ALDERMAN DAVIS gAcLY INJURED
Thrown Out ola wsgnn-Pelvis Bore of
Ills Right Hin Broken.

Thrown Out ola Wsgon-Pslvis Rore of
Ills Right Hip Broken.
Alderman L. L. Davis received a very
serious, and PERHAPS. fatal injury Mon
day. He was driving down Main street,
returning from spending sunday In the
country. and when near the Jail his horse
took fright at the steam roller which was
at work blowing out the center OF the street
for tho street railway. As the animal SHE'D,
the top of the carriage caught on a trolley
wire which was dangling in the street, tear
ing it Off instantly. MIR. Davis
lodged the wire, chung to the rens
until the horse made two or three frantic
jumps and the forswheels of the wagon
went against the curbng, throwing him
out, he striking on his hip on the curb stone.
The men running the road roller and other
witnesses OF the accident carried hun into
the jail and DIR. Tinkham was called.
MIR. Davis body was badly bruised In
several places and the pelvis bone of his
right hip was broken, the loosened bone
protruding through the skin.
After the wound was temporarily dressed
he was taken to the hospital
Mr.. Davis was conscious through it all
but said that the whole thing was done SO
quickly that he could net say how he es
capped being yankeI out Of the wagon by
the WIRE In the evening no was reported
comfortable and on the road to recovery.
1t is seldom that n hip s broken as
was his. DR.. Tinkham said that in all his
practice be had never had u similar case.
1t is considered an extremely bad break
and while the bone will doubtless heal, IL
may be troub esoms through life.
After tho accident the street where tho
roller was working was guarded with
ropes.
Tho horse and wagon belonged to o. c.
Stacy.

Funniest thing, though, was man
who got on ut Swan street who looked to
be all right. He made some sort of sign

Great Chances.

In the ranks of certain company of
New York volunteers there was an Irish
man who afforded an immense amount
of amusement as well as considerable
annoyance to all who came in contact
with him. twas said that the reception
of any order, save one to fall in" for
dinner or for pay, always found him not
quite ready.
He was fertile in excuses to an aston
ishing degree. He was perhaps in sew
eral battles. but that is not certain.
One morning after the war was over
this Irishman appeared at the house of
his old commander with request that
that gentleman would ''give him bit of
paper to git him pinsion wild"
Not liking fatty to refuse the request,
which the man had come many miles TO
prefer, the commander put him off with
some evasion, but when the Irishman
appeared Il second time he said firmly:
Mike, you are not entitled to IL pen
sion. You were never wounded"
No" said Mike, with an ingratiating
smile, Its not so much the wounds

man for each Office, us the pushing of one
button locks automatically MI other but
tons on the same horizontal line.
The illiternte man votes by color; the
blind man by position. He is told that the
first row to the left is Democratic, the sec
Ond row Republican, and so on. All he
then has to do is to feel FOR the row he
wants and push i'll the buttons. When the
voter is through, he makes his exit through
TWO doors in one corner of the cabinet.
Opening the inner one, he steps into the
passage and closes the door behind him.
The inner door locks automatically, so that
he cannot get back to repeat his vote. It
also releases all the buttons he has pushed
in and opens the outer door for him to pass
out.
The back of the cabinet on the outside is
formed of double steel doors These are
locked and sealed before the election be-
gins. When the voting is over, the seal is
broken and the doors are opened. There,
behind the rows OF buttons, over the name
Of each candidate, are figures showing the
total number of votes cast for him.
