AT the meeting of this society
Wednesday night last, a number o.
citizens were present and committee,
were appointed to draft Constitu
ton and BY Laws, and to try and Sc
cure q gentleman from abroad TO de
liver a lecture under the auspices oI
the society.
The association has assumed q tan.
gible form and our citizens may ex-
pect lectures during the Winter from
home and foreign talent. We have
already frequently urged the people
of Findlny to come forward and as
sist in this matter and still continue
to do so. 1t is a necessity to every
town of "citified" proportions, and
Findlay stands in that category
Citizens of Findlay show an interest
in this enterprise. The next meeting
will be held in the basem ent of the
Presbyterian Church, next Wednes,
day night.

The N. Y. Herald published &
startling special dispatch some ter
days since, stating that the island
of Tortola in the West Indies had
been entirely submerged by water,
caused by terrific hurricane and that
the entire community, about 10000
souls had perlshed.
1t appears from subsequent &C
counts that the story was one of the
fabrications characteristic of that
paper, as nothing of the kind has
occurred, except violent storm in
which one family, being close to the
sea perlshed.

Horrible Accident.

One OF the most fearful accident
that has occurred in this city for .
long, time took place in this Office, o
about twelve o'clock this morning
resulting in the death of Mr.. II. C
Parmenter, the foreman of the Blad,
newsrOom. The circumstances o.
the case are as follows: e7
The forms for the twelve O'Clock
edition-supplying the towns on the
Wabash road-had just been made
up, when the accident occurred
These forms are conveyed from the
news room in fourth story to press
room in the basement' large dummy
raised and lowered by means of a
rope connected to the box or dummy
by large iron hook and ring. MIR.
Parmenter, with the assistance of Mr.
Crossman, compositor in the news
room, was placing the forms in the
box. One of the forms had been
placed in the box, and the other one
was being lifted in; when Mr.. Par
menter, as was his usual custom,
placed one foot in the box while he
leaned toward to adjust the position
of the forms for their downward
passage just as he did SO the box
fell, carrying him with it for the en-
tire distance of five stories, precipi-
tatlng him to the floor of the press
room where he lay in an insensible
state. q i@ atf
He was at once taken up and
placed upon temporary bed which
had been standing There for some
time. Surgical aid was at once sum.
moned, lbut nothing could be done
for him. Upon examination it was
concluded that the blow from which
he received the fatal injury much
have been before he commenced to
fall. 1t was supposed that the heavy
crossbar to which are attached the
hook and ring by which the box is
suspended struck him on the back of
the neck just where the spinal cord

sion which destroyed consciousness.
Another blow from a similar cause,
was sustained on the back of the
head, which may have produced the
fatal concussion. The case was q
hopeless one. Nothing could be
done but to stand and watch the life
ebbing away. Slowly and by degrees
it faded, and in about three quarters
of an hour from the time when the
accident occurred, the last spark of
life had expired.
Mr.. Parmenter was apout thirty
five years Of age. He leaves wife
and two children-a boy and girl
ON whom this irreparable loss
will intlict most severe and weighty
blow. The most profound sympathy
of all will be with them in their ter
rible affection but that will but lily
alleviate the fearful severity of this
sudden and unexpected blow. The
deceased had been an employee of
the Blade for over five years, up
wards of year of which time he had
occupied the position of foreman in
the newsroom. Previous to that time
he occupied similar position on the
Sandusky Register. He had also
been connected with the Lima Garette
as publisher, which paper Is now pub
lished by his brother. In all his re-
lations he has gained high reputa
tion for industry, intelHgence and
efficiency, and tho terrible and sud-
den death which he has met will be
mourned by ALI who knew him.
