The completion of the scenic railway
to the top of grand old Mount Tamal-

a few months ago was an incident of
decided Importance to San Francisco
and its environs. The difficulty of
reaching the summit had for years
prevented strangers as well as others
from witnessing therefrom one of the
most sublime scenes it is vouchsafed
to man to view. With the completion
of the scenic railway, however, the op-

Salem, Juniats county, Cloyd Bru-

and Frank Ferree aged about %
years was wounded in the head. The
accident took place in the East Salem
band room. The East Salem band
keeps open house for its members
The place il . sort of q club room for
the village bloods. Monday was a
rainy day and that brought q number
of the young men of the town and
vicinity to the band room. Oloyd
Brubaker, had breech loading shot
gun that was not working sstisfact-
orily, and he mentioned that fact to
his friends there. A young man
named Daniel Vs.nOrmer, aged about
~ years was present. He believed
he could remedy the defect. He
took the gun, and Uoyd took up a
banjo, and began playing. Frank
Ferree was along side of Brubsker
looking at him picking the banjo.
While Brubaker, and Ferree were
thus engaged, VanOrmer was exam
lining the gun. He swung the bar
rel and stock back on the hinge that
connects them, and then tried to
bring the stock and barrel to gether,
but they would not fit, the cartridges
projected just far enough from the
barrel to prevent stock and barrel
from joining or fitting together.
Believing that slight stroke en- the
upper side of the barrel would cause
the stock Id barrel to come together
he gave it sharp tap, the stroke was
hard enough to cause the stock piece
to strike the caps of the cartridges
with forca enough to set them off.
The explosion itself was alarming,
but horror of horrors when Brubaker
and Fsrree fell to the floor the scene
was beyond description. VsnOrmer
was almost frantic over the dreadful
result of the discharge of the gun.
Ferree was alarmingly wounded and
Brubaker lay on the floor dead, with
the top of his head blown of. The
load or the greater part of it had
struck him in tue forehead and torn
the upper part of his skull off expos
ing the brain and scattering part OF
it in all directions about the room.
Ferree is not dangerously shot about
the head and neck. The funeral of
Cloyd Brubaker took place on Thurs
day. His father John Brubaker,
lives but a short distance from Salem.

Professional Base Ball.

There is some agitation at present
as to whether Napoleon should have
g. professional base bali team or not
for this coming season.
A meeting of all enthusiasts will be
held Friday evening in the Probate
Court room at 7:3O o'clock, when
talks on the subject will be given by
ID. G. Brown, NJ. Donnelly, Jas. W.
Hanna, Manager Gennett, of the De-
fiance team and other prominent en-
thusiasts of Napoleon. There is no
reason why Napoleon cannot start
and support q professional team and
it only takes little push to get it
going. The livery stable men, sa-
loon and restaurant keepers and all
business men should turn out and
get something for Napoleon that will
be like having q balloon ascension
three or four times a week, especially
when it can be had for little or moth
ing and soon be self supporting.
Keep Friday evening in your mind.

MIAMI & ERIE CANNAL.
In a Short Time it Will be q
Thing of the Past-The Mer-
Ger County Reservoir to be
Sold,

The board of public works, the
chief engineer of the public works,
and the canal commission In Joint
session at Columbus determined
yesterday that the state canal lands
in Celina, Mercer county, are not
necessary for the maintenance or
operation of any of the state canals,
and decided that they should be sold.
Nineteen small pieces will be sold,
which have been appraised at an ag-
gregate value of $2,S75. Several
leases were also made of the follow
ing canal lands in the Mercer reser-
voir, for oil and gas purposes, 40
acres in section s, appraised at 81
600; 40 acres in section is, appraised
at So, 900, and 40 acres in section II,
appraised at $4,000. The rental on
the land is 6 per cent. per annum OF
the appraised value.
The action of the state officers in
deciding to sell the reservoir property
is only the beginning of the end. II
will be impossible to maintain the
Miami & Erie canal without this
feeder. The land occupied by the
reservoir is very valuable for oil pro-
ducing purposes, which is the main
object in the sale of the land. DE.

