sstrations of widest delight.
Hon. Robert Gordon, s.the gentleman
from Auglaize,' being called on, said:
'"Spiv: Put my speech in blank"
Which being agreed to, Mr.. Speaker Fol-
lett was discovered behind the door, with
a sandwich in his mouth and ginger snap
in each hand. Hewas loudly called for, and
In his usual graceful and happy manner,

Many other things were sung and said to
the great satisfaction of the hearers .sE
e We are gratified in our friend Thomp-
sons success in winning the cane. He had
some of the strongest men in the city to run
against May he live long to enjoy his
honors, and may the sympathy and respect
OF his fellow citizens support his declining
years.
The affair last.night was very happy
one, and was vastly enjoyed by all present.
The speeches, as speeches, were success.
FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD Acc1DsNr-MANl
KILLED.-A German named Casper Hertz,
stone cutter by trade, who lived
at 35S South Third Street, was killed yes
terday by the day express on the Central
Ohio Railroad, near the Harbor Road
Bridge, about half mile from this city.
From all we can gather, we cannot but be-
lieve that the mans death was voluntary.
just before the train was due, he walked
from the depot down the road. AS he
passed some one at work, he ienquired the
time the Pittsburgh train would leave. sta
ting that he wanted to go to Pittsburgh.
He walked on until he came to place be-
tween two road bridges where there is a
rather sharp curve in the railroad, reaching
it. just before the incoming train. AS soon as
the engineer on the train discovered him
he whistled down brakes and reversed his
engine, but Hertz paid no attention to it,
and the swift engine struck him, throwing
him on to the cow-catcher. As soon as
the train could be stopped those in
charge ,hastened to his relief but
he was dead. The entire back part
of his head had been torn off, leg and
an arm broken and his brains scattered
over everything. From all the evidences,
1t seemed almost certain that he had never
left the center of the track and had made
no effort to get out of the way. The coroner
held an inquest on the remains and brought
In verdict of accidental death, entirely
exonorating the railroad employees in the
matter. 7asa'ne7 a1si55 t7s5t
