Rendered Unconscious i'm

While returning to his home ON
the Dry Run road, near town. from
. sale at Leetown, Friday, Charles
Snyder had a narrow escape from be-
ing killed by his horse.
When about four miles from town,
on the other side of the Opequon. Il
dog ran out into the road and barked
at the horse which began kicking.
AT the first two kicks he broke the
~single-tree and the dash board ON the
buggy and then by a sudden plunge
forward jerked the driver out over
the dash board ON to his back
BY a string of successive kickes
Mr.. Snyder was then thrown to the
ground and rendered unconscious by
the horses heels. His face about the
left eye was terribly cut, his forehead
cut in several places and his knees
and shoulders bruised. 1t is not
known how many times the horse
kicked him.
When he regained consciousness he
found himself lying i'll the middle of
the road and the horse standing beside
him. He called for help until a farm
er living nearby reached him and
rendered assistance. He then drove
to town and had his wounds dressed
by DIR. Sencindiver.

TRAIN CREW FAST ASLEEP
WHILE THE TRAIN STANDS ON THE
MAIN TRACK.
II. & o.. Express Train No. 2 Had a Mar.
row Escape from "A Serious Wreck
Saturday Morning.

S"ast""y NV
Oral, a small water station ON the
b. 81 o., about five miles from Elem
ington, was the scene of what mar
rowally missed being a frightful wreck
Saturday morning.
Two sections of eastbund freight
No. 81 stopped at Oral for water.
The second section stopped some
distance behind the first while the
latter was taking water, and before it
pulled out the crew on the second
section, consisting of five men, all
went to sleep.
Eastbound fast mail No. ., in
charge of Engineer Dean was follow
ing the freights and expecting a clear
track was running at a high rate of
speed when Dean saw the lights of
the caboose ahead of him and by
prompt action managed to stop his
train a short distance behind the
freight.
Z When he and his fireman ran for
ward to see what was the matter they
found thesentire crew asleep.
The freight was in charge of Con-
ductor Ford and Engineer James
.O'Neal.
The fact hat there is a long stretch
of level track this side of Oral is all
that saved the road from most a disas-
trous and terrible wreck. Had the
caboose been about fifty yards further
ahead on .the track a sharp curve
would have shut it from view and
the passenger train would inevitably
have crashed into it.
The occurrence created a great deal
of comment among ~railroaders as such
a thing as an entire crew going TO sleep
while on the main track is unheard
of. Moreover the men have not the
excuse of being worked yer time, for
freight has not been very heavy for
some time.
1t is understood that Engineer o.
Neal and Conductor Ford resigned as
soon as they got to Grafton, and the
balance of the crew will probably do
the same.

BLEW UP THE MISSIONARY.
vandaIs Wrecked the Mineral spring Mt
Berkeley Springs.

The fine medicinal spring at the
north end of the grove at Berkeley
Springs. w. Va, was badly wrecked
a few nights & with dynamite, the
explosion awaking the town. The
masonry on the top and sides was
blown entirely away aud the ground
deeply furrowed. The spring belongs
to the state, Lord Fairfax owe a EN-
Jury ago having set it aside for the
use of the public.
George Washington upon several
occasions visited this resort for his
health and drank from this spring.
The authorities are making every
effort to run down the vandals. The
temperature of the spring is very
warm in coolest weather. There has
been much controversy and bad feeling
over the leasing of the springs, the
matter having been before the legisla-
ture and the muddle is said to be re-
sponsible for the dvnamiting.

hAs
The City School Board met in re-
gular monthly session Monday
with President wellinger presiding
and Commissioners Evans, Tabler
and Paulding present.
The meeting was unexpectedly
brief. A few on-lookers gathered in
the room in which the meeting was
held expecting TO see some little Eek
citement. Even the commissioners
themselves expected to see more
charges preferred but all were sur
prised to some extent and the meeting
passed off very quietly.
During the progress of the meeting
superintendent Of City Schools G. II.
Cole arose and stated that in view of
the paragraph he had seen in The
Evening World about charges being
preferred against him he wanted it
understood that il any charges were
to be made against him he wanted
them made at once and not held back
in the dark that he had done nothing
to be covered up.
After being in session about fifteen
minutes the board adjourned without
%transacting any business except the
passing of a number of bills.
