George Shaffner's team was hauling atone on a sled that morning, and while the slfd loaded with three large stones one a yard square was on the track, the passenger engine struck it, and hurled the stone into the creek, but the train kept the track. The sled was cut in two and one of the large stones struck the end of a tie and broke it off; and yet that train, fortunately for the fifty passengers on it. kept the track. It was running pretty fast at the time. Horatio St. Clair, a son of John St. Clair, dee'd of Franklin twp., was kill ed at an oil well in Muddycreek twp., last Saturday. He and another man were rebuilding the derrick at the time and he was up in it about 40 feet, and the other man was hoisting lumber to him, when the line broke. This caused Hi. Cluii Lo lobe lii» Uulum-e, ami be fell. alighting upon a stone. He lived but a few hours after. Miss Mary Moore, daughter of Robt. Moore 'if Portersville met with a terri ble death last Saturday. She was bak ing at the time, and went to the stove with a lighted lamp in her hand. The door of the range opened with a spring, it struck the lamp and broke it. and Miss Mary was instantly covered with burning oil. She ran shrieking into the garden,her mother and sister Annie ran after her and caught her and tore the burning clothing from her, but she died from her injuries next night. Mrs Moore and Miss Annie were also badly burned. Oil. NOTES. The Standard is paying "o}c this morning, and the Producers 7Hjc. EVANS CITY The Forest has a new lig up on the Geo.
