Last Night.

The cannon BALI train on the Hemp
field division of the B. & o. railroad
struck an unknown man at the second
cut, near Mt. de Chantal, about LEO
o'clock last night. He was sitting on the
rail and was probably asleep. The wheels
passed over him, and literally ground
his body to pieces His features were SO
mangled that it will be found almost i'm
possible to identify him.
The train was moving at a rapid rate of
speed. 1t was stopped and backed to the
spot where the unfortunate man was
killed. The train crew gathered up the
remains and brought the body TO this
city. 1t was removed to the morgue on
Water street to be held for identification.
One of the train crew was of the opinion
that the body was that of stone mason
living in Elm Grove. The coroner's in
quest will be held this morning.

Local Items About Residents in the
Busy River Town.

Edward Orison, the popular young
conductor on the B., B. & NJ. F. street
railway, who makes his home in this
city, received word yesterday from his
home near Belmont, that his brother,
Oakley, had been badly bitten by vi
cious stallion last Thursday and would
probably loose the use of his left arm
as a result. The stallion has been in
the family for six or eight years and
up to Thursday last had never shown
a vicious trait. Thursday afternoon it
was running loose in the paddock be-
hind the barn, and the young man
was playfully irritating the animal. He
reached his right arm over the horses
neck and started to shut off it's wind
with his left hand, when the stallion
suddenly took hold of the left arm, in
the fleshy part just below the elbow,
and lifted the man clear from the
ground, hurting him several yards
away to the ground The horse did
not attempt to injure the man in any
other way, but quietly walked away.
Mr.. Orison made his way to the house
and after doctor had been called and
examined the wound it was found that
a portion of the arm would have to
be cut away.
Several eXcursionists from Cleveland
were in town yesterday calling on
friends and acquaintance.
Edward Thomas, the popular young

1t is very likely that before the end
OF this week there will be a definite IN
derstanding between local brewers and
saloonists as to who will pay the spe-
cial revenue tax upon the brewery pro-
duct. The matter has been talked
about among the independent" saloon
keepers for some days. but they have
postponed conference with the brew
ers on account of the absence from the
city of several of their members.
The term independent" is used to
distinguish from those saloonists who
are under obligations to the breweries.
1t is generally understood that more
than half the dealers are indebted to
one or more of the breweries. They
are in sympathy with the movement
en- the part of the independent saloon
lists, but for obvious reasons do not
care to take prominent part in the eff
fort to induce the breweries to pay a
proportion of the tax
The proposition to be made to the
breweries is that they will sell beer
at $3.50 per barrel. The old price was
Sc, the present price 81. 1t is claimed
that the purchase of stamps in large
quantities enables the brewers to secure
a discount of Is per cent. so that at
the 81 per barrel rate they are really
making a profit of Is cents more than
at the old price.
I'VE are willing to pay $3.50 per bar
rel for beer" said saloonist to a Reg
lister reporter. Under that arrange
ment, we will be paying so cents of
the tax and the brewers 80 cents. We
regard this as an entirely fair and rea-
sonable proposition, and we will insist
upon it. 1t is the prevailing price in
Pittsburg and elsewhere. We can Sc
cure good foreign beer, fully equal to
the local brew, at Sc a barrel, and
know one saloon keeper who has al
ready made up his mind to handle the
foreign beer. Of course we would have
to keep the local beer for cuctomers
who prefer the home brew, but they
would get it only when they asked for
it. The man who simply ordered a
glass of beer would get the foreign ar
ticle. But l don't anticipate a refusal
on the part of the brewers to compro-
mise. | think they will see the JUS
tice of the demand and accede to it"

At the First Christian church, on
South Market street. at last evenings
services, the pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Oil
plant delivered a very earnest and
thoughtful discourse on the subject:
Life Worth Living" He took his
text from Rom. 8a28.
Life worth living must be for eter-
nal life, for just as temporary struc-
ture is flimsy and a permanent struc-
ture more profitable and cheaper in
the end, so the same holds true with
character and life To make it such
and worth having, four distinct har-
monies must be established.
First, man must be in harmony with
God. The goodness and love OF God
is revealed in Christ, and whoever hath
known Christ hath known God. Man,
sinner, is inconsistent with God, but
after knowing Christ, and following af-
ter Him the character develops. How
is this harmony to be established? By
reconciliation. God was in Christ rec
onciling the world unto himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them,
and He has committed unto us the
word Of reconciliation.
mo compromise can be made with
God. God must be justified; sin must
be condemned. By faith and obedi-
ence we accept Christ, and are brought
into relationship with Him, and thus
the relationship is established.
Man must be in harmony with ma
ture. The Divine Father is the God of
nature. Man in sin is the blot on the
landscape, the discord in the harmony
OF nature, the stranger and alien, who
walks blindly amid Gods glorious
works. Man with sins RENTED,
with Gods image restored, is an orna
ment to nature. All is harmOny-there
is no discord between them. Man must
be in harmony with the laws of nature
because they are Gods laws. He is a
member of society, and has duties en-
joined upon him, as the duties of Ia
Dor and rest, of self control.
MAN must be in harmony with
whatever is good in his fellow man
1t is our duty to recognize goodness
when we find it, and in so doing follow
the example of Christ The natural
tendency is to exaggerate what seems
to us to be bad, and to lose sight alto
gether of the good. How much better
it is to overcome this, and bring our
selves in harmony with the spirit of
Christ-the Spirit which says that all
men are brothers.
Man should also be in harmony
with himself. Each element of his
nature should sustain proper rela
ton to every other element, and to his
nature as a whole. The intellect
should be cultivated, but not at the ex-
pense of the heart. The heart must
be cultivated, but not at the expense
of the mind. We should exercise
judgment in our affections. Zeal is i'm
portant, yet requires knowledge to
guide it. The force must be properly
directed. Just as the engineer must
control and direct the power, so it is
with mans faculties"

a 70 w.
peroration.
