ern Central Railroad, resulting In the death Of
one man and the serious injury Of three others.

John Hobbs while returning in one-hors wagon
from wight's store, above cockeysviile, attempted
10 cross the railroad track at the point named just
as y north bound freight train was approaching.
The hagman did all he could 10 stop them bat
they continued on and just as they reached the
centre of the track the engine struck the wagon,
demolishingi u and throwing the men out. zimmef-
man, who was driving, had his right arm disio-
Gated and received serious scalp wound Evans
was also badly cut about the head and received .
number Of serious bruises which rendered him un-
conscious for n time. lie fell between the tracks
and remained there until the train passed. Kites

Internal injuries which may result In his death.
Ills right arm was amputated some years ago,

tation. lie leaves wife and three children liv-

Raspeburg Is situated on the Baltimore and Jc.

years ago n German named Henry Raspe settled
here with his wife and one son. Having very

which possessed few conveniences. Since that
time the improvement here has been very marked,
rejecting credit upon the enterprising people who
are located here and in the vicinity.
We have q very excellent public school, with an
attendance Of about rs pupils, taught by Miss
Ida Tsrrington and Miss Mollie Foreman. both

from coming into the county to extinggish hres.
A. meeting Of the Fire Commissioners last week

paratus beyond the city lmits, TO aid In the ex-
tinguishment of fires and
