FELL IN a THRESHISG MACHINE.

A Horrible and Fatal Accident at Fish
Lake, LAGRANGE County.
The ten-year- son of Postma ster
John Charleston, of Fish Lake, fell
into threshing machine Wednesday
afternoon and had the flesh scraped
and torn from ole of his limbs expos
ing the bones from the hip TO the foot
and tearing cords and muscles from his
legs two feet In length.
The threshing was ABOUT completed
and the force of men were busily en-
gagged clearing up the debris, the engine
had been checked and the thresher was
working quite slowly, when the boy
stepped from the hay NOW window
onto the feed board of the machine to
satisfy his curiosity regarding the
mechanism of the thresher. To the
horror of the workmen be slipped and
fell feet foremost into the machine.
AS soon as possible the engine was
stopped and an attempt was made to
release the boy from his wedged posi-
ton. Strange to say the lad retained
consciousness and after one shrek of
agony remained perfectly composed
during the half hour required to re-
move him from the complicated mass.
The caps and boxing which support the
cylinder had to be removed before the
cylinder could be taken out which,
when the work was accomplished, re-
vealed one of the most heartrending
sights imagin able.

The excursion train out of Argos was
full hour behind advertised time,
nevertheless we were in Buffalo at an
earlier hour than we cared to be.
At Niagara falls we took a twenty
miles round trip by electric lines, the
grandest excursion in the world for the
same distance and time, so punctually
and quietly as to be unconscious of the
presence of a moving force, and after
ward visited the Niagara Falls Power
works, descending in a dungeon like
vertical railway or elevator TO the foot
of a water main which had doubtless
hundred and fifty feet fall for power
from the fore bay, driving immense
dynamos with steadiness and strength
irresistible and yet easily governsble.
Cars are propelled all about the city of
Buffalo by like power planted a.

Yesterday we took a rural electrical
round trip out from Syracuse to Man
Illus and Edwards falls twelve miles
away, through arbored avenues of Dor
derlng NAPLES, past pleasant hamlets,
green hills and wstered wales, a most
enchanting journey. Edwards falls
are near duplicate of the celebrated
Minnehahs, falling into gulf which is
much more than miniature of the
great Niagara gorge. There again was
the power house in the gulf, fed
through fourfoot pipe of boiler iron
reaching from the fore-bay at the top
of the bluff, power of ninety feet fall.
The large dynamo and power wheel
moved 80 silently that no motion was
discoverable to eve or ear until we
reached the door of the house into

We can now readily imagine the
electric line that soon must be from
Plymouth via Pretty lake to Msxen-
kuckee. around and back, may be, by
way of Argos. Evidently steam cars
of pOnderous capacity and calibre will
soon be reIegated to long distance
travelling, and neighborhoods will be
knit together with live wires for loco
motive intercommunicstion. But the
carriage ubiquitous for short distance
In every place is now the bicycle. 1t
goes without saying that the bicycle
has come to stay, and also to &C very
frequently, and locker into street
sees sometimes as many riders as
walkers wheeling in all directions.
The Plymouth dailies come with
newsy regularity as letters in volume
from home, so that when we return
next week, there will remain only the
very latest news to be told.
On the return trip from Manlius yes
terday noon, we sat in stalled electric
car by the wayside during hurricane
storm of wind and rain, which was
grand to behold from our glass sided
carriage Dead and alive limbs galore
were blown from trees, the water
washed mire and pebbles on the track,
tin roofs were lifted off from city build
ings, an immense plate glass window
was blown in to the destruction OF fine
fabrics, and incidentally two or three
persons were killed; but today the
world goes light along increasingly.
