Two Bad Runaways.

Last Sunday afternoon, while
returning home from a visit to a
sick relative, Mrs. Fl l. Connor
and her sister in >law, Mrs. j B
Connor, with two children each
were thrown from their buggy,
near the Springs Industrial Hall,
aud every one of them moro or
less hurt but none seriously. The
injuries of the two ladies and of
one of the little boys of Mr.. j b
Connor were very painful but
after some attention from DR.. Nj
z Crawford, they were able to
be taken on to their home about
mile East of town. Their mule
became frightend at little dog
running out in the road barking
at it and hence the runaway. The
buggy was totally demolished.
On Monday afternoon, about
the same spot the mule of Mr..
Gam Watson, of the Creek neigh
borhood, became frightened at
some bicycles passing and ran off,
throwing Mr.. Watson from his
wagon and causing bad fracture
of the collar bone-the ends of the
bone protruding through the skin.
The wound was dressed by tn.
Drs. Crawford and Mr.. Watson

Big Supply Business.

Yorkville is in luck again from
business standpoint. Informa-
ton secured within the past few
days goes to further back up the
predictions that were made in The
Enquirer when Messrs j Nj Heath
& CO. bought out the Ganson Dry
Goods company last spring.
At the time of the purchase,
the plans of Messrs. Heath & Co.
included the ultimate establish
ment of a large supply business;
but at the time the deal occurred,
it was two late in the season to
arrange for the trade of the cur
rent year, and there was nothing
else to do but wait. Now, how
ever, the fall season is approach
ing, and Messrs Heath & Co. pro,
poss to be ready for it.
As the result of recent deal,
Messrs Heath q Co. now have the
control of the big store room next
door to them, at present occupied
by Mr.. w Adickes, and into this
room they propose to place big
stock of groceries, hardware, bag
ging and ties and plantation sup,
plies of every description. Th ey
expect to be open for business
not later than the 18th of Sep,
tember, and possibly by the first
day of that month.

DECISION IN TRUSTEES CASE.

Yesterday Judge Hill of the Municipal
court rendered decision Of considerable
Importance in its bearing on the practice
Of assigning wages to avoid trustee pro-
cess. Sometime ago Margaret NJ. Sylyes-
ter trusteed the wages OF Michael j. Nc
Donoueh, an emDloye Of the Falmouth
hotel, who at once assigned his wages TO
his brother, Patrick. The trustee process
was continued and Patrick MoDonough
came before the Municipal court with a
claim for his brothers wages. Hearing
was held Tuesday with W. III. Looney
appearing for the claimant and James A..
Comedian for Mrs, Sylvester. AR. Con-
nsllan claimed the assignment was
fraudulentiy made with a view OF avoid
ing debt, and the court, after considera-
ton, took this view, giving Mrs. Syivss-
tsr Judgment for her claim.
