ACCIDENT TO A LApY-There came

ACCIDENT TO A LADY-There came
near being fatal accident on Royal
street, near Wilkes, last night about 10
O'Clock. A train on the electric rail-
way from Riverside Park had reached
that intersection, and, as usual, had
come almost to stop in order that the
hagman could run ahead and examine
the tunnel and see if the way was clear.
Mrs. Ariminta Craven and Mr.. George
Johnston, who had accompanied her to
the park, started to slight from one of
the cars, when the train started ahead
rather suddenly and Mrs. Craven was
thrown to the ground. Her head flew
back toward the track and came within
an inch of going under the wheels. MIR.
Johnston tried to rescue her and partly
succeeded. She lay unconscious for
half an hour. A large knot formed on
the back of her head, where it came in
contact with the rail, and her arms
were badly cut and bruised. She was
carried to the residence of her sister
and medical aid was summoned. For
tuuately her injuries are not serious,
though she had a narrow escape from
death.

Something TO Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for
restoring the tired out nervous system
to healthy vigor is Electric Bitters.
This medicine is purely vegetable, acts
by giving tone to the nerve centres in
the stomach, gently stimulates the
Liver and Kidneys, and aids the organs
in throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
and aids digestion, and is pronunced by
those who have tried it as the yery
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
