Struck BY a Yard Engine
BALKY HORSE CAUSED MlSHAp

Then Refused To Move-0 Occupants
We're Painfully Injured.

Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac b. Mcdonald,
who reside on East Burke street, near
" opposite the entrance TO the ceme-
terry, and their little grandchild. had
thrilling and dangerous experience

emerged with their lives by seeming
miracle.
The three were Ia buggy coming
west on that street. and attempted to
cross the tracks in fr INT OF an APP
preaching yard engine. There was
ample time in which ito get safely
over, but when the horse had pulled
the buggy onto the tracks IL baked
and refused to bulge. although Mr..
Mcdonald was urging il with whip
aud voice.
The engine was coming down the
steep incline at that point, aud the en-
gineer was . witness to the danger OF
the occupants Of the buggy. The
brakes were immediately applied and
the men ON the engine sprang of and
hurried to the assistance OF those In
the vehicle. Owing to the sharp in
cline OF the tracks the brakes failed to
hold the engine which slowly de-
scended against the carriage before the
horse could be induced to start. or be-
fore the occupants of the buggy could
seek safety by aliahting.
The engine struck the buggy and
ground it almost to splinters beneath
j the wheels, and those who witnessed
| the accident expected the three persons
| TO meet violent death. However
they were thrown to the side Of the
track by the impact and escaped death
although all were severely injured
Mr.. Mcdonald was considerably
bruised, Mrs, Mcdonald sustained
painful injuries about the head ant
the little child was injured about th,
body aud arm. The injuries are no
serious They were later taken hom
and are resting comfortably this after

The balky animal started as soon n
the engine hit him. tore loose fror

justice court Friday evening and
complained that he had been feeced

who inquired where he was going and
asked il he wished to purchase a
scalper's ticket To Ohio for the sum Of
$3.50 The stranger knowing that this
vas small price for a ticket to this
distance, consented TO purchase it,
and gave the Young man the amount.
This was the last he saw of him,
althrngh he waited his return for
several hours. The visitor said that
he learned the young mans name was
Robert Montgomery.
So far as it can be ascertained
there IS no enc in this city by that

stranger is still in town thinking that
the boy might yet return There is

NO pIcsrcs ar ISLAND PARK.

No picnics will be held at Island
Park. Harpers Ferry this year, as the
Baltimore g. Ohio railroad will not
grant excursion rates to that place,
nor will theyl allow the park to be
opened this season to the public. The
reason for this Is due Ito the fact that
many repairs are needed at the park,
and the revenue derived from excor-
sions to that report have not been suf-
ficient to justify large outlay of
money for the work.

Flashes sd Laaass@ing sunday.
The severest rain and electrical
storm which has visited this section
thte season passed over Berkeley ooun
/ y Sunday afternoon and evening,
during which the rain poured down in
torrents. The rainfall during the
period of the storm was the heaviest
for many months. The city seemed
to be the center of the storm, although
it was unusually heavy in the county
also, the wheat and other growing
crops being beaten down bat mot
greatly damaged.
In the evening series of electrical
and rsin storms swept over thiscitys

manner and flooding the streets with
water. The lightning flashed and

evening passed away quickly, leaving
the atmosphere sweet and purified,
and uncowerning in the western heav-
ems a glorious mass of color which ran
the gamut from inky black to the
most beautiful and delicate hues OF
blue and gold.
About six o'clock a bolt OF lightning
descended upon the home of Mr.. j.
M. Henshaw, on West john street,
striking the roe6 and tearing few
squares of slate therefrom. The mem.
bers OF the family were at hone when
the shock came. But no one was in
jured. The damage to the boilding
was slight.
A bolt of lightning also struck in
the street at the postoffiee corner,
leaving the evidence of it's terrific
force on the hard roadway and then
rolling off down the thoroughfare in
a ball of fire that vanished in an in
slant. No other damage has been re-
ported.
