Our old friend, Eleazar Block, met
with a very serious accident the other
day from the effects of which he is
confined to his bed. Mr. and Mrs.
Block had started to town in a buggy,
driving a horse that has the reputa-
lion of being the klndest and most
Trustworthy animal in the country.
When coming down a long hill near
the Normal school, the horse, without
any visible cause, and without any
warning to the occupants of the buggy,
started to run, and Mr.. Block, in at
tempting to stop the runaway, pulled
him on to the uneven ground and the
buggy turned over, throwing both Mr..
and Mrs. Block out. Mrs. Block fell
on the old gentleman and was not
hurt except shaken up a little, but MIR
Block did not escape so well, he be-
ing badly bruised, both internally and
externally. The physicians say they
cannot tell yet how serious his injuries
are. They do not think any bones
are broken but fear that his internal
injuries are serious. We hope the
worst fears of the physicians may not
be realized, and that our old friend
will soon be himself again.

you begin to give this medicine the
better.

stolen Goods Recovered.

A boy found five silver spoons be-
hind a pile of cord wood near the
Planters Mills the other day. The
spoons were a part of the silverware
that was stolen from the residence of
E. F, Bloymer a few weeks ago. They
were returned to Mr.. Bloymer. The
theft who robbed Mr.. Bloymer's house
evidently crossed the river on the
ferry boat and while waiting for the
boat he accidently dropped the spoons
out of his bundle of plumber.

The Glove Contest.

For the past three weeks through the
medium of hand bills and Autographs
freely displayed, has been announced
the ten round glove contest between
Greenburg, of Peru, and Witsel of
Grovertown. The match as announced
took place at the opera house Tuesday
night Of this week. Before the event
of the evening took place, four round
contest between Walter Butcher and
Grant Harris, gave few points. The
contestants are half brothers.
In the ten round contest when time
was called and the opponents entered
the ring, it was conceded by those who
have an eye to this kind of pastime,
that Greenburg as far as appearance,
was CONSERVED was the best man phySi-
cally.
We are informed that the ten rounds
lasted forty minutes, and decided
in favor Of Greenburg, who it is said
gave his opponent every opportunity to
show his good points as boxer. Sher-
if Smith with two deputies, Marshal
Meyers and night Waterman Bennett,
we're present to interfere if anything
like prize fight took place, as had
been reported was to be the case.

Burbee's Farm Annual for 1895.
BY Order of Com.

Always fresh and original, Burpee' S
Farm Annual for 1895, is even better
than ever before. The cover is most ar

colors, it shows on the front an attrac-

SO fashionable, while on the rear is a
birds eye view of Fordhook Farm,
where many of Burpee's seeds are grown
and where there were conducted the
past season more than six thousand
trials of vegetables and flowers grown
from seed. This catalogue is really a
complete book on seeds, as it contains
Ia pages, besides several colored plates
and special circulars. The illustrations,
400 in number, are all true to nature,
being mostly engraved from photo
graphs, while the descriptions of both

Straining A Point.

For some time past the press through
out this section of the state have been
publishing notices in regard to the glove
contest that took place in the opera
house last Tuesday night. The result
was, that ere the story had made the
round, became an oItlll)ISpcize fight.
We are here to announce the whole al
legation untrue. The reports have, not
only caused the mayor of our city to be
severely criticised but the citizens of
our community at large, for allowing
such an exhibition of brutality.
To put to rest any controversy that
might arise in regard to our position,
we wish It to be distinctly understood
that we are opposed to prize fights in all
form, but there are other people in this
country who are American citizens, who
do believe in them, and it is their priv
ilege. Neither would the INDEPEND-
ENT give space in its columns to an
nounce a prize fight, and would use
ONOl. ihNollo III Cul pOnOl W suppress
such brutal exhibition,
Although we didnot attend this glove
contest, we have heard enough in re-
gard to the same from citizens who
we're there, to believe it was just as adj
vertised. If two young fellows IN our
city should put on a pair of boxing
gloves in one of our stores, which is fee
quently done, and spar ten or fifteen
minutes, comments detrimental to the
sport would not be heard. Again, if
we were compelled to witness a ten
round glove contest or game of foot
ball similar to some we have witness,
in which one player was crippled for
life and another to-day occupies quar-
tiers in an insane asylum, we would take
the glove contest.
1t is not the brutality in a sparing
match the intelligent and Conscientious
man object to, but the moral lesson so
prominently brought forth, by the as
sOciatiOns there assembled.

Memorial on the Death of Arthal
D. Senour.

To THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF
PLYMOUTH TENT, NO. 81, X. o. II. NJ.
The committee to whom was referred
the official announcement of the death
of Sir Knight Arthur ID. Senour respect
fully beg leave to report this memorial.
Hackneyed phrases of coincidence
never yet have given comfort in the
home of trouble and we are not going
to try their effect now.
Past Commander SenOur was man
whom to know was to love. Courteous
in his manner, refined and dignified in
his department, his suavity and kind
ness won the hearts and commanded the
respect OF all who approached him.
Although young in years when his
earthly garment was laid in the grave
we do not measure his worth in years
but in deeds which continue to live.
His history as X. .. II. NJ, is writ
ten in the journal of our Tent and his
memory will be cherished by us ALL
He became a member of Plymouth
Tent, No. q, X. o. II. M. at its organi-
cation in the year 1885, and ..continu-