OBITUARY.

PINDER. Ann Elizabeth Pinder,
daughter of Benjamin and Sarah
Pinder, was born in Washington
county, Md, May 10th, 1884. With
her fathers family she removed to
Henry county, o., in the fall of 1949.
Was marriedto j. w. Fiser in Tiffin,
O., April 2Sth. 1857, where they re-
sided until March, 1864, when they
removed to their present home in
Harrison township, where she died
March 9th, 1897. Mrs. Fiser was
among the pioneers of this county,
her father being one of the earliest
settlers in Harrison township. She
was sister of the we'll known Capt.
Ben. Pinder, now resident of Ne
braska. She was u woman of much
patient courage, and her unfailing
cheerfulness of'disposition made it q
habit to look for the ''silver liningn
to every cloud. she was a kind
neighbor, and of warm and gener7
GUS impulses; the unfortunate al
ways found in her q friend. But in
the home circle she will most sadly
be missed, it was there her virtues
shone brightest. Mrs. Fiser was the
center of a happy home, a faithful af-
fectionate wife, q loving devoted
mother, with her, self was always
secondary. No sacrifice was too
great for those she loved. Her tender
care had it's reward; her children
grew up to fill useful and respected
positions in society and she lived to
know that years of maturity but
added love and respect for her Life
for her had its sorrows; four of her
children preceded her to the spirit
world, the last dearly loved daught-
er whose untimely death, it will be
remembered, so Shocked and grieved
her many friends. No doubt this
had an influence in loosing the cords
of her own life. But now at last
''life's fitful fever" ended, she sleeps
well, beloved and regretted by all
who knew her. She leaves faith

four sons. ***

"STOP THE TRAIN |"
BANDITS ATTEMPT A HOLD
UP NEAR TOLEDO,
On the Cincinnati, jackson and
Macl1iDaw ROad-The At
tempt Proves Unsuccessful.

TOLEDO. o., March 13.-A decided
train robbery occurred Thursday
night near Samaria, sixteen miles
north of here, on the Cincinnati,
jackson and Mackinaw road. Two
men got on the train at jackson, tax
ing seats some distance from each
other and pulling their slouch hats
over their eyes. Conductor Foster
was making out his reports in the
smoker, when suddenly he heard one
of the men say, This is the place"
This did not cause him to notice the
speaker particularly until he chanced
to glance up and discover a masked
man holding revolver beneath his
nose.
stop the train!" said the bandit,
''and don't be long about it, either,n
exclaimed the other, who WAS rugged
out in similar fashion. The conduc-
tor reached for the bell cord just as
Expressman William Barrett entered
from the express car. Seeing the
situation, he reached for his hip
pocket to draw weapon, when he
was quickly covered and ordered to
throw up his hands. AT this moment
the brakeman entered, but the muz-
zle of revolver pointed toward him
caused him to leave precipitately.
The men peered out through the
window anxiously as the train slack
ened in speed, as ii expecting assis-
tance. Their actions indicated that
they were greatly disappointed that
no one appeared After number of
decidedly uncomplimentary remarks
they slowly backed out OF the car,
revovers being still pointed at the
conductor and messenger, until they
reached the platform, whom they
leaped from the the train and were
quickly lost in the darkness. That q
holdup had been planned, but the
plans miscarried in some manner, is
quite evident. There was a large sum
of money in the express car, and had
the raid been successful the bandits
would have been well paid. Special
officers from this city have been
securing that section of the country
for the would robbers.

OfInterest to Teachers.

The time honored custom among
district school teachers of giving to
the pupils at the last day of the
school year, some little souvenir in
in the way of beautiful and artistic
card, rather grows in favor as the
years go by. Few can imagine the
pleasure such little acts upon the
part of the thoughtful teacher af-
fords the average pupil. The pub
fishers of school cards have more
than kept pace with theadvance and
improvements of this progressive
age. What used to be mere daubs
in chrome cards have now become
works of art. Our progressive drug
