WRECK ON THE ANN ARBoR.

What might under different circum-
stances have been most serious accl-
dent occurred early Wednesday morning
on the high fill just west of the new
railroad bridge. AS heavy loaded
freight was going south at this point,
the entire track, ties and rails together,
slid off to one side under the middle of
the train. Five cars, all loaded, jumped
the track, several of them rolling COM
pletely over. One car loaded with lum-
ber was carrying four or five hoboes
who performed impromptu aerialinvest-
igations at great height, alighting with
out injury in the soft ground at the foot
Of the fill.
The running of the trains was not
interfered with, as the Y in connection
with the ID. G Il. 81 w. is still in oper-
alton.
The accident was caused by wet
weather which rendered the narrow
clay bank slippery. The ballast will now
be improved and the fill widened to pre-
vent recurrence of a catastrophe which
would probably be more serious as the
cars thrown off the track on this occa-
sion happened to be directly between
the caboose and two cars loaded with
stock

The matter of a ward school was next
taken up. Supt. Ely stated that more
room was so badly needed that the boarc
had decided to remove the Kindergarten
to location more central and place Il
under the control Of the college Kinder
garten department. This was done
from economical motives as well as from
lack of room.
An additional teacher has been en-
gagged to relieve the present primary
teachers, thus adding help to that de
partment at no additional expense, a
the college would receive nothing excep
a room and materials for work.
A communication was read from tn

Former Alma Young Lady In New
Role.
Alma people who shuddered at the
thrilling escapades Of the Baldwin
brothers at Ithaca last week, little real
lied that they had been entertaining III
their midst for a long time the lady
assistant of the firm.
Miss Rosa Miller, we'll known as a
clerk in Benefits cafe during the past
spring, left recently to join the company
who were billed at Portland, for the
third of July.
Everything went well with Miss Mil
Ter and her partner on the upward trip,
but when the parachute was cut loose
the thousands were Mortified to see il
settle directly into the middle of the
Grand River. Prof. Baldwin got tC
shore with astounding facility, but Miss
Miller became tangled in some way in
the parachute and when rescued was
more dead than alive.
She was carried to house near by
where physicians worked over her fol
several hours before signs of life re-
turned.
Although Miss Miller was sufficiently
well recovered to be about, she did MOI
feel equal to the ascent at Ithaca, but II
is the hope of most Alma people to b'
able to see her in her favorite role at M
| distant date.
