ALLIANCE Mrs. Eliza Moore, colored woman
residing near Limaville, had been to Alliance to
trade, accompanied by a little grandson about
five years Of age. On the way home they attempt
ed to cross the c. & P. track where 1t intersects
the Lexington road, Being in covered carriage
and the day being quite windy, she did not hear
the mail train from Cleveland, which was nearing
the point, The engine strnck the carriage lifting
it with its occupants upon the COW catcher, and
killed the horse. AS soon as the train could be
stopped the woman and child were picked up
when 1t was found she was fatally injured. Her
skull was crushed in and she was badly bruised
otherwise, The child was not so seriously hurt
apparently, The unfortunate victims were lifted
into the baggage car and, brought to Alliance
where medical aid was summoned. Nothing
could be done for the woman, and she died in a
few hours. At this writing the boy is still alive
although 1t is feared he has received internal in
juries, yet hopes are entertained Of his recovery
Mrs. Moore was widow woman, industrious and
respectable, aged about afty.six years, She was
quite well known in Alliance where she has
done her marketing for many years A strange
coincidence of the case is, that her mother was
also killed by being run over by the cars at sa
lem Columbiana county, Ohio, about eight years
ago.-ReUie1O.

of the Oldest settlers now living on the One Leg
Creek and has lived longer in the valley than
any other one at the present time, possesses more
accurate knowledge of the early settlement of
this section OF country than any other man now
living, remembers well when the One Leg was a
navigab!e stream from its mouth to the Dining
Fork, and when Rattiken's Mil (now Smiths)
was built The citizens along the valley had
small water crafts which they rowed up to the
mill carrying their grain to mil, several neigh.
bors uniting and taking their griss at once, and
thereby saving time. The Judge is a man pos.
sessed of strong physical constitution aud strict
ly temperate habits and has lived to a good old
age The fire Of his eye has not abated, He is a
mau of unusual determination and energy, con.
scientious and scrupu GUS In all his dealings and
associations with his fellow man and sometimes,
in Scripture language, "rebukes sharply" and
with all a true friend and philanthrOpist.-
