VETERAN BLUE JACKET REACHES
WHEELING ON LONG DIS.
TANcE JOURNEY.

WHEELING. Dec. II!-John Walsh.
n veteran blue jacket" whose home
is in Boston. arrived In Wheeling at
I o'clock last evening en- route from
San Francisco. There Is nothing par
ticular strange about Mr.. walsh's trips
across the country. with the excep-
tlon of the fact that he is making the
Journey entirely on foot.
Some time ago. Chas. ]. Ostermyer.
of San Francisco. hung up a wager OF
$4,000 conditioned that the person ac.
ccpting it was to walk from San Fran
cisco TO New York in ninety days, anil
with the further prorlslonthat he must
accumulate en- route 5000 in cash. Mr..
Walsh accepted and left San Francis
co October LIST. The total distance Is
1900 miles. and in reaching Wheel
ing Mr.. Walsh has clipped OF 300.
leaving $40 miles yet to be covered.
He called nc the Register Office last
evening. and told many interesting and
varied experiences on his trip. anl
stated that he was about rs hours
ahead OF time. being fully confident
that he would now win the prize. He
covered the, same distance in 1898 IN
% days. bat over different route
than on The present occasion. From
San Francisco he went to Salt Lake
City. thence 10 Portland. and then In 4
southeasterly course cutting of the
corners OF Arizona and New Mexico.
Arkansas and Louisiana. Kansas City.
and on to lioundhouse. Illinois. where
he struck the National road. which he
has followed since. passing through
indianapolis, Shelbyvllle. Springfield.
Dayton. Ni,ldlctown, West Jefferson
and other towns. At the last named
polut the automobile, in charge Of
George Wahc and Frank Clark. which
has been following walsh during tn.
entire journey. broke down, failing to
keep pace with It's human competitor.
The machine was repaired and will ar.
rive here to-day. Unless the machine
arrives early. Walsh states that HI
will leave for the east and not wait
for il.

EXCITEMENT
is ALL over
At M0N0NGAH
SEARCH FOR BODIES
is NE. RLY DONE

News from the mine explosion so
far as the Monongah end OF the line
Is concerned will not amount to much
any longer. The search for bodies has
ended in No. C and not much more
will be done In No. S. State Mine In
sPector Paul doesn't want any more
done than Just has to be until he had
made a thorough investigation. and for
hat reason the rescue parties are not
working today. Only two bodies have
been found since yesterday. and II is
not thought any more can be found
witho removing much debris. One
Of the rescue band says No, s Is In
much worse condition than No. 6, the
force Of the explosion having torn the
mine up very badly. He says falls
two hundred feet long have occurred
in some Of the rooms which are nearly
worked out. and that ii is not likely
they will ever be cleaned up. Should
there be bodies under those large falls
they would be beyond recognition and
the work would be useless.
One of the rescuers had a narrow
escape from death and he hardly
knows why he WAS saved. He was
standing ut one place directing the
work ard for some reason stepped
away short distance when u two.ton
fall came down at the exact spot
where be had been standing. 1t al.
most makes the cold chills run over
one to hear of such experiences.
The Garcasses OF several horses and
mules have been brought out Of the
mines during the past few days. There
was report current that no horses
or mules had been found. but that was
false.
Several cases OF scarlet fever are re-
ported among the children at Monon.
gah, but the best OF medical attention
will be given them and a spread OF
the disease is not anticipated.
One body was found In No. S about
noon to-day by Chief Paui's inspect
Ing committee. The party is working
through No. S toward No. G to-day.
The legislative committee did NOT
meet to-day at Clarksburg as an.
nounced. John Marshall, secretary OF
the committee was there and one or
two others are expected tonight. but
1t is probable that committee will al.
jorn until after the coroner's jury
renders Its verdict.

POISON IN TRENTON WHISKY.
Police Want Sale Stopped as It In
creases Crime

TRENTON, May 6.-Police Judges Rees
and Harris and Police Capt. Detmar. fol-
lowing an increase in crime of late in the
second precinct, have Joined in general
complaint to the government, the state de-
partment of pure food and to the Trenton
excise board that wood alcohol and rectifed
spirits mixed with poisonous compounds so
as to approximate whisky, are being sod
In the city.
Men brought before the judges for drunk
enness have stated that they had not drunk
more than two drinks of whisky, yet their
actions had been those of crazy men. Finally
the police captain got hold of a quart bot
tie of whisky" purchased here for 35 cents.
Analysis showed active poisons in this stuff.
The officials say the sale of this poison
should be stopped at once, as they attribute
the increase in crimes of violence solely to
its use.
