A MIRAUULOUs ESCAPE.
Two citizens of the Ninth ward I'm
Deadly Peril.

From yeserday's Every Evening, --..
Thompson Simmons, living on Four
teeuth street bslow Railroad avenue, and
William Ashley, who resides on Thir-
taenth street, block away from the
Simmons domicile, had 9 miraculous
escspe from death to day.
Simmons, who Is q carter, came to town
this morning after load Of corn and
after he and Ashley had stored II in his
stable, which is just back Of his resi-
denoe, they started to return to the city.
To reach town they had TO GROSS the P =,
W. & B. railroad at FourtseE th street, and
they had barely gotten "pon the railroad
tracks when the express mail, due here
from Philadelphia az 10 06 O'Clock, came
laundering along. To turn back their
team was impossible and to stand still or
go forward was 70 court death.
The occupants Of the vehicle
werssalmost paralyz'd with terror they
knew not what to do. Before they could
make an effort at escape the train was
upon them and TO the few persons who
Jaw their peril It looked like they were
doomed. z. ..-... .....
The train drew nearer and nearer, and
in few seconds the engine struck one
horse and hurled it to the ground. where
it lsy about q minute, writhipR IN
agony, and then IL died. The other beast
was thrown several feet up into the air,
and when 1t fell to the earth IL was q
corpse. When the animals were struck
the nhaft snapped and the wagon In
which Mr.. Simmons and Mr.. Ashley
aat, remained standing upon the railroad
| L. 49, t.,1n al
Although brakes were applied promptly
the train could not be stopped until
It had gotten between Eleventh and
end Twelfth streets. As soon as It halted
the conductor jumped eff and ran up tc
the crossing at which the acct
dent occurred. but asoertaiDinp
that nobody had bsen killed he continued
his train on to the city. Mr.. Simmons
had one hand slightly injured, but Mr.
Ashley was not hurt.
The accident was witnessed by George
| Boulden, Robert Hammond, Mary Cad
dell and Mrs Simmons. They are posi-
tive that DO bell was IuDg mol
| whistle blown until the train hat
gotten within Is feet of the crossing. Thu
shoes Of one OF the horses, It is said, wer'
knocked from the animals feet auC
hurled seveTsl roads into lot. Ga,
horse was horribly mAnRlsd, it's entrail
prctrudiug from its body and scattering
over the ground. .=-..-
Several persons who were interviewed
by a representative OF RvERY EVENING
said the train was running at the rate .
from 80 to 40 miles an hour.
Mr.. Simmons estimates his loss a
about $500 and will look to the RAILROAD
company for damages.
There ia no safety gate at the Four
teenth strest crossing, although oitlzen
of the Ninth ward have pstitioped Cit,
Council to place one there. A mau Wa
killed there last summer.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Oct. 15.-Notbiog has
been resolved to caspgs the ,stimates
made last night, Complete returns have
been received from 20 counties The
reports were never so prompt before.
This indicates that there were but lew
scratched tickets.
A great deal Of mystery surrounds the
Prohibition vote and upon this and the
Withholding Of reports from few conn.
ties the Democrats base the hope
OF cutting down the Republican
msjority below 1900. The con-
test for Congress in the Third
district is very close, but as Morey, the
Republican candidate, runs ahead Of his
ticket 1872 votes inc Clermont county,
which makes a change Of over 500 votes
in favor of the Republican,, his friends
claim his election.
The indications are that Johnson, Re-
publioRn candidate for supreme c,urt
judge, has mRjority OF 600 in Hamil-
ton cOuaty, and that he hiss run ahead of
the other csndidates, notwithstanding
the opposition Of the liquor interest. II
this ia confirmed it will show that the
temperance Democrats scratched their
own candidate and voted for Johnson.
