Lincoln and George Harding.
lGath, in Cincinnati EnouirerJ


 In the case of the Mccormick reaper, the leading lawyers were stanton and George Harding. It became necessary to have lawyer resident in Illinois. These parties knew of no lawyer out there but Mir Arnold, who afterward was Mir Lincoln's biographer They found that he was engaged on the op- posite side of the case Inquiry was made of Elihu Washburne, in congress whether there was a man capable of talk ing hold of such an important suit Per haps no patent ease ever came up prior to that time of such importance--it was to test the cardinal invention bv which the vast fields of wheat and other grain were to be moved by machine
 Washburne said there was man named Lincoln at Springfield H., who had considerable reputation in the state. He was secured and he came on to Cincinnati with brief Stanton and Harding saw tall, dark, uncouth man, who did not strike them as of any ac- count, and indeed they gave him hardly any chance. Stanton was as civil with him as he afterwards was with some of the generals. Mir. Harding said to me on one occasion that to remember how Lincoln received Stanton's asperities and sneers, and how kind he was never theless. was one of the most touching things in his memory. Neither of these lawyers gave the country lawyer any chance to speak of He received his humble fee, and with that, it is said, he was enabled to acquire the leisure to have his memorable debate with Doug las
 Time passed along, and this uncouth man received the nomination of great national convention and was elected president. A feeling of chagrin proba- bly passed over the two great lawyers that the man they might have made friend was to exercise such enormous power. After Lincoln had been inaugurated MT. Harding thought he would call upon him. Lincoln took him by the hand with warmth and joy. and said: "I do not know whether you voted for me or not but hope you did. 1 always made up my mind that l was going to do something for you and Stanton anyhow" !" So he offered MT. Harding the office of commissioner of patents, and he made Stanton secretary of war.

A NARROW ESCAPE,
A Wagon Containing Two Men Hit
BY an Engine
At the Bridgeport DepOt---Both Occupants
Seriously Hurt---Accident at
Benwood,

Yesterday while the Martins Ferry yard
engine, No. "a, drawing train No. 90, on
the c. 4 ?. railroad, was stopped at the
Bridgeport depot, Samuel Crider and Kick
McAlister, Of Lloydsville, undertook to
drive from the bridge across the track.
Just as the team
CROSSED TIE TRACK
the engineer received his signal to start,
and rot noticing the wagon, which was
still on the track, started the locomotive.
The pilot strack the wagon, lifting it from
the ground and pushing it about
twenty-five feet down the track.
The only damage done the
wagon wss the breaking Of one spoke,
as the engineer applied the air brakes at
once and stopped The train. When the
men in the wagon saw the train coming
they both
JUMPED FOR THEIR LIVES.
McAist er got off with a sprained arm,
while Mr.. Crider less fortunate, struck his
hip on q cross tie and injured himself Sc.
verely. He was taken TO the house OF his
brother, John Crider, where DR.. j. NJ.
Todd, the railway surgeon did all in his
power TO alleviate his suferings. Last
night it was reported that his injuries
though severe, We net necessarily OF such
q nature as TO cripple him.
