FOOT CRUSHED. Drayman Dibble Was Badly Injured. Caught by Falling Barrel of Oil and Foot Crushed to a Pulp. Frank Dibble the drayman met with another misfortune yesterday that will probably keep him from his work for the next six weeks. The accident hapened in this way. He was attempting to load a barrel of oil from a car that sat on the G, R. &I. side track onto his dray and in roling the barrel into position his foot caught in a piece of casting throwing him back and causing the barrel to fall with great force on his right foot, frightfully crush 1 ing the instep into a pulp. He was at once tken home and Dr. Beavers called who dressed the foot and gave Frank the consoling news that he would be able to go to work again in six weeks. Frank certainly has had his share of misfortune and we sympathize with him. The injury to his foot was very painful and for a time it was feared by his friends that amputation might lie , necessary. However it is beleived , ho will get along without suffering that ordeal. The Eut<>riiean Society will meet tomorrow evening with Miss Bessie Schrock. All members are request ed to be present. Commissioner Abnct will leave next Monday for Fort Meyers,Florida, where he will stay perhaps two months with a view of bettering the condition of his health. He hopes such a change will prove beneficial, which would lx) cheering news both to him and his friends.

ENGINE TRANCE. A Sort of Temporary I'iiralynlM That Sometime* 1 fleet* Track Men. , “The numerous fatal accidents report- " ed in the newspapers to rail layers that occur every year on the various railroad systems throughout the country ( are not in every case due. as is genI erally supposed by the public, to negligence or carelessness on the part of the workers themselves,” said a New York physician and surgeon employed by the New York Central railroad. "The fact is, the bearing of these men in time becomes affected owing to the constant stooping position which ' they are obliged to assume in laying the rails, putting the bolts in, etc., and : j that renders them often oblivious to , I approaching trains, notwithstanding the fact that they work In gangs and have lookout men near nt hand. An- * other fact which is accountable in t ' many Instances for fatal accidents to , rail layers is what is known among I tlie men themselves as ‘engine trance.' ;' This i might describe more clearly as I a temporary sort of paralysis which affects simultaneously both the mind and body. The ‘stroke’ lasts only a few seconds, but those few seconds mean life or death when a fast train is approaching. "A rail layer who may be in perfect | physical condition is not proof against I tlie powerful fascination as be gazes along tlie rails and sees an engine with its row of ears coming toward him at express speed. Although lie has been warned by the lookout and the shouts of his fellows of the approach- , Ing danger, he will pay no heed, but , stand spellbound for an instant. And [ tiiat instant's delay Is generally fatal. or, if not, it results in the amputation of a leg. “There nre few rail layers who have not, they will tell you. experienced this peculiar trance at one time or another during their careers on the track. Animals are also subject to ‘engine trance,' particularly dogs and cats, and that no doubt accounts to some extent for the large number of them ns well as other animals that nre killed on the railroad "
