ASLEEP
By Track When Street Car
Came Along
And Joseph ShOugh Lost
Portion OF His Hand
When Wheels Of Car Passed
Over Member

Joseph Slough, a painter residing
on the Wooster road in Academia, was
the victim of very unfortunate ac.
cident on Saturday evening near the
ball park switch on the track of the
Mt. Vernon electric railway. Shough
had been into Mt. Vernon on Satur.
day evening and had, started to walk
to his home in Academia. He reach
ed the ball park switch and laid down
on the grass to rest but soon fell
asleep. Unconsciously, he threw his
right hand on the rail of the street
car track and allowed it to remain
there.
In short time, street car came
along and the sleeping man was not
discovered by the motorman until it
was too late to stop. The wheel of
the car passed over a portion of the
right hand, cutting off the little finger
and badly crushing the third finger.
He was placed in the car and taken to
Mt. Vernon and then to the office of
Drs. S. E. and B. c. Deeley where
surgical attention was rendered.

day to hear the new minister and it
is needless to say that they were
pleased. Rev. Barnett has an excel
lent delivery and his sermons were
most entertaining. His language is
polished and every word came forth
apparently with no effort at all on the
part Of the speaker. N
Before the sermon on Sunday morn
ing, Rev. G. A. Reeder, who has for
the past two years been pastor of the
church, gave an address of welcome
to Rev. Barnett in which he compli-
mented him in many ways and stated
that he had been personally acquaint-
ed with the new minister for a period
of twelve years and that he knew him
very intimately Rev. Reeder stated
that it would be unnecessary to take
Rev. Barnett on probation because he
knew him to be thoroughly capable
and efficient to fill the position to
which he had been assigned. In con-
cluding his short address, Rev. Reed
er expressed his sincere thanks to the
members of the church for the kind
ness and help rendered himself and
his family during his term as pastor in
Mt. Vernon and stated that the kind
ness would be doubly returned to the
children of any of the members should
they decide to send them to Baldwin
university, of which Rev. Reeder will
be president.
Rev. Barnett, just before his short
sermon, thanked the people for the
manner in which he had been received
in Mt. Vernon and even though he Lad
left all of his old friends in Lorain,
he would make great effort and cul-
tivate many new friends in Mt. Ver-

SUCCESS
In Every Respect Was The
Convention
Of Knox County Sunday
Schools Just Closed
Officers We're Elected At
Business Session
Parade On Sunday Was Very
| Interesting
Plans Discussed For Conven-
tiOn Next Year

The Knox County Sunday school
convention closed with splendid ses-
sion Sunday afternoon. There can be
no question but that the 1910 conven-
ton will go into history as the best
one ever held in Knox county. The
array of talent was equal to that on
the large state conventions and the
good received equaled it also.
In the business meeting Saturday
afternoon the following seven men
were elected as the executive COM
mittee for the present year:
President-R. n. Litton.
Vice President-U. S. Lybarger.
Secretary-E. II. lesson.
Treasurer-A. b. Jones.
e. E. Ewing, DR.. C. H. Wright and
o. C. Nixon.
Rev. F. e. Brininstool is an ex-of-
! ficio member of the committee by vir-
tue of the fact that he is county rep
resentative appointed by the state
committee.
The stereopticon lecture Saturday
night, by State Secretary Clark was
splendid, giving clear presentation
of the organized Sunday school work
through the country This is the on
ly illustrated lecture on Sunday school
work in the country and in this way
DR.. Clark is pioneering. Every speak
er on the program brought great in
spiration to the convention, not one
of them but what filled his place on
the program in manner passing an
ticipation of the audience.
The Laymen's parade at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning was a great success,
there being nearly 200 in line, march
ing until the Sunday school hour.
The convention has taken a decid-
ed forward look for next year in two
particulars: First, they have decided
to serve the entire county during the
year; they will seek to bring every
| Sunday school in touch with at least
one up-to-date conference. Second,
they will endeavor to hold even a bet.

him his calling and that he was in
tended to follow the ministry, which
he is doing with all his power. He
also believed that 1t is his duty to car
ry out the greatest work that God
ever gave man to do, that is to preach
the gospel to the people. He thanked
Rev. Reeder for the kind welcome and
introduction given him and stated that
he would do all in his power to come
up with the expectations of the people.
He wished Rev. Reeder God-speed and
the greatest success in his work at
Baldwin university at Berea, Ohio
The text taken for the morning SER
mon by Rev. Barnett was taken from
the 1st chapter of John, the first 26
verses, in which Jesus Christ appears
to the Jews, but is not recognized or
accepted. The sermon was very pleas
ing and convincing and the numerous
points brought out by Rev. Barnett
could not have been disputed by the
greatest infidel.
Although the members of the
church regret the fact that Rev. Reed
er hasl been called away from them,
there is not doubt but that they will
be we'll pleased with Rev. Barnett
who has now fully taken up the dut-
les as pastor of the church.

LIGHTNING
Struck Church OF Christ
Early Saturday Morning

The worst electrical storm of the
season occurred early Saturday morn.
reported from lightning. During the
storm lightning struck the steeple of
of the Vine Street Church of Christ
and tore the shingles off a portion Of
the west side of the steeple. The
lightning then jumped to the center
of the roof and tore hole there and
through the ceiling of the church and
down the chandelier in the central
part of the church. Quite large siz-
ed hole was made in the roof and the
ceiling.
Engine House Struck
A remarkable occurrence took place
during the electrical storm about Ave
o'clock Saturday morning when bolt
of lightning struck the flag pole on the
roof of the Second ward engine house
and patrol station, splintering it and
throwing fragments of the wood into
neighboring yards. With the excep-
tlOn oil the destruction oil the nag pole,
no other damage was done to the
building or its occupants. The re-
markable fact concerning the light
ming stroke was that the patrolman
and his family were sleeping in an
upstairs room just under the pole
when it was struck and were not even
disturbed in their sleep.
Tree Shattered
During the electrical storm, light
ming struck a large oak tree in the
Ferenbaugh grove, just west Of the
city, and tore the tree out by the
roots. The tree was also shattered al.
most to kindling wood.
