The Sunday School excursionists
from McConnesville came in Wednes-
day in nine coaches over the y. & o. R.
and passed the day in an enjoyable
manner. During the dinner hour they
were treated to delightful concert in
Muskingum Park by Arnolds band and
at one o'clock they were entertained
by an exhibition run of the fire de-
psrtment. The run was a failure.
One of the horses, "Kitp fell at the
corner of Putnam and Front streets
and lost considerable time getting on
her feet. When an attempt was made
to make the coupling above Scanned

of the wagon, throwing two fremen
down and the run really ended in a
fzzle, though not by fault of any of
the firemen. The excursionists re.
turned by special train at six p IN.

who was in the baggage-car of the
wrecked passenger train, escaped, it

bruises and severe shaking up, and
continued to perform his duties on the
road. However, when he came in Sun
day night from his run on train No. 4,
he was seized with fainting fit just
after he left the train and was com
PEELED to spend the night at the depot
in Parkersburg, being unable to be re-
moved to his boarding place. Today
he was still in precarious condition.
He has sustained no visible wounds,
but suffers intensely. 1t seems to be a
case of complete and general collapse,
his nervous system being shattered by
the shock and the succeeding reaction.
