A BAD, DISASTROUS RUNAWAY.

On Tuesday forenoon occurred the most sue.
cessful runaway Of the season If the aim of run.
away horses that is horses thatrun of out of pure
recklessness, is to tear things up and make as
many splinters as possible, surely this team made
startling success in their attempt 1t was the
large black draught team of Dannemiller& & Sons
one that has been heard Of before. They were at
the freight depot where Pat McAnespie, the dri.
yer, had fastened them by tying the lines to a
hitChng place, while he proceeded to unload four
barrels of sugar. He had removed three of them
into the freight house, and was on the heavy
truck tuggng away at the fourth when the team
whired snapped the lines, and shot off through
the yard OF the Wrought Iron Bridge Company
Pat started after and ran beside one of them
nearly able to reach a rein, until they suddenly
steered off so that the wagon struck the hind
wheels of the Bridge Company's wagon breaking
the coupling and twisting it around. Pat had tC

past the bridge works, and turned west on Eighth
street, where, a short distance along they ran the
wagon into one Of Beard G GOtshall's meal
wagons, throwing Henry Staulfer, the driver out
and upsetting his wagon on him. the Dame

street, followed by the meat wagon, which was
jerked along on its side by the frightened horse
hitched to 1t. A large lot of tallow and refuse
meat was left lying beside the Dannemiller
wagon, and one wheel Of the meat wagon served
to vary the confusion. At Mrs. Crosses, north
west corner Eighth and Cherry, the team ran on
both sides ofa locust tree, swapping apart, and
swinging the Off-hOrse in a clean semi.circe
around the tree, as though 1t had been but a
pounds weight This stopped them, and on ex-
animation it was found that one of the horses
had cut leader in the hind leg and was bleed.

right hind pastern, and they were taken to a vet.

wreck. Everything about the wagon was broken
springs, wheels, box, and cover all torn and tat

was slightly bruised but escaped wonderfully
In three minutes after the upsetting of the meat
wagon, about forty dogs assembled in caucus
and joined in free lunch; one small black and
tan was working his way awkwardly up an alley
dragging about twice his weight of raw meat

down on him and relieved him of his load. A
large crowd soon assembled and the wrecks

Three weeks ago to-day, F. NJ. CusaCk, of Can

crossing, Two weeks ago to-day, Julian Erisez
of Louisville, was so shockingly manged by the
special fast train, that his head has never been
found. One week later, Michael McGraw, a well
known coal miner, of North Lawrence, met his
death in similar manner at the Willow Bank
coal switch near Lawrence. Mike, as he was best
known among his companions, was one of the
unfortunate miners who were in the strike and
before the court of Common Pleas last term. He
was liked by all his fellow miners and all who
met him during his repeated visits to Canton,
found him liberal whole Souled man, with a
horny hand and brawny arm but a soft heart.
He and Jack Kay, a companion had been in
Canton almost ever day for some time before his
death, circulating petition praying for the par.
don and release of Anthony Moran, the only
one of the striking miners who was sent to Co.
lumbus We have been unable to learn with
any degree of accuracy, just how he was killed
but he was on freight, on Wednesday evening of
last week. going from Massillon home. At Will

trains to pass from the other direction, and when
it started up again, he was in some way thrown

ONLY NINE DOLLARS FOR THE ROUND
TRIP

A special train of elegant coaches will run
through to Philadelphia by daylight, leaving Can
ton about o'clock q. M, on Saturday, September
10th, and reaching Philadelphia at o'clock D. m,

time, is unprecedented and the arrangement has

is another reason why arrangements have been
completed for daylight trip. The tickets will be
good for fifteen days, which will give ample time
for visiting the Grand Exposition and seeing the
wonders Of the world in comparatively short
space Of time 1t must be remembered that this
will be special through train so that the discom.
forts and inconvenience of changes which are
always annoying in the extreme, and incident TO
other tines, will be avoided. All purchasers of
tickets will have the privilege of returning by
way of Baltimore and Washington, al their option.
One Of the features of this excursion of deep in
terest to Odd Fellows will be the opportunity af-
forded Of listening to an historical sermon on the
18th inst by the Rector of Christs church, where
Washington worshipped, which will be especially
directed to the fraternity, The distance saved by
taking this route is one 5ndred and forty three miles
which will serve to lessen the wearisome effects
of the ride greatly as they reach Philadelphia six
or eight hours in advance of any other line arri-
wing at the main entrance to the Exposition
Grounds in daylight, and giving an early and
striking view of the grand scene, which is mag
nifcent in its effects all passengers will avoid
the confusion of arriving in an over-crowded city
at midnight, by taking this the only road that Of
fers these unparalleled advantages, and besides
they will save time, travel and money

line, marked change for the better has taken
place in the management Of the latter and 1t is
now safe to say that in all the elements and de-
tails essential to the successful operation of first
class railway IL will compare favorably not only
with the parent line itself but with any other of
the great railway lines of the country The road
may be put down as equal to the best, in point of
speed, comfort and safety; and as these are the
great requisites which travellers look for and will
continue to look for we are not surprised to hear
of large increase in the business of the line un
der the new regime.
With regard TO the scenery along the line it
must be seen to be appreciated for no language
we might use could properly describe its varying
and striking beauties. Indeed, we have seen
many who have travelled the road, claim that in
this respect it is even ahead of the justly famed
Pennsylvania Central; bat however this may be,
we can assure the traveller passing over the line

pare favorably with the finest to be seen on any
other line east or west in the country.
