Charles Bryant, mate Of the barge H.
j. Webb, recently had an experience he
will long remember, says thu Detroit
Free Press. While crossing Lake Michi-
gan Bryant got over the side OF the bar %
to clean out one of the scuppers. He hid
line around his body, the end being
held by one of the mea on deck. While
in this position tie man allowed the line
to slip out of his hand, thus dropping
Bryant into the water. In a moment the
barge was past him. his only hope was
to swim until tho tow could be rounded
20. This took twenty-five minutes, and
as Bryant WAS dressed in thick clothes he
found it almost impossible TO keep him
self ahoat. but was picked up in an ex-
tremely exhau ted state.

Mrs. Zimmerman, only Is years old,
and bride of but two weeks, died at her
home in Detroit the other day. On her
wedding day, shortly after her marriage
the bride was taken so i'll that physician
was called in. Her mother said then that
the excitement incidental to that event
was the cause. The girl, however. grew
much worse, her left side became par
aiyzed, and she lost the power of speech.
Finally physicians were summoned. To
them the mother said that the girl had
hit herself upon the head with her fist
week previous to her wedding day. This
explanation did not look plausible, and
after persistent questioning the girls
mother at length acknowledged that her
daughter had had some trouble with an
other woman over some of the bridal
clothing and that the woman struck her
daughter. The daughter was unable to
speak, and the mother refuses to say who
the assailant was. Being assured that
the only thing that could save the girl
was to trephine the skull, the father and
mother refused to allow the operation to
be performed
