sad and Fatal Accident.

Last Wednesday evenings as the Youngs-
town Express train was leaving Phslsnx
Station, DIETER known as Brsceville,) Mr..
J. Il. StuH, a resident of Girard, this coun-
ty, in trying to get upon the train while it
was in motion, missed his hold and fell
under the forward trucks OF the rear pas
senger coach, which passed over both legs,
crushing one of them above and the other
below the knee. The train was at once
stopped and the injured man was taken on
board, when everything was done for his
comfort that the passengers and employees
of the train couldd do. Surgeons were tele-
graphed to at this place, who mel the train
and accompanied the wounded man home,
bat he was so badly injured that surgical
skill was unable to save his life, and he
died at II o'clock that night.
Mr.. Stull had lost IN arm only q few
months previous, in his planning mill, at or
near Girard, and on the day of the acct
dent was at Phalanx Station attending a
sale of lumber, where he had purchased a
small bill, but was delayed in settling for
the same until the train had started. He
did not blame any one but himself, as he
had sufficient warning that the train was
about to start, forgetting for the moment
that hs>had the use Of but one arm. From
the time Of the accident and his being
brought on the train, Mr.. Stull said that
he could not live and did not wish to, but
was anxious TO reach his home that he
might see his family again before he died.
We learn that he leaves s wife and three
children to o his loss.

Through without Break.

In speaking of a through route from
Cleveland 10 Pittsburg, via the Mahoning
Division of the A. & G. W. Railway, the
Mahoning Courier says: Although we
have connections with Pittsbtrg and
Cleveland by rail, yet the run is not made
through from the former to the latter city
and vice versa, without a break or change
of cars-one of which occurs here and 8
second at Leavittsburg. There is some
prospect, however, Of a regular through
run being made in a month or two. Last
week the a. & G. W. Railway Company
pat a frame around one of the cars of the
z. Fl. W. * C. road, just the dimensions
of the broad guage coaches, which are now
running on the Mshoning Division on
narrow trucks. The car was then taken TO
Pittsburg, and the fact ascertainei that
the broad coaches Of the A. & G. W. Rail-
way would clear, without touching. the
narrowed points along the road and in the
Pittsburg yards. We hope the change
will be speedily effected, for as it is. it is
very annoying to the travelling public and
a detriment to the route, which Of otherwise
has the advantage Of every other compel.

The late snow storm was so evere and
tie snow so badly drifted in the vicinity
Of Jefferson, Ashtsbula County, that the
mails did not leave after Saturday nor ar
rive until the next Wednesday.
The Greenville argus says that Mr..
T. S. Hall, a conductor on the A. & G.
W. R. R. was badly injured s few days
since at GAINESVILLE Station, by a barrel of
oil falling upon him from the top of a
car.
The dwelling house of Mr.. Joseph
Custard, about five miles west Of New
Lisbon, COlumbiana county, was burned
down one day last week. The family
were sitting in a room down stairs at the
time the fire ives discovered in the second
story, but the flames had made such head
way that all efforts to save the building
proved fruitless. Nothing but a piano and
a few articles of bedding were saved. The
loss falls heavily on Mr.. c., the elemen t
snstching from him the hard earned ac-
emulation of years.
"A man named George Shelley, resi-
ding in Unity township, Columbiana
county, attempted suicide one day last
week, by hanging himself in his own barn
with a rope halter. He was discovered
and cut down before the vital spark had
aeI. Temporary insanity is assigned as
the cause for this attempt on his own life.
Thursday morning last the stack of
the Falcon Furnace of Brown, Bonaell &
Co., of Youngstown, took fire. and was en-
tirely burned down. The fire was caused
By part of the stack giving away in the
back part Of the furnace, in the hosting
room, and the molten metal running out
in such large quantities and SO fast that it
was impossible to check the flames. The
loss is estimated at $685. 600; partially in
sured.
-MessTs. Cushman and Jordon, of New
Lisbon Columbians county, have invent
ed a new m1de of telegraphing. The
Pittsburgh Commercial says of it: "The
alphabet used and mode of communication
is as perfect though notas rapid, as that of
the Morse system-is capable of millions
of changes for detective, private and bus
iness purposes; and yet is so simple in It's
operation that any person of ordinary
mind can learn to send and receive dis
patches in ten minutes time"
The fine mansion which Gov. Tod
had been erecting for several months past,
and which was nearing completion, was
destroyed by fire IN Friday of last week.
The loss was partially covered by insu-
rance. The Gov. intends rebuilding rs
soon as fair weather sets in.

InnntIcIde at Niles.

Coroner G. C. Reed, of this place, was
summoned to Miles, on last Monday, for
the purpose of holding an inquest on the
dead body of an infant under something
like the following circumstances About
three weeks ago a young woman, giving
her name as Sarah Loekhart, and hail
ing from this place, in an almost destitute
condition, made application for a situation
as domestic in the family offs MI. Carter
in Miles. They received her into the
family. where she is represented as having
faithfully attended to her duties until last
Sunday morning, when she complained of
being unwell and went TO her room. The
family attended church, as usual, and on
returning home Mrs. c. went to the girls
room and found the door fastened. Sup
posing the girl bad fallen asleep she did not
disturb her, but on going to the room early
in the afternoon again, she found the door
unfastened, and upon entering II her suspi-
cions were aroused that all was not right.
Upon questioning the girl she admitted 10
having given birth to a child and that she
had thrown it into the river. This state
ment was not believed, when search was
made and the body of the infant was found
In a pail of water beneath the bed. On
Monday a jury was summoned and a Pc st
mortem examination held, the verdict of
the jury being that the child met its death
at the hands of IFS mother. The child is
said to have been a healthy looking boy.
Charges have been made against tho
mother by the proper authorities.
