ACCIDENTS.

The past week has been lively one
for runaways, each day furnishing at
least one Sunday a team driven by
T. Rickaby was overturned just op-
posite the CALIFORNIAN Office. The
horse dashed down the avenue and
as it turned at the Avenue House
brushed up against Druggist Bag
ley's plate glass windows, the sleigh
marking the glass but not breaking
it. lust after the team passed Mr..
Bagley's store it struck a post and
the sleigh was smashed into kindling
wood. Had the runaway occurred
on another day, the result might
have been very serious.
Mrs. H. Laird of North Danville
was thrown from her sleigh on Rail
road street Monday by an accident
which let the shafts of the sleigh up
on the horse She was badly
bruised and the sleigh was smashed.
Rev. H. M Douglas had narrow
escape Tuesday afternoon. His
sleigh was struck by the afternoon
express at the last crossing in Sum
merville and Mr.. Douglas found him
self after the accident in a snow bank.
Whether he was thrown there or
whether he jumped out he does not
remember. Just as he reached the
crossing the horse began to back
and the train could not be stopped
in time Mr.. Douglas and his horse
were not injured, but little was left
! OF the sleigh.

Wanted to Go Where She Was.

Frank Byington, a young man about
% years old, son of Ephraim Bying-
ton, committed suicide last Sunday
morning by taking strychnine. The
Sunday night before, his sweetheart,
Miss Laura Cunningham, committed
suicide in the same manner, shortly
after returning home from church with
him, an account of which was publish
ed in the Times last week. Frank
stayed Saturday night at his brother
Sans in Marion township. Sunday
morning he was out on the premises
with some of the family, and returning
to the house sat down by the fire. He
complained of not feeling we'll, and his
brother told him to lie down on the
bed. which he did. In reply to some
questions he told his brother he had
taken a dose of strychnine, saying, Il
want to go where she is" He told his
brother to send for his father and
mother, who lived short distance
from Sans, but he was unconscious
when they arrived there and died
few minutes afterwards. If there was
any misunderstanding between these
two young people that impelled them
to take their own lives, it is not known,
as neither of them confded their trou-
bles to any one before committing the
rash acts which have brought such
deep sorrow to two families. es.-F'arna

Ousy on her part), and a father-n-law, the pa
ternal relative OF the wife, Mr.. and Mrs
Thornton ana MIR. Randolph are the only char

withal Is a neat one. Mr.. and Mrs. Thornton
have quarreled and separated, but there yet
