M Gostlu Luxuru.
It is rumored that there is to be a
Republican newspaper launched at
the oounty seat to divide favors
with the C'eredo Advance. No
one seems to know, or to particu
arly care, who the backers of the
enterprise are, but it in supposed to
be “sore heads” from both parties,
who, so they think, roust either
rale or ruin, but generally do neith
er.
Whoever the backers are they
‘will find the venture a costly lux
ury.—Wayne NewB.
The News has put it correctly,
• the venture to the promoters will be
“a costly luxury,” but theu all
learn by experience.
Disastrous Explosion.
Gallipoli*, O., Sept. 24.—While
out on the Ohio river last night
with 22 passengers, the gasoline
tank on the yacht Blanche M. ex
ploded.
All on the yacht were thrown in
to the water and four were drown
ed.
The lost were Johu E. Edwards,
clerk in the GaMipolU post-office.
J (J. Simmons, druggist, of H»c
risville, W. Va.
E. H. Brake, assistant cashier of
the Harrisville First National Bank.
J. Willis Fiddler, postmaster at
Harrisville ami Secretary of the
West Virginia Congressional Com
mittee.
None of the bodies were recover
ed.
Harvey E. McGinnis, circuit
court clerk at Ilarrisville, an«l M.
E. Mesorvie, clerk county court,
were badly burned
The party came here from Hai
risville with a brass band to attend
• the big land sale ami had gone out
• on the river for an outing.
The explosion was caused by a
lantern falling from the roof of the
yacht to the engine, igniting the
gasoline.
John Edwards, one of the missing
men, was an experienced swimmer,
and it in is believed that be was so
teriibly injured as to render him
unconscious.
Mr. J. \V. Fiddl er was one of
the most highly respected residents
of Ritchie county, having taken a
prominent part in polities for a
number of years. Mr. Brake was
just as well known and highly re
spected in Ritchie county, having
been engaged there for a number of
▼ears in the banking business. ;>lr.
{Simmons was a prominent druggist
of ilarrisville.
Among the passengers on the ill
fated launch who were saved after
being more or less severely burned
are: J. J. {Sigler, B. M. {Syler, L.
R. Snodgrass, I>r. J. VV. Watson,
Bert Adam-, R. B. Cokeley, C. I.
Jones and T. J. I>avis, all of Har
risville.
Nearly all of the above named
persons were acquaintances and
friends of the editor of this paper.
Mr. Simmons, who lost his life,
was a nephew, (by marriage) and
Mr. Sigler, a brother-indaw of the
editor.
BODIES RECOVERED.
All the bodies have been recover
ed. Edwards’ wras the first found,
only a few miles this side of the
scene of the iata*trophe. Brake’s
and Simmons’ were found last Fri
day—the first named at Chambers,
burg and the last opposite this
{ place. That of Mr. Fiddler was
discovered floating at Crow n City,
twenty miles below Gallipolis, {sat- !
urday.
Notwithstanding the compara
tively short time that ihe bodies of
the Ritchie county victims had been
in the water, they were very badly I
decomposed, so much so that it
was impossible to open the caskets
at the funerals so sorrowing re I a-1
tivos and friends could take a last
look at the faces of the three vie-'
tims. The bodies were embalmed
and placed in air tight caskets.
