An accident occurred at the Base Ball
Park near this city yesterday afternoon.
The first of the Ohio League games was
being played between the Logans OF this
city and Riycrsides of Portsmouth. About
three hundred people were on the grand
stand, one-,hird being ladies. At the
end of the second-inning crack
ling was heard in the rear Of
the building and Immediately after.
ward the entire structure col
lapsed with tremendous crash. A scene
of indescribable confusion ensued. Pale.
faced, horror-stricken men rushed to the
rescue of the unfortunates in the wreck.
Cool-headed men instantly set about re-
leasing those buried in the ruins, and in
few minutes they had ali been liberated
or succeeded in liberating themselves.
The most exaggerated reports reached
the city and in a few moments u stream OF
hacks, carriages and people rushed to the
ball park.
THE INJURED.
Following is list of those most serI-
ously injured. Fortunately none were
killed, although some may die:
James Roberts, of Portsmouth, back
badly sprained; internal hurts
Clifford Douglass, bruises and inter-
nal.
DIR. ]. M. Pauley, serious internal in
juries.
Jerry 0'Keife, the same.
Burt Mitchell, badly hurt about the
head
Jos. Mcclure, ugly scalp wound; skull
fractured.
John Hippy, leg broken.
Warren Chapman, ankle broken.
Frank X. Gilmore, sprain of right thigh
and injuries to abdomen
Miss Clenc Faus, the only lady injured,
scalp wound nearly encircling the back
part at the head.
To add to the horrors of the affair
horses attached to carriages in the field
came near stampeding, and but for the
strenuous exertions of few cool men
another catastrophe might have trod on
the heels of this one.
The total casualties foot up about fifty.
The greatest wonder Is that some one
was not killed. The timber used in the
stand was very light, but the carpenter,
Nose Miller, In turning it over to the
club said he would stake his reputation
as carpenter on its security. That he
did not do his work properly has had ter
rible demonstration.

Two years afterwards. he was re-
nominated at Weatherford, without OPP

served his district, that there arose a
common demand for his reelection.
