RAIL AND CRossTIE.

The suit of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railway against the Louisville
and Nashville for damages done in the re-
markable collision which occurred at juno
ton City, Nov. last, is on trial at
Knoxville. At the time of the collision the
rear sleeper OF passenger train was stand
ing across the Louisville and Nashville
track. A freight train coming down the
heavy grade just beyond the junctual
point, despite all efforts of its crew, crushed
through the rear sleeper the engine Of the
freight cutting the Pullman car sQuarely
in two. Curiously enough, notwithstaud-
ing the fact that the sleeper was crowded
with passengers, none of them were seri-
ouslY injured. One man, who at the time
Of the accident was asleep in his berth, was
tossed through the roof Of the car aud
landed in neighboring yard with his mat
tress under him. Two or three of the pas
Ssngers were not even awakened from their
slumbers by the collision, 80 instantaneous
was the shock. The plaintiff claims S4O,-
900 damages done TO its car and passengers.

endeavored TO make of small Importance.
He compared ID to an old bone which the
Democratic party. dog like, dug up and be-

The speaker brought the laugh on himself
by referring to the hall as brilliantly lighted
with electricity. He took a good look at
the gas Jet before making this assertion,
but decided in favor Of electricity. He made
a quick change of front on this point, how
ever, when he discovered the crowd differed
with him as to the character OF the iliumi-
uant.
The crowd rapidly thinned out toward
the close of Mr.. Smiths speech, and by the
time Mr.. Howard concluded there were not
over forty people in the hall.

RIVER AND HARBOR.

A company has been formed in England
to build whale-back barges for the ocean
carrying trade. Some of the leading ship
ping men in the United States and Great
Britain are interested, and among them
Alexander McDougal, of whale-back fame.
This syndicate will start ship yard in
Great Britain very soon. An English naval
architect is now here studying the building
and constructing OF the whale-back steamer
1t Is claimed that these vessels are to be
built by new process and the ri7eting will
be done by hydraulic machinery.
The rapid development of the German
ocean carrying trade has led to important
dock improvements along the coast Of the
North sea and the Baltic The most exten-
sive OF these is that to be made by the
CITY of Bremen, where 1t is desired to secure
easy access to the new Kaiser dock at Bre-
menhaveu. This work will lie the largest
undertaking of its kind in Germany. The
dock will be CSC feet long SO feet wide and
"a feet deep. 1t will cost about 81, 500, 600,
of which the city is to pay $4,0O0,000, and
the general government the remainder.
The great difficulty and expense of the
works arise from the fact that good holding
ground for the foundation can only be
found % to rs feet below the future floor
of the dock.

An exchange says dancing makes a

cream produces freckles, while learn
ed physician says that hanging on the
gate gives rheumatic gout. 1t seems
that tho only pleasures girls are allow
ed in the future are washing the dishes
and cleaning up the house, and even
this little pastime is calculated to make
the girls hands hard and rough and
rot suitable for squeezing purposes.
Thus it will be seen that the life Of the

tested his Innocence. .-B. G.. Tribune.

acknowledged you we're right and re-
freshed your memory on few other

faction fights are concerned we have
no hand In it, but when It comes to any
faction going away from home to q
convention in which we have vote,
or to which Perrysburg township
Republicans 20 united, we don't pro-
pose that any one faction shall control
or deliver that vote against the wish of
the delegates, and when we have once
east our vote we don't propose that
prevent that vote being announced.
That's just where we stand and you
will always find us there. The only
factions that can in any way influence
our course is the solid sturdy working
Republicans OF Perrysburg township,

Ohio State Journal, Sept. %: Ac-
cording TO the figures furnished by
Adjutant General Phisterer, made
yesterday TO national Grand Army en-
campment, that organization has
reached the high-water mark In point
of membership, and hereafter there
will likely be reported an annual de-
crease in the muster rolls. On the 31st
of December last there were 4O7, ,7Sl
members in good standing in the
various posts, an apparent loss OF 1908
from last year, but as there has been
nearly 5000 added without authority
the previous returns were incorrect. so
that there was actually gain OF about
200 in the total strength of the
organization. Less than half million
men now represent the armies that
choked the life out OF the rebellion,
and with each recurring year the num-
Der will grow less. Thousands are an
swering "Here!" to the weird roll-call
OF the only enemy before whom they
laid down their arms. With each
year the white tents OF the dead veter-
ans increase in the Land of Beulah,
and Silence guards the ghostly camp

THE PERRYsBURG ELEVATOR.
Churchill Il Co.'S, New Grain Elevator ~
Splendid Structure and of much
Value to the Town.


The new elevator which has been in
process of construction during the past
summer is very nearly completed.
Already large quantities OF grain have
been placed therein. but the elevators
and machinery are not all IN running
order and will not be until the first of
ncxt week.
The main building is 3Gx40 feet and
As from the lower floor to the caves,
with brick engine house 2ox24 feet,
which is supplied with t. 10 horse
power boiler, made by Woodbury.,
Booth & Pryor of Rochester, N. y,
anl high speed, rock valve 35 horse
,wer engine, built by the Vulcan Iron
Works of Toledo.
The first floor of the main building is
supplied with apparatus for weighing
and handling grain.
One of the most convenient devices
being large hopper bin built upon n
large portable Fairbanks scales which
can be used for transferring grain and
weighing the same while in transit.
All the scales used are of the cele-
brated Fairbanks make which is II
guarantee Of their accuracy.
The building contains 20 hopper
built crib bins Of 2x6 cribbing, and the
spouts are 80 arranged that the weigher
on the ground floor can, by turning a
lever direct the spouting OF the grain
into any bin in the house.
There are three large elevators g.,
feot long each capable of elevating 1900
bushels per hour, and the storage
capacity OF the house is $4,000 bushels.
On the upper floor of the building are
situated one elevator wheat separator
and cleaner, with capacity OF
1000 bushels per hour Also one
improved double screen dustless corn
cleaner and shaker which separates
the corn, blows the dust into the dust
room, the cobs down into the engine
room and the corn into the bins. The
corn is first shelled in the basement by
a Victor shelter and is then conveyed
to this cleaner by the elevators.
The Office building is one story
structure one-half OF which is occupied
by tho large platform scales used in
weighing the grain as it is brought in
from the farms, in wagons.
Tho elevator is in charge of John G
Maddy who has for many years been
associated with Mr.. churchill in the
grain business, and since he has been
associated with the grain buying inter
ests OF this locality, his honorable busi.
ness methods have won for him the
esteem and confidence of the people
throughout the entire section OF
country tributary to Perrysburg. He
has for assistants his brother, Chas
maday, and G.. +. Franklin, who are
thoroughly conversant with the details
of the business and who are we'll known
to the people doing business here, as
very accommodating gentlemen.
Thomas Roether II young man born
and raised in Perrysburg has charge OF
tho engine. Thus it will be seen that
not only is the elevator II complete and
well appointed grain house, but the
men in charge of the various depart.
ments are capable and honorable men
we'll worthy the confidence and respect
of the people.
