Annual Convention of Ohio State
Council of Carpenters and Joiners,
held in Dayton last week, and reports
that a large amount of important bus
mess was disposed of by that body
while in session, among which was the
adoption of the new building code as
worked out by an official committee
and the endorsement of the old age
pension fund.
Reports from all localities through
out the state are favorable, and John
H. Potts, of Cincinnati, stated that
general conditions were in better
shape and rates of pay higher in Ohio
than in any state in the union. A

remarks.

Horrible Fatal Accident

A terrible accident occurred at the
Fifth street railroad crossing Monday
evening at 9 o'clock which resulted
in the instant death of three persons
and the possible fatal injury of sew
eral others. An automobile driven by
Ben Jones, a decorator living south
of town, in which were riding Mrs.
Laura Wilson and her four daughters
Agnes, Opal, Helen and Margaret
Shepherd, aged IL, 8, and 3 years
respectively, stalled on the crossing
and was struck by an east bound
Pennsylvania freight train and the
machine and it's occupants strewn
along the track from Fifth to Fourth
streets. Agnes and Margaret Shep-
herd were badly mangled and killed
instantly, the others, with the eXcep-
tion Of Jones, who was apparently
but slightly hurt, were rushed to the
city hospital where Mrs. Wilson died
the next morning at o'clock. Opal
has fractured skull and broken jaw
and is badly cut about the head and
face, and Helen suffered fracture
of the right leg, scalp wound and
was badly bruised about the body.
1t is now thought that Jones has
been injured internally. The condi
tion Of the three survivors is critical
and the final outcome is uncertain.
Jones claims that he misunderstood
the crossing watchman's signal to
stop, and through excitement, due to
the approaching train, killed his
engine. George Fessler, the watch
man, endeavored to push the machine
from the track and had a narrow
escape.
