Fell From Train Near
OrrVille.
SUSTAINED INJURIES
Requiring His Immediate Re.
turn to His Home In Ash
Iand--Train Serious
Iy Delayed.

The first accident, incidental to the
"trip Of the o. N. &. to this city, oc-
Cured Tuesday afternoon during the
journey of the special train bearing this
Eighth regiment. AS result of the ac-
cident, T. j. Hamilton, cook for COM
pany A, Of Ashland, sustained com.
pound fracture of the left leg below the
knee.
Hamilton had been named as one
Of the baggage detail to guard the bag
gage of his company. He and the sew
eral others of the detail were in the
baggage car containing Co. AS effects.
AS the train was pulling out of Tus-
caloosa junction Hamilton and COM
panion became involved in a schuffie ia
the midst Of which he fell out of the
open door Of the car.
The train was stopped and some of his
comrades hurried to his assistance.
When they reached him he was suffer-
ing intense pain in his left leg, and
examination revealed the fact that he
had sustained severe fracture.
He was taken back to Tuscaloosa
junction where the chief regimental
surgeon OF the Eighth, J. s. Stewart,
OF Mansfield, dressed the injured mem
her. From this town, Hamilton was
sent back to his home in Ashland with
a detail of three men from his company.
The time lost, as a result of the &C.
cident, together with the fact that the
special was compelled to lay over one
hour at Orrville. SO delayed it that
the Eighth did not arrive in the city
until $3.50 D. M, while it was due at
11:20 q. m. a

manufacturers and with the able as
sistance of our member of congress, X.
w. Tayler, and Senator Foraker, was,
after weeks OF hard labor, fought to
successful finish. The Mckinley rate was
re-established and labor brought BACK
to what It was previous. During the
weeks we were in Washington looking
after the bill was at the white house
most every day and In conversation
with the president; and while told
him of our work and fear regarding the
crockery part of the bill, we felt we
had a right to appeal to him as presi-
dent to help us out.
He would say to me L am sorry and
T. was there It would be different, but
be patient Now comes the illustra-
ticn desire to make of his loyalty to
our industries and his desire for the
eStoration of labor. While out driv-
ing with him some six months after the
matter was brought up, he said, calling
nic by my first name: I was in touch
with you all the time and knew all that
was going on, 1 desired the duty TO
be restored through your congressman
and committee efforts. 1t would have
been improper for me to have inter-
fered, but would have done SO at the
last moment had you failed
Was there ever more loyalty shown
friends? If he were living today this
little incident would not have appeared.
Il had the pleasure Of visiting the
president three weeks ago for couple
of days upon his urgent invitation. l
will never forget the warmth Of well
come and the happy frame Of mind
he was in during my visit. We had
long talks and not only went over
years Of the past, but he talked much
OF the future and seemed to be living in
mind the years yet to come of his ad-
ministration. ] never knew him to be
in a more happy frame Of mind.
"The additions to his home had been
completed and he said he was 40
happy in having a home all his own
after these years, that he could live
happily and rest in and invite his
friends to. He seemed so pleased and
delighted in showing me through the
home, the grounds, the flowers, the
stable and horses.
81 could say more to you, much more,
hut the moment is filled with too much
sadness. Perhaps some time again.
There are times in life when one man
car love another. I couldn't help low
ing Mckinley. Who could?"
