A WORKWAN'S
AWFUL FATE !
Instantly Killed While Riding Down the
MahanOy Plane
WAS THROWN FROM The BARNEY
A Sudden Jolting Threw the Unfortunate
Man Beneath the Wheels-He was
Horribly Mangled-A Compan-
ion Was Thrown over an
Embankment.

The Mahanoy plane was the scene Of a
distressing accident at about six o'clock last
night by which one man was instantly
killed and another seriously, but not dan
gerously injured
The man killed was Oscar Lenhart. q resi-
dent of Fnckville, who was employed as
night man in the signal tower near the foot
of the plane. He was ON his way to work
when the accident happened.
II is customary for men residing at Frack-
vile and working at "the foot" TO ride down
the plane on the barney and Lenhart fol-
lowed the custom last night accompanied
by man named Frank Lewiskie, a laborer
who was also on his way to work. They
got on the barney" before it started from
the top and descended half way without ac-
cident but when the journey was being
made down the lower half some hitch in the
machinery at the top, or in the rope, caused
the barney" to jolt so much that both men
were thrown from it. Lenhart fell under
the wheels of the barney" and was in
stantly killed, his body being frighfully
mangled. The other man was more for.
tunate. He fell clear of the wheels and
rolled down the embankment. eHe wa.
considerably bruised but not dangerously
injured. He was so badly frightened that
he hurried from the scene without ascertain
ing the fate of his companion.
Lenhart was about 81 years of age and
leaves a wife and three children.
1t is reported that orders will be issued t
prevent riding on the plane "barneys" here.
after About a week ago young man wa.
carried down into the pit at the bottom oil
the plane and so badly injured that he will
be crippled for life

phrases to present 10 you, out 1 come
I'm the spirit of comradeship, to talk
with you as we have often talked IN
the past. around the campfres in war
az well as at campfires In peace. To
me, I see by the program, has been
assigned the toast, The Country and
Its Defenders. My fellow citizens,
blessed is that country whose defenders
are patriots Blessed is that country
whose soldiers fight for It and are
willing TO give the best they have, the
best that any man has-their own lives
Ito preserve it because they love 1t.
Such an army the United States has
always commanded I'm every crisis of
her history.
From the war of the revolution to
the late civil war the men followed
that flag in battle because they loved
that flag and believed in what It repre-
sented. That was the stuff of which
the volunteer army Of '61 was made.
Every one Of them not only fought, but
they thought, and many OF them did
their own thinking and did not always
agree with their commander. That
young soldier who in the late war,
upon the battle line, ahead with the
color guard, way in front of the line.
but the enemy still In front Of him;
the general called out to the color
bearer: Bring those colors back to
the line and quicker than any bullet
that young soldier answered back,
Bring the line up to the colors.' 1t was
the voice of command. There was a
man behind It, and there was patriot
ism in his heart.
"And so more than two million brave
men thus responded and made up an
army grander than any army that ever
shook the earth with it's tread. And
then, as allies in any future war, we
have the brave men who fought
against us on southern battlefelds.
The army Of Grant and the army of
Lee are together. They are one now in
fact, in peace, in fraternity, in pur-
pose, and in an invincible patriotism,
and therefore the country is in no
danger"

A BUSY SCENE.
Large Force Of Men Engaged at the
brewery building.


The busiest scene in town is presented on
West Oak street, between Main and Jardin,
where the Columbia Brewing Company has a
force of men engaged in breaking ground for
the foundation walls of the building the
company is to erect for stabling and feed
storage purposes. The work is being pushed
as rapidly as possible and within short
time the structure will begin to assume
shape. The building proper will be 3Ox1lO
feet, the latter Dimensions being on Oak
street It will be constructed of brick and
three stories high. The uses to which it will
be put are somewhat different to what were
previously announced. The impression has
got abroad that part of the building will be
made for storage of malt and grain used in
the brewery, but it is a mistaken one, as the
new building will practically be distinct from
the brewery proper and nothing TO be used
in the latter will be stored near the
stable. The basement of the new build
ing will be from nine TO twelve feet
deep and used as the bottling department,
which is now in the main building. The
first floor will be used for the storage Of
wagons, which will be doubly beneficial, in
that il will protect the vehicles from stormy
weather and the complaints Of wagons along
avoided. The second floor will furnish
stabling for the horses and will be fitted up
with all modern Improvements. On the
third floor win be stored all hay and feed
required for the stable. The companys s
horses are at present quartered at Neis-
wenter's and the Commercial hotel stables.
The plans for the new building were made
by Mr.. w, NJ. Brewer, the president of the
Columbia Brewing Company, and are being
carried out under his personal supervision.
Mr.. Brewers many years experience in the
management and control of breweries makes
him eminently qualified to judge the re.
quirements of his company under the present
movement, and when the new building is
completed it will undoubtedly be one oi
the most substantial and complete
for the purpose Of any in the county. The
foundation walls will be two feet thick and
the brick walls eighteen inches thick. Every
attention will be given to details promising
convenience in all respect and proof against
fire. Electric lights will be distributed in ali
parts of it, so that there will be no occasion
to use lanterns or lamps at any time. The
third floor will afford storage for about two
cars of feed, besides an enormous quantity OF
hay The hosting of feed and hay into the
loft and lowering of it to the stables will be
done by the latest approved automatic
| contrivances. To-day about forty men, in
Guiding diggers, drivers and bumpers, wert
at work on the site and the force is increased
each day, as the work progresses and makel
room for additional men to take part in it.

The public schools of Centralia opened
Monday morning, and it was the occasion for
a climax in the contest for the principalship
between John H. Eisenhower who was
elected for term of three years, and Smith
Murphy, whom the directors elected this
year, at the same time dismissing Eisen-
hover The latter claims his term had not
expired and that he could not be dismissed
except for cause. He will take the case to
court. He put in an appearance at the
schools on Monday to attend to his duties,
but was met at the school door by three of
the directors who refused him admittanee as
a teacher, but would raise no objections to
his presence as mere citizen. Eisenhower
quietly withdrew. The outcome is awaited
with great deal of interest.
