About II o'clocksyesterday morning
the horse attached to Houser's delivery
wagon became frightened at the cars
on South Cherry street, and started off
on "a runaway. The driver was thrown
out and the horse continued its mad
run. The animal dashed up against a
buggy containing Mr.. Elbel, of the
Malleable Iron Works, and upset it,
throwing Mr.. Elbel out, the gentleman
striking on his head, cutting several
scalp wounds which bled quite pro-
fusely.
The horse attached to Mr.. Elbel's
buggy took fright, and wrenching him
self free from the vehicle, started off
but was caught by bystander. Hous-
er's horse ran up between two dirt
wagons which were standing side by
side, but the space between did not per-
NIT the buggy to pass through. The
horse tore himself free and ran on but
was headed off and soon caught. The
buggy was considerably damaged and
the harness is completely ruined.

Crystal Park.

A DEMOCRAT reporter made trip to
Crystal Park last night, and was sur
prised to see the progress which has
been made upon the site of the Mcleod
Works. The excavations for the base
ment are being pushed rapidly along,
and work upon the foundation will be
begun before the end of the present
week.
The Ft. Wayne road is laying their
switch, and has one branch laid to the
site of the factory, and is grading it up.
The Superintendent, Mr.. Itzel, will
contract for brick this week. Stone for
the foundation is being hauled to the
works today.
Some $4,000 worth of lots in the
addition has been subscribed for by our
citizens.

Library Lore.

A DEMOCRAT reporter stepped into
the city library short time last even
ing. He found the room comfortably
filed. An inspection of the character
of the books in the library gives rise to
feeling of congratulation, as in the
thousands of volumes in the book
shelves there are none trashy or cheap
in tone. Standard, fiction, historical,
biographical, works on theology, bot
any, medicine, astronomy and such
kindred subjects, form the bulk Of the
city library.
1t is extremely gratifying to find the
library so we'll patronized. The litera-
ture on hand is calculated to do untold
good to those who read it, and it is with
pleasure that we found school children
perusing standard works in company
with elder people. 1t is essential that
every citizen of Canton lend every en-
couragement in the way of building up
our city library, and take an interest in
what promises to repay an hundred
fold for the money, time and interest
invested in it.

Hit It on the Head.

The Toledo Commercial perpetrates
this atrocity:
"Akron is making a most vlllainous
record for high-handed crime. In that
regard it takes the lead of all Ohio
cities"
This is a libel of the first water.
Akron had an attempted wife murder
Saturday, accompanied by the suicide
of the would-be murderer, but that
crime broke in upon a long record of
orderlness and peace. We do our con-
temporary the credit to think that it
has innOcently blundered in the name.
1t must have had Canton in mind
Akron Beacon.
AS usual, Akron always tries to hide
her bad record by flinging mud at her
more exemplary neighbors. The
BeacOn's remarks should he taken as a
joke, inasmuch as the Commercial has
made the Beacon squirm by a little
plain talk,

The Baggage car Jumps the Track and the
Disaster Follows. Makeup of the train.
SAVANNAH, March 1.-THE accident
was caused by a broken rail under the
baggage car. The baggage car got off
the track about q quarter of mile before
it reached the bridge at the Hurricane
river. The baggage car mounted the
track, bat the train passed safely
over the bridge. Immediately on
the other side of the bridge
there is trestle several hundred feet in
length. When the baggage car struck
the trestle work it gave way and
the entire train, with the exception of
the engine dropped through and with ex-
option of one car, was completely
wrecked. The train consisted
of one combination car, three
baggage cars, smoking car, one coach, two
Pullmans, sleepers, and the private car of
the Lehigh Valley. This private car was
occupied by President Wilbur, of the LIE
and survived the shock. The second
engine ran at once to Black Shear, a
mile distant, for assistance. Soon the
physicians in the place were present, be-
sides many others who were ready to rem
der assistance in getting out the dead
and rescuing the wounded. The superin-
i Western railroad, Mr.. Fleming,
as soon as he heard of
the accident left Savannah for the scene
of the accident with physicians and
nurses. All afternoon and evening he
had d full force of hands clearing away
the wreck. Up to midnight the only
communication with the scene of the
wreck has been through the officials.

THE TROUBLE ON THE CENTRAL IOWA.

All Except a Few Employees Laid Of-The
Strikers Must Return or be Discharged.
MAsHALLTowN, Ia, March 19.-Acting
on the advice OF the court Receiver Dud-
ley, of the Central Iowa railroad, this
morning closed the shops and the gen
eral offices in this city, laying off all the
employees here AID along the line except
enough to guard the property and
handle the passenger service. This
is the result of the tie up of
the freight traffic and is the receivers
only alternative as without the freight
earnings there would be nothing to meet
the pay roll. n otice has been given the
striking engineers to report at clock
tomorrow morning for work or be dis
charged. This affects a thousand em-
ployes.
