Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1891-11-26


A farmer from Richfield township is pe-
culiarly affected by drink. When with
about as much gin slowed away as would
make the average guzzler blind, staggering
and whooping, crazy, fighting drunk, he
becomes very docile; said dociity gradual
ly merges into gentle cry, which increas-
esin volume until below is reached loud
and startling. He is seized at this stage of
his singular afiiction with profound con-
sideration for his team, and, hunting it up,
stands for an hour, caressing itwith sym
pathy characteristic only of man reclining
in the arms of the friendly Bacchus.
Finally his countenance is changed into a
wreath of smiles, constant and varied, with
out being moved thereto by any discernible
cause or pretext whatsoever. producing an
appearance that makes the ungodly laugh
and the heathen imagine vain things. In
this condition he departs for home rarely
arriving there before a. m. Itmatters not
how drunk he was or how late in his return,
he is ready for work the next morning.

men started out to lynch a negro who
had' been captured after having at

appointed for the hanging there were
only four white men present. These

to the Press from Williamsport, Penn.
says William II. Danley, young man
who carries the mail between the Will
Transport and North Branch Railroad
station and the village of Tivoli, met
with singular and sudden death yes
day. Danley was at his work as usual,
when an ordinary honey bee buzZed
around his head. When he ATTEMPTED
to ward it off the bee alighted on one
OF his fingers and stung him. Danley
complained of eXcruciating pain and
MS hand at once commenced swelling
rapidly, and in few minutes his whole
system was affected. Ten minutes af
ter being stung he fell into comatose
condition, and before aid could be sum
moned ne was dead. only fifteen min
utes having elapsed from the time he
was stung. The physicians who were
called were mystilied, but expressed the
belief that the bees stinger had entered
nerve or blood vessel, and that the
poison was quickly carried to the vital
organs, causing almost instant paraly-
SIS. Danley was II strong man Of Wig
orouS constitution.

The reporter drew aside the blanket

The reporter drew aside the blanket
from one corpse, and started back at the
sight. 1t was the body of Mr.. Brodie.
the Chicago drummer. Death had come
to him quickly, and his features re-
tanned an expression of Mortified fright,
His eyes were wide and staring, and
his mouth way open.
Another corpse showed no outward
signs of injury at all, while upon still
another no marks could be seen except
bad bruises on the eyes.
Each corpse was dressed and placed
in neat casket. The casket was boxed
and as soon rs instructions could be re,
ceived for the shipment of the body, il
would be sent to the depot.
There were still dozen bodies in
StatesVille this morning.
1t now appears pretty plain that this
awful disaster was the work of tramps
n rail had been loosed. After the &C
cldent it was seen that the nuts had
been unScrewed and placed OH rock
near the bridge, and that the spikes hat
been drawn.
~ short while previous to the acci
dent two tramps had been put off g
train near the bridge. They were trou
blesome fellows, and the conductor had
to use force to eject them.
The belief is that these tramps took
up the rail in spirit of revenge. They
were going in the direction of Salisbury
and the railroad authorities are making
every effort to catch them.
1t is learned that Mr.. Link died this
morning. That makes the total list OF
dead SO far known %.

hero of Tippecanoe from life. But that
wasn't so long ago. after all, in the mem
DRY of an octogenarian, and the painter
will be one in few months. He had sit
tings from John Quincy Adams, who seems
much farther back in history, and from
Zachary Taylor. His portrait Of Taylor
artist had received for single work up to
that time.
He told me good story of General Tay-
Tor, which dates back to the time of his
presidential campaign. The general was
at Baton Rouge, and the artist had called
upon him. They talked on general topics
for awhile, and finally got round TO poll
tics. Taylor asked his guest which way he
was going to vote. Beard. whose sympa-
tfies were not strongly with Taylor, got
out of it as well as he could, but not well
enough to disguise his hesitancy. Then
the general came out In surprising FASH
ion for political candidate.
Don't you vote for me, he cried, cor
for any other military man. There is
nothing in army life which makes states
men of u.s. nothing at all.
1t sounds strange to q youngster to hear
q man tell this of these characters, who
seemed far away even in my school days.
Beard has been painting for sixty-five
years. He obtained his first art inspira-
ton by watching man designing figure
head for some small craft that was to ply
the waters of Lake Erie. Genius is quick
to take a hint. Young Beard, with the
most primitive materials, went to work,
and though wholly untanght, turned out
some pictures that were worth looking at.
He has made special study of animals.
Among the notable faces observed in
his studio was that of the late distinguished
Mr. Crowley. The portraiture il excellent.
