THREE LIVES LOST
by Landslide in Troy, y. X.-Remarka-
BILE Escape.


Troy. n. Y, March ia landslide at
O'Clock this morning carried away a two
story dwelling in the southern part OF tho
city. and three lives were lost. There were
sixteen persons in the Canheld house, the
first building destroyed. In the Lawrenson
house seven persons were sleeping. That
one of the inmates of the houses escaped IS
most remarkable. But for tho solid foun-
dations of the new brick house on the west
side of the avenue the sliding mass would
have continued TO Hill street and perhaps
further. The survivors and their neigh
bors agree that the crash came somewhere
between $50 and o'clock. There was no
warning and the inmates Of the dwellings
in the path of the destroying mass were
quietly sleeping. Their sensations upon
awakening as the building gave way and
they were carried down beneath the ruins
were terrible in the extreme.
EscAPE FROM DEATH MYSTERY.
Just how they escaped death is mystery
to them. The crash came, they went down

Let the justices of the peace Of
Sharp county take under advisement
the question Of voting road tax at
the coming quorum court. There is
nothing this county needs, more and
has less of, than good roads and
there can be no improvement made
in the county that will add more to
the value of property in general
than for decent roads to be stretched
from one end of the county to the
other with at least one bridge across
each Of the principal rivers.
