AT A BAD CROSSING
l.. E. & w. TRAIN STRIKES JOSEPH
BEELER'S TEAM AT BRUCE ST.
Two Horses Killed, Wagon Dashed to
SpIinters, While Beeler Mfracu-
IOusly Escapes Serious Injury.

The fast train on the Lake Erie & West
ern railroad due in this city at 2:SO p. m.
struck a team of horses driven by Joseph
BeeIer. of haywood at the crossing of the
tracks and Bruce street, yesterday after
noon, killing both horses and completely
demolishing the wagon. Mr.. Beeler almost
miraculously escaped with only an injured
knee. Some OF those who saw the acct
dent say the train was going at high
rate of speed when it struck the team,
and Beeler claims that the whistle was
not even blown.
Mr. Beeler had driven into the city yes
terylay morning with a load of household
goods belonging TO neighbor, who was
moving into the city. He drove team of
fine bay horses hitched to a large farm
wagon. The wagon naturally made consid-
cradle noise in jolting over the rough road,
and the driver could hear little but the
humping. Mr.. Beeler thought no train was
due TO pass at that hour, and, contrary to
his usual custom, he failed to stop his
team and listen before crossing the tracks
The horses were in trot when they neared
the railroad, and not until they were on
the track did the driver see the rapidly
approaching train. 1t was then too late
10 stop the horses, and they had just placed
themselves squarely on the track when the
engine struck them.
AS quickly as the engineer saw the dan
ger he reversed his engine, but it was too
late, for the pilot struck with terrific force
between the horses and the wagon. At
the first shock Mr.. Beeler was thrown from
the wagon, alighting on his hands and
knees a considerable distance away. The
horses and wagon were dragged along the
track for almost twenty-five feet. tearing
loose the switch signals by the side of the
track. The animals were finally cast to one
side, and when the train brought to
stop one Of the horses was found to be
dead, and the other was so badly injured
that after getting on TO its feet and walk
ing some distance 1t too fell dead. The
wagon was smashed into splinters. Mr.
Beeler stunned, but was helped into
the office of the veneer works at the COR
ner, where he soon recovered He was not
seriously injured.
This crossing is one OF the most danger
Gus in the city, and il is claimed that sew
eral times the railroad company has been
asked to place a flagman there. but with
out result. Just north OF the place where
Bruce street interSectS the railroad the
tracks make a sharp turn TO the east and
as there is a switch on either side of the
main track, where freight cars are always
standing il is almost impossible for any

is also stated that the trains pass the

rHE Old CURIosITY SHOP.

Can you locate it? You ought to be
able to because you live in it. This world
is the biggest curiosity shop that we have
known anything about up to date. Jupi-
ter or Saturn may be able to discount it.
Perhaps, and perhaps not. 1t is pretty
full of people who are continually tinker
ing with themselves-patching themselves
dp-so to speak, in a medicinal way. If
they are constipated, bilious or dyspep-
tic they rush to the nearest druggist for
n violent purgative. If they are malari-
Gus, they fly for relief to that ancient
but Intellectual reliance-the sulphate of
ouinine. This is what they shouldn't do.
What they should, is to begin and pursue
a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the primest of alternatives and anti-maa
rial specifics, particularly valuable also
for rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness
and debility, and a promoter of sleep and
appetite, beneficial to all chronic invalids.
