Last Thursday night about 10 o'clock
the barn belonging to VIM. Kilmer on
Vine street was discovered to be on fire
and would in all pro- liability have been
totally destroyed hadtne fire been given
five minutes more time. The fire caught
in coat that was hanging in the barn
and was so far advanced that the coat had
burned from the nail on which it hung
and had fallen to the floor. Prompt ac-
ton on the part of members of the family
saved the barn and the damage is small.
The origin of the fire is presumably a
case of matches and mice.

Stewarts Run, met with quite a seriou
accident at the depot on the West Sid
last Thursday. He had been to tow
with load of farm produce and was ol
his way home. While crossing the bridg
the horses got to kicking and became un
manageable and ran down the -ailroa
track throwing Mr.. Bradish out in fron
of the wagon. Two wheels of the WACO
passed over his legs as he lay across th
rails and it seems miraculous that bot
legs were not broken. AS it was NJ
Bradish was badly bruised about th
head and body and received such a shali
ing up as will lay him up for some tim
The horses were stopped in front of tf
depot after the wagon had been qui
badly demolished.
