About seven o'clock yesterday morn
Ing an old man, whose name could not
be learned, made 4 very narrow escape
from being killed by the ears in the B.
X O. Yards of this city. lie was stand
ing Oh the tracks and did not see car
approaching which was being taken to
a switch at a high rate OF speed. Those
who saw the old man followed to him
10 get from the tracks. The car just
grazed his clothing as he was getting
away. Those who saw the escape turn
ed away their beads, thinking the man
had been killed.
Yesterday afternoon soma OF the B.
& o. yard employees were making a
flying switch near Hotfmaun's tannery
az Tweuty-fOurth street. A freight car
was sent with great force, and instead
OF keeping the main track followed
the tannery switch. The car Jumped
this switch and came clean out on
Main Straet across tho street cars
tracks before il stopped. The street cars
were delayed about q half hour while
q number Of men showed the car from
the tracks. IL is considered very
fortunate thing that no street
cars or wagons were in the road OF the
car, as a bad sccident would probably
have been the result.
At haIf-pass four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, there was an accident a.
FOrty-fOurth and Jacob streets. Henry
Keltz, the ex-Sheri1 Of Marshall coun-
Is. 10 o buggy, aud Henry Ssabright. of
CaldwelpS Run, IN SUlkey, were driv-
ing there, and were about 10 pass \
street ear came along, and one OF the
horses SHE'D and jumped on the tracks.
10 some manner both the rigs got mixed
up 10 the accident. The street car hit
the buggy aud turned 10 over. Mr.. Sea-
bright was thrown out but was not
hurt much. Mr.. keltZ was thrown ont
and the sulkey badly broken. Mr..
keltz was injured very little by the fail.
The mOtOrmau, getting his ear under
control so soon, probably prevented a
serious accident
After the storm Thursday evening it
was found that circuit No. OF the
electric light system had been damaged.
Mr.. CapUS, manager OF the plant. with
force OF men in 4 wagon was out look
ing after the damage. At Thirty-ninth
street the driver turned too short
and the manager was thrown
out and between the wheels.
His feet were entangled In the lines,
and he was in a bad shape When the
horse was starting 10 run, Herbert
Machiu. the manager OF the new SAM
tary pottery, grabbed the excited horse,
preventing what would evidently have
been a serious accident. The electric
light mau, though bruised slightly, was
able to continue his work. The dam
age was repaired, and the lights Of the
cl-cuit turned on about IL O'Clock that
night"
