II was caught fairly by the current and
hurled to destruction amid the angry waves
below. The escape was nothing short OF
miracle. Numerous other things OF SIM
liar nature occurred and would be easier 10
read with interest than than TO peile'e
without mental reservation.
David Horn, q miner working at the new
Aurora mine, met with serious though
not necessarily fatal accident yesterday
He was driving a croSs-cut through from
his own room to the next one where the
Helmick boys worked and had Just cut
through and had thin piece of rib hang
ing. His croS-eut tapped Helmick s room
at the face and the Helmick's had NIB
shot loaded and ready to fire. Iney call-
ed through to Horn to warn him that they
were going to fire q shot, but he was out
and they lighted their squib and
moved off to place of safety,
and while the squib was burning
Horr came back into his place, and before
he could know his danger the shot eXpioa-
ed, knocking down Horr's coal and break
| ING two of his ribs, cutting him severely
about the head and otherwise severely IN
turing him. DR.. J. II. Brownheld was
called and rendered medical assistance.
| Horn will recover.
An alarm of fire was sounded Yesterday
at the noon hour and a great crowd OF peo-
nile rushed around aimlessly hunting for the
bIoze II was at William \. Jarrctts, ana
being slight was easily eXtingulshed with

Sim. Bright, our accommodating livery
mon while handling drummer's trunk
Yesterday let it fall accidentally upon his
toes He now carries his foot in an old over
shoe. and is patiently waiting for the nails

VIM. Edgell, of Harrison county, was
here Yesterday on business.
Squire Smith. of Boothsville, smiled one
of his broadcast smiles upon us on "eunes-
day. ,u
Politics continue to boom here. Inc
Democrats have put up ticket that SHOWS
no weak points, and the RepuDilcahs are
hard at work looking for good men to put

The call for the Republican convention
invites all people, without regard to age;
race. color, religion or previous poiitlca'
complexion. to come over into Macedonia
and help u.s. get the offices from the Dem
ocrats. This lets in Uncle Max tlcmlns
and Spenccr Sturm. But there's hard
rub here. From time immcmorlal these
two patriots have had IN itching for the
emoluments and salaries of office. Nearly
always one or both of them have been on
some ticket or other and both always
stand ready to be sacrificed. The Repub'
Iicans this time do not offer to dicker, but
simply offer to let other people support
Republicans for Office, if they will. Tins
kind of fusion will not suit the Sturm
crowd. They mean to fuse on themselves
or run wild But there is potent factor
with these politiciansior revenue only ana
il NAV fix things right i'll due time.
