The cast of the :" Ticket-of-Leave Man."
to be performed at the benefit this evening,
has been strengthened by the addition Of
Mrs. G. Y. Benjamin, who has very kindly
volunteered to take the part Of Mrs. Will
loughby. Her appearance in this role will
be a great addition to the play, as she is
acknowledged to be a fine elocutionist. The
play will be well placed on the stage, and
the distribution Of the characters we'll Sc
lected. Miss Woodthorpe as "Sam." will
no doubt make an immense hit. Mrs. T.
J. Maupin, as the gentle MAY Edward"
is well adapted for the part. The other
characters are in good hands. Professor
Wedeles has volunteered, and will conduct
the orchestra during the evening. 1t is
the first performance of the ''Ticket-of-
Leave Man" here. Eureka Hall ought to
be crowded. Seats are selling rapidly.

A SHOCKING



We are panied to record a terrible acct
dent to Mr.. AL. Kicker, conductor OF the
freight train Of the Eureka and Palisade
railroad. The sad affair occurred just be-
low the depot at about 5 o'clock last even
ing. 1t appears that Mr.. Kicker was in the
act of u~ncoupling a car. The brakeman
or engineer mistook the signal and started
before the car had been detached. The
unfortunate man tried to extricate himself
from his perilous position. but was not sue
cessful. His left leg was caught and passed
over by both wheels, grinding the ankle joint
almost to a jelly. The limb also sustained
a compound fracture q few inches higher
up. He was taken to the depot, and DR..
Rockman sent for in all possible haste.
On arriving the Doctor found that ampu-
| tation was the only course to pursue. DR..
Chamblin was thereupon called to assist
| in the operation. Mr.. Kicker was suffer
| ing intense agony, but bore up manfully,
and readily consented to the terrible ordeal
| Of amputation. He was placed under the
| influence Of chloroform, and in about
one hour the operation had been COM
pleted. The injured member was taken
| off about midway between the knee and
ankle joints. The sufferer speedily revived,
and appeared as cheerful as could be ex-
| pected under such trying circumstances,
and his physicians are sanguine that he
will pull through all right. 1t will require
from six weeks to two months for the limb
| to heal.
The case is especially sad. Mr.. Kicker
has q young and devoted wife, the couple
having been married but a few months.
| Mrs. Kicker, quite naturally, is almost
frantic with grief over the misfortune Of
her husband, who is quite young and just
| starting in life. Mr.. Kicker, with remark
able fortitude and consideration, refused to
have his wife informed Of the accident I'M
til the injured limb had been amputated.
He was then removed to his residence.
The right log was strained, but not seri-
ously injured by the accident.
MI, al. Kicker is brother Of Ed. Kicker,
killed by Chartz some two years ago.
