ACcIDENT-NIr. C. Eckert, assistant engineer in
the office of the Wrought Iron Bridge Company,
met with painful accident last Saturday at the
works. He was standing on one of the large boil
ers which was being placed in position, and pres
emily he jumped off, and as he jumped he noticed
man almost under him, and in turning himself
to avoid jumping on the man, he struck the
ground in such manner that his ankle was
badly wrenched and seriously sprained. The ac-
cident will keep him confined for some time, and
thus far he has suffered considerable pain. Frank
spcer, who was injured just week before, by
the same boiler rolling on his leg is improving
rapidly, and is now able to get about little on
crutches

disturbance before; but yesterday afternoon, Just
after oats time, he took an unprecedented fit and
ran away. Have you ever seen distracted horse
run away with long.tailed dray, dear reader
Well, it is funny sight. The old horse came up
Walnut street by jumps, like a toad walks and
the tail end of the dray tapped in the wind like
sheet on clothes line on windy day, only II
was more jerky and stiff. AS the horse turned
eastward on Tuscarawas street. the dray veered
around to the north, making a semicircular
sweep, and nearly throwing the horse Ia flip
flap, but bracing himself he once more jumped
of, the dray going bump-a-te.bump over the cob.
bled street. till it came to Foyes drug store, where
it swerved in toward the curb and struck new
sign post with mortar and pestle on it, break
ing 1t off and sending the mortar through the air
into the middle of the street. The horse stopped
a few rods further along with no particular dam
age to the dray.

In Boston and other cities the Murphyites wear
red ribbon on their coat lapels. In Canton they
wear blue ribbons, and some who take their
toddy wear red ribbons. Last Saturday an East
ern drummer, of genteel appearance and tenn
perance man, got off of a train and went about
town during the day attending to his business and
wearing the red ribbon all day In the evening
he went to the meeting in the Eagle block and
was surprised to see how the blues stared at the
lonely red until he learned what kind of pre-
dicament he was in. Before he left he secured
pieces of ribbons Of all imaginable hues and will
accommodate his colors to those of the towns he
may swoop down on hereafter.

Then she called him a ragged haired hyena

him and he thought II was--"well, guess like

VERNAL EQUI'KNoCKs,-A victim of Spring was
found early Tuesday morning lying in the snow
in an alley off of East Seventh street. His right
ear was split downward six inches from the top
and his auburn hair hung stifIly from his decort-
Gated scalp. Nothing was found on his person to
give any clue, except piece of manuscript tight
ly grasped in his righthand and which was found
to be marked ''for the DEMOCRAT" and proved to
be an original ode to Spring, commencing:
Ethereal mildness, gentle springtime, come"
But we desist with the remark that it wasn't
deemed necessary to summon the coroner.

The committees have serious questions before
them to decide. The Enquirer says:
From the various rehearsals we heard yester-
day we should say that the committee has no
small task before them to decide without prejll-
dice; for babies cry so differently, you know
some squeal, some scream, some howl, some
whoop, some yell, and some do all at one time.
How beautifully the poet expresses it when he
says,
"Bye, oh, my baby!
When was a lady
Oh, then my poor baby did cry
But my baby is weeping
For want Of good keeping,
Oh, fear my poor baby will die.'
1t almost makes one weep to read such poetry.
