Mr.. Jere. Babylon met with an accident
at Patapsco last Saturday that might have
been fatal. His horse became frightened
at the 100 train, and ran into the rear
car, striking it side-wise, and Mr.. Babylon
was thrown from his buggy to the milk stand.
He was not seriously hurt, but his escape was
very narrow. He was taken home by Mr..
Samuel Stansbury, land physician summoned,
and he is slowly recovering from his injuries.
A very valuable horse belonging to Mr..
August Gesell ran against fork handle and
died from the injury. 1t was valued at 5000.
A Democratic meeting was held at Sandy
Vile last Saturday night. Speeches were

Last week special meeting of the Color
ed Republican Association was held and the
committee reported how they had been treat
ed. At this meeting the resolutions, which
have already appeared il the News, were
adopted, and they will be adhered to. But
we will go further We will not support any
Fusion movement, whether it he for Mayor
or any other office, and as Cen Latrobe when
Mayor secured us nearly all the school
privileges we enjoy, we will show our graft
tude to him by voting for him next month.
The Republican managers claim that we owe

free. We think we have about paid that
debt and that we now have duty to the
present to perform

at sos a. m. The man was carrying a heavy

deaf The engineer blew at the whistling
post below and also for down brakes as soon
as he saw the unfortunate man on the bridge,
but owing to sharp curve in the road at that
point, and a pile of ties, the man was not
seen in time to prevent the accident. Squire
Azariah Oursler summoned jury of inquest,
who, after ascertaining the circumstances of
the accident from witnesses who were pres
ent, returned the following verdict-"That

On last Saturday afternoon as Mr.. Jere-
miah Babylon was approaching Patapsco
Station in his cart, he heard the 1.30
train coming down and got out to hold his
horse. As the train approached the animal
took fright and became unmanageable. The
horse continued to run toward the railroad
with Mr.. Babylon hanging to his bride and
before the train had passed the crossing Mr..
Babylon was thrown against the train and
also caught against the milk stand. He re-
ceived a severe shock and many ugly flesh
wounds. We are glad to say that he is still
living and hopes are now entertained that he
will recover. Drs. Billingslea and Herring
are the attending physicians
