Death Of Richard Ii. FOard.

On Thursday last, at 1911 o'clock mid
night, Mr.. Richard II. Foard, a native
and well-known resident of EIlton, died
at the home of his mothcr-jn-iaw Mrs.
VIM. Bowen, about three miles north
west of this town, after an illness OF only
n day or two of pneumonia. Only a week
before his death Ir. Foard was in Elk
ton in his usual health and in good spirits,
and his was about the last death we ex-
pected to hear announced. Mr.. Foard
has been a resident of Elkton all his life
with the exception of brief residence
in the west some twelve or fifteen years
ago. During his residence here he was
engaged i'll several business ventures,
notably as one Of, the firm of Foard &
Bowen, general merchants. in the build
ing now occupied by Mr.. r. G. Reese
known as the Bee Hive" on Main
street in the hollow. Deceased was a
man of atTable and pleasing manners, one
calculated to make friends with little
exertiou. He was about forty years of

| channels through the adjoining meadow
above the bridge from twenty to near one
! hundred feet apart, and each of them nearly
as wide as the original stream. These all
concentrate i'll one just above the damaged
| bridge, and in this ncighhorhood the foot
way should have been put up, but as we
remarked, the engineer chose the other
route aud instead of one put up four
bridges. First the tail race is crossed upon
a narrow foot board, laid upon log, with
a single hand rail also of boards. Then you
pass through grove of young trees and
over a foot-way about twenty inches wide
with straight up and down rails or fences
upon each side, so close together that it
would be dangerous for Il lady wearing Il
valuable dress to cross, as the side fences
would catch and tear it. Then comes an
other of exactly the same class, the logs
upon which they are laid being so full OF
elasticity that it is really difficult to walk
upon them. Two more of much the same
class are to be crossed further on, the pedes-
trian having walked six or eight times the
distance he should be compelled to walk to
get over this stream. This piece of work is
Que of the NEST remarkable that we have
any knowledge of, and the builder and
planner should certainly be presented with
a leather medal. Oae Of the most striking
features about these most remarkable
bridges are the approaches or way by which
the bridge proper is reached. These consist
in every instance of Il simple plank, eight
to ten inches wide reaching fro:n the
ground at an angle of forty-tive degrses to
the bridge. To a timid person it is quite a
feat to walk this plank. 1t is almost like
performing on the tight wire These planks
are not fastened IN any manner, they
simply rest enc end upon the ground the
other on HE foot Hoe

A BRAVE YOUNG LADY.
Her Prompt Action Prevents a
Terrible Accident.

The accident upon the p. w. & 3. rail
road on Thursday last, by which twelve
Or fifteen cars were totally wrecked and
much valuable property destroyed, oc
cured just at the foot of the lawn Of the
residence of Mr.. DeGoy, at Belle Hill,
close to which the tracks run, and not
hundred yards from the house. When
the accident occurred his daughter, Miss
Jennie DcGoy, was standing upon the
lawn looking at the long train of cars
gliding rapidly down the grade and was
startled by suddenly seeing them crash
together in a mass telescopng one an
other and piling up confused mass of
broken timbers, iron work, wheels, trucks
&C., completely blocking and tearing up
both tracks for considerable distance
At the same instant she observed another
train coming down rapidly upon the
wreck and not a hat mile away, the
crew of the wrecked train were too much
dazed and excited to think of anything
but their own condition at the time, in
deed they could not sec the approaching
train as sharp curve interviewed, but
Miss DeGoy, from the elevated position
she occupied, had clear view of the
track both ways. The saw that to save
the approaching train prompt action was
necessary, and she was equal to the oc-
casion, snatching off her red peticoat she
ran rapidly up the track, and using the
garment as a signal attracted the atten
ton of the engineer who stopped his
train just in the nick of time. There is
but little doubt that second accident
with loss of life would have occurred,
had rot Miss DeGoy observed the sp
preaching train, and acted with tho adj
nlirable presence ot mind and good judg-
ment she displayed.
