MANASSAS WoGAMAN MEETS IN
STANTANEoUs DEATH
DRIVING FROM FIELD
When the Swift Car Struck His Wa
gon Demolishing it and Killing
Him.

Dayton, O., September An east
bound Dayton & Western traction ear
struck and instantly killed Manassa
Wogaman, sixty-five years old,
farmer, as he was crossing the tracks
at one of the worst points in the road.
The accident occurred at 1925 about
'one-half mile east Of the Diamond
Mills.
Wogaman was driving out ofthe
field with load of tobacco when he
was struck. The wagon VS. demolish-
ed, but the horse escaped. Wosaman
was hurled several feef4ft+tt4 49, t1-4tft
when picked up, several bones being
broken and his skull fractured in two
places.
The man had been in the field all
morning loading tobacco and hauling
it to his sheds on his farm some dis
lance away. He evidently did not
know that the car was due and did
not hear its approach. Owing TO the
deep cut, the motorman was unable to
see Wogaman in time to stop the car
and it struck him almost full speed
The car was in charge of Motorman
Miller and Conductor Anderson. The
body was picked up and taken back
TO New Lebanon and Coroner Kline
summoned from Dayton, after which
it was. sent to his home. Wogaman is
survived by his wife. He was one OF
the best known farmers in this Sec
ton.

CHANGE TO BE MADE AT TIKI
EIGHTH STREET CROSSING
KRAMER BUILDING
To Be Torn Down and Washington
Avenue to Extend Over This
Site-Small Park.

BY the improvements, plans for
which were accepted last night by the
council from the Pennsylvania rail-
road company, the appearance of the
ground on the north side Of the Wash
ington avenue railroad crossing will
be greatly changed.
The improvement is another step in
the permanent improvement that the
railroad is making on this Eighth
street crossing, the most frequently
used and the largest in the city.
The old building, formerly occupied
by the Kramer Manufacturing COM
pany, and which is an eyesore, will
be torn down, and Washington ave-
nue. will be extended eastward over
the site of the old Kramer building
The present oblique Washington avenue
crossing will be closed and instead of
running southeast, this avenue will be
changed so as to run directly east
from the F. and N. Lawn Mower fac
tory This will make the new Wash
ington avenue and the northern ex-
tension of Ft. Wayne avenue alike,
both the same size, and all the inter
mediate space will be paved with con-
crete.
This. Improvement is much needed,
the old Washington avenue crossing
being badly in need of repair. and the
Pennsylvania will make the improve
ment without ay expense to the city,
shouldering all the expense itself.
|; The city. by the councils acceptance
of the plans last night, will, save a
, large sum which would otherwise go
, for Improvement of the crossing, and
the avenue, and gets fine improve
ment for nothing.
The plans. in fine, call for an open
I, ing of the Washington avenue north
of the railroad. the vacation of the
, spot now occupied by the old Kram-
er building A small ornamental park
will be. made out of the site of the
present. Washington avenue, which
will add greatly to the beauty of that
part of the city and to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad yards and grounds.
The park, while necessarily a small
one. will be made a very pretty one,
on the north side of the new street.
The reason given for this change
is that all of the property owners de-
sire it. change will add to the safety
of those crossing the railroad tracks,
and it will add to the convenience
and beauty Of that section of the
! city, and will greatly benefit the prop
and beauty of that section of the
damage at all. The Pennsylvania
railroad company. Gaar, Scott & Co.,
F. & \. Co, and others signed the Pc
tition.
The council having accepted the
plans. the work will be begun as soon
as practicable. although it is expect
! ed that not much will be done until
next spring. The Kramer building
I will probably h,a form down this fall
