One day recently, travelling man lind
ing one of the depots IN this city locked and
being obliged to remain outside while wait
ing, was heard to remark Il have the say of
what roads a considerable number of care
loads are sent over in the course of year

economical to keep its waiting rooms open
ed and warmed will not get much of my
patronage in the future.
What is too often true in OwOssO was
doubly so at the Congregational church on
Wednesday evening, viz, a splendid concert
far above the usual run-and very small
audience. While it is doubtless true that there
are far too many entertainments, yet when
strictly first-class company like the Mehan
Quartette appear they should be greeted by
packed house. No one can crticise sim
gle number on the program. The singing
delighted the entire audience, as was evil
denced by the hearty applause and the dis
like to leave after the last number.
The T. 81 A. road at Corunna, a few blocks
this side of the depot, was the scene of a
collision between two freights last Friday
evening. Both engines were badly injured
and two cars and one of the tenders were
completely wrecked. No one was injured,
the crews of both engines saving themselves
by jumping, and the wreck was cleared from
the track the same evening. The cause of
the collision was some mistake i'm the orders
and an investigation will'prObably be held
tonight or tomorrow. The loss was about
$1,000.
Sunday afternoon about $50 o'clock fire
was discovered i'm the living room of e. Ii.
Webb over his meat market i'm the Geo.
Thomas block on west Main st. The fire
evidently had been burning for some time,
as the smoke became so dense as to fill the
rooms and escape into the adjoining build
ing driving s. Clark and family out of their
rooms over Spragues drug store. Very soon
after the alarm was sounded our fire depart
ment responded and as quickly as possible
stream of water was being thrown. The
fire seemed to be i'm the rear end of the
building, making it impossible TO reach it
from the front. A second hose was laid to
the rear Of the building, followed very soon
by the third. Large holes were chopped
through the roof of the building and then
the fremen were able to gain on the flames,
entirely distinguishing them i'm about three
quarters of an hour. The situation of the
property made it extremely difficult To work
to any advantage The DimmjclS building
