covers From HIS Injuries.

DR.. J. B. Read. who was seriously IN
jured by being struck by a falling trolley
wire at St. Julian and Whitaker streets
night before last. was resting quietly last
night.
There was a stream of callers at the
house all day inquiring as to DIR. Reads
injuries and his condition. His face is
badly lacerated and his hands are shriv-
eled from contact with the wire.
Dr. Read is satisfied that the wire was a
live" wire from the character of his in
juries. The collision was so sudden and
the contact with the wire was so short a
time that il was possible to judge only
from the nature of the wounds whether
it was. charged with electricity.
The railroad people insist that the wire
was dead" from the fact that its con-
nection with the current was severed.
1t will be some time before DR.. Read will
have recovered from his wounds entirely.
His colored driver was also more severely
injured than was first thought.

FOR BETTER ROAD AND LESS TOLL.
White Bluff Road Patrons to Appeal
TO the Courts


It is understood that a petition will he
presented TO the ordinary. soon, by prop
erty owners along the Vernon shell road.
complaining of the condition Of the road.
and its alleged excessive tolls.
a gentleman living on the road said yes
terday that the petition will be filed in a
few days.
This road is in a very bad condition, %
he said. 1T is so thin as to the shell COW
ering that heavy loads break through and
make it worse. The truck growers and
those living along the line are tired of this
state of affairs. and they ask that their
complaints receive some attention. Then,
too, the tolls are excessive. 1t costs me
- cents to come into town in my buggy
ana 30 cents or so If I send out a load of
lumber TO my place. This is too much,
and the people there cannot afford any
such tax on them. Then l understand
that no two persons hardly pay the same
toll. This is not right
The petition now being gotten up con-
tains over seventy names Of the leading
residents along the road, all owning teams
ana interested in land there. Many others
Will sign as soon as they can be seen, so
you can readily see that We have all the
people with us. And where there is such
universal dissatisfaction you may be sure
there is something loose. 1 am willing to
pay fair price for the use of the road,
If it Is kept up according TO law, but
not otherwise"
Another point made by the gentleman
was that the shell road company has never
filed its rate of tolls with the ordinary, as
the law directs.
There are now no turnpike commission
ers, 1t is said, the terms of the old members
having expired, and no new ones having
been appointed. The grand jury it is
stated, will present the names of three
men for appointment by Judge Falligant
to fill the vacancies. There are now COM
plants regarding certain roads to investi-
gate, and hence the need of turnpike COM
missiOners.
The petition will be ready for presenta-
ton TO the ordinary on Monday.

JENKINS AN ALL-AROUND THIEF
He Is Wanted by the Police for Sew
eraI Onenses.

eraI OGenses.
James Jenkins, colored, who was arrest
ed Thursday afternoon for attempting TO
rob the till of Henry Stelljes' store, was
turned over to the city court yesterday
afternoon, to be tried on several charges,
all of a similar character.
As soon as Recorder Wilson began to
investigate the case it developed that Jen-
kins was a very bad citizen, and that his
proper abiding place is the chain-gang A
negro man who was in court as a witness
in another case, recognized Jenkins as the
man who robbed his house of a lot of
clothing recently. Policeman Tullis recog-
nized him also as the man who robbed
Fred AsendOrf's store at Jefferson and
Alice streets about two months ago.
Jenkins, who is evidently very bold
thief, was detected in the robbery and was
caught by a negro in the employ of Mr.
Asendorf While Mr.. Asendorf was gone
for a policeman, two sisters of Jenkins
came up and assaulted the negro, who had
their brother in charge. The man resisted
manfully, but when Jenkins caught his
finger in his mouth he had to let GO Jen-
kins made his escape as Mr.. Asendorf was
returning with Policeman Tullls. The lat
ter pursued, but Jenkins got away in the
crowd which had been attracted to the
scene by the struggle
Solicitor Fraser can make his choice of
which charge he prefers to convict Jen-
kins upon.

HAMILTON, O., March 15.-The fam.

frightful shock at dinner. The ex-gov.

his lips, suddenly rose, staggering and
foaming at the mouth and apparently
speechless, he managed to say:

DR.. Kumlar, who lived next door, was
immediately called and discovered that
the trouble arose from drinking q strong
solution Of ammonia. Investigation
showed that q servant who had used
the amonia in cleaning silverware had
placed the bottle in the ice chest in such
q way that when the lid was closed the
contents spilled into the drinking
water. Mr.. Campbell happened to be
the first to taste. The physician ad.
ministered antidotes quickly, but Mr..
Campbell is suffeing severely from the
ammonia.

BOOK BINDING.
Its Beginning and the Transition From
Ancient to Modern Methods.

Its Beginning and the Transition From
Ancient to Modern Methods.
Il was only when writing was mad:
upon. separate pieces or sheets of q phi.
able and perishable material that bind
ing proper was invented to hold the
pieces, or sheets, together and give
strength to them and protection and
beauty.
But here, again, we must distinguish.
The pliable written sheet may be either,
rolled or folded, each giving rise to e
form Of binding peculiar to itself. The
rolled sheet 10 bound by fastening each
sheet to the other sideways and rolling
the whole from end to end. the last sheet
serving as q cover to all the rest. This
form Of binding is no doubt the more
ancient Of the two. and 1t was for a long
time in general use It was used, fol-
example, by the Egyptians-it was
probably invented by them-and 1t was
used by the Greeks and by the Romans,
and great libraries Of rolls existed 70,
some time after the Christian era, and
many industries were engaged in con
tributing to the perfection Of the bind
ing. It has, however, been superseded
tor many centuries by the folded form
OF literature, the invention of which il
attributed ITO Eumenes, king Of Perga'
mus (from whom, too. comes our parch'
ment, or skin, prepared for writing on),
in tho third century before Christ. But
If the form has disappeared the termi,
nology Of the roll has survived. and the
word ''volume, - originally a thing tina,
rs rolled or wound up. O., q rolls
now applied Unfortunately to it's sub
~stitute, the book of folded sheets.
The folded sheet, or section, as it II
called, is bound by simply sewing Of
otherwise fastening the parts Of the
sheet to n another at the back crease
or fold, and q number Of sections art
bound by fastening each Of them K
some common support at the back, st
that when all are sewed or otherwise
fastened they may yet be free to oper
and to shut at pleasure at the front o.
''fore edge"
The invention Of the folded sheet thus
gave rise to the invention Of modern
binding, which, in its essence, is the
union at the back Of the folded sheets,
which together constitute the folded
book, or. a. I may say, despite the la
tent contradiction, the folded volume.
