The prosecutor holds fcnat. under the Valentine law. as worded, it would be impossible- to prove an offense upon any stipulated day, so the fine of $3,000 and costs will be permitted to suffice for the '. companya aggregate offenses for the three years. i is believed that the penalty of $3,000" may be Imposed for every dy covered in the indictment should a confliction result. This fine would apply also to the directors and Mr. Rocketfeller, all of whom be liable addition ally to Imprisonment for from sis onths to one year.

Interurban Freight Car Hit Corn Shredder Belonging to James Chapman.
MOTOR MAN WAS INJURED SHREDDER WAS DESTROYED AND FRONT OF CAR WAS CAVED IN TRAFFIC WAS DELAYED FOR SOME TIME. The corn shredder owned by Mr. James S. Chapman, of Cambridge City was. struck by an east bound interurban freight car, last night about six o'clock near East Germantown. Joe Jackson of this city the motorman on the car, had his leg badly bruised and cut, the corn shredder was totally destroyed, while the front end of the freight car was demolished, and the running apparatus so broken that a special troni tne Richmond barns had to be sent to East Germantown to bring in the crippled car. Owing to the extremely' heavy load upon the freight car, it served as a ballast, or the probabilities are, that the car would have been hurled off the track and probably the motorman and ccr d ictor would have received serious if not fatal injuries. S?ys no Whistle Sounded, Mr. Chapman was crossing the tracks east of Germantown, and had forgotten the fact that the freight car was scheduled to follow the passenger, which he had noticed passlig by. He therefore smarted his machine across the tracks, and all of the engine and tender had passed over when the interurban struck the shredder. Mr. Chapman stated that the car did not whistle for the crossing and the headlight could not be seen, owing to the fact that thei'e was a turn near the point of crossing, and that it was also foggy which dimmed the effect of tie extremely strong headlight. Mr. Jackson the injured motorman wa3;p3aced upon the next passeneer car coming into this city" and taken to his home. Although the injury which he sustained is not of serious nature it is very painful, and unless complications set in, he will recover in the course of the next few weeks. The wreck blocked the track for some time. BAD ACCIDENT AVERTED Broken Spring on New VorK Limited Discovered in Time to Prevent a Wreck. . A serious accident was narrowly Notable Buildings ARCHITECT.

PREVENTS HYDROPHOBIA WELL KNOWN JUNK DEALER ASKS FOR DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT OF BEING BITTEN BL ALLEGED VICIOUS DOG. The wonders of the famous Bundy "mad-stone" were exploited, at great length in the Wayne circuit court yesterday in connection with the damage suit brought by William II. Irvin, of Dublin against Mrs. Alice Elliott and her daughters Mary and Glenn Hoover. The plaintiff asks $2,000 because of a serious injury he alleges he received at the hands or to be legally, "at the mouth" of what he avers in his complaint to have been a vicious dog. ; . Irvin is a junk dealer who is widely known in the western part of Wayne county and on May 1, last, he went to the Elliott home, just north of Publin, for the purpose of making a purchase of some material in his line, and alleges that while passing through the yard he was bitten on the calf of the leg by the dog in question. Irvin avers tSiat he thought little of the wound at the time, although he realized that the teeth of the animal had not only torn his trousers and underclothing, but had penetrated the flesh. Soon after it. occurence, the leg began to give him trouble and he avers that there was ever reason to believe that he was about to suffer from hydrophobia. Though without means he proceeded to New Castle and the famous liundy mad-stone was applied to the wound. It adhered for forty-six, hours, thereby proving conclusively it is alleged that there was poison within the wound and that had it not been withdrawn by the agency of the mad", stone, serious consequences might have resulted.
