Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1879-05-16


game. 1t has played about dozen games
this Spring, and has, We believe, won on
Iy one game, and now the Clevelands are
are wiping the sand from their eyes and
wondering what the matter is.

ing on the evening of the 7th, appointed

Ford; Building and Repairs, Ducro, Ford
and Fassett; School Grounds, all members

The Times has account of certain
''Thug" operations said to have taken
place about the L. S. Station, but admits
that none of the local papers noticed them.
Good evidence Mr.. Times that they are bo-
gus. We never hold up here-some off at
least = for consideration of prudence in
noticing any and every thing, so that
''that place" is not so "nice place" after
all, perhaps.
Mr.. Samuel Boyle, of Columbus, o.,
formerly of Ashtabula, made us a call
last Monday. He has been guard in the
Ohio PenitentiaIy for many years, but
your Uncle Dick gave Sammy and about
100 other Republican employees in the
Penitentiary, the bounce and filled their
places with others of his own stripe and
color. Mr.. Boyle is now employed on the
Columbus Metropolitan Police force.
The grumbling so long about the un-
seasonable cold weather, has taken rather
sudden turn and with grunt and sweat,
the disposition is apparent to murmur
about the heat and protracted dryness. But
as view rite the rain descends, and probably
we shallh ave harmony of elements favor
able to vegetable growth and production,
unless the Waywardness of a democratic
congress should provoke a usually kind
Providence to descent us.
Il. W. Smith is back and the new
goods-a world of them-has been pre-
eeeding snd following him for weeks. He
is greeted upon his return by the burn
ing of barn with some % tons of hay,
over in the John Cheney neighbOr hood
The insurance CT 5000 upon the building
and the same upon the contents, will leave
his loss some $3.50 or $500. The fire took
in a straw stack at the corner of the barn,
in the middle Of the forenoon--unaecount-
ably.
Mr.. Albert Bieder who has succeeded
to the business of the Bieder Bakery, seems
to be putting the best foot forward, and
giving it a rather fresh impulse. He throws
considerable energy into it, and competition
only brings into freer use his business faeul-
lies and purposes. He is furnishing q de-
licious article of ice cream-Which just
now is very timely at figures never before
reached here, and if the business continues
to increase, he proposes to do his freezing
by steam power.
The pastor Of the Presbyterian church
Rev. Mr.. M'Giffert-goes as commits
sIoner to the general assembly of the Pres
byterian body that assembled on Thursday
last at Saratoga. This will cause his alb
sence for three Sabbaths. The desk will
be occupied on Sunday next, by Mr..
James Phillips, of the Methodist church,
assisted by one of the officers. Other
steps will be taken to continue the SER
vices of the two other Sabbaths, but no
evening services will be held during the
term of past oral absence.
The Original Tennessee Colored Con-
cert Company, will give one Of their con-
certs, at the Opera House on Tuesday the
Goth inst. As they have been here, and
their inimitable concerts are we'll known
to our people, not much need be said to
commend then to favor. Their weird wild
music has a singular charm about it that is
very attractive. Their plaintive melodies
are inexpressibly sweet, and have a tinge
of sadness about them that touches the
heart and brings up the fading memories
Of the days of slavery in which they were
born. What seems to many here as extrav.
sgance and burlesque in their represen-
tations, is true to the life as it was, and
only less so in a degree at the present time,
in the more remote bywsys Of the South.
They sing at Kingsville on Monday even
ing the 10Th inst.
"A bad accident occurred opposite the
house of R. S. Hardy, near the foot of
Bunker Hill, on Saturday last about one
o'clock. Frank Bates, of Sheffield, wa:
coming into town with load of wood, and
at the point named stick slipped of
striking the horses and starting them. In
order to fetch them up he Strengthened W
and by bracing, slipped forward and fell
to the ground striking on his back ant
shoulders, dislocating the left shoulder and
confusing the surface badly. One Of thu
wheels passed over his head rolling up tht
scalp of the forehead in frightful manner
and nearly filling the cavity of the left eye
with the displaced cuticle The grit and
dirt was ground into the ruffled portions O.
the scalp. Mr.. Bates was picked up anC
carried into the house Of Mr.. Hardy appa
rently as much dead rs alive, and DR.. H
h. Bartlett brought the joint into place an,
dressed the wounds Of the face and head
After fainting he appeared to have
been hurt less than was apprehended
and was enabled to rise up. The escap
was rather OF the miraculous order. Th
horses ran down through Main street
scattering the wood as they went, unit
they brought up in Mr.. Fassett's yard
Neither the team or the wagon sutfere
much injury. Mr.. Bates was taken hom
the same day.
