COUONER'S JURY FAILS TO
FIX BLAME FOR ACCIDENT
Eye Witnesses Say That Men Killed In
Accident at Dam Monday We're
Warned They Were In
"Death Trap"

Coroner Thomas F. Higgins and
Jury made a careful investigation into
the cause of the death of Edward NJ
Piper and c. Victor Emmons at the
Court House Monday evening but In
the findings of the jury there was no
cause for the accident named and no
responsibility fixed.
Six witnesses we're heard and all OF
the men, who were eye witnesses to
the fatal accident, told practically the
same story. Their story was prac-
tically the same as published in yes
terday's issue Of the Public Ledger ex-
cept that several of the witnesses said
that they saw the timbers were about
to fall and trap the men and they
warned the workers to get out as they
we're in a death trap" Despite this
warning the men continued at work
however, and were crushed to death
Who removed the support or Jack
which caused the high and heavytim
bers to fall, yet remains a mystery.
The jury was out but few minutes
when they returned verdict which
simply stated that the two men me

Six Feet and Four Inches Of Water
Being Held In Reservoirs For Fire
PrOtectlOn--Water Now Com.
Ing Direct From River
Into Mains.

Maysville faced another very SER
ious water situation this morning and |
for time it looked as though we were
about to be in the same condition we
we're few weeks ago but the prompt
action of Mayor Thomas M. Russell
and Fire Chief Ruliff Newell saved
the city from being at the mercy of
fires.
The failure of the pumps at the
pumping station to force enough water
to the reservoir to meet the demand
and still retain a good supply for use
in case of fire, was first noticed Mon
day night and on Tuesday morning
the water in the reservoirs had drop
ped until there was left there but 6
feet and 4 inches AS soon as this was
discovered the city officials ordered
the Water Company to shut the city off
the reservoir supply. They let the
Water Company know that they ex-
pected at all times in the future to
keep enough water in the reservoir to
protect the city from a bad fire.
Immediately upon the issuance OF
these orders, the Water Company shut
off the reservoir valve and began
pumping water direct into the city
mains from the river leaving the si1
feet and four inches of water in The
reservoirs for fire protection. A tele
phone has been installed at the reser
voir connecting it directly with thu

ing at pumping water direct into the
mains so that there is little danger of
serious water famine unless all Of
the pumps at the pumping station get
out of commission as they did couple
of weeks ago.
Mayor Thomas M. Russell was in
telephone communication with the Di-
rector of Public Safety of the City of
Cincinnati this aftefYoon in regard to
renting two of their large fire
pumping engines to be kept on hand
until the water situation is cleared
up and to be used in case of neces-
sity Some point out that should there
be such fire as to require the empty
ing Of the reservoir the city would
again be at the mercy of fire and that
if these pumping engines are available
they should be rented or borrowed
from Cincinnati and be kept here fol

serious condition and until the watel
situation is entirely cleared up ant
something lasting has been done to
ward relieving the situation which
seems will give the city trouble TO
some months as long as nothing last
ing Is done.

COUNCIL MEETS

Realizing the seriousness Of the sit
uation, Mayor Thomas M. Russell
called a special meeting Of City Coun-
ell at three o'clock this afternoon and
ten members were present.
After stating the situation clearly
that the city was practically without
fire protection as soon as the reser-
voirs were emptied and that the re-
servoirs were now leaking rapidly
Mayor Russell asked that council take
some action. Council voted unani-
mously to leave the matter entirely
in the hands Of the Mayor with full
power to act in the matter and he
will order two fire engines from Gin
cinnati tonight. 1t is also expected
that City Attorney DAILY will need as
sistance in this case and the Mayor
was authorized to employ assistance
1t is more than likely that former
City Attorney John M. Calhoun will
be employed as Assistant City Attor-
ney Immediately.

FALL FROM STONE WALL may

Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Gallenstein Falls From High
Wall and Receives Serious
Injuries.

Frances, the bright little five year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Gallenstein, of West Third street, fell
from the top of an eight foot wall in
the back yard of their home this
morning striking on her head and suf-
ferirg serious injuries which may
prove fatal to the little girl.
Physicians were called Immediately
upon the occurrence of the accident
when the little girl lapsed into conyul-
sions and she has remained uncon-
scious since that time. DR.. ]. H. Sam
uel upon investigating announced that
the little girl was probably suffering
from concussion of the brain which
may prove fatal. However, this after
noon he had much hopes for her re-
covery despite the fact that she re-
mains unconscious. The little girl is
a bundle of nerves and may come out
all right in short time.

FRENCH HERO IS Big
ATTRACTION ON TO-
DAYS PROGRAM
Opening Days Program Thought BY
Many to Have Been Best First Day
Yet-Red Cross Nurse and
French Hero Big Attrac-
tiOns Today.

Maysville's 1919 Chautauqua got
running start for the week on Mon
day with what many thought was the
best first days program of any chau-
tauqua ever given in Maysville.
The Old Home Singers gave very
delightful entertainment in the after
noon and their prelude at the evening
hour was indeed entertaining. The |
quartet of vocalists were musicians of |
the highest type while the pianist was |
wonderfully good. Her instrumental
solos will long be remembered by the
lovers of music.
DR.. James L. Gordon, pastor OF the
First Congregational church of WASH
ington City, the evening lecturer, gave
one of the best up-lift addresses ever
heard here. From the very first sem
tence he uttered he had his large au-
dience with him and he held them
through his entire talk. His address
was on Success and in such short
time he said so many real good things
that it would be difficult to select his
best. His lecture was the sort that
will do one good in years to come.
Many of the very impressive things
he said may not come to ones memory
lust now but there Is no doubt but that
many of his expressions will come up
: in ones mind as food for thought long
after the chautauqua has closed. This
is one of the best things about good
chautauaua-that 1t gives you some
thing to think about for months and
years.
DR.. Gordon Is an orator of great
ability and an original thinker such as
= one Is benefited by hearing. His best
Recommendation Is that those who
heard him could have listened to him
@ for an hour longer and 80 per cent
of his audience would go back to the
n park again this evening to hear him
e again.
l. Todays program is filled with gooe
d things. In the afternoon there VII

Since the announcement that first
zone parcel post rates would be
charged on the army food sold by the
government instead of third zone

been quite rush at the local post Of
flee of persons anxious to place their

close Wednesday evening, those who
want to take advantage of this Of
fering, should act and act very quick

The post office authorities have
made it very easy for one to under.
stand the proposition and the cost Of
the foods. The postage has been cal
culated and added to the net cost o
the food at Chicago so that the actua

Remember that the sale closes Wed

think it is the only liver medicine
made, My husband makes it up and
uses it as tonic as well as a laxative.
l use it for headache, sour stomach,
a full heavy feeling after meals,
which I suppose Is indigestion, and 1t
certainly does me lot of good.
My husband had some kind of
stomach trouble-we don't know just
what. 1t would strike him just any
time in the day and cramp or pain
him Just terribly bad. Someone told
him how to make tea of the Black
Draught, which he did. 1t did him
so much good it removed the cause
and cured him. Since then we have
praised the Black Draught to our
friends, and gladly do So"
Seventy years of successful use has
made Thedford's Black Draught

the help that Black Draught can give
