local.
THE INJURED.
William Carpenter. Philadelphia, a
passenger, internally injured about
the hips and groin.
Miss Agnes Baker, Lima, left arm
| fractured above the wrist
Joyce Koontz, Malcomb, Nebraska,
aged six years, slight injuries about
the face and head.
AL Gender, fireman on passenger,
foot badly bruised in jumping from
the engine.
The collision was caused by mis-
understanding of orders or by failure
TO give both crews the same orders.
The crew on the local which was
coming in from Kenton claim that
they had orders to meet No. Is at
Marion while the crew of the passen-
ger train state that they had orders
Ito pass the local at the NJ. j. tow
Ter. The passenger train went OUT on
the main track and only the fact that
neither train was going at the usual
rate of speed prevented q terrible
catastrophe. The local was running
at a rate Of twenty miles an hour
but the passenger was moving along
lat much lower rate OF speed.
The passenger train was in charge
OF Conductor J. s. Thompson, of
Huntington. Brakeman C.. s. Gil
bert and Engineer John Shlndler.
The local was in charge Of Conduct
or Schoonemaker, and Engineer Bert
Shanks. When the enginemen per-
ceived their perilous situation, the
levers were reversed, the brakes ap-
piled and all jumped.
The trains came together with a
loud crash followed bv terrible noise
caused by escaping steam. Passengers
were hurled from their seats and con-
fusion reigned supreme in the coach
'es. Both the engine and the baggage
car OF the passenger left the rails.
The engine was quite badly damaged
about the pilot and boiler head. The
freight engine was derailed and nj.
most demolished. Several of the
freight ears were derailed,
When the trains met in collision
Brakeman William Nebergall was
standing on the rear platform of the
freight caboose. Fortunately he had
a handhold on the step rail. He
was thrown violently against the
caboose and then outward holding
himself from falling by but one hand
Had ne been unable to maintain his
grip on the rail, he would have fallen
into the cold waters of the little Sci
oto river. All OF the engEiemen
rolled" when they left their cabs
and 1t is miraculous that none was
seriously injured.
"A few minutes after the trains
came together the body of William
Hoover was found lying beside the
tracks. His left side had been
crushed and cut and he was other
wise bruised. Death had been In.
stantaneous. The injured passengers
were gwen every attention and a
hurry up call was sent to this city
Tor doctors. nurses and ambulances.
The doctors were carried out to the
wreck In a baggage car and the
wounded we're given attention
The remains of William Hoover
were brought back TO the Kenton ay-
'enue crossing where the ambulance
or Hess and Markert conveyed the
body to the firms private morgue
on South Main street. The injured
were given attention by Drs. Carl
Sawyer and j. w. Adair.
A pathetic incident occurred at the
kenton avenue crossing where

he lives. The editor Of a local paper
has said pooh-pooh for the independ-
ent candidate and for the issue he
represents. :"
IT will meet at any time or place
either Of the big party candidates
for representative to debate the
issues of this campaign and / here
by challenge them to such q debate
before the voters of the county. /"
"The moral side Of the question
is a serious one. If the saloons
are allowed TO go on tho youths
ofu tho,i c9,ntry blswills grow up in
crime, many becoming drmkards;
homes ruined and death and destruc-
ton spread everywhere. The only
argument against this that the other
candidates have put is that the
saloon men have invested too much
money to take away from them the
right to do business. IF the ques-
ton Of local option is ever brought
up in Marion county and 1t will
be soon. I am sure that the county
will vote to wipe out the evil. "
"Thc personal side Of the ques-
ton is the candidates and what
they stand for. Has any candidate
the right to ask the Suffrage of
the voters of the county without de-
claring the platform on which he
stands? II is an insult to the voters
of the county to refuse to declare
on what issues they want the suf-
frage. Such candidates are unwoa-
thy Of support,
Rev. Piatt closed with an eloquen'
appea to the voters Of the county
to rally around the standard of Rev.
Hensel. who. he said, has outlined
his policies aud will not need
watching with shot gun.
AT the close OF Mr.. Piatt's adj
dress Rcv. Bailey made the state-
ment that if the independent organi-
zation had 5000 in its treasury to
meet necessary expenditures, the
election of Mr.. Hensel would be
a certainty. He asked for donations
to the cause and voluntary sub
scriptions were taken up at the
close of the meeting.
Next Thursday night John Rut-
ledge will be the principal speaker
at the independent meeting and 9TH
or men of renown will be secured.

crowd had congregated before the
Especial returned from the scene Of
the wreck. Il had been said that
William Hoover had been killed. A
few minutes afterword, William Hoov-
er joined the crowd and those who
knew him laughlingly shook hands
with him, saying that they heard he
had been killed but that he looked
very much alive. His reply was,
|"My father intended to come home on
the local." A sudden stiffness crept
over the crowd. what was your
fathers name?" he was asked.
I"William Hoover" was the reply.
| The young man waited at the cross
ing until the remains were brought
back from the wreck when he identi-
fed the body as that of his father
and accompanied by a friend went to
his home on Silver street, to impart
the sad intelligence to his mother and
brothers and sisters.
The passenger coaches were backed
down near the Union Station and the
wrecking crew was summoned. The
track was cleared soon after mid
night and traffic was resumed.
1t Is claimed that 1t is the custom
lof the Erie trains to have meet"
orders for the MI. tower. At that
point II Is impossible to tell whether

already passed into the yard or Is

lishment to the Hoover home on
Silver street. Wednesday afternoon.
The funeral will take place at the
First Presbyterian church at 3 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon, and will be IN
charge OF Rev. Mr.. Bates, assistant
pastor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover had been
visiting relatives at Guthrie, near
Kenton, and Mrs. Hoover had re-
turned home on a morning train,
leaving her husband at 10 o'clock.
Hoover had planned to take the next
train home. but evidently missed It
and was compelled to ride on the
fast freight on which he met his
death. He was a close friend OF
Stiny Baldwin. head brakeman OF the
train. and had been in company with
Mr. Baldwin during the greater part
of the trip.
Mr.. Hoover was 50 years OF age
and had lived in Marion rs years,
having moved here from Asheville.
He was born near Asheville, and was
married there 81 years ago to Miss
Ida Edwards. His wife and two
sons, Clarence and William Jr. sur
lvive. This is the first death that
has ever occurred In the family.
Mr.. Hoover has been in Minnesota
operating steam shovel up until
two weeks ago. when he returned
home. He had planned returning to
steam shovel work.
The dead man was universally liked
by all who knew him.
