Almost Bad Accident We heard
a rumor yesterday morning that child had
been killed and several women severely
hurt by the upsetting of wagon, on the
other side of the river; but after ascertaining
the facts found that rumor as usual had
greatly exaggerated. On Wednesday
evening Mr.. o. PYERs, with his wife and
baby, were coming down the hill on Ohio
Street. on two-horse wagon loaded with
wood; the wagon tipped over, spilling wood,
driver, wOman and baby out promiscuously;
the man and his wife we're covered up with
the wood and the baby was thrown several
feet from the wagon, but SO lightly that the
fall did not wake it upI Nobody was hurt,
to speak Of We get these facts from Mr..
PYERs himself.

The Fire Department.-Un nder the en-
ergetic opening administration of Chic
Engineer M. E. TYLER, the Fire Department
is in process of entire reorganization. Wher
it is thoroughly accomplished we will give
a complete review of Department affairs.
ARRIVAL OF THE NEW HAND ENGlSE.-Or
Thursday afternoon last the new hand en-.
gine purchased by the city for the German
Company, "Oity of Fremont No. /, " arrived
from New York, and on Monday the Com.
pany, fully uniformed, turned out in their
strength to show the machine and test its
powers. Headed by the Fremont Brass
Band and the Martial Baud they paraded
through the principal streets, and afterwards
took their engine to the mill race at the
foot of Garrison street and ''playcd away
right lively for short time 1t worked
well, but like all new machines needs a
great deal cf use to timber it up and make it
run smoothly.
The new engine was purchased in New
York at a cost of about $3,7OO, and is named
]
"Eyer Ready"
NEw HosE.-The City Council has agreed
to purchase one thousand feet of new hose,
and appointed Mr.. BELTS as a committee to
attend to the matter. The hose has been
contracted for, of the firm of BIcKFoRp d
CURTIS, Buffalo New York, at S1.75 per
foot. Samples of it have been forwarded
examined by competent judges, and 70
nounced good. Five hundred feet are to be
delivered in 8 or 10 days, and the balance
shortly after.
The OLD HAND EKGINE.-This machine
was formally presented to the Third Ward
last Monday, and has been transferred to
new quarters on the east side. When it is
repaired it will perform as good work as the
new hand engine. Two or three hundred
dollars will put it in good shape.
ASoTHER FIRE CoMPANT.-The old hand
Engine, No. l. having been presented to the
Third Ward the citizens assembled at the
VIM Tell House on Tuesday evening for the
" W Lew It lI6 OOmDdnY.
The meeting was called to order by choosing
j. KELLER as Chairman, and G. HooKE as
Sec'y. Mr.. KELLER made few remarks,
stating the benefits that would be derived
from good and well organized company,
and closed by inviting all present to enroll
themselves as members. Forty eight names
were soon on the list. when the following
officers were elected:
NJ. FREE, Foreman.
J. KELLER, 1sT Assistant.
@. KEEFE, 2l Assistant.
R. n. CULLEY, Secretary.
@. HocKE, Treasurer.
JACKSON BENDER, Hose Captain.
After the election of officers the new COM
pany received the name of City of Fremont
No. 9.
By the organization of this company the
strength Of our Fire Department is increased
and its greater efficiency secured. The plan
of having an engine on the east side of the
river is excellent, and the new company is in
all respects tip-top one. !

