THE NATIONAL TELEPHONE.


The Complex and Extensive System
Will Soon be Perfect.
In a conversation yesterday with one
of the officials of the National Tele-
phone Company, the gentleman said:
THE public should not expect perfec-
ton at the start. Our system is
large one, with much delicate and COM
pick apparatus, requiring careful ad-
justment. The work Is laborious and
tedious, but the troubles encountered
the being rapidly eliminated by experts.
and by the end of the week the small
annoyances inseparable from a new
plant will be at an end. The National
will no go into the combination or
party line" business. but will furnish
long distance telephones for both
business houses and residences. Party
lines are very Objectionable, for the
reason that when one party on line
is called every other phone on the
same line rings. The Independent
Company at Cleveland made very sue
cessful fight against the Bell Company
on that point. and have gained much
favor by furnishing individual SER

A SERIOUS RUNAWAY
NEAR COLERAIN

Saturday in Which Four Persons
Receive Injuries of a More or
Less Serious Nature.
Yesterday word was received in this
city concerning serious runaway,
which occurred Saturday near Colerain,
o., in which four persons were injured
but none of the injuries received will
result fatally although one of the young
ladies will be crippled for life.
1t appears that C. J. DUNCAN, we'll
to do farmer residing near Colerain
had recently purchased new surrey
and a new driving team, and on Sat
urday morning with his wife and two
daughters started in the surrey to at
tend a picnic in grove near Mt.
Pleasant. All was progressing we'll
until near Pennington, when the team
ran Off They were however brought
to stop by Mr.. DUNCAN before any one
had been injured.
On the return, however, the horses
again became frightened and dashed
off down the road. They ran up a
steep bank and turned down towards
the creek. The surrey hit an obstruc-
ton, throwing Mr.. DUNCAN out, break
ing three or four of his ribs. One of
the daughters, Miss Myrtle, about
twenty-three years of age, was also
thrown out and sustained a fracture
of the hip, which it is thought will
make her cripple for life.
Mrs. DUNCAN and the other daughter
jumped from the vehicle as it started
to mount the bank, and were thrown
on their heads. Aside from numerous
cuts and bruises about the head and
shoulders they escaped serious injury.
The horses escaped injury.
From the account of those who wit
messed the accident it is miracle as
to how the four persons escaped death.
