Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1903-01-08

Bradstreet's annual review confirms
all that has been said from time @
time about tho prosperity Of the coun-
try. The year 1902 was arecord- break
ing year in production and cousumU-
tion. Exports alone show a decrease.
and that falling OF j. due 60 the eu-
ormOusly increased demand no home
for products formerly sold abroad. Inn
ports have made a new high-water
mark for the same reason. Business
failures have been fewer and for a less
aggregate amount than during years
when the population OF the country
was much smaller. Currency difficult
ties and other uutOward Circum-
stances that in ordinary times cause
misgivings have been Overriddeu dur
ing last year with hardly a trCmor 81
apprehension Public confidence Is al
ways factor in business and ir has
such good reason at present that nc Is
not shaken bv trifcs. Possibly this
year will show no increase over last.
but it is pretty sure 20 keep up the
same pace.

EUGENE MOYER
BADLY INJURED

The well-known liveryman, Eugene
Meyer, was very seriously injured in
a driving accident near Toby Run Fri
day afternoon.
he had the team known as the Ben
nett horses hitched TO truck wag on
and accompanied by his little sons.
Harry and Herbert, and William Gross
was returning from Bloomsbury. He
had driven out OF his way for the pur-
pose of stopping at the farm of his
father, G. G Meyer, Toby Run. They
were descending the hill below ]. p.
Weaver's farm when Mr.. Meyer MOTTO
ed that the horses were hitched too
short aud that the double trees were
striking them on the hind legs Mr..
Meyer made strong effort to control
the team, but they soon began to run
A. thay dashed down the hill the wag-
on IS upset and the four occupants
were thrown headlong down an en-
blnkment
The thee boys escaped with Il few
bruises, but Mr.. Meyer was badly in
jured about tin spine. He lost all use
of his limbs aud with every attempt
TO move he was thrown into an agony
of pain. Harry and Herbert gathered
up the blankets which had fallen out
of the wagon and made bed for their
father by the roadside. The right
thing Cor the little fellows to have
done, would, of course, hav been to
run to a ueighbor's for assistance. But
there was no house in sight and they
were too greatly frightened to leave
the injured man, whom they were
afraid would die on the spot
How long Mr.. Meyer lay by the
roadside is not precisely known, but
he was nearly numb with cold when
james Good came driving along i'll a
spring wagon.
The latter procured assistance ard
loading Mr. Meyer upon his wagon
conveyed him to his home, on Penn
street, this city.
The family physician, Dr. p. c.
Nowbaker, was summoned, who called
DR.. E. a. Curry 10 his assistance.
Both physicians were with the injur-
ed man over an hour, but were unable
last evening to state just how serious
the injury might prove to be. \ sat
iSfaCtory diagnosis was impossible Ow-
ing to the eXcruciating pain which
made it impossible to change the posi-
tion of the patient in bed. Although
he had lost the use of his limbs, the
fact that he retained sonsibility in
them was taken as u favorable cir
cumstance to Indicate that his back is
not broken. There are some grounds
for hope that the injury may prove to
be nothing more serious than bad
wrench, although of course worse
injury is altogether possible. DR..
Newbaker stated that evening that he
thought it might prove to be cou-
cusSiOn of the spine.
The report current that both Of Mr..
Meyers limbs were broken was OF
course false The only injury of any
account that he sustained was at the
spina. Little Herbert sustained a cut
over the right eyye, but it IS not ser
ious.
The horses after the upset, drag
eing the wagon after them, continued
to run until they reached the school
house at the foot of the hill where
they stopped of their own accord.

BRIDGES CARRIED AWAY.
People Gross in Boats Between the Two
Kansas Cities.

Kansas City. Aug. 17.--Boats are
again being used to transport persons
between the two Kansas cities, the
James street bridge and the Mctropoli-
tan Street Railway Cos. bridge over
The Kansas river having been carried
out by the strong current. The river
is higher than at any time since the
June flood. and other structures are in
danger. The wrecked bridges were
temporary pile affairs constructed has
tily two months ago. A further rise of
water is expected. When the James
street bridge went out it floated down
stream and carried away the steel rail-
way bridge which supported the Kan
sas City. Kas., gas main and telephone
Cable. Tonight '>that city was practi-
cally in darkness. The wreckage of the
two bridges finally lodged against the
Chicago Great Western Railway fridge
and while it weakened that structure
and put il out of service the bridge will
it is believed, remain intact.

Lawrence, Mass, Aug. 17.-No clue to
the whereabouts of Mrs. Ellen Kelleher
of this city, who so mysteriously disap-
peared while en- route for San Francis
co, has been yet obtained and anxious
relatives are earnestly seeking infarm-
alton that might lead to her discovery.
AS far as can be learned she disap-
peared after her arrival at Albany, n.
Y, to which place she has been traced
by means of the coupon ticket which
she used.
Up to the time She left here. July 81,
she boarded at John B. Ford'S at sc
Methuen street. 1t is expected that
Mrs Ford will send letter to the AL
bany police, asking them to assist her
in finding Mrs. Kelleher. The local
police have done nothing in the matter,
but unless Mr.. Ford is communicated
with the Albany authorities they will
probably take the case in hand
The description of Mrs. Kelleher is
that of a woman of Y years of age,
large and stout, weighing between 10
and $50 pounds. She is nearly 6 feet
tall She has grey streaked hair and
blue eyes. When leaving Lawrence she
