have been distributed for the evening
the noise made by rattling paper is
very annoying TO attentive listeners in

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.
Railroad Company Has Trouble at Mt
Pleasant Tuesday Morning.

[From Wednesdays Daily.l
Early yesterday morning a combs
nation of accidents occurred in the
Burlington yards at Mt Pleasant
causing considerable loss of money to
the railroad company When an en-
CINE was doing switching there the
trucks under one of the cars in long
string jumped the rails and the car
was thorwn into the side OF the coal
chute, causing considerable damage.
The wrecking crew was called from
Burlington, and after the necessary
repairs had been made and the car
been again set on the rails, one of the
wrecking crew entered the tool car
to put away some tools. His torch
set fire to the car, which, containing
much oil as it did, was very inflam-
able. The city fire department ex,
tinguished the blaze, but not until
considerable loss had been eXperienc
ed by the company. The car was TAX
en- back to Burlington, where it will
be rebuilt

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
"A CHANGING Axe Sewers Wealthy
$50 Farmers Toes

Birmingham, Nov 16.-Henry F..
Arson, wealthy farmer who recent
1y moved to this town, met with a
very severe accident while chopping
wood in the timber on the farm of R.
o. Sherrick. While engaged in cut
ting off stick his axe struck a stump
and, glancing sidewise, the keen
blade was driven into the right foot,
completely severing the second toe
and also cutting off the great toe ex-
cept for a shred of skin which held
it to the foot. The hemorrhage from
the wound was so profuse that Mr..
Arson had to bandage his limb above
the ankle, and mounting horse
which he unhitched from his wagon
rode about two miles to town, not
knowing that his toes had been cut
off until DR.. Norris, who dressed the
wound, removed his shoe. The great
toe was stitched on, and it is hoped
he may be so fortunate as to lose bui
one.
