-Mrs. Ellery ChamberlIn of staffOl

dence of Dr. Rafftery Monday evening, ran against the curbing, and the team was tipped so that the occupant was thrown out. She was slightly hurt about the shoulder. The carriage righted itself and the horse ran away. When the team reached Main street the headway was ter rife, and owing to the number of people and teams on the street 1t was evident that trouble would result. Near Kane's | restaurant the runaway cOllided with C. M. Eager's team, and a short distance farther down the horse freed himself from the carriage. When the horse was OppO- site Warren's block he fell and slid on his head and shoulders for some distance. Eager's horse was wounded in the breast, a thill was broken and the harness dam aged. Chamberlin's carriage and harness were nearly ruined, but the horse did not appear to be hurt. There was game of ball last Satur- day afternoon between teams representing the Warren Woolen Go. and the Central Woolen Co.,, the former winning by a score of 21 to 7. The Central WOOlen Go. team, not being satisfied with Satur- days game, will meet the employees of the Warren Woolen Go. again Aug. IF. No players will be used except those employ ed in the respective mills.

 The borough having concluded to wided portion of the business sidewalk, and also macadamize coI tain portion of road, wish to state that the expense which some have feared Is more in fear than reality. The present laws of the state are such that for every dollar ex- pended by the town it receives 8 dollar from the county, and also another from the state. That is, for $1, ,0OO expended by the town for roads it gets $3,O0O worth of road, of course. This means good roads. This is too good thing to be lost and it is to be hoped our town will avail itself of the offer, even though it be at quite an expense, for 8 good road we'll built, means road for many years, not path-wOrk, as we now have. A town meeting is called for next Monday, Aug. 18th, at 1 p. m. See advertisement. J. M. Leach is fast improving, and it is expected that he will return from the Hospital to his home next Saturday.
