Fred Parker had Thanksgiving ride at least
they must all have been supremely thankful that
1t terminated no worse. Briefly, these are the
facts; Fred, with his wife and youngest child,
started to go home from Harvey Briggs. Having
bnngling mittens on he failed to get good
rein " on his young horse and found himself
split" In falling he lost his reins and away
went horse and wagon, wife and child pel-mell,
down the hill, lines dragging. Mothers may, pos
sibly, imagine Mrs Parker's feelings. She real
lied their danger but chose not to part with her

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT NORTH PowsAL.-A
freight car standing the side track Of the Troy
Boston road at North PowDal was released from
the brakes by some malicious person Friday
night, and started down the grade toward Troy
At the junction of the side track with the main
not twenty feet east Of the railroad bridge, the
car left the rail and lay right in the way of an on.
coming freight train, which struck it with terrific
force. The car was completely demolished The
locomotive was thrown from the track and par.
TALLY buried in sand bank, and the three for
ward cars of the train followed suit Had the cal
not been started from the side track until half an
hour later it would have been struck by the st
Louis express, which must inevitably have plunged
into the river and caused terrible loss of life
