FINE PIECE OF DRIVING.

When word reached Camp Bushnell
that the Canton excursion train had left
the track rear tNe station there was great
excitement among the boys of the local
companies of the Eighth Regiment, who
anxiously expected friends. The regi-
mental hospital corps was called out for
rvice in case it was needed, and in less
than two minutes the squad was on board
the ambulance. The Pittsburs dispatch
describes the run as follows;
"Driver John Rohrer, Of Canton, who
Thought he might have friends in the
wreck, started out on a record-breaking
drive The roads out of camp were
blocked with double lines of vehicles,
but he gave the two new black horses
their heads, and by the most skillful
driving made a flying run down to Broad
street. There the crush OF conveyances
was even greater, but Rohrer let his team
out. TIE rest of the boys in the ambu-
lance yelled at the top of their voices for
the road They were going to succor
their friends and took chances. One
collision took place soon after the boule-
ward was reached, but tae heavy ambu'
lance was not damaged and the team did
not even stop The roar of the men, the
thundsr of the horses and the rumble of
the wheels could be hearl far ahead, and
that only prevented other collisions The
run Of five miles was made in record time.
Then it was found that the services of the
squad were not needed. Drs. Wuechter
and Hobbs, meantime, had riden across
country and reached the wrecK at about
the same time the ambulance did. The
trip showed the efficiency and daring of
the corps and the ability of Driver
Rohrer to navigate through phenomen-
al crowd without accident"
The Dispatch gives the following list
of Stark county people injured Charles
LOTUS, Alliance, ankle badly wrenched
John Madden, Alliance, severe scalp
wound Fred Frey, Alliance, shoulder
hurt; Michael Katschka, New Salem,
hurt about the back; Clinton Dickerhoof,

1t is reported that Chancey M.
Depew is authority for the state
ment that America will never fern
an alliance with England, but there
is more LIKELIHOOD for union Of
this country and France, as their
interests are more identical, both
having the republican form of
government, and therefore they
have the same aspirations and
should al least maintain cordial rela-
tons. This is altogether foreign to
the sentiment that is supposed to
exist IN France toward the United
States. From newspaper accounts
and expressions attributed to French
officials and tradesmen the feeling
against America is decidedly bitter
at the present time, so much SO that
Americans in Paris are subject to
open insult in public places and the
American colors are jeered and spit
upon.
