uniformed, one from Boscobel carrying
torches, and one from Rchland Center,

of cxcursionis!s aud the city hardly
settled down quiet for Sunday.
Monday afternoon carriages were
taken to Potosi, where meeting was
addressed by District Attorney, j. w.
Murphy. In the evening Lancaster
had her farewell parade, torchlight
procession and fireworks, and an ad-
dress by w. +. Carter and J. G. Clark.

delicious repast was served at II O'Clock,
fun Astounding throughout the
entire evening. Tricks, such as going
down cellar backwards and running
around The house at midnight were in
dulged in by the young ladies. While
trying the latter trick the cellar way
was found to be filed with boys, who
were promptly shut in by the girls. The
boys, however, succeeded in escaping
by prying some loose boards off the
door. The colored part OF the company
gave q minstrel concert. The entire
company concluded the entertainment
by dancing the old fashioned Virginia
Reel. All were at their homes by
O'Clock.

DUB LOCAL EXCHANGES

Gal,na Gazette: Harry Sprins Ger,
The Illinois Central engineer. who
jumped from the LaSalle bridge Satur-
Gay morning to escape a collision, is
now lying in critical condition at La
Sale. The collision happened at the
north end of the bridge just before
the crash Springer jumped from his
cab expecting to strike on the sidewalk
on the bridge, but he missed his mark
aud went through the bridge timbers.
He fell the terrible distance of eighty
five feet and struck on the bank of the
river between two boulders. A differ
ence Of two feet either way would have
dashed bin TO pieces on The rocks. The
fireman, j. G. Jacobs, remained on the
engine and escaped with only shaking
up. After the collision the train hands
went below and picked Springer up.
He was taken to LaSalle and the
doctors say that they cant tell to day
whether he can recover or not. So far
it does not seem that any bones are
broken, but it is evident that Springer
has received internal injuries. Springer
resides at Amboy, is married man
and has been an engineer on the
Central for about twelve years.
