BRAIN CONCUSSED.
UNFORTUNATE VICTIM OF A
SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
The South Cleveland Avenue Crossing
of the Ft. Wayne Railroad the
Scene-Tried to Cross Ahead of
an Oncoming Train.

At about o'clock yesterday afternoon,
George Tucker, aged 81 years, a plasterer
residing in Rose township, Carroll county,
was seriously injured at the Fort Wayne
crossing in South Cleveland avenue.
Luoker, after transaoting business in the
city, had started to drive home He had
reached the crossing which is not pro.
vided with gates, and stopped his horse to
await the passing of an east-bound freight
train. After the train had pulled through
Lucker started to cross the track. He
did not see the approach of train In the
other direction, and the pilot of the en-
gine struck the rear part of the wagon
with terrific force, smashing 1t into
splienters. Luoker was then hurled to
the ground, striking on his head and
shoulders.
Several persons in the vicinity saw the
accident and Immediately rushed to the
assistance of tie injured man. Messrs
Gallagher and Beach were the first to
reach the prostrate man, who was lying
unconscious at the side OF the road. DR..
MCGEE was called and rendered medical
aid until the arrival Of Shilling's ambu-
lance, when the unfortunate man was
taken to Aultman hospital, and DR.. S. B.
Post, the Pennsylvania Company's sur
geon, took charge OF the patent. An ex-
animation showed few slight abrasions
Of the skin on the arms and legs, but no
fractures were found.
Lucker, who had regained conscious
ness during the examination, again re-
lapsed and became verv violent. He was
only restrained by the combined efforts
of several attendants. He desired to go
home and was only quleted by the use of
opiates. He is suffering with concussion
of the brain and his condition is serious
His relatives have been notified of the acci.
dent and unless his condition rapidly I'M
proves, will come to the city to assist in
caring for him.
While nothing but the ringing of a
small bell protects the crossing in South
Cleveland avenue, yet it appears that the
ACCIDENT was due to the carelessness of
the unfortunate victim
Reports from the hospital this after
noon state that Lucker is greatly i'm
proved and that he was yesterday suffer-
ing form slight concussion of the BRAIN
He will probably be able to leave for
home this evening.

CURED yesterday afternoon about .
O'Clock, Ralph Robb, the fourteen years.
old son of Attorney J. L. Robb, Of East
Ninth street, was hauling dirt to the
dump" in the East creek bottoms, and
was using one-horse spring wagon. He
had finished his work and started for
home when his horse suddenly became
frightened and dashed down East Tusoa-
rawas street at terrific pace. Several
teams in the street were narrowly missed,
and the thoroughly frightened horse mad
ly tore along the street until 1t reached
the East creek bridge, where 1t collded
with heavy farm wagon. The light
spring wagon on which Ralph was riding
was dashed to splinters by the contact
and the boy was hurled fully twenty feet
into the air and dashed against the iron
bridge rail. He was terribly injured, and
was unconscious when the passers-by who
had seen the accident, rushed to his as
sistance A call was at once sent in for
Shilling's ambulance, which made q
quick run to the scene. The runaI way
horse turned into Sherrick avonue, and
Mr. Rnbb who was reading upon the front
porch o: his residence, saw the animal
come dashing up the road. He Vrasped
the situation at once and ran over to
Tuscarawas street, and was soon at the
side of his injured son. The boy was
placed in the ambulance and taken to
his home, where Drs f. J. March and
G. II, Evans, who had been sent for, soon
arrived and examined the injuries. The
left leg was broken about five inches
above the knee, long cash was cut in
the back Of his head, laying the skull
bare, the lid of the right eye was torn, "a
deep cash was cut clear across his
chin, and scarcely an inch OF his body was
uninjured. Ralph was not entirely put
out, however, even by the terrible in
juries he had received, and he plucklly
withstood the operations of the physicians
without taking an anaesthetic The |
nervy little fellow is doing as we'll as can
be expected and while grave fears are en-.
tertained for his recovery, DR.. Marchand, |
the family physician, who is now in |
charge, thinks he will pull through all

SILVER SENTIMENT.
Mr. NeWberne Gives the Result OF
His observations.

His observations.
r. Z. L. Newberne, who is in charge
OF the Indian reservations of the
western part OF the State has re-
turned from an extended trip through
out the East. He travelled to the At
lantic Coast over the Northern route
and returned via the Southern route.
In all the States through which he
passed he discussed the political situa-
ton with all classes of people, es
pecially workingmen and farmers. He
also talkeI with many rAiloral em-
ployes.
"The farmers" he said, al found
are all for silver. The average labor
ing nan declared for Bryan and in
most instances the railroad employees
were for him. l found some railroad
men who were for Bryan and silver,
but who stated that they were COM
PEELED to hurrah for Mckinley. Never
theless they said they would vote as
they pleased, and would not be gov
erned by what their employers desired
when they went into the booths on
election day.
Il rode many miles with q miner
from the copper mines of Michigan
and he said that all of the people in
that region we're going 10 vote for
Bryan.
ain New York city talked with
several Tammany men, including Con-
gresham Turner, and they all as
sured me that Bryan would carry
New York city and State.
"In San Francisco everybody seemed
to be for Bryan, and il that city does
not give him big majority am very
much mistaken. In the Golden Gate
city it is common talk that the South
ern Pacific railroad has made each of
lis station agents chairman of Nc
Kinlev club, and that fact seems 10
stimulate the movement for the other
man.
cit lie evident that the Mckinley
forces have got plenty of money, and
also, that they are spending it freely.
The Hanna newspapers have an
nounced that none of his big corrup-
ton fund was going into the goldbug
press, but there's no truth in such as
sertions. Those who want money and
will claque for gold can get it.
al believe it is the duty OF all the
people who are on the side of the peo.
pie to vote for Bryan and bime tallism."
