Thrown Out and ICiiled. ou Monday morning, July 12th, about half•past seven o'clook, George Stewart, a mills drawer of the Carthage cheese factory, was thrown from his wagon and was instantly killed, He was 20 years of ago, unmarried, a steady and industrious young man, and the chief support of his parents, of whose farm near Dorking he was the principal manager and worker. The bridge of the highway at Carthage was unsafe and had been condemned and barricaded on the 8th of July, and traffic had to go over a temporary byway through the creek. Stewart was taking a heavy load of milk across this piece of road when the accident oconrred. The wagon lurched over the rough road and threw him to the ground on his head, breaking his neck. Coroner Philip was sent for and watt clown at once. His examination of the road and the oircmn. stances of the accident satisfied him that an inquest was ueoes0ary to fix the re- sponsibility for the accident, and an in- gnest Waa ordered for :Tuesday. Early that morning a jury was empauneled in the Orange Hail at Carthage as follows : —Chas, Glenn, Foreman, Wm. Campbell, J. D. Ingram, Andrew Harvey, sr., Andrew Harvey, jr„ August Hoffmsyer, Jdmes Moore, Alex. Brown, Robb, Hill, Chas. Suoider, Alex. Acinms, Wm, Taylor and Sebaetiau Horn. Tho first witness examined was Alex, Campbell. IIe was eitbing on Eby's platform ab Carthago at 7.30 Monday morning with Aaron Joties and Fred. Schaefer, when Stewart carne by with a load of milk at cu brisk trot. IIe watohed 11101 go along till ho turned out before coming to the briclgo. Hoard Stowart say he could head off a team that was coming North frons other sidle of bridge, Ile saw Stewart fall off the wagon as he toenail off the road, and when the three of them wont down they found hint lying ou the road two or throo feet North of the wagon track and ap- porently quite dead. The left wheals Went over a little tttoimd abort a foot high, think ha trotted his horses over this mound and down the bank, besides this mound there was a stone in. the middle of the byway 7 or le inches high, Witness thought lvlieels had struck the stone but driver had lost his balance bo• foto wheels struck, he tlmngltt the driver: should be able to chive safely thr0»gh in daylight. Aaron Jonas' evidence was confirmatory of preceding wituoss, he Thought, hovevor, that Stewart slowed up as he neared the bridge. IIs thought the road a rough ono for Stewart's load; and diel not think it a safe ono oven in daylight except with a quiet toatn. Tide byway was the only one the ptblio could unto cross the stream at this point. Fred, Shofar,merchant, This evidence Thought Stewart art wont at slower pace ae he tooted the bridge, Saw the wagon tip and driver lose his Mulatto, when wagon righted spot was empty and thought Stowant lead jr,, nped. Think he saw, thrown before lie roaohed the atone The read was rough, but in dayligh ethos have gone over safely, The pee W114 foster than was Hata 011 ouch a road Wit.

It ien't neoeseary to tell you who does the business. People don't conte here day " after day merely for the feu of coming. the Name route, said he thought the row was not safe, 'There are two bad bolas I it, and would not like to drive faster Sha a slow walk and not anises with a stead tenon. At login, 1t was dangerous even with a horse and buggy. john Canm• bell, the eloputy.reeve of Moruiugbon, seas the next whom. Hebei! examined the briclgo and barricaded it on the lith of Jaly, thinking it was not safe. I notified council on the 5th inst. that I would in. spent the bridge and barricade it it um safe, The peeve ordered 1b. Lentick to see about repairing the bridge. It was with the knowledge of the council that traffic was stopped over the bridge. The public wore then compelled to drive over the byway whore Stewart was killed, Nothing was done to improve or prepare this drive way for public) use. The same by -way vette used when the briclgo was being built. Think the road was safe iu daylight, bat nob fit for fast driving, If the elevation that Stawarb's wheel went over and stone were removed and the holes filled in it would have been safer Em.erson 0. Boyd who also tuaule milk over Otis road gave evidence next. He drove a load over titin road on Saturday and Monday. Where Stewart was killed it requires great rare. There is a largo stone in the roadway, a hole gouged out by the water, and quite a large hole at another place, and a person with a load requires to bo very catcall not to drive into it angling. It is difficult to bring both wheels down straight into the holo and preveut the wagon wrenching and pitching. There is also a small niottncl ab brow of a little hill on East side of by- way. Road could easily be made safe at small cost and in a few hum's. My load is extra heavy and yesterday I had as- sistance to prevent accident. Last Satur- day Stewart told me he did not feel safe in bringing kis grey team over The road at the creek, and wbeu coming home, when we got, over, he said, "Well, we have landed safalyouce again." Boyd on being recalled rotor on, said :—I sent a written ootids ou the lOth inst. to John Oampbell, deputy -reeve, to the effect that The bridge way not safe and should be fixed inunediately, as it was danget'ons at present. This notice seas signed by two or three outer persona who use the road. Mr. Boyd says that be meant by the notice that the roadway was dangerous, while the deputy -reeve took the letter to mean that the bridge was dangerous. This concluded the evidence, and the jury shortly afterwards brought in the following verdict : "We, the Coroner's jury in the case of George Stewart, find that he name to his death by being thrown from hie wagon at the Carthage bridge, this by -way being very rough, while he was driving rather fast." :I'he Coroner charged the deputy -reeve that the road should be fixed at once, that the mound and Mouse be removed and the holes filled upThe road was very dangerous and should be mended without delay. The sante aftmrooms a fordo of men were put at work and the road made safely passable till the bridge is repaired. Stewart hauled milk from near Dork- ing, where his farm was, and drove his grey team on the morning of the accident. They were a perfectly safe team on pas- sable roads. • One Ma orta cOpkestusiale 'Vloreeek r And we will reach the road of July 1 a wonderful month it's been too—wore BINDER T'» INE Plymouth Special, American Sheaf, Absolutely Pure Manilla, Sisal, Red Plat, Blue Tag, Standard Manilla, Iubileo--Guaranteed Manilla Selected l\:ianilla.
