The two year old child OF Mrs. Ida
Minner, of Wilmington, who is visiting
friends here, was seriously injured last
Sunday evening The child had strayed
into the road, and as several teams were
driven rapidly through the streets it was
struck in the forehead by one of the teams.
A wound several inches long was inflicted.
The occupants of the team did not even
stop to ascertain if any injuries were sus-
tanned, but drove rapidly on no doubt fear
ing arrest for racing on Sunday
While Mr. j Lord was driving a COW
from the pasture this week the COW became
unrulv and threw him violently on the side
walk His head struck a projecting piece
of board which bruised him badly
The steamer Frederick left Monday after
noon at O'Clock She was loaded with
sheer, calves and truck of all kinds, besides
forty passengers and twenty three hun
dred bass cts of peaches. some of which
brought as high as three dollars and ten cents
basket Unfortunately while entering
the bay the boat ran aground on the bank
opposite the mouth of the creek. All ef-
forts to move her were in vain and she was
compelled to lie there until Tuesday even
ing Some of the live stock was killed by
peaches falling on them, some of the fruit
was in poor condition for the market, and
it is rumored the loss to shippers will be
quite heavy. The passengers during the
delay were given meals free of charge
This unfortunate accident should not pre- /
vent persons from shipping as it may never
occur again. The tide was unusually high
and the utmost caution is necessary at
such times. Some one thoughtlessly lighted
a match just in front of the pilot house and |
for a few moments blinded the captain so
that he was unable to see how to properly |
steer the boat We are very sorry as this
is the first accident of the kind that has
happened 80
