GRAHAM STATION, Aug. 10, '96. -
This beautiful little village wears a
mournful aspect to-day for Charles
CLARK, one of it's most esteemed
and highly respected young men
lay dead, he having been struck
and run over by the north bound
Ohio River Railroad freight train
last night at about 10 o'clock, kill
ing him instantly.
1t seems that Mr.. Clark who
lived with his father, had been
down at the station in the after
noon and was on his return home,
which is about a half mile above,
and had sat down by the side of
the track to rest where he had
either been overcome by the ex-
IRENE heat or had fallen asleep
unaware of an approaching train,
when he was found lying by the
side of the track alittle later, terri
bly, mangled. His friends were
Immediately notified, Justice of the
Peace, Wheatly, at New Haven,
dispatched, witnesses summoned,
and1n.inquest held, which disclos-
ed the facts as above recited.
Charles was about 81 years of age
and a son of Hon. and Mrs. w. FL.
Clark, aged parents, whom he
leaves to mourn his loss, together
with two brothers, Herman and
Frank, and four sisters, the young
est, Miss Clark, who lives at her
fathers, and Mrs. Cook, Mrs.
James III. Sayre and Mrs. Allen,
who reside in the neighborhood.
The interment took place this
AFTERNOON from the family resi-
dence at two o'clock. It has been
sad day for Graham Station. An
immense concourse of people from
far and near came to bear testi-
mony of their love and esteem for
him, whom they followed to his
last resting place in the family
cemetery, on the Clark farm, lying
lust below the Herman Clark place.
His kindly ways were recounted
by the people and many were the
commissioners called forth by the
occasion. Charley will be missed,
and sadly, too, from among our
people, and to those who knew him
best it is but natural that they
should feel that they had met with
personal loss.
In the valley whereby flows the
great Ohio, surrounded by the hills
he loved so well, near the beautiful
village where his home was, Charles
Clark sleeps his last sleep; and /,
as his friend, lay this last tribute
upon his grave. Il. Il. p.
The Register extends its sincere
sympathy to the family of the de-
ceased.
Disturbing Public Worship.
A lot of roughs who have been
terrorizing over the people of Coop
Ell district, and particularly about
Brighton and Ambrosia, Sunday
at the Camp Meeting at Ambrosia,
during the services in the evening,
they jumped onto two young boys,
one of whom was named Hall, and
the others name we could not learn,
and brutally beat them with clubs
and rocks, and afterwards using
their knives. There was no provo
cation for the assault, and it was
only their devilish ruffianism and
their desire to engage in trouble
that led them to perpetrate this
murderous assault upon two in
offensive boys. No arrests have
been made as yet. 1t is time the
strong arm of the law was being
enforced against these rutfians.
We Withhold names, out of consid-
Grafton of the feelings of their par
ents, who are good, law-a-biding
people.
Luck.
