.SLEIGHBRS HURT
In RUNAWAY

A bad driving accident occurred near
Turbotyille early Saturday morning ia
which several WashiDgtonVille people
We're injured.
On Friday evening party from
Washingtonyille in two sleds was driv-
Ell to TurbotvilIe where it was enter
tanned at the Eagle Hotel The hours
were whiled away in dancing and 9th
er amusement aud the party soon real
lied it was well on toward morning.
In view of the bad condition OF the
roads it was decided to wait until day
light before starting home.
1t was early when the start was
made. They were descending the steep
hill near the farm Of Millard Smith
this side of Turbotyille when the team
driven by Andrew Depo started to run
and ii was soon beyond the drivers
control. In turning a sharp curve the
sled upset and the occupants were
pitched unCeremoniously out into the
road. Several of them were badly
hurt. The worst injuries were sus-
tanned by Miss Carrie Dieffenbacher,
daughter of Benjamin Dieffenbacher,
who was badly bruised and hurt inter
nally. Mrs. Thomas Savage aud Dr.
Sidney Hoffa and wife were also amcng
the injured There were few if any
in the sled who escaped bad bruises. =
Miss Dieffenbacher was unable to
continue the journey and was carried
to the farm house Later in the day
she was removed to her home. A tele-
phone message from Washintgonville
yesterday afternoon stated that she
was then resting fairly we'll.

Loss Will
Be HEAVY

Among the heaviest losers by the re-
cent flood and ice will be S. G. Bry-
fogle whose greenhouses are situat-
ed along the river just below town
and directly in the path of the food.
1t is almost impossible TO describe
the situation at this point The
ice is piled up like solid walls and
should it be carried away hurriedly,
not vestige of the greenhouses will
be left They will be crushed like so
many egg shells, and indeed it is
doubtful if the dwelling houses will
| be left standing, as the trees which
| ordinarily are a protection to them
| have all been swept away. Already
| Mr.. BryfO2le's 5 loss will be upwards
of $1,000 His stock has all been de-
stroyed, and should he desire to con-
! tnue in the business, he will have no
| income from his house for a year, as
! ne will be obliged to purchase all en-
/ tire lot of new stock from which to
propagate, while his expenses which
are heavy, for coal, labor. etc, will
continue Just the same. Occurring as
/ it does before the Easter trade it is
unusually unfortunate as that season
is always good for couple thousand
dollars. Then. too, it is probable that
the piping i'll the houses has bursted
and been ruined which will entail an
additional loss The advisability of
tearing down the houses and removing
them to a place OF safety has been con-
sidered. for should they be destroyed
/ it would mean loss of $12, 900 to him.
a company who has suffered great
er loss is the Magee Carpet Mill which
has been inundated to the depth of
many feet aud which has ruined mach
| inery and material to the amount of
| thousands of dollars. not counting the
| loss Nh Magee has sustained by reason
| of the mill being idle. Add to this the
| loss the operatives of the mill will
suffer by reason of being thrown out
of employment, and $4,000 would be
a conservative figure for the loss sus-
tained by this plant and those con-
| nected with it.
1t is almost impossible to estimate
the loss sustained by the families who
we're compelled to flee from their
homes in boats, leaving their house,
hold effects behind, many of which
will be entirely ruined aud worthless,
and all of them greatly damaged.
The same is true of the farmers along
! the river who have suffered great loss
in many different ways. 1t should not
| be forgotten in estimating the loss
caused by this unprecedented food
| that the railroads and trolley line will
also suffer great pecuniary damage
which at this time it is almost impos-
sible to estimate They not only lose
| their daily receipts from the transpor-
tation of freight and passengers but
| the falling waters may reveal the fact
that the tracks and bridges have been
| damaged to such an extent as to re-
| quire thousands of dollars to repair
] them. From the present indications it
| would seem as if this section of the
country had been damaged to the ex-
| tent of quarter of million OF dol

Paste This in Your Hat for 1904.

The Anti Profane League, which met
recently in Boston, declared that swear
ing was the national evil. - The
League however, did not lay so much
stress upon the sin of swearing as
its indecency, and in this respect took
the safe ground. There are so many
in the world preaching and admonish-
ing and "reformers have made so lib
eral a use of "dullness, pomposity,
the time worn phrase, the greasy
platitude," that the ear of patience is
dulled. When the League begins to
argue it gets a hearing, For instance
the habitual use of profanity makes
the language poverty. stricken, II is
nuisance, it is tiresome in the extreme,
it denotes bad breeding.
If profanity has any function, says
an exchange, it is to express emphasis !;
but what emphasis can a strong word
have in the mouth of man whose
talk is constantly interlarded with
emphatic words when no emphasis is
intended? When so many theories of
reform are banded back and forth we
suggest that the ideal toward which
the anti profanity workers should
strive is TO attain state Of mind
which is not profane. A noted lawyer
