FORDS STREAM
LOSES LIFE
Joseph COIlin DrOWnS While
Attempting tODrive Through
White Clay Creek
HORSE RESCUED BY
ON LOOKING FARMERS

I'm attempting to cross the White
Clay Greek, a short distance this side
of The Stanton railroad sation, at1O.30
o'clock this morning, Joseph Cohsn.
aged 80 years, Of No. 204 West street,
this city, was drowned.
The man was a dealer in wool and
hides and made frequest trips through
the country in quest Of business, He
vas driving today and upon reaching
the White Clay creek found that the
new concrete bridge at the point he
wished to cross was not yet open to
the rublic. He then decided to ford
the stream as he and others had been
in the habit of doing during the con-
struction of the new bridge.
Cohen did not take into consider
alton the heavy rain of last night and
the fact that the tide was unusually
high, and he started across the stream
unconscious of the fact that the water
was considerably deeper than at any
time during the year.
On reaching the center of the stream
the wagon disappeared and when
some farmers hurried to the banks Of
the stream all they could see was tile
horse and the shafts of the wagon.
Tie animal was trying to keep afloat.
They managed to get the horse and
wagon out of the creek. but Cohen had
disappeared. The wagon was a low
body affair with no top, and 1t is
supposed that when It sank to the
creek bottom Cohen was swept from
the vehicle by the strong current.
Cohen's place of business was at
the corner Of Second and Orange
streets. He is survived by his wife
and four children. who range from
three to eleven years in age.

MANY BUTCHERS
IGNORE MEAT LAW

AT AFTERNOON MEETING

II is expected that when the Board
OF Health holds its weekly meeting this
afternoon, Secretary Malcom, of the
the board. will be directed to have
warrants issued for the arrest of
number of King street butchers, who
are alleged to be violating the new
meat regulations which went into
effect to-day. The new rules provide
that meats, poultry etc, exposed on
the street for sale must be under
glass covers and that meat dealers
must screen the doors and windows
of their places of business.
Secretary MalcOm had the executive
officers of the department make an in
spection of King street this morning
and they reported that while no meat
was found exposed for sale on the
street, the meat dealers generally had
ignored the regulations compelling
them to screen the windows and doors
of their places of business.
Mr.. Malcom said several of the
butchers had meats on counters out
side their buildings exposed for sale,
but in each case the meat was pro-
tccted by glass cases. He said he had
taken up the matter of screens with
several members of the board and he
was instructed TO take no action
against the alleged violators of the
law until the board met this after
noon.
The board this afternoon will meet
a delegation of farmers and discuss
with them the question of farmers ex-
posing meats and poultry in the
street markets.

who is implicated. Mr.. Handy is a
member of the Eagles and expects to
attend the convention but he does not
go with me. Yet, if anything should
transpire, l will be only too glad
that he is there. / don't fear the out
come of anything that might arise
and my friends can rest assured that
there is nothing against me-"

REDUCED ESTIMATE OF SELF.

Commonly il is the man himself
who is the last person to discover
that a too high value has been put
upon his worth to the world. In his
book, "Afoot and Alone" Stephen
Powers reports the case of a negro
in the South before the Civil War who
came to the conclusion that he was
paying too much for himself when
he was buying his freedom.
He had belonged TO an Alabama
planter who owne&>a ferry on the
Chattahoochee IkSer. This ferry the
negro had opeJKfted. To make the fer
ryman faithI6l TO his duty, the owner
had allowed him one-half his earn

In the course of time proposed to hi
master to buy his freedom. The mas
ter consented and an agreement wa
made that Harry should pay $500 70
himself, half IN hand.
Not long after this there came al
ususual freshet. Harry's skin wa
capsized in the middle of the stream
and he himself was carried down TIVE
or three miles before he could &c
ashore, being then more dead thar
alive. Woefully bedraggled and di.
lapidated, he presented himself be-
/fore his master.
