OF the many accidents that have taken
place about the manufacturing plants Of
Benwood, one of the most exciting oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon. 1t was
not only exciting, but extremely
dangerous for a number of the
employees of the new coke plant at the
Riverside had a narrow escape from
death. The accident occurred on the in
cline running from the coke plant to the
stock house, to which the coke is hauled
up the incline and dumped as fast as
drawn from the ovens. Foreman Frank
Lawrence, Engineer Barber and brake
man were inspecting the machinery
operating the cars on the incline.
and were In an empty car that
had been drawn almost to the top of
the incline, when the iron cable broke
some distance ahead. The car started
down the incline, which is about % feet
high and $50 feet long, at terrific speed.
The broken cable flew up in the air and
nearly threw the car from the incline.
The car, luckily kept the track. and
the men had presence of mind enough to
remain inside, except the engineer, who
made an effort to get out.
Fortunately for him, however he did
not succeed on account of the speed of
the car, and was saved from what would
likely have been his death. The other
men realized their peril but made no
attempt TO leave the car, which went
down the incline so fast that it seemed to
run only on the two rear wheels. AS
soon as the men in the car UNI
derstood what had happened, they
shouted, and every person in front
got out of the road and watched
the flying car, expecting the men at al
most any instant to be dumped out and
killed. The car kept on the track, how
ever, and dashed into loaded coke car
at the bottom of the incline. and its speed
was stopped. The men were thrown out
but none were injured.

Persian. Like Cigarettes.
From the London Mail.

1t appears that the smoking of cigarettes
has of late years spread almost rapidly
in Persia as in this country. Cigarette to-
bacco was first introduced as an agricul-
tural product into the province Of Ghilan in
1876 The seed was imported from Sam
scum, in Turkey. and the introduction of the
plant into the northern province of Persia
has had the effect of introducing the prac-
tice of cigarette smoking throughout the
country. 1t has become so general that
even the lowest peasant now goes about
with a cigarette case and cigarette paper.
