MARROW ESCAPES.
Some New York Soldiers Who Came Very
Near Being Killed.

Some New York Soldiers Who Came Very
Near Being Killed.
How near men can come to being kill
cd and yet escape unhurt is strikingly il
lustrated by DR.. Mowris in his History
of the One Hundred and Seventeenth
Regiment of New York Volunteers. "
The regiment was encamped not far from
the James river, and, as will be seen
from what follows, not far from tho
enemy:
There were some narrow escapes
among those who were off duty in camp.
One day solid shot, with unmannerly
rudeness, came bounding into camp,
passing through group of soldiers who
had just collected for their warm ra-
tions.
At the same instant it prostrated the
cook, demolished the mess kettle, and
irreverently baptized our best flag with
bean porridge. The cook proved to be
only temporarily killed" by the gravel
which the shot had thrown against him,
and was soon able to resume his work.
About the same time a sick soldier
was lying IN his tent, with his knapsack
for pillow. He was supposed to be
quite out of harms way, but a solid
shot, styled by the boys pickle from
it's resemblance in size and shape to q
cucumber, struck ne knapsack, and car
ried it clean away. The only inconven-
fence to the invalid was the loss of the
knapsack and the sudden letting down
of his head.
AS the pillow was scarcely thicker
literally hair-breath escape.-Youth's

"You find authors occasionally des-
pondent from continuous rejection of

"Yes. Once a poor fellow who had
pestered me with stories at the rate of a
hundred year for five years unsuccess-
full, came to me and said: This is my
last attempt If l fail this time I'll

''First rate. The best he'd done"
"And he was consoled ?"

Tire.

Near midnight last Friday fire was discov-
cred i'm the grocery store of w. A. Richard
son by the family living over the store. The
prompt action of the fire department confined
the fire to the buildings where 1t originated.
A considerable portion of the goods was
saved but i'm a damaged condition. $1,000
insurance was carried on the stock and fix
lures, and 5000 on the building. The stoo k
was valued at $1,000. The insurance viii
not cover half the loss on the goods. A
large stock of tobacco is nearly ruined by
water. The candy, sugar and soluble goods
areone solid mass. The stock was removed to
the Odd Fellows building, where 1t is being
sorted out, and will be sold as soon as the
insurance Is adjusted. A new stock of
goods will replace those burned, and BUSH
ness will be conducted i'm the Odd Fellows
store next to THE TIMES building. The
origin of the fire still remains in doubt The
barn i'm the rear of the building was appar,
emily set on fire, as the west end of the barn
was on fire before the end abutting the burn
ing store. This would tend to show that the
fire was incendiary. The Benedict biildI
ing adjoining, occupied by Berchard's res
taurant, was also completely Quilted.

The Boom to Continue.
A New Furniture Factory to Employ
$50 Men.
Electric Railway Electric Light.

The Common Council at its meeting Mon
day evening did itself credit, and no one
can be more willing to give the alderman
the honor due them than are the editors Of
THE TINES.
BY its action new era of prosperity Is
opened to Owoss0. Our healthy boom Is to
continue. Employment is assured to large
number of men for years to come.
The proposition made by ID. M. Estey
and friends to erect large furniture factory
was accepted by the council by unanimous
vote. The proposition made week before
was withdrawn, and the one appearing else
where In the proceedings was submitted.
The first proposition was discussed at length
at the Business Mems Association meeting,
Friday evening, and a vote showed 20 of the
members of the association favorable to
granting the aid and only four opposed.
The sentiment however seemed to be against
rebating the taxes, but in favor of giving a
small additional bonus. Acting upon this
idea Mr.. Estey asked for a bonus of So, 900
An increase of So, 900 and no rebate on
taxes.
The buildings to be erected are factory
S0x25O feet, three stories high besides base
ment, a dry house 33x120 feet, and an engine
and shavings house. The engine is to be
$50 horse power. All of the machinery will
be of the latest and most improved patterns,
enabling the new company to turn out goods
at as small cost as any firm In Michigan.
Work is to be commenced on the plant as
soon as the arrangements with the city are
completed and the site is decided upon.
We fully believe this institution will be
one of the best in our city. The capital
which Mr. Estey brings to Owosso after sew
eral months of hard work.
ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Mr. Hanes, representing Haines Bros,
of New York city, asked the council for a
franchise for an electric street railway from
Owosso to Corunna-a franchise having
been granted by the latter city. Mr.. Haines
stated that his firm had SO electric railways
in operation in different parts of the country
and were just finishing line between Ypsi-
lanti and Ann Arbor. Mr.. Haines agreed
to commence work with force of 800 men
within 10 days if the franchise was granted
After some discussion the matter was re-
ferred to committee consisting of Aid.
Robbins and Keyte and VIM. Fitzpatrick, to
draft an ordinance for the franchise. The
committee subsequently reported, and the
ordinance was read the first and second time
by its title. At the meeting next Monday
evening the council will probably pass the
ordinance. 1t is to be hoped that the coun-
Gil will insist upon the company placing its
lines ON one side of the streets, and in no
manner put the city to extra expense to
grade or widen any road. The plant of the
company should also be located in OwOsso.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The council also awarded the contract for
lighting the city to the Owosso Electric Co.
The company expects to have its plant in
readiness to start operations about Deem
