This is a distinct innovation. inasmuch

1t II. however. In direct line with the
recorR-nc1da ton made -Jy President

call fer a seSoad conference, in the
course 81 which he suggested that provi-
sion should be made whereby all the
powers hat were not signatory TO the
acts Of the first conference should be-
conc adhering parties.
The communication that Baron Rosen
Is 30 make TO the representatives of the
South aEd Central American govern
ments is merely preliminary in charac-
ter X -, however, worded exactly like
the invitations which have been sent to
the several European governments. 1t
is simply an expression of the desire
or the Russian government to know
whether the governments to which the
communication Is addressed, would be
willing To take part in a second peace
conference at The Hague.
Roosevelt Consulted.

Roosevelt has been consulted and has
given his hearty acquiescence 20 the
project OF calling. the powers together

CARL SMITH CHARGED
WITH CRIME OF RAPE
.GIS AACS
DAM ACE
SUIT on

The trial of the $4,000 damage
suit brought BY J II. McIsaacs, ad
ninistrator Of George L. NIeIsaaes.
deceased, against the Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad Company, was begun
in United States court Thursday
morning with Judge 4. G. Dayton
presiding.
The suit is the outcome of tn
death Of George L. McTsaacs, at
Fairmont, July p, 1901 The
plaintiff is represented by ATTORNEY
Nelson Hubbard, of Wheeling, and
the railroad company by Attorney.
John Basel and J. w Davis, of this
CITY, and Attorney u n. Arnett, of
Fairmont.
The contention of the plaintiff :
that McIsaacs was sitting on a truck
on the west end of the platform a
the station Mt Fairmont with a truck
loaded with trunks and other bag
gage fifty feet east of him. and 8
freight train came along, struck the
loaded truck and ran it up against
him, squeezing him to death, and
that his death was caused by Grim
inal negligence hv the company.
The railroad company contends
that the truck had been placed a
proper distance from the tracks.
that the freight had passed it a lit
tie while before without touching it
that there was quite a crowd on the
platform and some one must have
pushed the truck over toward tho
tracks, as there had been plenty of
room for n man to walk between IT
and any train passing and that the
truck was far enough away for him
TO get out of its way, and thus was
there negligence on his part in not
escaping or trying TO escape.
The cese occupied the entire day
and was not finished at press hour.

BYRNE
BREAKS
HIS NECK


The lifeless body of Gerald Bryne.
of Bridgeport, tanner, was disc0Ss
erred by Joseph Kraus, an employe
Of Klein & Merriman, wholesale
Sgrocers, of Water and Twenty-firsf
streets, in Wheeling, in the CELLAR
way of their store, shortly before
10 O'Clock Wednesday morning
Iraiis Immediately called j. ID
Merriman, member of the firm
who notified Officer Plant. When
Plant arrived life was extinct, but
the body of Byrne was still warm
Coroner Rogers was summoned and
after viewing the remains ordered
Them removed to the Palace under
taking parlors where later an autop-
sy was conducted by County Physi-
clans Caldwell and Ar1nbrecht.
Papers in the pockets of the dead
mans clothes showed him to be Ger
old Byrne and his boarding house at
Gustav Bee5er's hotel, No. 223a
Market street. He was apparently
about 50 years of age.
Byrne had first been seen by
Eraus shortly before 2 O'Clock sitt-
ing at the head of the cellarway
Eraus thought he was drunk and did
not disturb him. The next he saw
of the man was shortly before ten
o'clock when he saw him living at the
foot of the stairway with his head
under his body Kfaus then called
Mr.. Merriman and when Officer
Plant, who was notified arrived
they made an examination and found
that the man was dead with his neck
broken.
The result of the autopsy was that
Byrpe's death was the result of a
hem6rrhage of the spinal canal
superinduced by dislocation and
fracture of the second curvical YER
tsbFae
The distance which Byrne fell was
between five and six feet and it Is
evident that he did not fall from =
sitting position, but had walked
around and probably stumbled head
first into the cellarway.
Inquiry at Byrne's boarding house
brought forth the fact that he had
gone to that city about two weeks
ago from Bridgeport, w. Va, and
secured employment at Hoffman's
tannery He had not worked since
last Saturday and had been drinking
heavily. He was last seen at tho
hotel about $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday
evening in a fairly sober condition
and fold one of his fellow boarders
he was going to work in the morn
ing. When the porter went to call
Byrne about 5 80 O'clock, he was
not in his room but She bed had been
occupied and he had evidently goI-
ont some time before.
From the papers in his pocket, 1t
was learned that Byrne's wife was
living in Bridgeport and, Coroner
Rogers notified her of her husbands
death over the long distance tele
phone
Byrne was Canadian and had
resided at Bridgeport about Is
years. Until recentlw he was en-
ployed at John DunlSin,s tannery
there. He leaves a wife and daugh'
ter.
