OLD. Killed by tho CaFs.

AT 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, q
boy about fourteen years OLD was killed
by the cars on the Valley Railway just
east of seneca street. He was playing
near a gang of men who Were loading
fiat cars with lumber. One of the
loaded cars was being pushed along
the track to where others were stand
ing, and had nearly reached them
when the lad attempted to run through
the lesseniDg gap. He miscalculated
the distance, however, and was caught
betw cen the drawheads. He fell to the
ground, and the rnen supposipg frsm
his appearance that he was only un-
conscious, carried him to a neighbor-
ing house, They there ascertain ed
that he was dead. No marks could be-
found on his body, the drawheads
having closed on the sUft part of his
Sabdomen. The corpse was taken TO
Hogan 81 Harris undertaking rooms,
and Jacob Brown, Of No. "a Merwin
street, was notified, with the supposi-
ton that the dead boy was his son.
Such was not the case, however, and
the body remained unidentified until
2 o'clock this morning, when Mr..
Newton, who lives at No. 40 Brown
well street, recognized it as the re-
nHluS Va LIS GWeINC- edI-o1u Sui "a s*IneS
Russell Newton. The lad, who worked
in barber shop at the corner OF Onta-
rio and Hursn streets, did not return
home il the evening. His father made
inquiries for him at the nearest police
station, and was sent TO the Hogan &
Harris undertaking rooms.-L Cieve-
leader, June IA.
Ths young lad was the son of Mr..
James Newton, who resided in this
village about ten years ago. His re-
mains were brought here on Friday

this issue. it is proposed to hold bas-
ket picnic on the coming Fourth OF
July, Of such people residing in this
vicinity as were residents of Ravenna
fifty or more years ago, with their fam
lilies, upon the Old Fair Grounds. At
the time this matter was first broached

such old residents would not reach
over a score or two, but further inquiry
and investigation shows that they
amount to something over an hundred
AS there is possibility that some
names may be overlooked that are en-
titled to be enrolled, it is hoped that
such persons or their friends will re-
port them to Mr.. A. A. Harris, who
was appointed to make up list of the
old residents to be read at the meeting
on the Fourth. All persons who were
residents of Ravenna fifty years Oh
| more ago, and their families, are re-

A surnriae rartho paraon.

On Friday evening, Juno 18th, while
| Rev. A. NJ. Hills and wife were at the
Church Parlors of the Congregational
Church, attending social, the people,
unbeknoWn to them, after supper re-
tired to the parsonage. A message
was sent to the larson and his wife at
s o'clock, informing them that some
body at home wished to see them.
They went home 81 innocent of all
knowledge of what awaited them as
babes in the woods. They found that
the people of their congregation had
taken possession and were behaving
about as they pleased. They had hung
a very beautiful lamp in the sitting
room and under it had loaded table
with silver and linen for table service,
aud beside it had placed an easy chair.
The surprised couple were seated, the
| wife in the big chair. when Mrs. Ly-
man Ward stepped forward, and in a
most felicitous speech, reminded the
pastor that he had completed ten years
of service among them, for which they
would give this token of appreciation.
A list of one hundred and eighty-twO
names of the donors was then handed
to the pastor and purse of money to
the wife. .- ..,
The value of the presents was above
$3.50. Long may such a Church be
blessed and prosper.

ItIOTOUs ITALIANS,
A Lancaster Contractors Experience Sii
Them.

A Lancaster Contractors Experience SIN
Them.
The proyerbial tendency Of the Italian
railroader to strike goes without saying,
and Mr.. James Stewart, the well known
railroad contractor of this city, who s
now engaged on work for the Baltimore "
Ohio company, near Wilmington, Del, has
a number of " dagoes " who have proved
no exception to the general rule. Ga
Monday morning 90 of these denizens of
sunny Italy, employed by Mr.. Stewart on
sections 32 and 80 struck, and marching
to an adjoining section endeayored by
threats to induce tho workmen there 10
quit also. Finding persuasion Of no avail
one of tho ringleaders of the rioters deib
erately drew knife and stabbed twice a
young Italian who had refused TO accom-
pany the strikers. The wounds, though
ugly, were not regarded as danger,u'.
The injured man gave the alarm aud
soon after five of the principal conspirators
were placed under arrest. To a Whining
ton Gazette reporter Mr.. Stewart said that
the Italian laborers appeared to have a
perfect mania for striking, and would
strike and return to work within a quarter
of an hour. llo attributed much of the
trouble to the fact that he was unable u
speak Italian and the men could not con.
verse in English, which rendered them
suspicious all the time. Mr.. Stewart said
it was the first time no had had anything
to do with Italian workmen, and it would
also DO the last.
