THE Mansion House under the ener-
getic management of .'mine host Bel
lows is taking unto itself new life. The
house since passing into Mr. Bellows
hands, has undergone many changes of
interior arrangements all tending to-
wards added comfort to the weary guest
New woven wire spring beds topped with
soft wool and hair mattresses invite the
tired traveller to luxurious repose,
from which he arises refreshed and in
good humor with himself and all the
world. The table is in keeping with
the other appointments of the house and is
run as only Bellows knows how. Taken
all together this well known hotel will
be found welcome oasis in the weary
round that usually greets the travelling
public. Neatness, comfort, prompt at
tention and table loaded with all that
the market affords, are points particular
ly noticed by guests, and will, before
long, make this home-like inn an espec-
ial favorite with the strangers within the
city gates.

Collision on the Narrow Gauge.
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION THAT TWO
TRAINS GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
CANNOT PASS ON THE SAME TRACK.


As the WoOdman passenger was com
ing east Monday morning it was run in
to by wild train going west. The col
lision occurred just as the passenger
had left Werley. and but short dis
lance from that station. From what
can be learned of the affair it seems
that the wild train had gone on as
far as Fennimore early in the morning
and was ordered to return to Werley
and meet the passenger. Here comes
in conflicting statements. The engin-
eer, Flynn, and conductor, Leahy, of
the colliding train claim to have re-
ceived orders to make Werley and meet
the passenger there. 1t is reported that
the engineer demurred on the ground
that the time, twenty-three minutes, was
insufficient, but the order was repeated
more emphatically, and the wild
started on what came near being a
death-trip to all. The first intimation
either train had of the approach of the
other was, when rounding curve, the
'wild' train was discovered but few
hundred feet away. Both engines called
shrilly for brakes, but before they could
be applied the shock and crash had
come. But one person was hurt, Greg,
the brakeman on the passenger. Greg,
faithful as ever, sprang to his post at
the call for brakes and was doing his
best to lessen the great momentum when
the finale came. He was damned against
the railing in such y manner as to
wrench the knee cap badly and sustained
other slight injuries. The two engines
were badly wrecked and some of the
cars damaged. The wreck was cleared
away as soon as possible and trains
were running regularly Wednesday.
Among the passengers on the train,
were several Lancaster people, Post
master Burr and wife being included in
the list. Tho former was in the mail
car at the time of the collision and suf-
fered for some time with bruised knee
caused by being thrown violently
against the car. Captain Vaughan,
the genial route agent, also suffered
from confused head. The engineers
and firemen jumped from their engines
and thus escaped being crushed.
As soon as possible teams were Sc
cured and the passengers, together with
the mails, were forwarded to Fenni-
more, from which point they came to
Lancaster ON the afternoon train. The
wounded brakeman was placed in the
coach and made as comfortable as pos
sible. Fortunately there is a down
grade from a short distance below Wer-
ley to within few miles of Woodman,
and the coach was given a start after
which its own momentum carried it to
"Connelly's Cut" and from thence
hand-car was secured to run to Wood
man, and kilograms We're sent for
surgeon to Boscobel.
This collision, which might have
been much more serious, clearly demon
strates that seventeen minutes is entire
ly too short time in which to run from
Fennimore to Werley in the face of a
passenger train.

HARVEST HOME was celebrated with
the usual service, at Emanuel church
last Sunday morning. The interior of
the church was very neatly decorated
with grain, fruits and flowers, and pre-
scented handsome appearance. The
service was of more than usual impress
siveness owing to the fact that the Rev.
Lewis Cloak, who has ofliciatod as pas
tor during the year past, at this service
delivered his farewell sermon. Mr..
Cloak took occasion to speak with a just
pride of the prompt manner in which
all promises in the way of subscriptions
had been met leaving not one cent of
indebtedness either here or at Montfort
in the way of pastoral dues Rev. Mr.

Hudson, where he accepts the rectorship
of St Mary parish and also acts as
