i
injured man had expired at 10 o.c1ocie
Owing to the fact thar the local ON
cials have no jurisdiction over the
territory IN which the accident hap
peneds no report has been received
andtthe region SO isolated that no de-
tails are given except those above. 1t
is thought that he died before the
wreckage was removed His young
son, Frank, junior. was not badly hurt.
The remains viii be prepared for
burial at Weston and wiz arrive here
tomorrow morning on No. g. Inter
ment will be in this city, probably
Wednesday.
Frank Carrico was born in Rowles-
burg. this State, January 9th, 1873.
When quite a young nan he was
united in marriage to Miss Alice Ell
lis. of this city. To this union was
born two children. Ada. aged IA, and
Frank, junior. aged u. Mrs. Carrfco
died in February, 1908. and since that
time Mr.. Carrico and children have
made their home with the Ellis fam
lily on Fifth street. Fifth ward. He
had run an engine on the NJ. R.
branch for the past thirteen years
and was always considered one of the
best men in the company's employ.
AS mentioned above, this'is the fourth
bad accident in which he was impii-
Gated, each affair, however, being
caused by no fault of his. In the last
few years three firemen have been
killed while firing for him and his
railroad life has been very stormy.
The accident which nearly resulted
in his death in May, 1902, caused him
to be totally unfit for work for one
year, six months of which time he
was belfast. His young son insisted
on making the trip to Pfckens with
his father Saturday, expecting to re-
turn on Sunday morning. The boy
was very sleepy when his father was
called on that morning and asked to
remain with friends until to-day. His
request was granted and he witnessed
his parents awful death. Mr.. CARR
co was member of lodge No. 2S4,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, of Grafton, and it is likely thai
that body will have charge of the
| funeral.

The Wheeling Telegraph. replying
to the West yirginian in defense Of.
the liquor efement. says: :
We find the liquor element is not
unlike ali other elements that are
powerful. II exercises that power
when the shoe pinches. What about
the railroads. the great coal combine,
the steel trust, the oil trust and such.
Have they any politics? Are they not
always manifest at the Legislature
looking out for the best of it? Com
mercially speaking, few have any po-
litical preferences when they have
axes to grind. In that respect. the
liquor element is not different from
the other combines above mentioned.
Then why single it out as an object
of the Republican party's wrath?"
The West Virginian has never
come in contact with "the railroads,
the great coal combine, steel trust"
etc, in such a way as to be very
much annoyed by them. The liquor
element is always "butting in" and
this in particular is what we are
after at the present time. AS to the
others we will be. ever ready and will
ling to discipline them, too, when
they become too gay. The West Vir-
gilman believes in machine politics
the Pennsylvania or Quay kinda
kind that rolls up majority of over
100000 for Roosevelt. We have lived
long enough to know that the party
fares best which takes care of it's own
and let's the other fellows look out for
themselves. The Democratic party
ran things in its own way in this
State and was in power for nearly
twenty-five years. That is political
lifetime. Twenty-Five years hence
the Republican party will no doubt
be in control of affairs in this State,
but the men who outline its policies
now will be then forgotten or mainly
so. While the party in power has no
disposition TO punish its enemies, still il
should study to reward it's friends
and make it unpleasant for those
who receive favors at its hands and
yet stab it in the back on any and
I'll occasions, as does the Telegraph

THE LUCKY ONES
THE ARTICLES GIVEN BY
COAL CITY COMPANY.

The drawing contest inaugurated
by the Coal City House Furnishing
Company was closed at nine o'clock
Saturday night. and the result as
far as is known, is given to the pub
lie, The owner of the handsome
brass bed has not made his appear
ance, but the ticket, 2,747 awards him
the coveted prize. Arch Hamilton is
the lucky man who wins the beautiful
drugget displayed in the window,
the ticket l1,494 being the one to so
decide it. c. f. Manley possessed
the ticket $3.50. and this gave him the
big leather rocking chair. The ticket
that gives its holder the fine Havi-
land dinner set is 1908. and this has
not yet been claimed, either. This
contest awakened a great deal of in
terest, as the prizes offered were of
such a substantial and expensive ma
ture that they appealed to everyone
and caused the outcome TO be watch
ed with much more than the ordinary
amount of attention. The fortunate
possessers of these beautiful articles
are indeed TO be congratulated. The
store which can offer such gifts must
needs be prosperous. and back of
this prosperity must be a commenda-

