THERE came near being a sad &C
cideut at the C. & P. depot on the SIX
o'clock train this morning. Mr.. Cosby
and his two daughters, Ella and Mary
Bell were going on the train, and oeiog
late jumped on the platform after the
train had started, and losing thelrifoot-
ing fell between the platforms, OF the
two cars. The cars were Immediately
stopped or the wheels of the next car
back wonld have passed over them.
Persons cannot be too careful about
jumping on cars while they are IN
motion, and it would be better to lose
a train than run the risk OF broken
limbs at the least. None OF the parties
mentioned were hurt save Mr.. Cosby,
who bruised his hand and one OF bis
knees quite badly.
SEVERAL left this morning to attend
the Sunday School convention at Clar'
ilgton.
BESwooD.
We hear OF a number OF cases OF
sickness throughout town, and some
thing like a ligh form ofchoIera seems
to prevail. The greatest precaution is
necessary to insure good health SO long
as this extremely warm weather lasts,
and people should see to it that their
town is perfectly clean in ali directions.
This may seem on srdurous undertak-
Ing, but an ounce OF prevention ls worth
| pound of cure, and few days
spent in cleaning houses, yards and
streets are surely small sacrifice to
make, considering the loss OF life that
occur from neglect OF this matter.
On Saturday last honse belonging
TO Mr.. William Doyle, near the depot,
caught fire and but for timely aid
would have been burned down.
The contracts for the Benwood
school house have been given 10 the
following parties, and work will com
mence on it Immediately. 1t will be
near the centre OF the town, and will
cost in the neighborhood Of five thou
sand dollars. Stonework, c. Lark
road, $3.50; brick work, Mr.. Water
house, g, l20; carpenter work, Wheeler
u Stephens, $a,022. A; plastering,
J. R. Ramsey, 1914; painting and
glazing, H. H. Gill, $40; tin work,
John, Hammond, $3.50.
FRED. DEBoLD was arrested on Sat-
urday and bound over to keep the peace
tor the term OF one year, but failing to
pay his bonds, was sent to MoundsvIlle
to jail, after a preliminary trial before
Squire McJilton, when bis wife went
his bail and he is out. We have not
learned when his case will have hear"
ing. The trouble seems to be that
Debold has become ipoculated with
some OF the virus OF modern iree-love
ism, and on Saturday took his affinity,
who halls from Wheeling, home with
him, and Mrs. Debold having no liking
for affinites SIGHTED the fact, when
Debold prepared to act on the defense
OF bis principles and became noisy,
when the constable stepped in and ar
rested him.
