CRUSHED FOOT
A DANGEROUS PLAYGROUND!
A LITTLE Boy CRIPPLED For LIFE.

Graham Halterman is little boy, some
six years DID,, whose parents reside near
the G. W. s. B. Depot, and whose father
works at Fulton Furnace. This little
fellow, like many others would occasion
ally play about the railroad track, al
though children are not, we believe, per-
mitted to loiter about the Depot.
On last Friday Evening, shortly after
a train had passed, some men found little
Graham by the side of the track, with
one foot terrible crushed. 1t is not
known just how he got hurt, but the foot
must have been caught by the outside, or
face of passing wheel, and dragged off
the iron, as the bones were not crushed.
There is torn place near the front part
of the ankle, then from the middle of the
foot-an top and bottom-to the toes, all
is scraped as cleanly as could be, taking
off the big toe, and the ends of others.
Drs. J. B. johnson and B. f. Kitchen
were called and dressed up the injured
foot as well as possible, but even if the
foot does not have to come off, it will
cripple the boy for life.
A friend informs us that while passing
the scene of the occurrence on Saturday,
he saw some little boys playing in the
same locality, and one of them picked up
the ends of little Graham's toes, and had
them in his hands-a sickening sight.

PURCHASING INFLUENCEI
How FLOATING VOTE STATESMAN
WAS PURCHASED

The revival of political work, and the
campaigning of the different candidates
brings to the memory of the old-timers,
many incidents of campaigns when there
was more noise, and when feeling ran a
great deal nearer fever heat, than now.
At a gathering. few evenings ago, of a
number of men who had taken active
part in politics in past years, the subject
of capturing the floating VOTE" came up
for discussion, when a gentleman present
described the purchase @ of voter, as
he witnessed it, some few years ago.
The voter-who is well known in this
region-came to town quite early in the
morning. He was known to generally
vote the Democratic ticket, but the Re
publicans got after him, and some enthu-
siast went so far as to give him pint of
whisky. But he hesitated about voting,
and by the time that pint was gone, the
Democrats got hold of him, and gave him
another pint. Still he hesitated. The
Republicans got him another pint, and
he and his cronies drank it. Then the
Democrats got him again, and gave him
the fourth pint. They now remained
with him, urging him to vote, he would
not do it. He kept on making excuses,
and finally permitted the polls to close,
and went home bowling drunk, at the
expense of both parties.
He had voted the straight Democratic
ticket, early in the morning.

WALKERS WALK ;!
DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS At One
STEP.
The PAVEMENT HARDER THAN THE HEAD,

Parties standing near the entrance to
the office of DUNCAN & McClung, on last
Saturday evening, just before supper
time, were surprised to see man alight
upon his head on the pavement, at the
foot of the stairs. This was Aaron Walk
er. He was knocked apparently dead,
and it was thought for time that he
would not come to. But after he had
been taken back upstairs, he became con-
SciOuS again-at least as conscious as he
had been before the fall-and was short
ly able to try to make his way home. He
had taken step or two at the top of the
stairs, and fallen the rest of the way,
striking the pavement a crushing blow
[crushing on his head,l which seemed
enough to have broken a cast-iron man.
1t will not do for Aaron to tell his
friends, as the little boy did, that he 'al-
ways comes down stairs that way" for
about two such comings would settle the
business for him. Aaron is good-heart-
ed fellow, and we feel an interest in his
welfare. Therefore we advise that here
after when he wants to come down those
stairs, he shall get board and slide down,
and the stopping will not be so sudden.
AS the Irishman said, when he fell from
a building, ''it was not the fallin', but the
suddin stoppin, that hurt"

A FADED ROSEI !
1t VaniSheth, but The Cruel Sheriff Bringeth
It Back Again!

Some weeks ago George w. Rose was
enjoying the rights, privileges and immu-
mites of free American citizen. Georges
habitation was in Milton Township in
this County. He was somewhat unlike
the original George W., for this George
w. can not only tell lie, but he can write
one. Isaac G. Long, being one of the
Trustees of Milton Township, sometimes
sent orders for goods for those needing
relief, to Vandivoort's Store, in Wellston.
One day this George w. Rose came to
the Store with small order for goods.
This order was signed by Mr.. Long-or at
least Mr.. James Vandivort, who was in
the Store, thought it was. A short time
afterward George w. came in with anoth-
er order, when Vandivort, wishing to
feel secure in the matter, got him to write
his name on the back of the order, when
it was discovered that the signature was
forged, but this discovery was not made
until Rose had chance to depart.
Sheriff Cherington is ever on the lookout
for law-breakers, and the manner in
which he hustled Rose back to Jackson,
is evidence that the grass does not grow
under his feet. He has been watching
for the Rose which had thus suddenly
vanished in all its sweetness, leaving
nothing but its thorn, and on last Thurs
day evening received telegram from
Marshal Munshower, of Ironton, saying
that he had plucked the Rose, and taken
it in out of the frosts and storms of earth.
On Friday morning Sheriff Cherington
rode horseback to Berlin, catching an ear
ly train on the Narrow Gauge, going
through to Ironton, securing his prisoner,
coming down on the Scioto Valley Road
to Sciotoville, thence home on the Accom-
mediation, getting home about half past
three in the afternoon. That is what we
call pretty quick work. On Friday morn
ing, Rose was in prison in Ironton. On
Friday afternoon he was complacently
reposing in the Jackson Jail
Rose says he is guilty-but the officers
knew as much before they arrested him.
Men may not gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles, but they may plant Roses
in prison-houses.

