Cherry Street-Horse and Men Go
Down 20 Feet Into the Water--victim
Was Rendered Unconscious and Was
Drowned Edward Wilig Escaped.
Harry V. Smith met with instant
death and Edward Willig had mar
row escape from similar fate in a
runaway on South Cherry street Mon
day evening about g.: 80. The horse
dashed over high embankment at
what is known as the "old fill' short
distance from the bridge over the East
creek. plunging down decllvity near
ly 20 feet high into water 4 feet deep.
Smith and the horse were instantly
killed, but Willig was able to strug-
gle out OF the water and cried for help.
Parties passing ran to his assistance
and found him in half dazed condI-
ton vainly trying to rescue his COM
panion. Smith was lying with his
feet sticking out of the water, while
his head and body were submerged.
The force of the fall evidently render
ed him unconscious and he drowned
without being able to help himself.
Willig, wnen questioned as to the
number of persons who had beon in
the rig, at first insisted that there
were three or four, and the crowd con-
tinued its search for more bodies, but
afterwards 1t was discovered that but
the two men were in the buggy.
Smith and Willig both received
some ugly cuts and bruises about the
body and head, but those of the dead
man were not sufficient to have caused
death had 1t not been for the water.
The horse that the men were drlv-
Ing belonged TO George Garaux, the
saloon keeper. They had secured it to
drive to the home of Wlllig, where
Smith intended staying all night.

lessly or the horse was running off.
cannot be ascertaiDed. Mr.. George
GarauX, who owned the horse, stated
that the animal was quiet and never
scared at anything. He does not be.
lieye IL was running away. Smith was
driving. he says, and it is his opinion
that when the horse was going rather
rapidly the wheel went over the bank
ard as result the horse was THROWN.
1t is an ugly place in the road being
narrow and dark, and there is no pro-
lection except barbed wire renee
half way down the bank.
Harry V. Smith was a single man,
aged 2s years, and the son of Will
liam H. Smith. of 1916 South Cherry
street. He is d molder by trade and
had been employed at the Aultman
works up until the strike. He was a
popular young man with his friends
and Willig has been almost frantic
with grief over his death ever since
the accident.
The accident created a great deal
of excitement in the south part Of the
city. Coroner Schiltz was immediate
ly notified and went 20 the scene and
took the statements of those who had
assisted in taking out the body. A fur
ther investigation will be made later.
Undertaken Scesholz was given charge
OF the remains.

PuLITzER,s SUCCESS.

Rise of Man Who Gave $4,000, 900
For school of journalism.
Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the
New York World. who has just given
$4,000 900 to Columbia university, New
York city, to establish a school of jour
naIism, is one of the most successful
newspaper men in the world and owes
his rise from poverty to wealth and
position to his own untiring work and
genius.
Mr. Pulitzer is a native of Hungary
and landed in New York in 1864, at the
age of seventeen, without n dollar in
his pocket. He enlisted as soldier
in the civil war and after the close Of
hostilities went to ST. Louis, where he
attracted the attention of Carl SchurZ,
who gave him his first start in journal
ism. He was successful from the start
and after accommodating q little money
went back to Europe, where he spent
some time in acquiring an education
Returning to st. Louis, he learned
that a newspaper that had ruined its
every stakeholder was for sale and pur-
chased it for $4,000. Old newspaper

The Friendly Catfish.

There is a species of fish that never
looks at the clothes of the man who
throws in the bait. fish that takes
whatever is thrown to it, and when
once hold Of the hook never tries to
shake a friend, but submits to the in
evitable, crosses his legs and says
NOW lay me" and comes out on the
bank and seems to enjoy being taken.
1t Is fish that is a friend of the poor,
and one that will sacrifice itself in the
interest of humanity. That is the fish
that. the state should adopt as its trade
mark and cultivate friendly relations
with and stand by. We allude to the
bullhead The bullhead never went
back on friend.
To catch the bullhead it is not neces-
sary to tempt his appetite with a por-
terhouse steak or to display an ex-
pensive lot of fishing tackle. a pin
hook, a piece of liver and a cistern pole
are all the capital required to catch a
bullhead. He lies upon the bottom of
a stream or pond in the mud thinking.
There is no fish that does more think
ing or has a better head for grasping
great questions or chunks of liver than
the bullhead. The bullhead has a fine
india rubber skin that is as far ahead
OF fiddlestring material for strength
and durability as possible.

The London Graphic tells of an En-
glishman who was left a fortune of
$4,000 a year. Knowing himself to
be an inveterate gambler and fearing
to lose all his fortune, he arranged
with friends to furnish him $4,000 a
year, out Of which he pays in advance
for II months board for himself and
wife, and with the remainder CANDLES
at AiX-les-Bains in summer and at
Monte Carlo in winter. At first his
wife used to stand behind his chair
inploring him to come away; now
she plays as keenly as her husband
for hours at time. The couple are
said to be some distance 'ahead of the