Some of the ableSt statesmen in
West Virginia have recommended the
adjustment of all the Normal
schools of the State except the one
here and the one at Fairmont and
practically all who have considered
the situation believe that such action
would be beneficial, both to the
schools and to the State. But then
the Legislature will not do it. It's Il
habit the Legislature has not TO do
anything that is Notwithstanding
ton Advertiser.
A certain contingent may object -
putting the Normals out of business.
but it looks favorable that the major
ity will vote for the recommendations
of Governor White two years ago
when he asked that all but two be
abolished or turned over to the coun-
ties in which they are situated.
1t is possible that many deals will
be made by Legislators unfavorable TO
such a proposition and by those hail
ing from those districts in which the
Norma1s are conducted yet if we mis-
take not, there will be sufficient law
makers to take the bull by the
horns and force the issue at the prop
er time.
The Normals are doomed and there
is absolutely no argument that can
be advanced for the preservation CT

The story that Secretary of State
elect Charles Swfsher had telesraphed
that he, with some others, would go
ION Nan Patterson's bond to the
amount of $4,000, is strenuously de-
MED by that gentleman. The story
looked very fishy on the face of it. 1t
seems that some of the coming secre-
ztary of states friends, while in con
vfyial mood celebrating Christmas,
did wire a telegram to that effect,
signing the name of Mr.. Swisher to
it without either his knowledge or
consent. This was done as their idea
OF joke. but the New York authori-
ties took the matter seriously, they

CHEERS FATHER.
FRANK cARRIco AGAIN CAUGHT
IN SERIOUS WRECK BUT IS
STILL LIVING

Frank Carr;co. the well known B.
and o. engineer, was again reported
killed this morning, but from the
latest news from the scene of the
wreck he is doing nicely and will re-
cover. notwithstanding that he was
under his engine for three hours.
He hauls trains l and between
this city and Pickens and was on his
way down with No. 1. when. in round
ing a sharp curve Just east of New
lon, about 7:30 O'Clock, large bowl
der on the track derailed the engine.
Neither Carrico nor his fireman jump
ed, but the latter escaped without in
jury, while Carrico was pinned Sc
curely under the monstrous machine.
The first reports from. the wreck
stated that he could not possibly live,
while another at 10 o'clock confirmed
the first. The Weston wrecker was
sent up but proved too light to rem
der valuable assistance and the one
from Grafton was rushed to the
scene. With their heavy outfit the
big engine was moved and the III
IL
was then found that while he had re-
ceived bad wounds, he was not fatal
ly hurt. A small son of the injured
man was riding in the baggage car
and received few bruises. but was
not badly hurt. One member of the
crew said that the most pitiful sight
he ever witnessed was the youngsters
grief when, with the father under the
| engine and everyone powerless to aid,
the little fellow broke down. AL
though suffering from his numerous
bruises. the boy remained as near his
father as he could get and encouraged
him in every way.

On three former occasions Carrico
has been reported dead and each time
he surprised his physicians and
| friends by recovering. The last bad
accident he was in came very near re
sulting fatally for him. He lay in a
local hospital for three months and
| for nearly month his life was de.

physique. in fact physical giant
which accounts for the many terrible
accidents he has survived.
A more popular man never resided
in Fairmont, not only among railroad
men, but among people generally. and

have been besieged by inquirers since
| the accident was first known.

request that the council purchase
me at once, to be paid for out of
the regular appropriation of the
Council for the Fire Department for

remit such proportion of bis said
earnings as may be necessary to pay
for said carts, or 10 make up the de-
fclency caused by their purchase.
2. The fire alarm system needs at
tention and putting in repair SO to be

ton, as the welfare of the city de-
mands it.
