The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-05-26

Being absent part of last week we did
not learn of the safe robbery of Messrs.
Cook & Conger, grain dealers on Main
street, Eaton, until after our paper had
gone to press. The thieves entered the
building where the safe was located by
prying two doors off their hinges, drilled
a hole close to the door knob, filed it
with powder and touched it off, splitting
the door in two. Their booty consisted
only of about $40 in cash. No clue to
the perpetrators, who were evidently
professionals in the business.
Rev. Thos. Harrison, the boy preach
er, harrangued the people of this place
in the NJ. E. Church, in the morning and
evening of Saturday last. From all ac-
counts he did not quite meet the expec-
tations of the large concourse of our peo-
pie that went to hear him. He seemed
to be about as deeply interested in gath
ering in the stamps as in the preach he
was called to make. That is the way of
the world now. The love of the almighty
dollar overleaps all other considerations.

Mr.. JOHN KIsLING, one of our most
prosperous and substantial farmers, liv-
ing six miles north of Eaton, died on
Sunday morning last, after a long and
serious illness, aged about 65 years. Mr..
Kisling was a man of unspotted charac-
ter-honorable in his intercourse and
dealings-aHd stood well with all his
neighbors and acquaintance. He leaves
considerable property as a legacy to his
wife and seven children, all accumulated
by a life of industry, honesty and frugal
ity. A more lengthy notice will be fur
nished for next weeks issue,
Mr.. CHARLES ScHLENKER, ST., Eaton's
enterprising jeweller, was married in
Hamilton city on the 10th inst, by Rev.
Trebbel, of the Lutheran Church, to
Miss HANNAH PRTrcHER. He returned
to Eaton the same day with his bride and
went on with his business as if nothing
unusual had occurred, and on Friday
~evening our Band gave the parties at his
residence a fine musical serenade, which
was acknowledged by handsome enter
tainment of wine, cigars, &c. The boys
enjoyed it well. We wish CHARLEY and
his new bride all the joys that a happy
welded life can produce.

Two bridge accidents occurred in Pre-,
Bile county last week. One on the State
line west of Eaton, by the breaking
through Of an Engine, in which two men
were badly, but not dangerously scalded,
and the other on the county road run.
ming from New Paris to Brinley's Station,
on White Water. While Willis Parker
and Charles Nogle were passing over this
bridge with teams loaded with saw logs
it gave way. Parker being ahead o
Nogle escaped with few slight bruises
but Nogle, team and all went to the bot
tom, some ten or twelve feet distance, il
which he had his skull crushed and 9th
erwise injured, killing one of the horses
and completely wrecking the wagon. The
young man died in a short time after thu
accident. The parents of the young maj
reside in New Paris. The bridge ha'
been considered unsafe for some time
and we learn was under contemplation
for repair by our County Commissioners
1t is said Parker advised the young mai
to give him time to get over the structure
before going on with his team, but in
stead OF doing so followed right on, driv
ing rather off the main passage, which j
correct, the unfortunate affair may be at
tributed partly to carelessness. TIL,
Commissioners have proposed to pay TO
the horse and wagon, but whether tina
will be accepted as satisfactory to tn
parents of the unfortunate young man
we cannot say at present.
