Three Men Come Near Losing Their Lives

Three Men Come Near Losing Their Lives
at the Valley Crossing.
The negligence of the Valley railway
officials in not working the gates at their
crossing in West Tuscarawas street has
been commented on before and it is now
necessary to mention the matter again.
George Smith, who runs an express and
dray wagon was driving out West Tusca-
rawas street yesterday during the heavy
storm. In the wagon were two of Theo-
bold's plumbers, who were going to the
street car barns to do some work. The
snow was blowing in their faces, nearly
binding them, and the horse was at
brisk jog. Smith remarked that the gates
we're up and that there was no train
coming. The wind was whistling
past their ears at such furious rate that
they could not hear q train. Assured
that all was right on account of the gates
being up, the horse and wagon was driven
on the track. As they got half way across
the men were Mortified TO see the2 o'clock
express train not ten feet distant, and
moving rapidly. The horse made for
ward movement and the men we're just on
the point OF jumping to save their lives,
when the wagon cleared the track, the
steam cylinder of the engine just grazing
the hind wheel, moving the wagon to one
side. By the negligence OF the man who
runs the gates, three lives might have
been lost. These gates have SO frsquent-
ly been left uuguarded that it Is about
time the company required the gate
tender to do his duty or else hire another

An accident occurred at the ]. II, Nc

which is peculiarly painful and unfortu-

the wheel the wrong way so that il turned
towards instead of from him. He was not
prepared for this and the tool slipped and
his thumb was caught between the re-

A bad burning accident took place at
the Spring shop about II o'clock last
night. Raymond Hill, an employe of the
works, who drives team, was in the fac
tory at night with the other workmen,
when he accidentally fell into vat of
scalding hot oil, which is used to dip
springs in. He was flshed out by his COM

at once. His right arm, the right side of
his face and head and his back and side
were one continued blister. He suffered
terrible pain until the doctor arrived when
he was rolled up in flour which kept the
air from the injuries and relieved his
sufferings. He was then taken to his
home at No. 1S5 North Cherry street. The
injured man is resting as comfortable as
possible today and will recover.

A Hint to Young writer's.

We all know how TO talk. There is a
certain number Of words put ON the
tongue of every human being, just as
the song is given to the canary bird or to
the robin. But beyond the song these
birds cannot go. And beyond the natu-
raj speech, or the words that nature
gives to every one, the illiterate human
being cannot go. His vocabulary is linn
tied until he becomes a student. Then
he begins to widen and there is no near
boundary line to its possibilities. The
writer who imagines that he can give
additional emphasis to composition by
the use of large words is greatly mistak-
en-. The economy of the readers atten-
ton is absorbed in understanding and
applying these big words, and there is
little OF the mental energy left with
which to digest the idea that these long
words contain. The picture that is
brought before his mental vision is there
fore dim and uncertain.
If the writer would give more promi-
nence to the idea and less to the verbal
frame; IN other words. if he would use
simple language which by contrast
would bring out the idea, he would not
only economize his readers mental ener-
gy, lat would benefit himself by max
ing himself more easily understood. The
mind is not able to do more than one
thing at time and do it well. 1t can
not at once delve into the mysteries of a
many syllable word and comprehend the
thought in proper manner.-Chicago

The Courtesy of Assassins.

1t will be remembered that some time
ago Mr.. Constantine Belcheff, the min
lister of finances, was unskillfully shot
and killed while walking in the streets
of Sofia in company with M. Stambulof,
the prime minister. 1t was thought at
the time that M. Belcheff was the victim
of mistaken identity, and this belief has
been confirmed by the following apology
which has been carved on his tombstone
"Forgive us; we aimed at Stambuloh
and struck you. The second time we
will not fail. "-General NJ. NJ. Trumbull

The Flight of the Stork.

The stork is remarkably picturesque
bird; its snowy body contrasting with
the bright red beak and legs and black
quill feathers of the wings, make it a
striking object. The fight is magnif-
cent, holder and more buoyanf than that
of heron. Like most large birds, its
powers of fight show best when it is at
great height. When we were on the
Bastei rock, in Saxon Switzerland, a pair
passed overhead, flying southwark
Though high above us, we could clearly
see the black pinion feathers; and as we
watched the powerful beat Of the wide
spreading wings we thought of the
angels in Zachariah's vision who had
swings like the stork. chambers Jour

Rome No Larger Than Brooklyn.

The exaggerations of Vossius, Lipsius
and Chateaubriant, who give to imperial
Rome 14,000,0 900, 5000, 900 and 5000, 200
of inhabitants are too absurd to deserve
notice. Hume, who, in his mastery es-
say on the "Populousness of Ancient
Nations" has discussed the question of
the population of Rome with his usual
learning and good sense, arrives at the
conclusion that Rome, when at her
zenith, might have been as populous as
London in 1850; in other words, that she
might have had from 100000 to 100000
inhabitants. Gibbon estimated the popu-
lation at l, 200.0 900, but it would appear
that the more moderate estimate of
Hume is the more accurate. The popu-
lation of Rome at its largest, therefore,
did not exceed that of Brooklyn in 1891.

Elephant Leather.

The tanning Of elephants hides is
comparatively new industry. Tho
method employed is practically tho same
as in the tanning of cowhides, says the
Chicago Daily News, except that a
strongercombination Of the tannic ingrc-
dents is required and greater length Of
time, about six months, is necessary to
to perform the work. When the hide is
taken out of the vat it is about TX
inches thick. Articles made of ele-
plants hide are expensive Injuries. 4
small pockct-book of elephant leather,
without any gold or silver ornamental
ton, costs about $40. A small snchcl
made of the same leather costs
anywhere from $500 to $500. Cigar
cases, card cases and similar articles
vary from S25 to 500. Floor rugs are
also made out of the leather. In finish
ing the hide no attempt is made to glaze
or polish it. Every thing is done to pre-
serve it's natural color and appearance.
1t is very enduring leather, several
years wear having but little effect upon
it. The scarcity of elephants and the
great expense cntailcd in the tanning
of their hides prccludcs the possibility

December IL, 1885, Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvellous.
About 400 houses have been built; ST.
100000 spent in buildings and improve

and the business of tho postoilicc and
telegraph office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to go into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure tho doubling of the
present population of 1000 in another
year.
Negotiations are nearly closed for adj
ditional plants to employ several thou

with an aggregate capital stock of a.
600, 600, have voted liberal sums for new
industries. A cotton factory and a
wooden mill (ncarly completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing.

The early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail
way center, and hasten its growth into
a. la hiOiib oOCCi anu lll&HuluC-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia.; and it may well be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, it's
hcalthful climate, its refined society," it's
fine churches, it's excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
a place of residence, il now offers UNI
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equallcd Salcms
record of progress for the last twelve
months. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly cstab-
lishcd on solid industrial basis.
This property adjoins the old town and
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, it will continue TO increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. Tho streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it, On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
macadamized at cost of 5000, only

On it, the Hotel Salem, costing S65,-

for occupancy, and a number Of large
business houses are in course of ercc-
ton. This avenue is sure to become
one Of tho finest business thoroughfares
in Virginia.
