COLUMBIA NEWS.
REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE

Event, Along tho susquehanna-Items Of
lnrerest In and Aronnd the Borough
Picked mp by the InteIi-
snTvo box cars and a coal dump of east
bound G. u. local freight were thrown
from the track at Ch;ques yesterday, at
$3.50 y. m. The accident was caused by
the sudden opening of a defective switch.
The Columbia wreckers replaced the cars
on the rails, and tho train had just started
again when the same switch opened the
second time and wrecked the same cars
The wreckers were then obliged to repeat
their operations. A number of accidents
have of late occurred on this railroad,
caused by defective switches.
The building Of the new Reading &
Columbia railroad depot is icing rapidly
pushed forward. A number of door and
window frames of the first story are
already in position and the brick work is
slowly creeping up around them. Other
building operations are also going on in
various parts of town.
Isaiah Dea.ny, extra brakeman OF a
freight train which was being made up in
the west yards last night, had the thumb
and fingers of his right hand crushed
between the bull ll.noses while effecting
the coupling of two cars. He resides on
I'd street.
False Alarm.
The firenen were called out bv another
false alarm OF fire last evening. The alar m
originated in the blowing of a Reading &
Columbia railroad engine, which was acci.
dentally done while the engine was blow
ing off steam. A slight ripple of excite
ment was caused By the event. Almos
anything would have caused excitemen
last evening, for there was nothing of iI.
tercst transpiring.
The COlOred Population.
A large crowd Of participants and spec
tators attended the colored peoples cake
walk in the armory last night. A neat
sum Of money was realized by the church
which gave it. the African Baptist. Geo.
Formap, OF Wrightsville, and John Smells,
of Columbia, with their partners, carried
off the hOnorS OF tho first and second
walks.
Mrs. Urias Ho'singer, co!ored, was COM
mlttcd by squire Young to the county
prison for IL days this morning On CON-
plant of her husband, who accused her of
drunk and disorderly coaduct.
Tho borough budget.
Tho body which a number of persons
saw being carried up street late last night
still had symptoms Of life about it at last
reports. Superabundance Of whisky
caused tho iaathliss stupor.
About tho fist of June the IrOnville
hand will open fair in that place. At
their last one they roaliz I'd q large sum of
money. The baud is one Of the best in
the county and deserves to be we'll sup
ported.
