west end of the trestle mentioned
when from some cause two freight
cars-one containing coke, the other
merchandise--left tine track and went
banging into the trestle, knocking out
about three bents. Into this place the
two cars went, and on one of the cars
was brakeman William McSweeney, of

and he was at once picked up and
speedily brought to town. He was
taken to DR.. McKim's office, still un-
conscious, and a thorough examina-
tlon was made. 1t was found that no
bones were broken, and the only hurt
that showed itself was a confusion
above the right eye. After the young
man had been in the doctors Office
about fifteen minutes he slowly. re-
covered consciousness, and wonder
ingly wanted to know what was the
matter Curiously, he seemed, after
all his fall and consequent hard bumps
to utter most complaint because of a
small splinter in a finger on his left
hand.

There Is no political significance,

of the pleasantest character, and there
is no doubt the governor will greatly

After looking after the business in

where there is a great field for autom-
