Little Child's Narrow Escape.

A thirteen month old grandchild of
Mrs Alice Miller, North Mill street,
inflicted terrible injury upon itself,
last evening by trying to swallow
caustic lye.
About five O'Clock the little one hap
pened to be temporarily alone in an
apartment where there was a vessel Of
lye, which had been prepared for use
in scrubbing. The child happened to
have tea spoon, which it was play
ing with. Coming across the lye it
naturally dipped the spoon into the
liquid and following instinct placed
the lye in its mouth. An agoniZing
cry soon after brought help, when the
terrible discovery was made that the
child had placed considerable quaint
ity of the burning liquid in its mouth
and it was question whether it might
not have swallowed more or less.
DR.. w. r. Paules was instantly call
ed, who found the child's mouth
shockingly burned. Wherever caustic
I've touches the skin it Immediately
begins to eat into the flesh. Beneath
the eye and under the chin where the
lye touched the little ones face there
were bad burns, while the lips the
tongue and the walls of the mouth
were eaten raw and were badly swol-
len
Remedies were Immediately applied
to relieve the pain but the problem
seemed to be to determine whether the
child had swallowed any of the lye, in
which event there would be no hope
of saving its life. After several hours
DR.. Paules felt pretty well convinced
that the child had not swallowed any
of the lye and that the greatest injury
was confined to its mouth. At last ac-
counts the physician had hopes of saw
ing the child's life, although its suf-
fering was still intense.

rIr. ShireS Seriously Injured.

Seized with an attack of vertigo
while painting the residence of ID. r.
Eckman, Market square, on Monday
forenoon, Michael Shires, the we'll
known painter, fell head long from
ladder outside the building and sus-
tanned serious injuries.
The accident was no doubt due to
the heat and the peculiar atmospheric
conditions yesterday, which were very
exhaustive and debilitating in eff
feet on almost every person. Mr.. Shires
was painting the west side of the
building and was standing on the lad
der some ten feet from the ground. He
exchanged Il remark with William
Chapman, another painter, who was
working on ladder short distance
away. The next minute he went over
head first and limp and helpless struck
the ground between the Eckman house
and the residence of William Andy.
Mrs Andy heard the thud as the body
the house only to find Mr. Shires ly-
ing at the foot of the ladder unable to
move.
The workmen employed about the
building in moment were on the
spot. Mr.. Shires was picked up and
placed in an easy chair.

shoulders. With the exception OF few
cuts about the head he escaped extern
al injury, although he suffered severe
internal pains. DR. +. G. Newbaker,
who responded to IA call found upon a
| casual examination that the right col
! lar bone was broken. 1t was also fear
ed that there were internal injuries of
| a serious nature.
The injured man was driven to his
| home at No. 23O Ash street in ;. j.
! Welliyer's spring wagon which hap
! pened to be passing at the time OF the
/ accident Before he was removed Mr..
! Shires recovered sufficiently to explain
how he happened to fall. He said he
was leaning forward painting the
brick wall when all at once a sensa-
tion of dizziness came over him; he
lost his hold and fell to the ground.
He seemed very i'll when he was re-
moved to his home
Mr. Shires was for many years fore
man of the painters at the hospital fol

dent.

CIVIL SUIT AND
CHARGE Of PERJURY

John Bostian was arraigned before
Justice of the Peace Dalton at clock
Yesterday afternoon to answer the
charge of perjury. The charge was the
outgrowth of couple of civil cases
brought before Justice of the Peace
Oglesby.
Bostian was first sued for trepass by
James Welsh of this city who owns Il
farm in Mahoning township. Bostian
was tenant on Welsh farm in 1908 and
the allegation was that he trespassed
in removing some corn The justice
rendered Judgment in favor Of the
plaintiff for so. Bostian brought a
counter suit presenting bill forser-
vices rendered while on the farm
which, he alleged, he was not expected
to perform as tenant.
Yesterday forenoon was the time set
for the hearing i'll the latter suit,
which was also before Justice of the
Peace Oglesby When the litigants and
witnesses had assembled and the hear
ing was about to begin Officer Voris
appeared on the scene and served n
warrant on John Bostaim, the COM
plainant in the case, charging him
with perjury.
II became a subject of warm cOnten-
tion whether civil suit could proceed
forthwith or the plaintiff, who so sud-
denly fell into the roll of defendant,
would have to accompany the officer
to Justice Dalton's Office and be gov
erned by the turn that events might
take there.
The matter was settled by Bostian
giving bail for his appearance before
Dalton in the afternoon.
The hearing went on and from that
hour until the middle of the afternoon
the proceedings Of Justice Oglesby's s
court in all that goes to make "A hotly
contested case were never OutdOne by
the records of any tribunal. Edward
5. Gearhart represented Bo5tian and
Thomas G. Welsh appeared for the de-
fendant The room was crowded with
witnesses The examination of the
witnesses, delayed by numerous tits
between the attorneys, consumed time
very rapidly and at the hour of noon
the hearing was only half over An
adjournment was had until 80, when
the defense took up its side \ num-
ber of witnesses were examined, when
Justice Ogle,by announced that he
would reserve his decision.
At O'Clock Bostain, accompanied
by his attorney and several of the wit
nesses figuring at the previous hearing
who had been subpoenaed for counter
case, appeared at Justice Dalton 5
court. Attorney Gearnart announced
that Bostain would waive hearing.
Thus the whole proceeding was cut
short and the defendant gave bail for
his appearance at court.

St. Peters Free of Debt.

St. Peters Methodist Episcopal
church, Riverside, is now free from
debt. The money to liquidate the
church's Indebtedness, over $3.50, was
all raised by the contributions receiy-
ed at the two special services held
Sunday.
The congregation of st. Peters has
been burdened with a debt of $3.50 ever
since the improvements were made on
the church property about four years
ago. Recently it was decided to enlist
the aid of Rev Il. II. Gilbert, d. d.. 4,
presiding elder of the Danville dis
trict, in an effort to raise the neces-
sary funds to pay the debt
DIR. Gilbert preached two sermons
at st. Peters on Sunday, as forceful
and as eloquent discourses as were
ever listened to in Riverside, and it
was largely due to Rev. Gilbert skill
ful manner in handling the affair that
the outcome was so satisfactory.
The News has been requested to con-
yey the thanks of the pastor and con
gregation of st. Peters to all who
contributed.
