most Drowned

most Drowned
Cleveland, o., Aug. ia car con-
tanning so persons on the Cleveland
and Eastern Traction line jumped the
track Sunday night miles southwest
of Chardon, o., injuring eight and al
most drowning a dozen others in a
large stagnant pool into which the car
plunged.
The car was headed towards this
city and was going at moderate speed,
but the accident happened so quickly
that none of the passengers realized
what had occurred until they were i'm
mersed in the foul water.
Not a passenger escaped a wetting,
and a wild panic prevailed. The pas
sengers and crew of a car following
close behind went quickly to the res
cue and saved a dozen or more from
death.
The escape of some of those i'm
prisoned in the submerged car was
thrilling. Henry Hoffler, living at
Chardon, the conductor of the car, re-
ceived serious internal injuries and
may die.
The injuries of the others consisted
largely of cuts and bruises, some of
them of serious nature.

to believe that the simple continuance
was of any value. Even when the
regular papers" came, with imposing
seals and blank spaces for him to sign |
his name, he regarded them more as
interesting novelties than as anything |
that would affect his future
But one day a letter came which
caused his eyes to open wide with

Mixed wives.

In the early part of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town a Mr.. Church. who in the course
of his earthly life was bereft of four
wives, all of whom were buried in the
same lot In his old age it became
necessary to remove the remains to a
new cemetery. This he undertook him
self, but in the process the bones be-
came hopelessly mixed. His New
England conscience" would not allow
him under the painful circumstances
to use the original headstones, so he
procured new ones, one of which bore
the following inscription:
"Here lies Hannah Church and prob
ably portion of Emily"
Another:
Sacred to the memory of Emily
Church, who seems to be mixed with
Matilda"
Then followed these lines:
Stranger, pause and drop a tear,
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mixed in some perpeXing manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Han
nah.
