One of the horses was killed ipstanâ€" tly, the other had to be Xkilled a few minutes later, and when the young driver was picked up he was _ found to be still living. He was put into a delivery sleigh and hurriedly driven to the Hospital, where Dr. _ J. F. Honsherger attended him. The sleigh was smashed to pieces. and the noise of the machinery in the sawâ€"mill and of the approaching train caused the young team of horses to become frightened and unmanageable. The animals reared and jumped and they were on the crossing before the driver appeared to realize his danâ€" gerous position. He quickly _ turned the horses toward the west, and at that moment the borses, man _ and sleigh were struck by the train which was running at a rate of 20 miles an hour. + Many stories have been circulated regarding the accident, but several eyeâ€"witnesses have been interviewed, and the story of the sad affair sumâ€" marized shows that young Schaaf came to Berlin with a load of logs which were desivered to Brubacher‘s mill, near the Lancaster St. crossing.

The motherland was opposed to this universal dominion and after securing contrul of the narrow seas she fought for years on the side of the weaker nations until she secured the balance of power, and thus gave to every country in the world a chance to work out its own destiny.