TALKS WITH MINERS p!
OPINIONS AND IMPRESSIONS OF MEN
WHO WORK UNDERGROUND

One Thursday evening number OF
miners, mechanics and business men
were discussing the subject of mine in
spection, in this place, when some one
asked we'll known miner how he liked
the new Inspector, Bancroft. 81 don't
know, said he, 'the man has not put in
an appearance here, and the fact that
some of our mines are still running is ev-
idence that he has not. If he comes, and
knows what a mine ought to be, he'll or
der some of them stopped at once. There's
one or two of the mines in which the air
is so bad that I have seen several men
actually crasoz out night, being so over
come as to be unable to walk"
Then the subject of our home candi-
dates for Mine inspector was mentioned
and the merits of this man, and that man
discussed. why" said miner, "our
candidate here, George B. is the most
competent Mine Superintendent in all
this region. He has the best air in his
mine. He would have made an excellent
Mine Inspector"
"How about -, who was also a can
didate ?" was asked.
ooh, he has dug coal good while, but
he would not do for Mine Inspector, at
all. Just as soon as he was ap-
pointed, he would put on white shirt,
with the bosom starched so stiff that he
he couldn't bend loaC enough to get into the
bd7lk!'
There has been good deal of feeling
stirred up by the appointment of the new
Inspector, which is not favorable to him,
which may all disappear when the miners
s ee him, and know him. We sincerely
trust that the new man, Bancroft, may
prove one of the most careful in looking
after the safety and comfort of the men
engaged in the mines

It's A COALED Day!
WHEN A STOUT MAN HAS TO
STEAL HIS COALi
COAL THIEF CHASED BY LADIES!

Mrs. Baird, widow lady living in
Kahn's Addition, has noticed that
her family were burning coal wonderful
ly fast, of late. A little dog, kept about
the place, has kept up a wonderful bark
ing of nights, but not much attention
was paid to this, as it was thought that
he was only indulging in the noisy amuse-
ment of small dogs generally.
On last Wednesday evening, however,
the enthusiastic pup was unusually de-
monstrative, and carried on to such an
extent that daughter of Mrs. Baird
went out to the coal house-toward
which the dog seemed directing his at
tention-to inspect the cause of the trou-
BILE. AS she stepped to the door she OBJ
served a man on the inside, when she
was not long in letting that neighbor-
hood know of the discovery.
Mrs. Baird's sons were up street, yet the
ladies determined to capture the fellow
in the coal house, and discover who he
was. A neighbor woman came running
in, with a revolver, other ladies gathered
in, and the thief, seeing himself about to
be surrounded, took his coal buckets and
rushed out, leaping the fence and taking
to his heels, with crowd of ladies in
close pursuit. Mrs. Hackett fired pistol
to scare the flying thief, the women
shouted, the dogs barked, and the thief
and his coal buckets made the iveliest
kind of time along the road. He got
away, but he doubtless thought there
was deal of fuss about little bit of
coal. He was like the old colored man,
down South, who was in neighbor's
chicken coop, with fine fat hen in his
hands, when binding flash of lightning
came, followed by deafening crash of
thunder He slammed the chicken down,
exclaiming: "'Pears to me like de Lord
maxim mighty sight O fuss bout one
ole henY

A Pleasant Party.

There are no better people in any COM
munity than Andrew Henson and fami-
ly, who reside in the edge of the corpor-
ate limits, on the Gallipolis road. Mr.
Henson is one of our best citizens, and
his family one of the most popular in
our midst It was but natural that on
last Wednesday night-the 44th birthday
of Mrs. Henson-the ladies of Jackson
should get up surprise party in honor
of the occasion. Early in the evening
large number of ladies and gentlemen as
sembled at the residence of Mr.. r. E. Col
| vin-next neighbor to Mr.. Henson-and
stormed the Henson residence in solid
phalanx.
Mrs. Henson's daughters had invited
number of their young lady friends in to
assist in serving refreshments, and their
feature of the evenings pleasure was
grand success. In fact, there was too
much to eat. 1t was asking too much to
require the guests to stow away the great
load of cake, ice cream, and other dainties.
There were no formalities-7no restraint.
Everybody gave themselves up to an
evening of enjoyment, and everybody sue
ceeded.
The party was complete surprise to
the good lady, and she returns thanks,

We can say from personal knowledge
that our numerous readers in Franklin

find "Dick" to be gentleman in every
