Report of the Sheridan Damage
Uaso. .
rimliinl fanes IIiioncI of fron Ae
qnltteri Yoiins Werts Sent to the
Ki'feviimlory Miimr Matter
imftnl of.
Bridget Bhcridnn widow &c: vs.
the township of Palmyra. This
was on action brought to recover
damages arising from the death of
her huslmnd who sustainiMl fatal in-
uries, by falling through n bridge
with his team and wagon. The
bridge is located across the Wollen
pnupnc river, near Hnwlcy, which
is the line between the counties of
Wayne and Pike. The testimony
showed that Michael Sheridan was
a hale industrious man of about 52
years of age, and that ho was en
gaged in the business of farming,
teaming and quarrying stone. That
he drew two loads over tho bridge
tho day before the accident, and
Sept. 1 9 1S94 in crossing the bridge
on the Pike county sido guvo way
It appeared that it was built in two
parts, a pier being located near the
centre of the stream and that Pal
myra township built and maintained
its part. Tho bridge is on a public
road which has been for many years
worked by the supervisors, nnd they
also repaired the bridge from time to
time, and paid workmen for so doing
Mr. Mandervllle said Chas. Downs
as supervisor of Palmyra township
in Pike county built that end over,
or had it dono 10 years ago, and that
it had beoii built over three times in
ton yep rs I nd was not safe in all that
time. Hint it was repaired auout a
year bofofe the accident, and that
the ends of the chords were rotten,
and the baiwe of its falling was the
brace shoved out. John Glass test!
fled he put 4 braces under the Pike
county side for Raidloff.and also put
in stringer in Sept. 1893 for John De
groat who was supervisor, and paid
him for his work. At that time the
stringer on the upier sido was de
cayed and he told the supervisor it
would not last a year.but ho said
they were short of funds and could
not repair it at present.
Wesley Piorson said ho had known
the road since 1870 and lief ore, and
that it had beeu kept up by the pub
lic all that time. There were some
plank put on the Pike county span
by the supervisor only a few days
before the accident.
Thos. Grady worked out his tax on
the road when Huff and Degvoat
wore supervisors, and ho saw Do-
groat- repairing tho bridge taking
out timbers &c.
Thas. Brophy got the timbers of
the bridge, which were .produced in
court, and which showed the rotten
condition of the bridge.
Joseph Reidmiller a carpenter
passed over the briflge in 1892 or 1893
while Glass was working there, and
spoke to Degroat about the condition
of the chords, tliat they looked black
and poor, and told him one sido was
as bad as the other. Evidence was
also given showing who had lxen
the supervisors of the township
for a number of years and also show
ing tho earning capacity of Sheri
dan, and also further establishing
the fact that tax had been worked
out on the road and the bridge re
paired by tho supervisors for sever
al years.
The defendant showed by S. R.
Huff who .was supervisor in 1890
tliat he that year put in chords bra
ces middle beams, and head blocks,
using good hemlock and oak lumber.
Newcomb Kimble worked for Huff
in doing this work and also under
Do Groat in planking the bridge
De Grout supervisor in 1892 put in
two sloepers on tho lower sido and
at that time I examined the upper
side. He denied telling Glass they
had no money to make repairs, and
did not tell Grady tho briugo was
good enough.
Homer Downs supervisor in 1894
put planks on tho bridge, and m
August same year tried the bridge
with a bar, and thought it was left
in good condition. Did not test the
stringer over the pier or abutment.
Houry Quick hoi pud put planks on
in 1891 and tried tho stringers with
a sharp bar. Edward Tuthill saw
Sheridan tho night lieforo the acci
dent . He said the bridge would
ake and he was afraid of It, but I
told him it was rebuilt onlv a few
years before and 1 thought it safe.
George Razor talked with Sheri
dan a day or two before the accident
and they thought the bridge was
not safe. Evidence was given by
several as to wages paid, weight of
the wagon and load, showing that it
was a hea vy wagon with a largo load
of stone. After a fair and impartial
charge the jury retired and rendered
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
J'2,100 basing the amount on tho cap
acity of the deceased to earn 50 cts
per day for 1 i years.
In tho case of tho Commonwealth
vs. Charles Cron, aged 12 years, the
lad who has lieen confined for some
time in the county jail for shooting
little Chris. Drako in Greene town
ship, the evidence was substantially
as follows : The boys went out Oc
tober 5 nnd met in the woods. Cron
said to Drake, "See how nice I can
shoot you," and stepped in front of
Drake and shot him. He had made
threats that he would do so in Sep
tember if Drake did not own that he
liod broken in some house. By the
testimony of Dr, Simons it appeared
there were some 30 or 40 shot in
Drake's hand and 40 in his abdomen,
nnd they hit him at a vital spot. Af
ter the shooting Cron wanted Drake
to say that he did not shoot him and
threatened if he did to shoot him
again. The judge charged the jury
that it was for them to determine
whether Cron was of sufficient ago
to form an intent to commit a crime,
and they came to the conclusion he
was not by rendering a verdict of
not guilty-
Commonwealth vs. Win. Wentz,
which was an indictniont for break-
ihg and entering a photograph gal-
lory, and stealing lenses.tho defend
ant who is a boy of about 17 pleaded
guilty to receiving, and was sen

