Railroad Accident.

An accident occurred on Thursday night
last to the Tifin Accommodation trsia on
the Sandusky, Dayton & Cincinnati Railroad
which fortunately resulted in no loss Of life
This train consists Of freight csfs, and ,
single passenger car in the rear: Near
Watson's Station, o wooden tFessel bridge
nearly three hundred feet in length, crosses
q deep gully over q small etream called Su.
gar Creek. The banks of the gully slope
towards the centre, and from the track tc
the bed Of the stream the distance is aboul
one hundred feet.
Between eight and nine o'clock on Thurs.
day evening, as the train was passing over
the Bridge at moderate rate Of speed, II Il
supposed that truck in about the middle o
the train broke and some portion of the truck
catching In the timbers of the Bridge tore
them up, and ether portions of the bridge
giving way, sevengffeight cars were precip.
itated through into the gully. The engine
and tender were left on the bridge ss well
as the passenger car, and no One was injured
in the least. A large force of men were
sent from this point as soon as intelligence
Of the accident was received, who built
bonfire with portions OF the wreck and work
ed diligently all night in cleafing away the
track. Trains were delayed only a shor
time. II appears to belong to that class o.
railroad accidents in which blame can b,
attached to no one. Mr.. Converse was thu
conductor, and he as we'll as oil on boart
the train say they were moving at a slow
rate Of speed:-S SGndusky Register.

A Chapter of Accidents. {.

The wife of Mr.. Charles Way, died in this
village last week. On Friday, Mr.. Way
and family, with some friends, attended her
remains to Franklin Mills for interment.-
There were two carriages and an open buggy.
Returning from Franklin, when about mile
this side of the village, in picking the way
one of the carriages was driven up bank ol
some two feet in height, when the hind
wheels broke. A young lady, Mise Reed
of Coventry, was thrown from the carriage.
and had her collar bone broken.
She was placed in the other carriage, and
the team urged homewsrd so as to afford heI
surgical aid. Some distance further, Mr..
Ticker, who was driving the buggy, found
the springs broken, nd by some accident.
getting entangled in the reins, he fell, bruis
ing him very badly, though without fracture
of bones. He was nearly senseless when
picked up.
The carriage passed Cuyahoga Falls and
reached the Railway crossing on this side
when the whistle was heard of the southern
train approaching. The horses became rest
i've, and Mr.. Way jumped from the carriage
to hold them. After the long train had
passed, it was found that Mr.. Way had, in
some manner, fallen, and either the horses
or csrriage, or both, passed over him. break.

To the Editor of the Portage Sentinel:
S1R-In view Of the false position before
the community, in which am plsced, or
sought to be placed, by the advertisement oil
Robert McKelvy. in your paper of the lst
inst, and also by his oath, made in the case
OF Lewis Us. Corbett ct ais, crave the privi.
lege of setting myself right by the following
unvarnished statement of facts:
In my testimony In the case above refer.
red to, stated that sit had been thirty.six
years since first settled in Palmyrs," from
which it will be perceived that | was here
in 1923; and have never said, under oath
or otherwise, that wos settled here in 1922
although my statement, published by you on
the slst of March,. SO represents. There
was an error either in writing or in printing
the communication. Robert McKeIvy swore
that was not resident in 1922 nor 1923
nor for some time Afterwards. By referring
| to the afidavts of Isabella Calvin and Amos
McRelvy, appended to his communication
it will be seen how we'll he is corroboratet
by some Of the "earIy settlers" They, il
their 'afiduvi,e, say. uncqulvocally and ua
quali6ediy. that settled here in 1923.
is not improbable that their statement ia
ken in connection with my own, woult
slightly overbalance his on that point. Mr.
McKelvy stated in his communication, tina
swore that was living at Mahlon Calvin
prior to the marriage of John Lewis, ant
was we'll acquainted with him, and that my
wife was frequent visitor at the house o
Judge Lewis; which l charge is absolutel y
false. did not, and could not have go tes
tilted, for my own marriage was subsequen
to that Of John Lewis. l will further adj
that Mr.. McKeIvy was absent from this pur
of the country when settled here, and di,
not return, | think, for at least two years
therefore, his personal knowledge in refer
ence to some things he has stated, can b.
judged of.
am averse to having controversy or con
tention with any one, but l am not unwiIl
ing, and indeed am rather anxious, to have
this matter investigated; and if Mr.. Nickel
Wy has any thirst for further notoriety, sucl
as he is gaining 'by this controversy, VIZ
shall probably hear from him again.
Respectfully, SAMUEL ROGERS.
