A BAD AccIDENT.-On Sunday
morning, Sol Midkiff, an employee
of the Ohio River Railroad Co., in
the yards here, met with an acct
dent which will result in the loss of
all the fingers on his right hand
and his disability from service for
a long time.
Midkiff was assisting in the yard,
and in making a coupling his hand
was caught between the bumpers
and horribly mangled. His hand
was encased in glove and in the
mashup the leather was pushed into
the flesh, and an ugly and most
painful injury was inflicted.
Midkiff's injury is bad one. His
spledid physical condition will pre-
vent any serious complications, but
it will be long time before he will
be able for duty again. Huntington

Sensation

And So Corcoran's Roost Was Robbed Of
Sensation
Corcoran's Roost came as near having a
sensation yesterday as it has since the night
Eddy Gates threw Policeman Kelly down an
areaway, jumping down after him, and kicked
him simply because the policeman haG ar
rested him for beating his wife, says the New
York Sun. To use a roost phrase. Kelly put
Gates away for two years and half for it,
and. rs Gates was the last of a very tough
gang that used to rule the roost, things have
been peaceabe there ever since. The roost
is, or used to be. down by the gashouse in
First avenue. between Forty-first and Forty
second streets. Il was shanty on rock
ledge 1t was cleared out years ago. but the
locality retains the name. and up to the time
Eddy Gates was put away the population
thereabout retained its reputation for tough
ness. Now it is a peaceable section
When Eddy went away he left behind his
pretty wife. She used to be the belle OF the
roost She has degenerated in looks recently,
but she has retained her popularity. Every
body in the roost knows her and likes her
when she is not on mixed-ale jag. She was
in Second avenue early yesterday morning,

''She's committing suicide" said Warnerto
himself and he sent in hurry call for an
ambulance. She was taken to Bellevue Hos
pital, and the word went round through
Coreotan's Roost that Lizzie Gates had killed
herself Then there was great excitement.
The Coreorans and the RaTertys and all the
other first families gathered 10 discuss it and
wonder why she had done it. They decided
that Eddy's time was nearly out and she had
feared he would kill her when he got home
for being the indirect cause of his being put
away.
When the ambulance got to Bellevue Hos
pital the doctor looked at Lizzie and put the
case down as simple ''alcoholic." and in the
afternoon. when she had got over her sick
ness, the doctors sent for Policeman Warner
and he took her to the Yorkville court.
What's the matter, Lizzie?" asked the JUS
tiee
II was sick" said Lizzie.
''What did you take?"
'AIixed ale," said Lizzie.
''Did you try to kill yourself?''
''Sure / didn't" said Lizzie
"And what did you arrest her for?' the JUS

when 1 asked her what was the matter she
said she wanted to die. I didn't know but

judge, and so Corcoran's Roost lost Its sensa-
ton. Lizzie was drinking mixed ale again