Important Failure.
County Treasurer Fred Eilen
berger, of Monroe county, failed
last Saturday for about 125,000. It
is attributed to heavy business losses

no wise affect the money belonging
to tho county which is deposited, in
the first national kink.

OBITUARY.
ALLEN WHITESF.L HF.AI).
Allen AVhitesel was buried Tues
day morning March 17th nt ten o'
clock, religious services being con
ducted by Rev. S. W. Griflln, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church.
Tho deceased man was born in
Pike county Pennsylvania, being a
son of Benjamin Whitesel, and both
parents are yet living in Pennsyl
vania. After leaving school he served an
apprenticeship at the tinner trade,
and was a first-class workman.boing
able to do anything in the line of his
trade.
About eleven years ago, he left
Pennsylvania and came west, and
has lived in Southern Kansas and
Oklahoma. Ho has been a resident
of Enid for upward -if two years,
employed by Hockaday & Company.
Ho was exceedingly popular with
companions.
Ho had been sick with some lung
trouble for two weeks previous to
his death, but was not regarded as
in a dangerous Condition. On
Thursday Mnreh 12 he was so much
bettor, that Dr. Feild discontinued
his visits, and by Saturday night
Mr. Whitesel was so cheorful over
his condition, that he talked of go
ing to work again Monday morning.
His sudden death then on Sunday
morning March 15, was a shock to
his intimate friends here who had
not regarded him as being in a crit
ieal condition.
Mr. Whitesel had ben n member
of the Odd Fellows organization for
many years and the Lodge here took
charge of the remains, and arranged
for tho funeral Dispatches ftvere
sent to his parents, brothers imNe
braska, and to John W. NyceX of
Caldwell, whom1 wife is a cousin-f
the deceased.
Mr. Nyeo, was tho only family
connection present at the funeral.
Lnst .night ho related that ho hadre
coived a dispatch announcing tho
death Sunday afternoon. That he
was entertaining at his home ten
other men from Pennsylvania nnd
tliat a few minutes previous to
tho receipt of tho dispatch, they
wero talking of tho deceasod and
Cliarlos Newlnnds, and tho remarks
were made, that if these two were
present, their Pennsylvania crowd
in this section would bo complete-

Raines High Tax Bill.
Governor Morton having signed
the Raines liquor tax bill it is now a
law in New York state. While it
has im perfections, and what law on
that subject has not, it is certainly
a long step in advance of tho law
formerly controlling the sale in that
State. Tho present law is an at
tempt to substitute a high tax for a
high license system and it will allow
every one to open a saloon who is
willing to pay the tax. It is in this
rospect different from the methods
in most States, and its operation
will be a matter of interest. There
have been many unfair critcisms of
it several mayors of cities claiming
that it will deprive the municipali
ties of much revenue, but tho fact is
that if two-thirds of tho present
iiuinlMTof saloons go out of business
the revenue to tho city will U great
er from the one-third than it now is
Tins law will take the matter of
grunting licenses out of tho hands
of the local excise boards, whore the
privilege was shamefully abused,
and in some instance no bonds given,
or if the farce of so doins was gone
through with names placed thereon
without tho knowledge or consent
of their owners, and Xcn when the
term of tho comnrishioncr expired
tho bonds were destroyed. The
granting will now rest with a board
to ho appointed which should be
non-partisan. The tax will range
from 30 to :i00, and if tho law
proves as beneficial in its oieration
as did the Brooks' high licenso act
in this state, it will go a long wuy
toward improving tho morals of the
people in our sister state.
A religious hope does not only
bear up the mind under her suffer
ings, but makes her rejoice in them.

Monograph of a large Cameo. The
Triumph of Constantino, which was
at one time tho property of Catha
rine II Empress of Russia, and by
her in 1785 presented to one of her
ambassadors. At his death it was
sold, and became the property of a
banking house, which in time sold it
to a Greek, and at his death it be
came part of a collection iu Styria,
from whence it was obtained by
Prof. Summerville and added to his
large and valuable collection in the
University. The Professor easily
holds the first place in this country
in the knowledge and history of en

doubt the finest and perhaps most
valuable of any in the United States.
He is to be congratulated on this
latest acquisition, which has been
obtained by a porseverence and la
