sides she has been afflicted with rheu-
matism and erYsipelas; so her friends will
excuse seeming neglect regretted byno
one more than herself, who hope to-
hear from her soon.
sad but fortunate accident occurred
last Thursday morning. The Ocean
Wave" with twenty. one passengers, in
charge of Frank Greene Ct Johnson, left
this place at 8 a. m. for " aterville, to
attend the Christian Endeavor gather
ing at that place. The day was lovely
and happier party seldom join hands
for a good time than they. They ar
rived near their place of destination,
when descending Mound Hill near Wa
terville village, the pole strap broke,
letting the load onto the wheel horses,
breaking the leg of the off wheel horse,
leaving the precious load to the mercy
of three frantic horses without driver,
as Mr.. Greene had been thrown from his,
seat. The pole struck a tree by the
roadside which stopped the momentum
of the coach. For a moment things
were good deal mixed inside the coach.
There was no time for the ladies to get
to screaming. Several were bruised.
Following are the names of those in
jured Miss Annie Gilmore and Miss Has
kins, ankles injured Mrs. L. W. Bailey,
hurt all over Miss Evelyn Foss, badly
bruised. She was riding on top with
the, driver. She fell about 10 feet into a
tree top, which made her descent less
rapid than it otherwise would have
been had she had free space to the earth.
She came near losing her singing book
in her descent. She is staying at John
son with her sister at present. Prof.
Parrin fell between the seats and tainted.
No very serious harm befell him as
yet developed except to his collar bone
and there are some footprints on parts
of his body. His clothing was badly
torn in places. There is no blame at
tached to any one for the accident. Mr..
Greene did all that man could do under
the circumstances. He lost his horse
but not his reputation as a careful driver
of four horses, and a gentleman.
