Around The World.

Two bicyclists G. Allen, OF
Missouri. and w. L. Sachtleben, of Al
ton, Ill.-took dinner at the Clarendon,
Sunday. They told great story of their
travels, and the tale is doubtless true
Three years ago they graduated from
college, and then went to England for
tour of the British Isles. After they had
covered England, Ireland and Scotland,
they conceived the idea of a tour around
the world, and chose as their means OF
travel bicycles. They went through
France, Italy, Greece and Turkey to
Constantinople. From there they went
through ASIA Minor, Northern Persia,
Russian Central Asia and China, dis
tanee of several thousand miles, and a
good part of the way through trackless
region. From Pekin they sailed for San
Francisco, and are now on their way
across the United States to New York, to
complete the circle of the globe. They
told many strange incidents of travel,
and of several narrow escapes.

Killed by a Train.

Andrew McIlvaine, of Burton Station,
east of Barnesville, was struck by the
eastbound morning passenger train on
Tuesday morning, and instantly killed.
His home is near the railroad, and he was
crossing the track, as has been his custom
for years, to attend to duties of the farm
and he either thought he had sufficient
time to get across, or seeing the train so
close on him, became bewildered, and was
unable to get out OF the way. His head
was badly cut and his body very much
bruised, and he was dead when some
member of his household, who was near
by at the time, reached him. The train
which struck him ran back, but nothing
could be done for him. Mr.. McIlvaine
was 68 years of age. His wife died last
March, and only one son survives him.
He was good citizen, and the manner
of his death cast a gloom over the COM
munity in which he lived. He was an
uncle of Mrs. w. j. Thompson, of this
place. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomspon attend
ed the funeral, which took place on
Wednesday.
