A Grade Crossing Accident That Resulted In
the Death of a Well Known LabOringman.
ENGINEER DID NOT SEE HIM UNTIL 1T WAS TOO LATE

But Few Moments and Not Long Enough For Surgeon

Post was summoned to 'he depot imme-
diately when the train arrived there,
but his efforts to revive the injured
man were of no avail and Ney breathed
his last in the baggage room of the de-
pot.
Miller e. Blanchard's ambulance was
called and the body was taken to their
morgue, after which a search was made
for the parents of the deceased. 1t ap-

Post searched his clothes in which were
found a pay envelope from the Bonnet
Manufacturing company, upon Which
was written Ney's name, and a letter,

prints of photograph of a young lady.
The parents were finally found and no.

morgue. 1t is stated that Ney was
few months past 20 years Of age, and
that he was unmarried. He was known
in this city as a member of the socialist
party. He was born in Rheinfalz, Ba-
varia, and came to this country with
his parents, who have resided here for
about IS years. The fathers name is
Jacob Ney, and he is engaged in busi-
ness at the intersection of Willet and
Cedar streets. Several brothers sur

The injuries which Ney received were
a fracture of the side of the skull just

merely by the ligaments, and would
have required amputation If he had liv-

THOSE BREEDERS
Set Forth What They Have Or
ganized for and What
They Expect.

The News-Democrat recently noted a
meeting of stock breeders that was held
in this city and made, some mention of
the objects that were sought to be OBJ
tanned. President Ed. V. Steel, of San
dyville, Ohio, writes to the News Demo-
crat further particulars of the organiza-
ton. 1t is set forth that agricultural
fair and live stock show managers
should classify all live stock represen-
ted by the association in the premium
lists and not in competition with other
breeds of different breeding
And at all fairs and live stock shows
that agree to give the breeds separate
classes it is expected to exhibit in a
body, If premiums are worthy. And
they further ask good competent judges
at the fairs.
1t Is said that the object In combining
mistreat other live stock breeders COM
peting, but 1t is expected to make a
good worthy showing wherever they
go, and thereby get good live stock
show at fairs,and by doing so expect a
good attendance. thus helping the finan-
cial part Of the fair.
BY forming a club and exhibiting all
named breeds, 1t is expected better rail-
road facilities and quicker transporta-
| tion can be had.

$23.6l. The society is I'm debt to the
extent of $10,240.S9. Besides the $4OO

bon says, concerning the retirement Of
Judge Smith:
Judge Smith will not definitely state
when he intends to present his resigna-
ton to the governor further than that
1t will be in the near future. He claims
that the distance from his home to the
county seat, entailing as 1t does travel
ing and other expenses, is the sole cause
of his seeking relief from judicial du-
ties.
Judge Smith said today: IT will give
due notice of my intention of presenting
my resignation to Governor Nash. At
the present time 1 cannot fix a date.
My present intention is to resign at no
distant day, and in all probability an
other Judge will sit on the bench dur
ing the February term. am led to take
this step on account of the distance of
my home from the county seat. 1t is go
miles by rail. It is impracticable for me
to remove my residence here. The time
and expense of travelling back and forth
means much more when the salary of
the judge of the common pleas court is
considered. Add to this the necessary
hotel and livery bills and the expense
is greatly increased. Then, too, 1 object
to being away from my family so much.
1 must say that L have thoroughly en-
joyed the work, but feel that I can no
longer afford to hold the position. This
is the only reason which induces me to
take this STEP"
Judge Smith has served on the bench
a little more than four years, and he
thinks he has received the larger part
of the educational benefits Of the posi-
ton. The impression here is that Judge
elect Warren w. Hole, of Salem, will be
appointed to fill out Judge Smiths
term, which does not expire till next
September. Two other candidates are
mentioned, however-Judge J. G. Moore,
of Lisbon, and Attorney j. r. Carey, of
Salem.

A fatal accident occurred Friday
night a few minutes past o'clock at
the Cleveland avenue crossing of the
Pennsylvania railway track. The
young man who lost his life through
the results of being struck by the en-
gine of an east bound passenger train,
was Frederick Ney, residing at 800 Cen
ter street, who has been employed as a
machinist at the shops of the Bonnot
Manufacturing company. Ney lived a
few minutes after the accident,it is stat
ed, but he died before Surgeon S. B.
Post, who was summoned, could reach
his side. So far as is known, there were
no witnesses to the accident excepting
the engineer, and he states that he did
not see Ney until the engine was fairly
upon him, when it was too late to stop
the train.
1t appears that Ney left his home
early Friday evening to call on friend,
Peter Marti, whose place of business is
at the northwest corner of Fourth street
and Cleveland avenue. After remain
ing there q short time he started off and
soon was on his way homeward. Evil

avenue to the railway crossing. Train

city at S:45, was late, and it came roll

speed. Apparently Ney did not see
the oncoming train and he stepped into
the track, and the engine struck him
and threw him a short distance, evil
IDENTIFY throwing him on his face, as the
skin is partly scraped off his nose and
chin, showing that he must have slid
short distance. The engineer revers-
ed the lever on his engine to stop the
train, but the speed at which the train
was travelling carried it to Market
street. However, as soon as the train
was stopped, the engine pushed it back
to Cleveland avenue and the body of the
young man was placed upon the bag

the Pennsylvania depot. Surgeon S. B.

Another Pair That Have Decided to Bury
Their Troubles and Live Together
Some Entries Made BY
Judge McCarty.

Judge Taylor went home Thursday
evening and Judge McCarty took up
the assignment of both rooms Friday.
There was nothing to try but entries
were made in several cases and a num-
Der were dismissed.
Attorney j. T. Smith, who represents
the plaintiff in the divorce petition of
Minnie against Elmer McGregor, came
into court and asked that the case be
dismissed at the costs of the wife. The
pair concluded to forget their differ
enCes and live together again.
The divorce petition of Hazel Len
hart against Oliver T. Lenhart was also
dismissed. Attorney Werntz repre-
sented the plaintiff. Some outsider
had been telling Judge McCarty some
stories about the case which caused a
perpleXing state of affairs and the
plaintiff decided for the present to let
the case be dismissed.

Piero came before the court and had a
decree entered for the marshalling of
liens. In this case julius Clere, of Ma
varre, gave mortgage on some prop
erty while he had one wife. Afterward
she got a divorce and he married an
other. Then she secured a divorce and
got with it a decree for 500 alimony.
The money was not paid and she sued
to collect. An order has been issued
to sell the property and when it is sold
the original mortgage will be paid first
and the alimony second.
In the case Of Sherlock VS.. Ringle,
which was a suit of the Hartford trus-
tees to foreclose a mortgage, and in
which the property was sold few weeks
ago, the court confirmed the sale and
ordered a deed to be executed.
