FIRE and COLLISION.
A Barn at West Falmouth Station
Burned.
TWO WHEELMEN COME TOGETHER
WITH TERRIFIC FORCE.

One Going To, the Other Returning from
the Fire-Both Knocked from Their
SaddIes--One Wheel Demolished--
Lucky Escape from Serious Injury.
About $50 O'Clock last evening the
people of MorrilI's Corner were excited
by the spectacle of big blaze towards
the northeast. 1t looked as if some large
building was on fire near Aliens Corner.
Several young men started out on their
bicycles. They found that the blaze
was far beyond Aliens, and after riding
through Frost's woods could see that it
was over in Falmouth, several miles
distant.
The hose company at Morrill's was
deceived as to the distance, and drove
ont to Aliens, and kept on beyond. In
little while they met young man
named Tibbeuts. He was standing in
the road with a broken bicycle. He
said that he was at Aliens Corner when
the Fire first became visible, and rode
towards it. He kept on, and finally ar
rived at West Falmouth station, about
three miles distant. There the large
barn of Mr.. Dearborn. near the station,
was burning. 1t was full of hay and
made big blaze. The house was saved,
however. He did not learn the loss nor
insurance, nor the cause.
He started to return, and rode fast,
as bicyclers generally do in the night.
He was flying silently along in the dark
ness, with his head bent down, at the
rate of about ten miles an hour. When
about mile beyond Aliens Corner he
suddenly stopped. His head had struck
something. and sshe was hurled sback-
| ward into the road, half stunned. When
| he gathered himself together he found
| that similar operation was not posi-
| BILE in regard to the bicycle. Another
wheelman named Reed, of Aliens Cor
| n er, was riding out to the fire, and with
similar silence and swiftness. They came
| together in the darkness. The shock
was terrific. Tibbetts's head struck
| Reed full in the breast, and fairly
| knocked the breath out of him. Both
wheeImen we're hurled from their sad
| dies into the road The front wheel Of
Tibbetts's bicycle struck the frame Of
| Reeds, and with such tremendous force
that the rim was bent halfway into the
hub, and the spokes were all bent and
many broken Reeds bicycle escaped
any serious injury That the two mer
should have escaped without brok

to the fact that Tihbetts's head struck

1t was also lucky for Tibbtts that tn,

TWO ACCIDENTS.
A Courageous Boy-nIrs. Roberts Thrown
Out

Yesterday noon, as the Congress
street car was passing Oak street, a car
riage, driven by young boy, came rap
idly out of that street and turning too
sharp to avoid the car, tipped over,
throwing the boy out fiat on his face.
But he held on to the reins long enough
for man to run and stop the horse and
avert runaway. Nothing was hurt,
not even the carriage.
Night before last, whilesDr. Roberts of
Oakdale and wife were driving near
Deering, the horse ran away, and Mrs.
Roberts was thrown over the dasher,

The publication of reports of anarchist
