A SAD ACCIDENT.
William Beard Receives O Rifle Ball
in His Brain
Ana His Recovery Is Considered Doubtful
1.-The Cause of the Gun Being Discharg-
ed \ Mystery,

A sad accident occurred Sunday after
noon at about one o'clock near the bridge
on tho Connotton railroad.
William Beard, aged 15 years, had
started out to enjoy himself with a rifle
which carries % shot cartridge. Wink
Cahill Nelson Fisher, Clifford Boylan and
Lawrence Boylan accompanied him.
They had been enjoying their sport for
some time when Beard remarked to his
companions that he had only one cart
ridge left. He proposed, as that was the
case, they had better return home.
few moments afterwards the sharp
crack of the rife was heard and
became frightened and started to run,
but one of them came back and assisted
him to his feet. He walked from there to
the home of his mother, Mrs. Caroline
Beard, corner East Ninth and South
Young streets and entered the house. He
soon became weak and DR.. March was
sent for.
Assisted by DR.. Pyle an examination
was made and II was found that the ball
had entered the young mans cheek, max
ing its way upward to the brain. The
physicians probed for the bullet but were
unable to locate it. 1t probably lodged in
the brain.
The injured man has not been uncon-
scious at any time bat Is in very precar.
ious condition and the physicians have
very little hope for his recovery.
At the time the accident occurred the
boys were all standing still and do not
know just what caused the gun to be dis
charged.
The young man was resting easily today
and partook OF some nourishment.. The
sympathy OF the entire community is ex'
cited as William is bright young man
and his recovery is earnestly hopedfor by
all

BURNED TO A CRISP.
Frightiul Death of an Engineer at the
Drake Niue.
A Boiler Explodes With Terrible Results

ticulers.

Burned to a crisp.
Fearful boiler explosion at the Drake
coal mine.
Henry yogt instantly killed early Sun
day morning.
His body a charred mass of flesh and
bones.
Both arms and both legs burned off the
body.
Nothing left by which the remains can
be identified.
The company in no way TO blame, low
water in the boiler being the cause.
Such in brief is the story of one OF the
most frightful disasters that has occurred
in many day.
Eurly Sunday morning Coroner John
II. Openhimer was notified that there had
been a boiler explosion at the Drake Coal
Company's mine, three miles from Mas
sillon. He proceeded at once to the scene
and found the report was only too true.
In the ruins was found the burned and
badly chaEred AIRED remains Of Night
burned beyond all recognition. In fact
there was hardly enough left to tell that
the burned mass had once been human
body. Both legs were burned off close to
the body and neither arm could be seen.
The head was almost entirely consumed.
l. was plain to see where

1t is supposed that Vogt had been
asleep, and when he woke up, saw the
water was low ana commenced to pump
in the cold water. TGis caused the explo.
sion and the building then caught fire be-
ing entirely consumed. From what can
be learned the boiler was in good condi-
ton and consequently the company was
in no way to blame for the accident.
A watch, knife, ring and fifty cents be-
longing to the deceased were found in the
ruins. The watch was worthless and
burned flesh could be smelled in the works.
The deceased was in comfortable circum-
stances and leaves a wife and one son
aged 20 years to mourn his loss. He was
about 60 years of age.
The loss to the company will be about
1900. The engine house Is entirely des-
troyed while all of the machinery Is wreck
ed. The work of repairing the damage
has already been commenced. The mine
is owned by James NJ. Drake, James w.
Warwick and Rinehart Keller.
1t is supposed that the explosion took
place about o'clock Sunday morning. At
that hour Mrs. Monroe Slater heard a
noise and looking out of her window saw
the building in flames. She notified her
husband who went at once to the scene,
and found the building burned 10 the
ground.
The company had made application to
the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspecting
company to insure their boilers and d. w.
Johnson, an inspector, had notified them
that he would be there Sunday morning to
make the necessary inspection. When he
got there he found the boiler had ex-
ploded.
Coroner Openhimer took the testimony
Of Superintendent Keller and Mr.. John
son, the inspector. Both were of the
opinion that low water had caused the eX-
piosion, and from the general appearance
Of things this is probably true.

srTG STRAWBERRY MEETING.

Matters Of Much Interest to Members
Considered at the Session of the Horti-
cultural Society.
The Stark County Horticultural Society
meeting which was held in the Fair
grounds Thursday afternoon was ofmuch
interest to those in attendance. 1t was
presided over by John +. Roth, chairman
of the society. Mr.. f. r. Palmer read a
splendid paper on the method of cultivat-
ing berries, which abounhed with practi.
collaboration for fruit growers. He also
read paper upon the phase of farming
devoted to the Improvement and refine
ment of farm life that was vigorously ap-
plauded.
The report of the committee on fruit
showed that it was only killed in spots.
Peaches were reported to be in much bet
ter shape than grapes. Considerable time
was devoted to a discussion of the disease
which afflicted fruit plants and to review
ing the methods of prevention and cure
for such Affections. Mr.. Palmer states
that the finer fruit was developed by cul-
tivation the harder 1t was to raise, as what
was gained in the quality of the fruit was
lost in vitality by tine plant.

TIE WORK OF HIS ENEMIES.

Isaac Cox Denies the Sorry OF HIS Inhu.
man Treatment of a Child.
On June the Review published story
from Carroll county in which il was stated
that Isaac Cox had been indicted by the
grand jury for the inhuman treatment of
an adopted son. 1t was stated that the
boy had been forced TO eat fish entrails,
and had been beaten until his back was
mass OF lacerated flesh.
Mr.. Cox called at the Review office to-
day 70 make a complete denial of the
statement contained in the article. He
believes that the misstatements were
made by personal enemies for the pur-
pose of doing him injury. He says that
the grand jury found no bill against him;
there were no fish brought TO the house; ;
the boy was not sick day while with him,
and that there never was a scratch on the
boys back from punishment.
Mr.. Cox was accompanied today by
Mr.. John D. Patterson and Mr.. George
CAM, both prominent citizens of Carroll
county, who vouch for Mr.. Cox's state
ments. He is determined to hunt out
those who have been circulating these re-
ports about him, and be vindicated before
the public Alliance Review.

Hon. Lawrence 7. Neal arrived in the

From which we learn that after paying
for the materials used and the labor cost
OF production, capital, the Golden Calf,
demanded for every dollar invested, in-
cluding watered stock in enormous
amounts, in 1850, 40 per cent; 1850, AZ per
cent; 1870, 46 per cent; 1880, 40 per cent.
1t will be noticed that the nuuber of
factories increased very slightly from 1870
TO 1880. The era of wreckage had begun.
The big fish began TO eat the little ones,n
and the advantages of the protective sys-
tenn were turned into the means Of de-
struction. The law had shut out competi-
ton from abroad, which accounts for the
enormous development of 1860 to 1870,
but the number was so increased as to
bring the power of competition intoeffect
at home, consequently combination among
the stronger was accepted as the means of
successfully accomplishing the destruction
OF the weaker, and stamping out conpeti-
ton which endangered enormous profits.
Whenever the products of these factories
exceeded in amount the ability of the peo-
pie to purchase, they shut down, went on
a strike, till the excess was consumed.
1t will be noticed that the laborer's share
of the product of his toll has been con-
stantly diminishing until his average an
nual wages equals the meager sum OF aat6
per year in 1880, and even this ptiful al
lowance has been greatly reduced since
that time.
