MIR. C. w. Horr is under good
deal of obligation to that hard shower
Monday, which made one soft place in
Wellington for man to be thrown out
upon. Almost any other conditions
than just what they actually were
would have been likely to have given
him a serious shock or fatal injury. 1t
was a very fortunate and close escape.
The usual Fourth of July lawn fete
was given by the ladies Of the Disciple
Church, on Monday evening. The IL
Illuminated park, thronged with happy
citizens, presented an attractive scene.
These annual festivals are admirably
managed by these excellent ladies, AMI
the patronage they received does the
village credit. The receipts on Mon
day evening exceeded $50.
The subscription to the Wheeling
& Lake Erie Railroad has been pushed
vigorously and ut this writing amounts
to between s29, 900 and $50, 900. There
is in addition about $4,000, conditional
subscriptions which will likely be made
available. A meeting will be held
Wednesday evening, after We 60 to
press, snd a strong effort made TO close
the matter up. We sincerely hope this
road this time will be made a success.

for their new building designed for
preserving fruit and dairy products
in fresh condition any length OF
time. The trees in the park near the
depot are being removed to give place
to the structure, which will be one OF
IS feet front and 20 feet deep, with
walls feet in thickness. 1t will be a
real acquisition to the business interests
of Wellington, such as hardly town in
Ohio can boast Of.

a narrow escape, on Monday. Will

took fright at passing train, ant
springing suddenly, broke one Of tn
hOld-back straps, letting the buggy ruI
onto the horse at every effort to restrain
him, very much increasing his frigh
and soon making him entirely unman
ageable. He ran northeast to Taylo
street, following 1t to Barker, then +
Mechanic street, and was fiLal,,
caught near Mr.. Cushions livery stable
Mr.. Horr was thrown out just as tn
horse turned into Taylor street, Will
trying to avoid passing team, the bug
gy running on two wheels for som
distance, but righting up when the hors
turned again into the road. Mr.. Hor
made near acquaintance with the ditcl
and his clothing was very well plas
tered, but further than q tcmporar,
shock he was uninjured. No damage t
either horse or buggy. To those VIII
witnessed the runaway it seemed re
markable that horse, buggy and drive
were not all aud altogether demolished