Confidence Game brace of sharp
ers the other day attempted to come the
confidence game over Mr.. ISAAC BRUEER, a
citizen of jackson township, this county,
but their plan was discovered and the swim
die prevented before its completion. The
circumstances were about as follows: Mr..
/ BRuNER had been to New York State selling
cattle, and on Monday morning last was re-
turning home, by the G. & T. Road. At
Elyria business like gent. entered the car
and took a seat by his side. Entering into
conversation, the stranger, after learning
that Mr.. BRUNER was coming to Fremont,
informed him that Fremont was his destina-
ton, also; that he had charge of lot Of
bankrupt goods which he was going to cell
here; and went on TO make inquiries about
store room, business prospects, etc. The
gents manner was SO candid and off-hand
that Mr.. B. never suspected anything wrong
of him. Shortly before reaching Clyde, an
other gent came into the car, and looking
over the passengers, as if in search of some
Ohc1 thC VI OhOEEh NOAupaIlOu
Coming up to him he inquired if those were
his goods in the Express car, marked SO and
so, and consigned to Fremont Yes, GER
tainly, they were, said gent No. l. No. 2
said there were some charges on them not
paid, and he should take them through to
Toledo and hold them for pay ment-wouldn't
put them off at Fremont at all. Gent No.
was surprised-thought the charge were all
paid-but would make it all right as soon as
they reached Fremont. Gent No. would mt
consent to tbat-must be made all right be.
fore the goods were landed. No. l coaxed
and explained, but without avail; then turn
ing Mr.. BRUNER, he asked him if he could
accommodate him with the amount till they
got to Fremont. Mr.. BRuNEn, who had
listened to the conversation and supposed of
course it was all right, said possibly he
might. How much was wanted? No. 9 |
said the charges were two hundred dollars
So B. counted out two hundred dollars and
gave it to the gent beside him. No.2 seeing
it was all right, and that he would get his |
money at Fremont, went away satisfied |
About this time the train reached Clyde, and |
before the cars stopped Mr.. BRUNER' COM
panion got up and started for the door, in an |
easy natural sort ofway. B. looked at him,
then for the first time, smelling mice, fol- |
lowed him. The stranger stepped on the
platform ready 10 light out" as soon as the
train stopped, and about that time BRUNFR |
reached for his coat collar and got "fast |
holt" on him. The gent wiggled, but
could mt get loose. The conductor came
along just then, and in answer to an inquiry
Of BRUNER's, said that fellow had no goods |
on the train. The passengers were crowd
ing on and off the cars, and the two worked
their way down TO the depot platfDrm, where
BRUNER drew a revolver and pointing it at
the head of the fellow told him TO hand back
that money-schich he did. Twenty dollars
we're missing, but he was made TO fork that
over. Just at this time the cars started, and
in the hurry and hustle of getting on the
rain the scoundrel made his escape.

Local Soraps.-The Panorama of the
"Apocalypse" is on exhibition at Mammoth
Hall. 1t said to be a good thing.
From P. N. till A. N. the streets of
Fremont are shrouded In darkness, no moon,
20 stars, no gas. All the surgeons are over
hauling their cases of instruments and get
ing them in readiness to operate on the
broken legs, smashed ribs and cracked crani-
ums Of unfortunate pedestrians who are
compelled TO be out at night. If only Bore
FUR and the rest would stumble into hole
in the bridge and stick there all night, it
would be some compensation
On Monday last the remains of the
brother-in-law of Rev. Mr.. PHELPS were
brought to this place for reinterment from
Hartford, Conn, where they were buried
some years ago. They were escorted to
Oak Wood Cemetery by members of the
Masonic order, and reinterred in the Mason
ic circle.
F. The annual ball Of the German Fire
Company, last Monday night at Mammoth
Hail. was largly attended, and the receipts
amounted to handsome sum.

Accident Bal Townsand-In the after

Accident in Townsend.-In the after
noon of Friday, 2lst inst, as a little son and
daughter of O.. G. SANFORD were playing
around stove in, the back part of the house,
the little girl, some six years old, sat down
on the stove-hearth, where her clothes took
fire. The door communicating with the
front part of the house being bolted, she ran
out to pass around the house, with the back
part of her clothing in blaze, the flames
shooting above her head, when she was me
by her brother SooTT, who first smothered
the flames by wrapping her in his over-coat
and then dashing on water all of which oc-
cupied but brief moment, but that mo-
ment seemed an age. The burn extended
all over her back and from the point of her
elbows to the top Of her head. She was un-
conscious nearly all Sunday, but Monday
morning hopes were entertained of her re-
covery.
