Col B. H. Corning made misstep and
fell nearly the whole length Of the lower
flight of stairs in the Lancaster House
last Thursday evening, injuring himself
quite seriously. For several days he was
unable to sit up, or scarcely move himself
in bed. He is now improving, however,
and we are glad to learn it is thought he
will entirely recover from his Injuries.
Mr.. J. C. Mitchell of this town, has
secured letters patent for an improved
car coupling which it is believed will be
generally adopted for freight cars in place
of the old link and pin arrangement. 1t is
constructed so as to be operated without
endangering the limbs and life Of the per-
son operating it, There is demand for
the right thing in this line and we doubt
not that the experiment soon to be tried
by the G. 7. r. II. Co., will prove Mr..
Mitchelrs patent to be just what is de.
manded.
Wednesday morning, first, the cry Of
"Fire :" rang out sharp and shrill, upon the
clear and frosty atmosphere and as a
natural consequece there was grand
rush to ascertain the cause. 1t proved
to be the house of Frank Smith, on high
St., that was on fire. The smoke was
issuing through the roof near the chimney
but where it came from was not easily
ascertained. At length however the fire
was found to be in the partition next to
the chimney in the upper story of the
house, and was soon eXtinguishcd by
Babcock's Fire extinsusher, which Il. r.
Kent, Chief of the Fire Department had
very opportunely taken along. Both fire
engines were promptly on hand and q
large crowd of people turned out ready
for duty. Fortunately, however their
services were not required. In this in
stance, as also on one occasion when the
paper mill took fire, the efficiency of those
little Babcock E1tingushers was fully
demonstrated. Loss slight; Insured in
the Coos Mutual
