SAMUEL LocKARD, for many years a

of this place. met with horrible acci-
dent. which resulted in his death, at -tt-
nayiIle. on Thursday last. He had been
in Bridgeport and had gone up to the
Ftua Mil to see his son who works
there. Returning, he started down the
Cleveland. Lorain and Wheeling track,
which at that point is on high trestle.
When a short distance below the mill, a
c.. L. and W yard engine, pushing a
freight ear, started toward Bridgeport,
the view of the track to the engineer be-
ing Distracted by the car, and Lockard
was not seen. LOckarl hearing the train
All attempting to get off the tack, fell,
and landed with the left leg and part
of his body across the rail, and while in
this position the car ran over him. The
train was running very slowly, and be-
fore the engine had passed over him the
engineer saw that something was wrong
and reversed the engine. His left leg
was cut completely off, and the wheels
had passed across his abdomen and
crushed it so that the intestines protru-
ded He was picked up and taken to
Bridgeport and medical aid summoned,
but his injuries were necessarily fatal,
and he died at s o'clock that evening.
After the accident he was taken to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Lacey, in
Bridgeport, where the remains were pre-
pared for burial, and on Friday, were
brought to the home of his son-in-law, j os.
Harris, in this place The funeral took
place on Sunday, under the auspices of
Drummond Post, q. \. r., and his re-
mains were inferred at Richland.
He was 72 years of age, and man
possessed of many good qualities, and his
sad death is mourned by many friends.
He had lived rather an eventful life, hav
ing been in the. marine service during
the late war, and was at one time, it is
said, shipwrecked on the coast of South
Africa.

4 THE new China works of Knowles,
Taylor & Knowles at East Liverpool, said
to be the largest in the world, were totally
destroyed by fire on Monday evening.
The fire originated from gas explosion
in the packing room which was filed with
straw. The works have been in operation
only one year, and manufactured what is
known as "opaqe" china. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000; insured for $4,000
The buildings were supposed to be fire
proof, hence the small insurance. About
three hundred men are thrown out of
employment The works will be rebuilt
at once.
