Equally explicit and lnfexible is the ref

Edward Fahey. respected Irish resident
of this place, was struck by the third section
of Meat Express train No. 80, on the Erie,
about seven O'Clock Sunday evening. His
body was hurled through the air a distance
of nearly hundred feet.
1t seems that Mr.. Fahey had been to the
Erie depot with a friend who took train 3 for
Kent, and that he must have returned home
and taken his wheelbarrow and proceeded
to the Chestnut street crossing, for the pur-
pose of getting tie that was lying at the
side of the railroad He left his wheelbar-
row at Chestnut street, and getting the tie
up onto the track left it there for few mo-
ments, probably with the intention of return
ing with the wheelbarrow into which to load
it. While thus engaged he heard the train
approaching at terrific speed and hurried
back to remove the obstruction from the
track, probably through fear of wrecking
the express. He raised the tie to his shoul-
der, and while struggling under the load was
struck by the fast running train and instant
ly killed. One leg and one arm were broken
but the body was not otherwise badly man
gled.
The unfortunate man leaves wife and a
family of five children, all grown to man
hood and womanhood, He was 63 years DID,
native of Ireland, and had been resident
of Ravenna for many years, having assisted
in laying the first iron on the. A. & G. w. Ry.
through this place. He was an industrious
law-abiding citizen, and his name is worthy
of mention among those associated with hon.
orable endeavor and faithful attention to the
interests of home and family. The funeral
was held yesterday morning from the Cath
olic Church, of which he was member
Both the railroad company and the family
ofthe deceased demanded an inquest, which
was held yesterday.

RE-CAPTURED!
Frank German,
alias Edwards
Recaptured and Returned to Ravenna
where He Once More Enjoys the
Hospitality of Sheriff Hart.


Last Saturday Sheriff Hart received tel
egram from Youngstown, stating that the
much wanted Frank Edwards had been
re-captured at Canton by Youngstown Off
GERS, and was then in custody at the Mahon-
ing Capital. The Sheriff and his Deputy,
Richard. Evans, took the first train for
Youngstown, and returned with the more or
less famous prisoner the same evening.
This simple announcement will be read
with much interest and satisfaction by the
people of Ravenna and Portage County.
Edwards, alias German, is the fellow who
burglarized the residence of Nelson Con-
verse in the Summer of 1898, and whose des-
perate encounter with young Pierce Converse
are of too recent and thrilling occurrences
rest, Indictment, and escape from jail, are
also matters of lively recollection, and re-
quire no rehearsal to resurrect them.
1t seems that the authorities of Youngstown
had known for some time that Edwards, %
whose real name is Frank German, belonged
in that city, where his father is living, and
where he has brother engaged in the saloon
business.
They followed up several clues, arriving
at a number of places only to find that their
bird had just flown. But they sawed. wood
and knowing that their man had been in
Youngstown, relied on the almost absolute
certainty of his getting "too smart" and
"too smart" he was, for he persisted in re-
manning in his home haunts, and was finally
| located in Sullivan's Theater Comique, last
Friday night, at Canton, and promptly cap
tured by the Youngstown Chief of Police
Mcdonald. He was taken to Youngstown
and thence to Ravenna.
He is very reticent, and keeps his OWL
counsel, like the true professional that he is
The rascal is nursing an ugly looking
wound in his left ankle, said to have beer

He is suspected of completely in an ex

and it is claimed that he is wanted in Y oungs
town for robbing safe in Peters drug stor'
one year ago.
He and pal named Tuttle are also charg
ed with having shot man named Stewart
near Youngstown, last February.
He told Sheriff Hart that he went to Den

VIENNA jail, but of course no dependence cal

He had been out of jail one year and 2

Fire at the Fair Grounds.

Between and 9o'clock Monday night fire
broke out in the stables about opposite the
Office and barn of the Western Reserve Stock
Farm. The alarm was sounded and the boys
of the department responded in good time,
but could do nothing with their hose, as
there were no fire plugs near enough to be
available. A terrible volume of flame reach
ed out its fiery arms and enveloped the large
barn and Office, which, with a long row of
stables, were entirely consumed. The Floral
Hall and other buildings of the Agricultural
Society were in great danger, but a strict
watch was maintained. and fortunately no
other fires resulted. There were five horses
in the large barn, all of which were gotten
out safely. A few articles of stable service
were saved, but about 400 bushels of grain,
large quantity of hay and straw and nearly
all the stable and Office fixtures were burned
The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary ori-
gin, but whether started out of pure cussed
ness or by some tramp is unknown. There
was no insurance on the property.

Death of a Pioneer.

Lewis E. Jennings died at his home in the
eastern part of Ravenna township shortly
before midnight, Friday, October 26, 1894, of
paralysis. The funeral was held the follow
ing Monday at II o'clock, from the house,
Rev. Andrew Wilson officiating. A very
large company of friends and neighbors
assembled to pay the last tribute to this hon.
orable and useful life.
Mr.. Jennings was born July IA, 1911, on
the farm where he passed his entire life.
He was married, January %, 1888, in the
house where he was born, to Miss Elizabeth
Knowlton, a native of Maine. Twelve child
rem were born to them, seven of whom sur
vive, with the wife and mother. They are,
Mrs. Hannah H. Vain, of Cleveland, Eliza
beth Amelia, George W, Mrs. Martha w.
Gledhill, Helen NJ, Arminta L., and Albert
B., all of Ravenna. The other five died in
early life. Squire L. Jennings, of this city,
who will be 81 next December, a brother of
the deceased, is the only surviving mem
Der of hisfather's family. OF Mr.. Jennings
boyhood companions, Howard Carter, of n
Y. State, and VIM. Price, of Ravenna, are
believed to be the only survivors.
October 3rd, 1891, Mr.. Jennings was run
into by an express train on the Erie erailroad
receiving injuries from which he never fully
recovered and which very materially short
ened his life, as up to the time of this acci
dent he was in sound health and seemed as
robust as in his middle life His injuries
caused paralysis that deprived him of speech
for few days, but although he never fully
recovered the use of his vocal powers, they
were gradually restored to him sufficiently
to enable him to converse almost as readily
as before,
Mr.. Jennings was a man universally re
spected. He was industrious, economical
and honest, kind, neighborly and sympa
thetic, and was man of much thought anc
information. The history of his life is tina
of Ravenna township, and the record of it
events would form volume of interesting
and profitable reading. The world has too
few such men as he.
