William Bates. a cooper, formerly en-
ployed in the Belmont shop, in this city.
was killed near Franklin, o., by train on
the B. d o. road. Since the strike he has
been in Bellaire, and yesterday morning
was walking home from Warnock' Station,
where he had gone to look for work. When
near Franklin Station, four miles west OF
Bellaire, passenger train No. came along.
The engineer noticed him and whlstled IN
ample time for him to have left the track
had he heard the warning notes. But he
he didn't and the train plunged along at
rapid rate. reversing too late. He was
struck and hit 80 hard that he was still
clinging to the flag rod when the engine
stopped. One leg was broken below the
knee and the mans whole body was bruised
and mashed so that the attending Physici-
ans have no hope of his recovery. He was
placed in the baggage car, his head resting
on one of the coach seats and brought 10
Bellairc. He was too farigone to tell where
he came from and talked incohcrently OF a
wife and family. So unintelllgible was ms
talk that it was impossible to learn more
tban that his wife was in Bcllaire. He lin
eered on in great agony until l o'clock,
when death released.him.
His family, SAYS the independent is in the
Greatest distress. They had a little money
laid by, but sickness had almost depleted
their purse The woman said her husband
was hardly able to work, but that he could
not bear the idea of being in want and
dreaded starvation even in this land OF
plenty. So Monday they came to Bellaire to
her brother, Mr. South, who agreed TO keep
Mrs. Bates and two OF her children until
the Oldest boy and the father could find
work. They went to WarnockS on Tues
day, and the boy found work with James

that ncighborhood, who has also taken one
of the children to raise. Leaving the boy
there, Mr.. Bates started to come back to
Bellaire. il is su ppOsed, to inform his wife
of his intentions, when he was run down
by q train. Mr.. Bates is said to be good
worker, and kind husband and father and
the accident this morning is a sad blow to
tbe family, that is now distributed among
strangers, much to the regret OF the
parcntS.

RoCRHILL REUNION.
A Seventeen Anniversary Celebrated
Under Green Trees.

On the oath of August seventy years ago,
in place of the present handsome little
Presbyterian Church at Rockhill, about
three miles from Bellaire, stood a log house
in which the usual services were held.
While the nation was engaged in its second
great strife with the mother country, and
in the midst of the throes of war, this
church was founded. Since then most OF
the original members have passed away
and their grandchildren and great grand
children worship in the building wh,cn
succeeded the first structure. YESTERDAY
was the SEVENTEEN anniversary OF the found
inc of the church, and the day was most
handsomely and appropriately celebrated
at the church. At least 500 people, includ-
inn citizens of this city and the surround-
inc country. assembled in and about the
church and listened to the interesting eere-
monies. The programme was conducted oy
the pastor, Rev. Black, and was as IoloWS;

All of the addresses and papers, including
the letters from abSentees, teemed with IN
terest, and the musical part OF the pro
eramme was especially enjoyable. one
feature OF the latter was the old fashioned
interlining, revived in memory OF the early
DAYS of the church.
In 1876 the first church was removed to
give place to a better, and OF the rafterS
seven canes were made and presented to OLD
members. They were received by Messrs'
John Cunningham, VIM. Wise, John
Harris, Joshua and Andrew keyser, Robert
Merritt and VIM. Thomas. Appropriate
remarks by Rev. Black accompanied the
presentation.
The exercises began at 10 o'clock and
lasted until s. At noon an intermission OF
an hour and a half was had, which was
pleasantly spent at the two long tables
spread under the trees. The dinner was
bounteous and tempting, and was one OF
the most enjoyable features OF the day.
The pastors of the Rockhill Church aud
the order of their pastoratc were as follows;
Revs. Mitchell, Holiday, MOtfatt, fltzger-
aid, Lafferty, Lane and Black, the last
named being the present pastor. Nine
ministers have been sent out from the
church.
