As will be seen below, Mrs. Mar
cia (Robinson) Skinner died this
morning from the effects of paraly-
sis. About two years since she re-
ceived very severe shock OF that
terrible disease from which she rallied
to be in comfortable, though sad
condition, for some months. She was
visited again yesterday with second
attack and survived but few hours.
She was a most estimable woman In
all respects.
Death is no new fact; we expect it,
still when it comes, we find in it sorrow
exceeding expectations. Our community
suffers a loss in the death of Mrs. DR.. Il.

nearly two years. sickness. A friend to
the poor and helper to the needy; one
with kind word for all one loved by all;
a Christian in practice, not theory alone.
She mertted the position held in our midst.
We symyathize, we miss and mourn, but
we know she has gone ''home," and would
not call her back from s'heavenly rest"

be held at DIR. SINNERS residence, We'd

There was very narrow escape
from O serious railroad accident at
this place some evenings since. A
freight train which passed here some
minutes ahead of second one, while
attempting to draw two carloads of
stone from the O. & G. mill Cos.
track to the summit lost hold of the
cars by the breaking of draw-bar.
AS the grade was steep the two cars
Immediately began to run down the
grade at quite a speed; the brake
man undertook to apply his brakes,
but for some reason neither of them
would work. Seeing that his cars
must collide with the arroaching train,
he jumped his cars and ran back to
the engine. The engine at once
started on after the "wild'' cars,
screaming and hooting with al
the power of his whistle. AS
good luck wonld have it, the ap.
preaching train ran in on the siding

cars came laundering down at 6
