OBSERVER.

The following copied from the
Meyersdale Register, contains good
lesson to young men who are in the
habit of using intoxicants.
Mr.. Ferd w. Seibert. second son
of George w. Seibert. died in his
fnher's barn where he was found on
the morning of the 17th of Feb. 1891.
Ferd w. Seibert was 26 years of
aye and an industrious young man.
His father is a skillful mechanic, but
lost both his sight and hearing some
years ago, and become entirely de-
pendent upon his family for support.
His oldest son is also mechanic,
] but was thrown from building
| while at work. and so badly injured
that he was disabled from work for
two years. Ferd w. remained with
the family and contributed all his
earnings. supplying his own wants
very sparingly, to the support of the
family. D1tiful child. but untor.
tunately the young man was induced
TO go t0-nn the evening of the
l6 inst. All know what that means.
The result was, he with others went
to the bar and drank Intoxicating
drinks to excess. Ferd was not ad-
1icted 10 drink and could not carry
as much as some older sinners. and
he fell under the load (; so did one
ofthe other young men.
Houses that are built and kept for
the accommodation of the travelling
public, can only afford to keep per.
sons until they get drunk. but nc
longer. especially ifthe money is not
plentiful. Poor Ferd was first Car.
ried to the station and from there
home to his fathers stable where he
died all alone. Close by him was
his mother and his father, but MOI
knowing that Ferd was in a dying
condition. How willingly his deal
mother would haye given aid to heI
son. The work of death was, how
ever. done for the benefit OF the traY
cling public. Mothers must par

upon which Rev. Albert Fl. Stude

resume. and said that tnany of the
Lutheran peasants had been EN-

A SPIRITED RUNAWAY.

Mrs. F. w. Benedicps Team Takes
 Fright and Runs Away-Mrs. Ben-
 edfct Thrown Out and Injured-
 One of K1mberly's Loaded Coal
 Carts Run Into.
 Between and o'clock yesterday a run away, attended with serious results, oc- cured on Temple street. The carriage of Frank W. Benedict, in which was his wife, Mrs. Benedict, and which was drawn by two spirited horses driven by the colored coachman, was coming down Temple street. When in front of the United church chapel the horses suddenly became fright ened and dashed down Temple street, through the green and across Chapel street. The driver had completely lost con. trol of the animals and the team, swayinp from one side of the street to the other. When in front of J. L. Nesbit's stables On Temple street, below Chapel, the horses dashed into loaded coal cart and turned the cart completely around, dumping the entire coal into the street. The runaway team also struck hack standing in front of the stable and narrowly missed collid- ing with several others. In consequence of the force with which the carriage struck the coal cart the whole side of the carriage was completely shattered, the door being broken off and falling into the carriage, together with the glass, upon Mrs. Bene- dict. @"-,%>
 The runaway team continued on it's mad career down Temple street and was stopped in front of the Elictric Light company's works at the head of George street by crashing into heavy grocery wagon which was standing there, and one of the horse's fore feet becoming fastening in be- tween the spokes of the wheels of the wagon.
 By the force of the second collision Mrs Benedict was thrown into the street and sustained several severe bruises. She was carried into the house of Mrs. Irving s. Coveil, 107 Temple street, where her tenn porary needs were attended to and she was made as comfortable as possible. After 8 short rest she was taken in 8 hack to her home where her injuries were attended to. In addition to being considerably bruised and shaken up Mrs. Benedict was badly cut on the nose by the broken glass.
 The horses escaped without injury, the difficult feat of extricsting the leg of the horse from the spokes of the wheels being successfully accomplished by J. L. Nesbit, to whose stables the horses and what re- mained of the carriage were taken.
