Friday Night's Scrap.
About 10:80 Friday night Conductor
Edward Guthrie of the P. & W. rail
road, Brakemao Joseph L. Wiles of the
I'. B. A: L. E. and some other railroad
men were standing at the corner of
Main and East Diamond streets in front
of Cooper's tailor shop, discussing an
assault which Wiles had seen two men
make on another about two years ago.
Guthrie insisted that Wiles had not
done his duty in not assisting the man
attacked. Finally the argument made ,
them angry and Wiles struck Guthrie j
with his fist on the point of the chin, j
felling him unconscious to the pave- 1
ment. Blood gnshed from Guthrie's ,
nose, ears and month and bystanders ;
feared he was killed. He was picked j
up and was carried into the Central Ho
tel close at hand, and Dr.-. S. I>. and
Harry Bell and Bricker were summon
ed. They had him removed to his home
on S. Main street, where two hour's
work failed to bring him to conscious
ness. Their examination showed he
was suffering from concussion of the
brain and a fracture of the drum of the
left ear.
For a time it was feared there was a
fracture of the skull also. However,
next morning he came to and began
slowly to recover. Monday he was able
to get about the house. The broken ear
drum will cause deafness in that mem
ber.
Saturday morning then was much
discussion of the affair on the street, it
being currently reported that Guthrie
was about to die. Wiles has not been
arrested.
ACCIDENTS.
George Barrickman. a son of Abe.
Barrickman of N. Washington St. had
his right arm broken last week, by fall
ing from a hay loft.
Near Harrisville, Tuesday, Mrs. Rich
ard Surrena, was thrown from her
buggy and seriously injured. That
evening she and her husband went for
a drive <vhen the buggy of some drunk
en men, who were liorse-racing. struck
their buggy, upsetting and smashing it,
and throwing the occupants out. Mrs.

William Harmon, a well to do farmer
of Sugar Creek township, Armstrong
county, and his son, Charles, drove to
East Brady with a load of ice early in
the day, and after taking on a load of
furniture started back home, accom
panied by Frank, the 14-year-old son of
Jacob Ott. living just across the river
at Brady's Bend, who intended to ac
company them as far as his home.
They arrived at the Allegheny Valley
railway crossing just as the Niagara
Express was pulling into the depot, and
although a number of persons shouted
to Mr. Harmon not to attempt to cross
in tront of the train he evidently
thought he could do so, and when the
wagon reached the center of the track
the engine struck it and the two occu
pants, throwing them into the air 30
feet and 75 feet from the travk. killing
both, Frank Ott instantly, while Mr.
Harmon lived only a few minutes.
Mr. Harmon's son jumped off the
wagon just before it was struck and
escaped.
