WRECK
Occurs In The B. 8 0. Yards
ln This City
Caboose Completely Destroy
ed And Engine Damaged
No One Was Injured When
The Wreck Occurred

A 3. & o. caboose was completely
destroyed and large freight engine
belonging to the same company, was
badly damaged in wreck at the
West High street crossing Monday
afternoon at about 1890 o'clock. The
caboose was caught between the en-
gine and a string of cars and was
crushed to kindling wood. No one
was injured
The wreck occurred in rather
unusual manner The engine backed
swiftly down the track, just north
of the depot pulling a string of about
eighteen cars, it being the intention
of the engineer to make flying
switch upon the Pennsylvania spur
track which branches from the west
side of the b. & o. tracks and cross
es south through High street. The
switch was thrown and the engine
ran on the siding, but was followed so
closely by the cars that the brakeman
did not have time to throw the switch
back, the string following the engine
at high rate of speed. The crash
was inevitable as a number of empty
cars were standing on the spur. A
caboose, to which the engine had
been hitched, when the switch was at
tempted, struck the front of the i'm
prisoned locomotive and was splinter
ed and twisted all out of shape by the
weight of the cars following it. The
front of the engine was battered, the
pilot, cow-catcher and the head light
being completely torn away. For
tunately there were no brakemen in
side the caboose.
Had the engineer had clear track
on which to run away from the swift.
ly moving cut, the wreck could easily
have been prevented.

Hacks For Voters Must Be

Custom 233 Years Old And

rigid terms of the act, as laid dowr
by Mr.. Hogan, the primary election
of May 21 end the general election
next November should be more near
ly free from anything that savors OF
corruption than any election in his
tory.
Mr.. Hogan has said that conveying
of an elector to the polls for the pur.
pose of influencing him with respect
to his vote is an act in the nature of
a bribe. For pure friendship and
without taking into consideration the
kind of vote the elector will cast,
one may convey friend to the polls.
but the practice of making lavish ex.
penditures for carriages to carry lazy
or indifferent citizens to the polls is
to be thing of the past.
Whether the practice of conveying
voters existed in the early days of Re.
publican government or in the early
democracies is question which his
tory does not seem to answer.
There is abundant evidence, how
ever, that the practice has existed
for more than 200 years. This fact
brings due Importance to the revolu-
tionary change effected by the inter-
probation of Mr.. Hogan

This clearly seems to have been

Kimble act seems to correct. Ohio
has had her share of corrupt elections
until there was a great popular re.

questions that effect their daily lives

use of money to win campaigns is be-
