 J. D. Armstrong came home from the excursion with badly cut hand. He was entering the surf for bath, and in scuf- fie with friends was thrown forward, his right hand striking on broken bottle, cutting 1t clear across and deeply. He was treated on the spot by Dr. Niohols, who found t necessary to take up three arteries and to sew sp tba wpand, which will disable Mir \ . for some time, and probably will always be to some extent disability. The emergency required treat ment without removal of the wet bathing suit, and Mr. A. has cold in consequence. He had fortunately taken an accident pol icy for the day at cost of % cents, which will secure him weekly stipend of $15 during his disability, not to exceed fifty two weeks.

The long waits were made en- durable by the general good spirits of the party, the music of the two excellent bands accompanying, of many vocalists, and the amusemement afforded by the bright eyed and happy children of the Sunday school. The delay was less annoying to the pas sengers than to the hundreds of friends who awaited in suspense at the home rail- way station. The party contained many of the best people of the borough, and the efforts of the committee were so exerted to promote pleasure and belittle any an- noyance that the recollection of the expe- rience, as whole, Is a plessant one to the partieipanta
