* Ashtabula River train wreck
* Edgewood, Ohio


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "The Ashtabula Horror" "The Loss of Life Culpably and Inexcusably Increased" and more. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, nice condition.
