You don'tsee Da any ladies on the streets
these nights without an escort. They are
oil afraid of the latest acquisition to the
freaks of the city. 1t is a man and he
wears glasses, too. Friday night he was
discovered peeping in the windows of a
residence on Linden avenue. Saturday
afternoon he tried to entice two ton year
old girls, who were returning from the skat-
ing rink, to follow him to his rooms, where
he said he had lot of candy. The little
girls ran back to the rink and told some
boys what the man wanted them to do,
but when the boys got around the rink
onto Broadway, he had disappeared. Sum
day night Miss Ona Fisher was walking
along North Freedom avenue on her way
to church, when the silly fellow
emerged from an alley aud threw
his arms around her. She screamed for
help which scared the fellow and he
skipped back into the alley. The assault
was not reported to the police for an hour
afterward and they could find no trace of
him. He has followed several other ladies
who have had to step into the residences
on the street to escape him. They all say
he wears glasses and for this reason the
near sighted youths are at discount at
present. The police are making strenu.
Gus efforts to capture the sneak.

The remains of Brakeman John Rau
were brought here from Youngstown last
night and taken to his mothers residence
on North Freedom avenue. As stated in
yesterdays paper, he attempted to run
ahead of his engine at Brier Hill, but
slipped and fell across the rail. The
engine cut him clean in two across the
hips. He was a popular boy among his
comrades 10 the railroad yards and all
sincerely mourn his loss. He will be buried
Thursday.
The railroaders calling is indeed haz-
ardous one. On cot in the smoking car
of the westbound express last evening,
lay Wash. Keis, OF Crestline, writhing io
agony, with big beads of perspiration
standing on his face caused by the pain he
suffered. Keis is a fagman on the Ft.
Wayne road, and yesterday morning was
assisting in making up the train he was to
go west on, in the Allegheny yards. He
was standing at the end of a car placing
link in position to make coupling, when
a car was shifted in onto the train. His
back was turned to It and he failed to
hear it coming. He was caught between
the dead-woods and severely squeezed,
several of his ribs and an arm being
broken. He also sustained serious in.
ternal injuries and ii is feared he
will have a hard time to pull
through. The company surgeon here was
with him while the train waited for supper
and done all he could to relieve his snf-
ferings. He was on his way to his home
at Crestline, where grief-stricken wife
awaited his coming.

other evening II developed that the pres
ent fiscal year, which ends in April, will
leave the association about s4O0 in debt
on all the available assets of the associa-

are individually responsible. Most of the
Indebtedness has been caused by the fail
ure Of the greater portion of the members
to pay in the annual membership fee and
dropping out during the year. The report
startled the board and nothing definite
was decided upon. 1t is likely another
meeting will be called this week, and the
board assume the debt and close up the
rooms.
