FATAL ACCIDEN T.
CHARLES MORRISON KILLED By
A M. @. FREIaHT TRAIN.
whiskey and Hard Cider Score
Another Victim.

Last Friday evening the friends and
neighbors of John King, of the town.
ship Of Rush were invited 10 his
home for social party and dance.
About eighty five persons responded
to the invitation, gathering at Kings
early in the evening and remaining
until nearly daylight. Among others
present was Charles Morrison, of
henderson, a brother of Thomas
Morrison who was killed about a year
ago at the Henderson school house.
Morrison remained at Kings until
after daylight the next morning and
lett for home in half drunken con-
dition. Instead of going home by
the road way he started for the rail
road track, intending probably to 60
up the track to the village. Just as
he reched the track he fell and was
doubtless unable 10 rise. About this
time (6.2o) a special freight train
came along, striking Morrison on
the right side of the head injuring
him so that he died Sunday.
Coroner Retain summoned jury
and held an inquest on Tuesday, and
from the testimony we condense the
following facts: The engineer testi,
fed that he saw Morrison laying with
his head just on the track at the rail
road crossing that he had whistled
for the crossing and at once whistled
for the brakes. and stopped the train
as soon as possible backed up and
found that Morrison had been struck
throwing him around lengthwise OF
the track: that he was put into the
way car and taken to Henderson and
a doctor summoned. Drs. Perkins
and Hume, after making a post NOR
tenn examination, testified that his
skull was fractured and that this was
the cause of death. Some Of The
boys who attended the dance swore
that Morrison took bottle of whisky
to the dance with him which he OBJ
tanned at the village of Henderson;
that during the night some one went
DaCh W AlCuoCl oOi anu ODtdliCd ODC
or two pint bottles more of whisky;
that Morrison drank from these bot
ties, that he also drank hard cider
that had been stolen from Patrick
Rourk's cellar, and that he became
intoxicated although not boisterous.
These are the facts in briet. They
show that some one lin Henderson is
violating the law by::selling intoxic A.
ing liquors. Steps will doubtless be
taken to punish the guilty parties.
Levi P. Oldfeld appeared at the
inquest in behalf of the M. G. road
and conducted the examination in
a very satisfactory manner, trying TO
bring ont just the facts in the case
Charles Morrison was young man
just I'll years old, industrious and
well spoken of. His death was a
terrible blow to his aged father and
the family. Funeral services were
conducted Tuesday by a Disciple
minister and attended by large con.
course of people.

In Gemoriam.

Our community was much sad
dened last Friday to learn that Miss
Susie N. Swain, eldest daughter Of
Prof. A. ]. Swain, Supt. of our city
schools, was dead. 1t seems on the
Saturday preceding her death, she
was taken suddenly i'll with hemorhage
Of the lungs, which was repeated sew
eral times on that dav, and the day
following. This with other COM
plica,ions followed until Friday noon,
when she brea,hed her last.
Miss Swain was young lady Of
rare moral accomplishments, and was
highly esteemed by those who had
the pleasure Of her acquaintance.
Born in Albany, N. Y, Feb. 7,
1868, she was nearly 40 years of age
at the time of her death.
Her mother died when she was
only I6 years ofage, and since then she
has had mothers care over her two
younger sisters and brother.
She entered the class Of 'S8, in
the High School, when she came to
this city to reside, and prosecuted
her studies with much interest and
pleasure.
Her death has cast gloom over
her home, her schoolmates, her teach
er and her many friends in the church.
Some years ago she became com
municant of the Protestant Episcopal
church with her mother, and when she
came to this city, connected herself
with that church here.
She also Joined the Y. c. A. of the
Baptis, church and gave some of her
time to the work of their christian
organization.
Her funeral took place from the
Church Of Christ in this city Sunday
afternoon. Rev. DR.. Conover con.
Quoted the services Rev. ]. Donnelly
made some remarks relative to her
religious character and named as some
Of her traits of character a strong re-
ligious spirit, remarkable degree of
unselfshness and maturity of christ
ian growth and spiritual attainment.
Miss Swain made religion morally
beautiful and attractive. She
adorned the doctrine Of her Saw.
Jour"
AS we think of her pure and noble
life; her devotion to her father and
family, her conservation to Christ
and his service, her symmetry of char
acter, we cannot but believe that the
fragrance of her short and useful life
will be felt still among those who
learned to love her for her real worth.
A FRIEND.
