ark, Del between two teams-one sleigh
drawn by rather leet-footed horse belong
ing to a Mr.. Edmondson and wagon at
tached toa slow and ancient plodder owned
by Levi Fisher. 1t appears that the first
named team was racing with another turn
out, and when opposite the college, Ed
mondson ran into Fishers team, which was
trying to get out of the way by driving to
the side of the road. Eimoudson WAS going
at a rapid pace, and the shaft of his sleigh
ran right into the breast of Fishers horse
penetrating it to the depth OF almost a foot.
the horse at once fell over and in short
time died, partly from loss of blood. This

pointed by tie board of trade To go to New
York to look after the interests of the town
in securing the industry, has returned and
states that the firm that has been correspou-

financial English syndicate that il DESTROYS
of locating plant for the manufacture of
silk textile goods. Mr.. Nicholson came
home with the assurance that the factory
would be located in the town provided the
required number OF laborers could be pro
cured, which is about 800 girls and young
women and 200 men. The work is light
and there will probably be no trouble to
secure enough labOrers, accordingly the
board of trade has advertised for them. The
syndicate has bought the machinery which
is on its way across the ocean. The officers
had decided to locate in a Pennsylvania

York before they had made any agreement.
