County Ticket.

We have said so much about a
railroad to Hazel Green, and have
been SO often disappointed, that for
some time past we have held aloof.
Now, however, we have "a straight
tip" to use the language of the gem
tleman who gives us the informa-
ton, and we can state with reason
able assurance that Hazel Green
will have railroad within eighteen
months or two years. All we have
TO do, i. @. the people along and adj
iacent to the line running from
Rothwell is to keep n stiff upper
lip and demonstrate q Willingness
10 aid in the good work by grant
ing right of way and ties, and
railroad is not only possible but
extremely probable. THE HERALD
has always entertained the idea
that Hazel Green is on the most
available route to the seaboard
from Cincinnati, and that event..
ually this eligible location would
secure for her a railroad; provided,
of course, that the people are will
ling to contribute in ties, etc, and
the latest information we have is
to the effect that our idea has not
been entertained in vain. Like
Rome railroads are not built in a
day, and Notwithstanding all our
disappointments we have never
been discouraged to the point that
we ceased to hope. She will come
if we but do our duty.

Serious Accident to Calvin ball at ST.
Matthews New Church.
Calvin c. Ball. a colored resident of Fort
Reno, Tenleytown, suffered from what may
be fatal accident this morning. He was
employed as a laborer on the new st. Mat
thew's Church. on Rhode Island avenue be-
tween 18th and 18th streets, and 1t was his
duty to go up on the walls In a swinging
chair to clean the bricks of the lime stains.
This morning at about 10 o'clock he took
his place in the chair and had been hoisted
about halfway up the wall when the rope
that held him parted and he fell to the
ground, about forty feet below. His right
arm was broken and his spine was injured.
When the physicians from the Emergency
Hospital, who were summoned at once ar
rived at the church, Ball was lying on the
ground suffering intensely. He was taken
to the hospital, where his arm was set, and
DR.. Kerr, chief of the hospital staff, was
sent for in order that a thorough eXamina-
ton of the patient might be made. 1t was
feared that Balls spine had been fractured
or else seriously injured, for the lower part
of the body was completely paralyzed. His
wife was summoned.
DR.. Kerr made an examination Of Ball
later in the day. and discovered that his
spine had been broken. Ball is conscious,
but in an almost hopeless condition. He
was still alive this afternoon.
