STRUJK BY A ROCKET.
A DanvilIe Lady Meets With a Painful Acct
dent.

An unfortunate accident occurred
says the Danvlle Nez0s, just as the
soldiers marched over from South
Danville. A rocket, shot from the
balcony of the Montour House, in
stead of flying upward, took down
ward course and like a blazing arrow
penetrated the crowd of people on the
court house steps; just escaping the
head of Rev. w. l. Steans it selected
as its victim Mrs. Amos Vastine, of
Danville. 1t struck the woman in the
shoulder, making deep and danger
Gus wound. Mr.. Robert Russell,
who was standing near flew to her as
slstance and drawing the rocket out
of the wound just in time to avert an
explosion. But for the forethought OF
Mr.. Russell, the horror of fire would
have been added to the injury alresdy
inflicted. Mrs. Vastine instantly faint
ed from the effects of the shock and
the pain. She was carried into the
court house. DR.. McCuaig was the
first to respond TO the call; he was soon
joined by Drs. Klmerer and Shultz.
The flow of blood was stopped and
the wound dressed, after which the in
jlred woman was removed to her
home.

Destroyed by Fire.

The alarm of fire created consid-
erable excitement on the streets
about ten O'Clock Saturday evening.
The three fire companies soon had
their hose carriages out and using
the illuminated sky as their guide
located the fire, which was between
Third and Fourth Streets, near the
fair ground. 1t started in barn
belonging to George Trump, and
had gained considerable headway
before it was discovered. The build
ing was filled with hay and straw,
which furnished fuel for the flames,
and they spread so rapidly, that in
few minutes an adjoining barn,
also the property of Mr.. Trump,
was also on fire. The united effort
of the three companies kept the
flames from spreading any further
although it looked for a while as if
several buildings in the immediate
vicinity would go up in smoke. Be-
side the hay and straw, Mr.. Trump
also lost a lot of wheat, corn and
oats. He carried no insurance, and
his loss is total one.
The building was evidently set
on fire, but the perpretrator will
probably never be found.

The Hebrew residents of our
town observed the Jewish day of
atonement on Monday. Alexander
Bros, Gidding & Co., L. Gross and
Lowenberg's all closed their stores,
and attended special services at
Danville. The Day of Atonement
is the tenth day of the seventh
month of the Hebrew calendar. The
month is called Tishri, and is OBJ
served in accordance with the divine
command, and found throughout
Pentateuch, especially in the twenty
third chapter Of Leviticus, wherein
it is declared that the day shall be
one of most holly convocations. AT
dark of the second day, the four
sounds of the rams horn announce
conclusion of the fast. Yom Kin
pur, as the feast is known to the
Jews, means abstenance from food
and drink and a continuous exercise
while it lasts. During this period
all kinds of festivities are avoided
which might in any way reflect on
the observance of the feast.

Mrs. E. P. Williams.

Mrs. E. P. Williams died at her
home on West Fifth Street Satur-
day morning. 1t was just about
1890 when, surrounded by her
family and a few friends, her spirit
took its flight to the great beyond.
For the past few years her health
had not been very good, and it was
thought by the family that a change
of country might benefit her and she
was taken to Connecticut, but the
change proved of no avail, and her
condition grew steadily worse. On
Tuesday of last week she was
brought home, where she fingered
until Saturday when the end came.
The deceased was about fifty four
years of age and leaves to mourn
her loss, a husband, son and two
daughters. She was we'll known in
this town, having resided here for a
number of years. Friendliness was
always warmly reciprocated on her
part, and those who knew her easily
recognized generous disposition,
and a nature that attracted by its
graciousness and kindly manner.
The funeral took place from the
house Tuesday afternoon at ago,
conducted by Rev. R. H. Heron,
of Nyack, N. Y. Interment in
Rosemont Cemetery.

Dedication Day.

Today will be made a notable
one among the Catholics of Ard
more. In the morning at 1O:30
O'Clock the Right Reverend Theo-
phile Meerschaert, DID,, bishop of
the diocese, will dedicate the
church, Immediately following this
high mass will be sung. Some ex-
cellent music will be rendered by
a choir imported for this occasion.
The bishop will be assisted in his
varied duties by a large number of
priests from Oklahoma.
At O'Clock in the afternoon the
dedication of the convent will oc-
cur, and at s o'clock in the even
ing the solemn benediction.
Those ceremonies will no doubt
be new to many of our people, and
large crowd will undoubtedly be
present at each occasion, all of
whom can feel certain of receiving
a kind and hospitable welcome.

one Reason Why.

If government officials will scan
the figures as given by the Ard
more Jail they will readily see a
saving clause in transportation in
keeping the Jail at Ardmore rather
than at Pauls Valley. 1t will
amount to sum sufficient in it
self in a very few years to build a
Jail. Taking the record for the
past twelve months we find that
during that time this United
States Jail has held 715 men, and
of that number 525 were commit
ted by Ardmore and TishOmingo
commissioners. The enormous ex-
pense attached to the daily NOV
ing of those prisoners from either
Ardmore or Tishomingo to Pauls
Valley is very apparent.

The Choctaw Vote.

THE REUNION.
It wss . Gale Dsy for tAs Old VET
eraas. Who WeIeomed the Thous-
ands of Visitors Yesterda,.

S0SAuoS Was Olu SOIOlorS' day
IN Ardmore. The blue and the
gray we're reunited, and but for
the vari-colored badges there is
but one old soldier element-brave
defenders Of home, country and
Old Glory.
AT an early hour wagons, loaded
with pleasure-seekers old and
young began to arrive from every
direction to cheer the hearts of the
old veterans by their presence.
About $3.50 O'Clock the old sol
diers formed in line at the old
court house and marched to the
grounds to the music of the fife
and drum. Mayor John L. Gait.
as officer of the day, mounted,
headed the procession and was ac-
companied by Col. David Redfeld,
also mounted - representing re-
spectively the gray and the blue.
The veterans followed under their
respective flags, the Confederates
having their silken banner, the
gift of ladies of Ardmore to their
camp; this was followed by the
boys IN blue with a very large
star spangled banner.
On reaching the grounds Col.
Redfield called the crowd to order
and introduced Hon. Henry M.
Furman, who, in the absence of
the regular speakers, entertained
the audience with a few we'll -cho-
sen remarks. Later, Judges S. B.
Bradford and r. H. West, the ora
tors of the day, each pleasantly re-
viewed the happy present occasion
with its contrast to the days gone
by. Other speakers followed on
various themes, and the dinner
hour came around.
About 1890 O'Clock the excur-
sion train of eleven coaches, from
Cleburne, Tex. arrived, and every
coach was packed, the railroad
company's representative stating
it was the heaviest excursion ever
run over the Santa Fe line. The
coaches were soon emptiei and the
crowd scattered in all directions,
many to view the town, while 9TH
ers sought the shade of the grove
where baskets and haversacks were
profusely spread and their con-
tents readily devoured.
The old veterans had a camp
established, and it did the hearts
of many a one good to see them
enjoy their old-time rations of pork
and beans, black coffee and hard
tack. So tempting was the meal
that the ladies could not resist and
bravely applied for rations, which
were handed to them in soldierly
manner. There. was an abundance
for all.
There was plenty of ice water,
and to be brief, the entire day and
program was one of the greatest
social successes that could be an
ticipated-not a solitary feature
arose to mar the harmony of the
occasion, everyone trying to be
more sociable than theSother. In
the afternoon thousands left for
their homes in the country, and
our Texas visitors on the excur-
sion train left at 10 O'Clock all in
good spirits.
