On Tuesday evening last, Edward Grube,
aged 18 and Johnny Folts, son of Ilenry
Foltz, aged about 10 years, were drowned
in Sherman's Creek at Stouffer'a dam. The
boys were in an old boat fishing when they
inseusibly glided into tbe current and be
fore they were aware of their danger were
so near the dam that they werecairied over.
A lady living near heard their cries for help
and seeing their dsnger ran to where the
men were at work and gave the alarm. Help
however arrived too late, and up to the hour
when this waa written the bodies had not
been recovered, theugh all day on Wednes
day parties were engaged in trying to find
them. The heavy rains fead turned the
creek into a raging torrent and it was there
fore impossible to get nettr the spot where
(he lads took the fatal plinge. A dog tost
was in the boat with the boys was unable
to swim ashore and wasilso drowned, which
goes to show how btreng the current traa.
On Friday an organize! search for the bod
lea was made by a large number of persons,
and d uring tbe forenoon, the body ef young
Grube was found oely a short distanse Iron,
trie dam. On Snnday several hundred peo
ple visited the. scene of the disaster, and a
party was organised to drag ths creek.
Starting in jntt feclow the dam, a rope was
stretched across -and dragged til! near the
Shallow Ford i rif , when Mr. Kitnrr who was
in the middle of the rope hit tbe body with
his leet w ben it came to the eerface. The
little fellonr was taken out and rolled in a
blanket raid taT eu away. Tke ; parties hav
ing charge of tho lad are very poor, and
consequently a collection was taken up to
defray the es peases of the foceral Blooai-
field T imes.

A !hocKlns Accident.
On tho afternoon of the 14th inst., a
shocking accident took place at Nixon's
railroad stone-quarry, located along the
mountain, in tbe narrows, about five miles
west of this place. The particulars of the
accident are related as follows by tbe Tri
bune : Jaincs Depew, assistant foreman,
and Thomas and Joseph -Jacobs, track re
pairmen, were carrying eid cross-ties from
the main line across thetone quarry sid
ing. The eaiployes of the quarry had gone
to tbe upper nd of tbe steep grade to al
low cars to rtn down the iucline and into
tbe lower quarry, and in order to force tbe
cars up the grade they are Allowed to come
down at a terrdic rate of speed. The men
were notified of the action of the quarry
employes and cautioned to keep a lookout
for tbe cars. When the three uieu men
tioned above wer-o crossing thu siding wiib
a tie, the cars cant) bounding -down the
quarry track and struck the tie, throwing
Thomas Jacobs and James Dcpcw under
tbe wheels and knocked Joseph Jacobs
down alongside the track. Thomas facohs
was horribly mangled, his head crtvhed,
oik) loot cut off and body mutilated in a
frightful mannrr. Death waa instantaneous.
IX'pew's it juries are as fotiows : Left I jot
and ankle crushed, right foot .crushed t-j
near aLkle joint, extensive ealp wound,
ebraions of the face, and severe contusioB
of lett arm and shoulder ; also a lew slight
ebrasions on the body.

when the remain of Jacobs was taken ia
charge fcy L'ndertaker Snyder and prepared
for burial, and Depew conveyed to ihe Com
paiy's hospital room in the Patterson House
where be received necessary surgical atten
tion by the attending physicians. His Lilt
leg was amputated about six inches above
tbe ankle joint. On account of the enfeeb
led condition of the patient, the dressing
of the other limb was deferred nntil Wed
nesday .morning, when the right limb was
amputated at ankle joint (Symes operation)
Ho is getting along remarkably well, and

Applied Astr onouijr.
From the Century.
He took me ut to see the stars,
That astronomic bore . -He
said there were two moons near Mars,
While Jupiter bad four.
I thought of course, he'd whisper soon
What fourfold bliss 'twou'd be -To
stioil bene.-Jh that fourfold moon
On Jupiter with me.
And when he spoke of Siturn's ring
I was convinced he'd say
That was the very kind of thing
To offer me some day.
But in tsngent off he went
To double stars. Now that
Was most suggestive, so couteut
Quite absorbed I sat. -But
know hj talked a dreary mesa,
Of which the only f raction
That caught my faucy, I confess,
Wag "mutual attraction."
I a:d I thought it very queer
Ai-d stupid altogether,
For stais to t p go very near,
Aud jet iivuc cuue together.
At that he smiled, and turned bis head ;
I tbonght he'd caught the notion,
He merely bowed good night and said,
Their safety lay in motion.
