-
partments action, but added that the
closing Of the case does not neces-
sarlly prevent the reopenIng of the
same and the taking Of sucn action
thereafter as may be necessary, If any
violation of the law should be brought
to its notice. The communication was
a formal one and in response to a let
ter from the firm asking what DISPOSE
ton had been made of their case
Mr.. Christiancy says there seems to
be very general public misunder-
