When Floor Of A Bridge
IIave Away

Alva Souders, glass worker, EN-.
ployed at the Mt. Vernon Window
Glass plant, was the victim Of a very
unfortunate accident Friday morn.
ing while going to his work at about
i:15 o'clock. Mr.. Souders had been
employed at the Camp factory for
oome time, but on Thursday afternoon
secured work at the Mt. Vernon plant
and was starting to work for the first
day wnen the accident occurred. He
was about midway OH the swinging
bridge which lpans the Kokosing riv.
er at the foot of south Jackson street
when one of the boards in the floor
of the bridge, gave way beneath his
feet, letting one of his legs through.
In an effort to save himself from fall
ing, Mr. Souders suddenly twisted
himself to such an extent that his
back was severely sprained His LETT
hip was badly bruised by the fall, up
on the boards OF the bridge floor. His
condition at the time of the accident
appeared to be very critical as he was
unable to move in any manner and
another workman, who happened to be
crossing the bridge at about the same
time, sent in call for Chappeear &
Co.'s ambulance which arrived shortly
on the scene. Souders was taken to
the Mt Vernon hospital where DR..
James :. F. Lee was called to render
surgical attention. The injury was
not as bad as it was first thought to
be and the man will probably be able
to go to his home after day or two
in the hospital.

Beethoven Club.

The Beethoven club met Tuesday
evening as announced. The very ex-
cellent program, In charge OF Mrs.
Jackson, consisted Of eight hand pi-
ano work, and a song recital by Mrs.
A. D. Stokes, who has lately become
member Of the club. Her singing
was a pleasing featufe of the evening
and was the subject of much favor
able comment. Those who played
on the two pianos were Mrs. Jack
son, Mrs. Colville, Mrs. Critchfeld
and Mrs. McIntire. The leader gave
brief analysis of the instrumental
numbers, that of the LAST number
being the most interesting because
of its being descriptive music of a
more pronounced character. The
first movement, Adagio, describes a
dead calm at sea, then a slight
breeze arises, by and by increasing
to a gale, few stormy measures,
then dying down until the monotony
of the rolling, restless sea, frequent
ly interspersed with tuneful tranquil
melodies is all chat is heard until the
sight of land is heralded, thus form
ing an appropriate finale.

"THE IMMoRTAG J. ""
His w andcring Library is Rapidly
Falling into Decay.
(Pittsburg Dispatch. }

(Pittsburg Dispatch.)
| Hidden away in the most unlikely
place in the orld, shabby, woefully
prosaic, little cottage in a country
town, is a library so unique. and val
liable that to wander among it's an
cient tome and fondle their ponder
ous clasrs and worm-eateh pages
would plunge the ordinary biblic ma
MAC into what Robert Louis Steven
son calls "a fine, dizzy, muddle-
headed Joy.
Since there is no real reason for
preserving the secret forever invio-
late, let it be told that, the village is
McCutchenville, in Wyandot county,
Ohio, and the owner of the library
is Mrs. Ellis Cooley. While this
name may not convey any especial
significance, Mrs. Cooley is the sister
of the late Joacob Newman Free,
better known as the immortal ]. N,
and the last surviving member of an
extraordinary family.
The immortal ] N. was one of the
most eccentric and at the same time
pathetic characters who ever lived in
Ohio. He first came into public not
ice at the time of the Civil War by
means of his frequent Journeys be-
tween Abraham Lincoln and Jeffer-
son Davis for the purpose of 'remov-
ing the PRESSURE /. e., restoring
peace. Through overstudy and
brooding over the tragedy of the Re-
bellion he had become mentally un-
sound, and through all the rest of
| his long live he remained resolved
upon one ching, ''to lift the press
ure."
Today his splendid library is piled
in confusion in the little McCutchen
cottage in mute testimony of his
erudition.In he old home one side
of the front room from floor to cell
| ing was lined with volumes and the
table in front OF the shelves was
heaped with them. The collection
numbers about one thousand vol
umes. They are printed in many
langauges-in Latin, Greek, German,
French, Hebrew, Sanskrit and Chin
ese. Some of them date as far
back as the middle of the sixteenth
century These are stanch old tom
es, but the worms have bored their
neat little Cunnels quite through the
heavy bindings of wood and leather.
Some are pierced in this way from
cover to cover and few are gnawed
by the rats.
One book dated 1870 and written
in Latin contains the works of "Eu-
sibius, Bishop of Caesaria in Palas-
tine" The covers are quarter of
an inch thick and covered with leath-
er and the front is closed with met
al clasps. Another similar in date
and binding is devoted to the works
of Chrysostom. A sixteenth century
bible is over two feet long. The
front cover and the back are torn off
and reveal the method of binding.
The works of Justine, the philoso-
phere and martyr, printed in Constan-
tinople in 1856, are a curious COM
mingling of Latin and Greek, and is
abundantly interlined with noCes in
the same languages.
