TRACK DAMAGED.
Freight Car Left Rails And Ran On
Ties For Nearly Half a Mile.

Tuesday morning an east bound
freight train drawn by engine 1898, had
a narrow escape from almost total
annihilation at point mile and a-half
west of Oakland, when one of the cars
composing the train jumped from the
rails near the site of the Offutt mill,
located west Of Youghiogheny RIVER
bridge, and ran along on the ties from
that point onto and partly across the
bridge above referred to.
The train, so reported by railroad
men, was travelling at moderate:rate of
speed when the flanges on the front
truck of the car derailed became des-
troyed which allowed it; to .leave the
track. The car ran along on the ends of
the ties from the point of derailment to
the center of the bridge, a distance of
about half mile, when the engineer
discovered the trouble and brought the
train to stop. The ties on the bridge
as well as the guard tlmbers, immense
pieces of heavy oak held in place by
ma ssive bolts, were totally destroyed
and as a consequence the east bound
track was put out of commission until
the necessary repairs, were made by a
force Of bridge men.from Grafton[and
Piedmont Trains bound in both direc-
tons used the west bound track until
the repairs were completed.
Had the coupling attaching the de-
rallied car to the one preceding it parted,
there is no telling what the consequent
ces would have been. but in all proba-
biity the entire train would have been
thrown over the side of the bridge into
the river, distance of some twenty
feet.
At the same point some years ago
train No. 2 left the track and went
down into the river, killing one man
and injuring quite a number of other
passengers.

SUES FOR DAMAGES.
$1,000 Wanted In Each of Two Cases
for Selling Liquor to Person
Blacklisted.

On last Thursday Mrs. A. C. Whet-
sell, through her attorneys, Messrs.
Renninger & Offutt, entered two suits
in the Circuit Court for Garrett county
one against S. A. Nally and the other
against c. A. Hesen, both of whom are
saloon keepers in Oakland, claiming
damages to the amount of s., 600 in
each case.
In her declaration Mrs Whetsell al
leges that she had served upon both
parties sued the required legal notice
not to sell or give to her husband, A. c.
Whetsell, Intoxicating liquors or bever-
ages, but that in the face of said notice
they have continued to do so, hence she
brings the suits.
The statute provides that relative
may have any person placed upon the
blacklist" by serving notice upon a
saloon keeper rot to sell or give liquor
to a person addicted to its use, and fur
Their provides that damages may accrue
should the person so blacklisted procure
liqour, either by purchase or as a gift
from saloon men thus noticed
These are the first cases in Garrett
county growing out of the blacklist
law and will be watched with consider
able interest by the public generally.

BRAKEMAN ROBERT
BROWNING INJURED.
Lost Portions of Both Feet Few TILES
East of Grafton Tuesday forming.

Tuesday morning at an early hour
Robert A. Browning, eldest son of Mrs.
Mary Whetsell-Browning, of Oakland,
who was employed at the time of the
occurrence in the capacity of brakeman
on west bound freight train, met with
an accident, whereby the young man
lost portion of both feet.
From what can be CLEANED concern
ing the accident young Browning was
engaged in performing his duties and
was in the act of tighten a brake on a car
while descending the grade at Austin,
three miles east of Newburg on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, when the
chain broke which threw him between
the cars. He struck upon the bumpers
with his hands and endeavored to swing
himself clear of the rails, but in this he
was only partially successful, the toes
of his shoes striking the inside of the rail
Which threw him upon his face outward,
the wheels of the car passing over the
forward portions of his feet, terribly
mangling some of the toes of each foot.
The young man was picked up by the
train crew and was taken into Grafton
where he was placed in the hospital and
his injured toes amputated.
Mr.. Browning is well known and a
popular young man of Oakland. The
news of the accident which befeIl him
will be learned with sincere regret by
his large circle of friends here.

time the guard returned with the milk.
Would it be against the rules for to write a

Certainly not, the reply.

Farmer Triumphs Over Judge and
Hearsay Evidence 10 Admitted.
An eminent lord chief justice, who
was trying ight-of-way case. had be-
fore him witness-an old farmer
who was proceeding to tell the jury
that he had "knowed the path for six
ty yeer. and my feyther tould as he
heered my Granddaughter gay"
"Stop!" said the Judge; I'VE can't
have any hearsay evidence here!"
"Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
''rhen how dost know who thy feyther
was 'cept by hearsay?"
After the laughter had subsidized the
Judge said: In courts Of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen
with your own eyes, and nothing more
or less"
ooh, that be bowed for a tale!" re.
plied the farmer. II ha' got bile on
the back Of my neck, and never seed
'un, but be prepared to swear that
he's there, hang 'un!"
This second triumph on the part Of
the witness let in a torrent of hearsay
evidence about the footpath which OBJ
tanned weight with the jury, albeit the

The ugliest of hands may be vastly
improved, if not actually beautified.
First of all, girls should learn to
hold the hands so that they will some
what resemble the ideal one, which is
slightly wedge-shaped, the broader end
at the wrist and the narrower at the
tapering finger tips. And be careful
never to clinch the fist, for that not
only denotes meanness and parsi-
mony, but tends to broaden the
knuckles.
The hand should be kept open,
whether hanging at the sides or lying
Dat in the lap.
In the latter case the palms look
prettiest turned upward, and if they
are kept soft as the soles of a baby's
feet and rosy as the inside of shell,
SO much the better, for, in addition to
expressing youth and health, such deli
cacy dumbly appeals to the sterner
sex.
1t is not the hard-palmed woman who
secures the subway seat during the
rush hours, however richly she may
deserve such consideration. Not that
man is unchivalrous, but because he
believes that the owner of square.
fingered, broad, brown hands is as
we'll able as himself to cling to a
strap.
