When the Gate Was Down
Not Badly Hurt.
What might have been serious ac-
cident or a loss Of life occurred
Wednesday evening on East Tuscara-
was and the G.. @. g. S. railroad, and
was only averted by the cool-headed-
ness of Officer Zimmerman OF the local
police force. William McCurdy, Of
the Buckeye Stove Repair company,
was coming up East Tuscarawas street
about 8 o'clock last evening and had
just reached the G. G. & S. railroad
crossing, when he attempted to cross
the track with his horse and wagon,
not noticing that the gates on the west
side of the tracks were down, and that
a freight train was coming around
the sharp curve at this point.
Mr.. McCurdy was upon the
crossing when the engine was within a
few feet of him, and realizing his dan
ger, he attempted to turn down Saxton
street, and in his excitement pulled the
wrong rein and backing the wagon into
the engine. The horse was thrown
down and the engine passed over its
left hind foot, cutting it off. Mr.. Nc
Curdy had miraculous escape from
instant death. When the wagon was
struck he was thrown upon the cow
catcher and then rolled off to the side
where the drivers struck him and
hurled him around the drive wheels.
AT this point Officer Zimmerman, who
was within few feet OF the occurrence
caught hold of his coat and pulled him
from his dangerous predicament. Aside
from few bruises, Mr.. McCurdy sus-
tanned no injury. A few minutes later
the horse was shot by Zimmerman to
relieve it of it's sufferings. The wagon
was badly damaged. The train stop
ped as quickly as possible, and after
learning of the extent of the accident,
the engineer proceeded on his journey
to Cleveland.

The university has the largest at

beneficial results are being secured by
the public from the university than

ucational institution of Il similar kind
in the South upon an equal expenditure
OF money. An appropriation commen-
surate with the Increased attendance

in the State is doing better work for

NTherc is pressing need for additional

Regret and surprise are expressed at
the fact that the Agricultural and Me
chanical College has not been able to
secure much larger attendance of
students than it now has. 1t is thor
oughly equipped. Farmers should
avail themselves Of the advantages it
affords for the training of the future

city salesman, land dropped into a grocery
not far from the levee to make some in
quiNes about an address. The place had
the usual double-bar attachment, and while
1 was chatting with the proprietor a big,
slouchylookdng negro lounged in and call
ed for a Jim Carter l had never heard
of such a beverage, and watched the bar
tender with some curiosity. He took an or
binary lumber ard proceeded to mix up
equal proportions of gin, claret and whisky
which his customer tossed off with ai9par-
emit relish. I must confess the combination
made my flesh crawl, but the grocer as
sured me that it was very popular drink
among the darkies of that section of the
he knew was tina, Jim Carriers had been in
steady demand for the last twenty years.
He told me that another favorite mix
ture was pine GIN whisky and aniSette.
Pine gin Is prepared by putting a dozen or
more sliveTs of fat pine in a bottle of
liquor and allowing it ITO stand for several
weeks. The turpentine in the wood is grad
ually absorbed and gives a horrible, rosin-
like flavor to the gin. How in the world
any human palate can tolerate the stuff
passes understanding, but during the quar-
ter hour i spent in the store I heard it ask
ed for twice. Still another popular drink
as l was Informed, is a Dutch cockta all >
composed of beer and pop, while beer and
syrup IS consumed in large quantities The
negroes of that section buy a good deal of
claret. but never refer to it by that name
