KENSINGToN'S NEW OFFICERS.

The bowling league team of the Jersey
City Athletic Club has struck not
pace. If they keep it up the champion
ship question will be speedily settled and
the other entries will be distanced in the
race.
On Friday night the team at practice
put up total of 1,746, and it was thought
that it was not likely that this score
would be beaten by the team for long
time. 1t is no longer the best record.
The team continued their grand work at
their practice last night and they beat
the score of the previous night by twelve
pins.
The average for the two games was

Willie is about 40 years old, and is little
eccentric. He lives in a tenant house in

from his labors. According to LeBlanc's
testimony, Willie carries on as though he
was the sole occupant of the house, and

frain from his excessive lung exercise. He
paid no attention to the request, and hence
his arrest on the charge OF disturbing the
peace.

Terrible Accident to Gus WEIGH, Young
Man of Dixon.
On Tuesday Gus WEIGH, young black
smith of Dixon, came to this city on
business, and yesterday morning took the
overland train for home. The train had
not gone far before WEIGH fell asleep, and
he did not awake until the train pulled out
of Dixon. He started up, asked where he
was, and on being informed that Dixon was
just passed, picked up what luggage he had
and rushed out to the platform of the car.
A brakeman saw him and cautioned him
against jumping, as the train was rolling
along under good Roadway, but the excited
man paid no attention to the warning, and
sprang to the ground.
He struck in such a manner that ne
was thrown backward, his right leg
crossing the rail, and the wheels of the
car passed over it, totally severing it from
the body. Surgical assistance was at once
summoned, and it was found necessary to
amputate the leg below the knee. The in
jured man was doing as well as could be
expected at last accounts.
