DIED..

BEAR-In Worthington, March Is,
1895, Mrs. Mary E. Bear, widow OF
the late w. M. Bear, in the list
year of her age.
Mrs. Bear (nee Clark was born in
Mercer county, Penn, Sept. S, 1924
Her parents were members of the
United Presbyterian church, and
taught her the principles of morality
and christianity from early childhood
In her seventeenth year she united
with the M. E. church, of which she
continued an active and consistent
member till death. On June, 26, 1S49,
she was united in marriage with Rev.
w. NJ. Bear, of the Erie M. E. con-
ference, with whom she cheerfully
shared the varied experiences con-
nected with the labors of
the itinerant ministry. In
1873 she, with her husband and
family, came west and located on a
farm near Bigelow, Mimi, since
which time her home has been in this
part of the state. For several years
she has lived with her son-in- law, Mr..
B. F. Thurber, and has been a moth
er to his motherless children. All
who knew her admired her christian
character, and multitudes will have
occasion to rejoice through all eterni
ty because she lived. Two sons and
one daughter survive her to mourn
their loss. They, with the bereaved
grandchildren, have the sympathy of
the community in their hour of sor-
row. But they may rejoice even in
their sorrow in the assurace that she
is gone to a better and more endur-
ing inheritance.
The funeral took place on Sunday
the 18th, at the NJ. E. church, her
pastor, Rev. w. j. Robinson offici-
ating. Thence her remains were
borne to the Worthington cemetery
and laid by the side of her husband
to await the great day.

Geo. W.. Wilson,. The result, in
my opinion, will be disastrous to the
business interests of the town. Think
it safe to say that we will lose $4,000
trade in the next year. It will in
crease our taxes if we make any pub
lie improvements, and as matter of
course the laboring class will suffer
as there will not be as much work. I
!: also think it will knock out electric
flights for this year, as expenses will
tbe heavy in other directions.
Il G. NJ. Crandall: It was the result
lof hard work; don't think the town
twill go to pieces. The men elected
have the interests of Worthington at
Heart as much as those on the de-
| feated ticket. The question of Ii
fcense- or no license is simply ques-
Ition of governmental policy and men

supposed to have originated from the re-

Cooper's Double Saw Gin

Mr.. J. ". Cooper, of Mayesviile, whose
improved Cotton Gin WAS noticed some time
ago. has just returned from Juniper, Ga,
where he went to see and operate a new gin
built by the Lummus Gin Company on his
pattern. This gin was built uv the Com
pany at their " offer and expense. after
one of the firm had visited Mr.. Cooper and
examined his model gin-so impressed was
he with the construction Of Mr.. Cooper's gin
and the work done by it.
The leading feature in the construction of
Mr. Cooper's gin is that it has double saws
one set above the other. This arrangement
secures many advantages, principal among
which are greater speed and better sample.
He has received plumbers of Inquiries about
his gin from cotton men all over The c%ouotrv.
since it WAS brought to public notice, and
Texas men especially, have been much sur
prised at the quality of the sample. One
Texas party was so much surprised-and
apparently doubtfu;-that the gin really did
the work that the samples sent by Mr.. Cooper
Indicated, that be sent a sample Of his own
seed cotton to be ginned and reformed to
him. This Mr.. Cooper has done, but has not
vet beard from him since it was sent.

A ~DEPLORABLE TRAGEDY.
In Attempting to Board a Tram
Mr.. E.. .. Harvin is Nor
tally Injured.

On Saturday evening one Of the most deplor-
able tragedies occurred at the Atlantic Coast
Line Depot that has ever happened N this
CITY. A man 10 the prime of life and in the
full vigor Of manhood was ground TO death
Der cath the car wheels, aud this fatal result
WAS caused by his own recklessness. His
death lies Al his own door.
Mr. L. D. Haryin. Of Naming, had been
in the city on h~u/1ress nnd intended %reinrn-
ing home on the Charleston train that leaves
here Al 5 SO p. M. H was late in reaching
tine depot, and WAS near Beli'zer's furniture
warehouse when The train pulled out from
the depot. He ran to meet the train, which
was running at a rate Of 4 to 5 miles an hour,
when he met it inst opposite the Train Dis
patcher's Office. He stopped running but
walked along rapidly when he met the train,
and as the front end Of the passenger coach
passed him, he attempted to get aboard He
reached up to grasp the railing with both
hands, Int missed II, fell against the side OF
the coach and was knocked down. AS be fell
he rolled over, throwing his left leg across
the rail, aud the rear trucks passed over It
His leg was crashed into a shapeless mass of
manpled flesh and bone from the ankle 10
within six or eight inches Of the hip. The
right foot was also mashed across the toes.
As he fell under the wheels two or three
persons who were watching him cried out 10
alarm, aud every person in the large crowd
collected on the platform Of the passenger
depot termed and looked in that direction.
They saw Mr.. Harvin lying by the side of The
track with his mangled leg across the rail.
&c attempted to sit up but fell back and lay
still. A crowd rushed to The spot and stood
in Mortified amazemei watching the unfortu-
nate mans life blood spnrt from the several
arteries of the thigh. 1t was only for a
momen or NO., but the blood had collected
in a pool beneath him and was trickliog
along the ground, when Dr.. ". T. Smith,
who was near at hand arrived. He caught
the artery with his fingers and checked the
hemorrhage. With the assistance of several
of the crowd a 1ourniquet was improvised
and The flow Of blood stopped.
A stretcher was obtained and he was taken
to the Jervey House, where Drs. China, Mood
and Dick attended him. The shock was so
great that he did not rally TO any extent,
though he spoke several times while on the
ground. He sank gradually and died al 3.3O
o'clock a. m., Sunday morning.
He leaves six children. who. are orphans
indeed, for their mother died several months
ago.
The Coast Line officials did everything in
their power for Mr.. Hsrvin. offering the nse
Of %srecial train to send for his mother.
Coroner Commander summoned a jury OF
inquest Yesterday morning and examined all
the witnesses who could throw any light 90
the circumstances of the tragedy. All OF
the testimony was Of the san e effect, that Z.
D. Harvin came TO his death through reck-
Iessly attempting 10 board train No. SO OF
the Atlantic Coast Line, while said train
was in motion, and the verdict was so rem
dered.

A MUSICAL EVENT.
a Grand Concert by the Marine
Band.

The season a, the Opera House was closed
last Friday afternoon by the concert of the
Marine Band-sn event that will long be re-
membered by those who were present. The
audience was not large, but ii was eDtbusias-
tic enough to satisfy and crafty even 80
famous an organization as the Marine Band.
This band is composed Of forty-6ve instru-
meuts as follows: One Cute, one piccolo, one
oboe, four saxophoues, two bassoons, ten B
Fat clarinets, two E fat clarinets, elk cor
nets, two trumpets, four French horns, three
slide trombones on euphonium, two bass
horns, one double bass tuba, two tubas, two
snare drums, one bass drum, one cymbal,
one tympanum.
1t is clai red, and with justice, by the ad-
mirers of the ''Band of the Nation" that il
ia the greatest and most perfect musical
organization of the kind in America, if not
in the world. Every performer is an artist,
aud the discipline is so perfect that the band
seems as if it were one great musical instruc-
meut that yields harmony at the slightest
wave of the leaders, baton. Signor Fan
ciuil, is a great leader, as the performance of
the band proves.
The programme was admirable through
out, and was all TOO short to satisfy the
audience, to whom it was a revelation.
