Fifth WardTHE WIRT COUNTY TRAGEDY.A nnw-l Jlstrev.dnc ra»e .J rv.:» ■. suffer lug and several deaths in one family la the one from Wirt county in which a father and nil his children were victims of poisoning by wood alcohol. Tho mother was the only member of the family that escaped nud she hod no! touched the stuff that look her hus band and children away from her in only a few brief hours. Our purpose In referring to the Incident her*- If* to nlio.r tvhnt lioull.!*-thlng was done by a father.It appears tJjut Francis lloyce. ugr.l about 21 years, went to Parkersburg last Saturday*, and there secured a bottle of wood alcohol thut. boro no label, lit* Imbibed from the flank and the poisonous llquov so erased bln. that he ran out of the house, caught a train and was picked up at Weils-TlUc. Ohio, and sent home, arriving Sunday. During the absence of Frank, hi* father, nt*or 06. found th«* bun?* and the taste of tho liquor being to his liking, he drank freely suid supplied his children. Jennie, 10 years old. andHarry. 7 years old. and a baby about eight months old. with tho fluid: Tho father, (he daughter Jennie and the baby Ulod from the effects of the poison Sunday, and their runoral occurred Monday afternoon from the M. e. Church, at Palestine, all three being Interred In tho one grave. The unusual .Circumstance cau?lt;3lt;] a large number lo attend the obsequies, It being said It was the largest funeral over held In Wirt county. 'At. rtvo o’clock Sunday afternoon the seven year old son Harry died, and Francis, who purchased the alcohol originally 18 reported as likely to succumb.It seems Incredible thnt a father would give alcohol or any sort to his three children of Buch ages as those mentioned above., It is scarcely any wonder that we have so many human wrecks tossed upon the shoals or time with such fathers and moth-era as hosts of children have. So few people seem to realize the responsibility of parenthood.Pfirano® people sec that they had sufficient strength to elect u no license ticket for council It would be a matter of only a short time until the grog, shops of the city would be closed, rtut getting a vote on the question is but the barest beginning of the battle. From now until sun down on election day the liquor people will not leave a stone unturned. They will scarcely close their eyes In sleep and money will be spent freely to put the advocates of no license out of business. It now behooves the people who are behind this no license proposition to lay j aside oilier matters and bond every \1 energy to getting votos for their cause. The teat will be an Interesting ono and will he watched by other cities and towns which are perhaps planning to make a similar lest Fromilthla time forward we promise there will be leuw knhurgry In the city campaign.An BiUcje relative to the nllegeJ pinna of the B. and O. to cut Its pns-' sengor rervlco to meet the requirements occasioned by tho passage of the tw* cent fare bill Is going the rounds, each town Inserting Its own name in the closing paragraph as fol-lowa:If the service Is cut down. It la not known «ust how much --——will suffer, ft Is believed, however thnt no local trains will be cut off asnearly every train running Into-la a money-mnker.If each train that rjfla Into all the towns mid cities of West Virginia Is u lawiiey nmker and will friot be affected by tho two cent fare law, who has any right to kick?Stanford White has been tried nud found guilty and Evelyn Nesblt Thaw has not been able to ahow a blameless life In the case Jerome has pur. up against her. The outcome or the case of Harry Thaw when he comes to trial is as yet uncertain. It Is not known Just when Jerome expects to take up the qose of the man who Is supposed to be the crlranal but he will probably roach his ense before many asys.4Since the above editorial was written and put In type, the board of health has reported thnt the poisoning or the Boycu futility was not caused. from wood alcohol, as the following dls-patch dated at Parkersburg shows: “The hoard of health'of Wirt county has completed it* Investigation of the cause of the four deaths at Palestine on Saturday und Sunday in tho family of E. S. Boyce, and has found that the wholesale poisoning was not due to wood alcohol, mi at flrstsuspected, but to poisoning from eating kraut Ah a teat which would satisfy the most alceptlcal that tho. deaths wore not due to poisoning from wood alcohol, several members of the board drank some of the alcohol which wan found at tho Boyce home without causing the least sickness, and which proved to be grain alcohol. Tho suspicion which existed on .Monday that foul play might have entered the tragedy has been entirely allayed.'’If the finding of the hoard of health Is true, the man who Is responsible for the stories sent out. concerning thk affair ought to he punished so-verely, if there is any law covering the case. It Is due the character of the dead father that Jm be nxonerut-ed. Now. the questions arise, did the father drink of the grain nlcolml and give it to the children and did the mother touch neltlior the alcohol nor the kraut? Again, do eight months’ old babies In Wirt county eat kraut?The Parkersburg State Journul speak* In the following manner on a timely and Interesting suojoct:“It Is evident that If Hon. Lamar C. Powell's confirmation us one of the board of directors of the penitentiary, had been, left to the newspapers, he would have gone through as allck na grease. Tho press will be found to be more powerful, too. than the State Senate. ....Roney’s Boys.Tho Wheeling Now* of February 1 has the fllowluffi notice: “A thoottghly enjoyable entertainment wi given Saturday evening by the Roney BOys Concert Company. The bo; are Master Garvin Power, flrat h pro no; Master, Glen Sherwood, gecor soprano; Master Walter Allen, fir alto;' Dmost Huyck, secoialto, and Master Walter Uehke, cr net and second alto.
