THOS. S PERKINS, Committee on Program. ' ... The first dirt thrown In the construction of the grade for the Erie railroad double tracking plan through this vicinity will be done directly west of the water tank in the west' part of the city within the next two or > three days. Mr. Lee, the successful bidder for the section extending from one mile east of Wren to two miles west of Decatur, shipped several car loads of tools nearly a month ago, but the same were delayed until the early part of this week when the first car arrived. Mr. Tate, the repret -ntative of Mr. Lee, will have the active superintendence of the work of grading and wijl begin to get, the tools on the ground today. A force of laborers were shipped in Tuesday and were engaged in unloading the cars this morning. All the labor necessary for the work will be shipped in as It requires a sort of skilled labor for the proper doing of the work. The teams will be employed here, and it is expected that over a hundred will be employed provided It is possible to get them. The headquarters of the men will be in Decatur, and the different crews will probably work out of here. It is probable that the work of grading will be completed over the entire section before ground Is broken within the city limits, because but very little, if any steel, will be laid during the coming summer. The work on the construction of the bridges will begin as soon as the necessary materials arrive. Mr. Welch, the engineer for the Erie, who has been in the city some time, will have control of all the work in behalf of the Erie. All efforts of the Adams County Sunday School association point to a union picnic for July Fourth, in which all the Sunday schools of the county will join. A meeting of the county officers, as well as pastors and superintendents, and general workers, was held this morning at the Presbyterian church, and was well attended, man’’ schools of the county being represented. Definite action was taken when a committee was appointed to secure a suitable location near Decatur for the picnic. The committee is comprised of Rev. T. L. Jones, G. T. Burke, C. J. Lutz, S. C. Cramer, A. J. Smith and Roy Mumma. Endeavors to secure a shady, cool grove, with good water at.d other desirable features, will be made When al’, plans have matured the committee expects to have a great Fourth of July picnic, with a splendid program. There will be a band to furnish music, as well as music by the various Sunday schools, and there will be noted speakers from a distance to give addresses. This with everything else that goes to make a Fourth of July picnic will be in evidence. Efforts to make it "safe and sane” will be made and no firecraciders will be allowed on the grounds. For several years these union picnics have been held near Berne, and Decatur should be pleased to secure It this year. Berne has gained a wide reputation in this line, and many counties, even from the extreme south of the state, have written to them from time to time for plans on their picnic, which they have copiel. Among those present this morning were County President Jesse Rupp, and County Secretary and Treasurer J. L. Lehman, and Rev. Kaley of Berne. Rev. Gleiser of this city acted as temporary chairman.

One of the narrowest escapes from death or serious injury, perhaps recorded in the annals of automobile history, was that Wednesday of the D. F. Leonard family of West Monroe street, the seven members of which -■ere pinned under their overturned automobile which ran off of a sevenfoot embankment with them near Frankfort, turning turtle and throwing the occupants from the car into a ditch filled with water. All escaped injury except Mr. Leonard, who sus tained a dislocated left shoulder ar today is confined to his bed and under the care of a physician. The family left Saturday for Frankfort to visit with relatives, and Mr. Leonard also to combine business with pleasure. They remained over Sunday and left Wednesday morning in their large touring car for their home in this city. They had visited last with friends near Boyleston, a few miles from Frankfort, and the accident happened about 10 o’clock Wednesday morning just a short distance from the home which they visited last. The whole matter, it is thought, lay in the auto hand clutch, which had never worked properly, The machine went merrily along till a bridge running across a creek was reached. The auto passed over, but just as it reached the other side, turned in a zig-zag or cross-cut fashion, and ran directly off the seven-foot embankment. In the fall to the nar-

row ditch at the side of the road, it turned turtle and fell, with all the occupants under It, In the ditch, which was filled with water nearly kneedeep. Owing to the fact that their bodies were thrown Into the narrow ditch, and they thus lay snugly in the crevice, to a great extent, while the automobile top kept the heavy bed of the automobile raised above them, and prevented the weight or the auto from resting entirely on them, they escaped with very slight injuries. The shock and fright, however, was great, and the anguish of the parents as they lay pinned beneath the car, not knowing how bad the others were injured, was great. It was some time before they could move at all, and their shouts for help were long in being heard. Mr. Leonard, however, finally worked himself free and crawled out, Mrs Leonard and little son, James, soon following. By thia time many who lived near, were attracted to the scene and helped in raising the auto from the other members, which included Muriel, Hallie, Mildred and Bernice. Several of the members of the family were pinned down across the back, while Mrs. Leonard was thrown in such away that a part of the automobile lay directly across her chest, and it is indeed remarkable that they escaped without broken bones or internal Injuries. The fall into the water made matters worse, all their clothing being ruined, together with the contents of their grips, which were thrown into the ditch. Kind hands helped them to return to the home which they had left, and which fortunately was near, where their wants were given attention. A doctor'who examined them, there, stated that Mr. Leonard's shoulder was probably only sprained, and after they were again gotten ready for the return home, a friend from that place accompanied them here, driving the machine, which had not been damaged to an extent to prevent its use. In fact the only damage done to the auto was to the too and the breaking of glass and such minor things, which is aiso a very remarkable escape. In fact it is very rarely that occupants of cars which turn turtle in this way, escape death. The family arrived home Wednesday evening about 9:30 o'clock, Mr. Leonards shoulder giving him considerably more pain, and it is nowthought that it was dislocated instead of only very badly sprained. He was confined to his bed this morning, and a physician called to attend him. The friend who accompanied them here, driving the auto, returned to Frankfort over the Clover Leaf. Mr. Leonard is the well known auctioneer and real estate man, who recently moved from north of the city to Decatur, where he has opened an office over the Vance, Hite & Macklin store.

HUNT'NGTON BUSINESS MEN. A number of the thirty automobiles, bearing 12’. members of the Huntington Commercial association on an instruction tour to Fort Wayne Wednesday, Where they were guests of the Fort Wayne Commercial club, passed through Oecatur Wednesd y evening enroute uome. They atoppeJ here for a while and created much favorable comment. The ears were gaily decora.ed with minting, flags and pennants, bearing the initials "H. C.

A case of wife desertion was filed in the comt here against him some time ago, but at the trial the jury disagreed and the case was dismissed. Ayres has been working in Bay View, Mich., but visited here March 12th, and that date is named as the date of the desertion. His wife and children have been residing with her sister, Mrs. William Ray, at Berne. When the second suit was filed against him Wednesday, his attorneys, C. L. Walters and D. E. Smith, at once sent a telegram to him to that effect, and he came here at once and asked that the warrant be served upon him. he giving the bond and leaving again for his work.

Erwin of Fort Wayne are attorneys for Louis Korn of Berne, who has filed a suit in the Allen superior court for partition of the real estate left by his step-father, the late George A. Hermsdorfer, and valued at about SB,OOO. It will be remembered that Hermsdorfer was the husband of Korn’s mother, his second wife, and in his will left one-third of his estate

to her. His second wife died soon thereafter, and her two heirs—her son, Louis Korn, and a granddaughter, are entitled to her one-third share. A daughter of Hermsdorfer by his first wife, attempted to set aside the will, thus cutting oft Korn and his niece, but the decision of the court Tuesday held the will valid. William W.
