in the Fifth Sewer district was
brought up and excited some discus
sion, some of the members holding
Ina, they could not even hear the cs-
Innate read because they had not been
officially notified of the completion Of
the work. Mr.. Trautman stated that
the work has not been done according
to contract, and he thinks there should
be a full investigation of such claims
and make sure that everything is all
right before the estimate Is allowed.
The final esrimgsg1ttet rimgsg1t Sas read and

the Sewer committee and Engineer to
report at the next meeting
Trautman said that Council should
after the Putnam street bridge, as it is
not safe. and should have something
done toward making 1t safe. Marsch,
as Chairman of the Bridge committee,
stated that they were weiting to see
bridge before spending any money on
repairs for the old one. The matter
was finally referred to the Bridge com

were instructed to make needed re-
pairs and to employ such assistance
as might become necessary.

A Warning To Young Men.

One day last week John Hockinber-
ry, young man of West Virginia, was
ground to pieces under the wheels of a
railroad train on the Ripley and Mill
Creek Valley road, a branch of the
ohio River road that runs from Mill
wood Junction on the river, out to
Ripley, Jackson county
The young man in question was a
married man and had been drinking
and as he was considerably under the
influence of liquor, was about to be
locked up at Ripley, when friend of
his interposed and said that he would
send him home on his horse If the Of
ficers would let him go, which they
did He was placed on the horse and
horse behind him. but when he had
left the town little ways, the boys
hat blew off and he got off the horse
to get it when Hockinberry refused to
let him remount and rode away and
left the little fellow. He passed his
father-ip-law's. house, and the-.sfalks
saw him and knew that he was under
the infiuence-of- liquor. They told his
father-in-law of the case existing and
he followed hockingberry in order to
see that he passed the railroad cross
ing in safety. re went on down the
road until he had passed the crossing,
and thinking that Hockinberry was
undoubtedly safe he went back. But
1t seems that Hockingberry had not
continued in the public road, but had
turned his horse down the railroad
when he came to the crossing and fol-
lowed the track until he came to a
trestIe which hesatempted to make the
horse cross, as by the many tracks
around the place where the body was
found it, seemed to indicate that the
horse had refused to obey the demand
of his rider and 1t is probable that he
threw him, hurting him pretty badly
and when the evening train came
along lie cut him IN two just across the
lower part of the abdomen
1t seemed almost as though his time
had come and hat fate conspired to
complete his span OF life at chat time.
If the friend had not interposed and
requested the officers to allow him to
go home he might have ben living to-
day; again If the littue boys hat had
not blown off he probably could have
induced him to keep off the track and
would have prevented the accident
and lastly, If his father-in-law had
down the road little farth-
er he would have been in sight of
where the horse refused to cross the
trestle and would thus have been able
to save him.
