Electric Struck by Tres..Llgd-
Grkranz Had Good Time.

BENJAMIN Reeves OF Summit street was
struck by a tree just above Crescent
Park while going TO that resort on a
trolley car Saturday evening. The car
was crowded and Reeves stood upon the
running board. Just before entering the
park grounds there is a tree which is
dangerously near the track Reeves
leaned out too far and struck his head
against. knocking his head hard enough
to disfigure his features considerably. but
fortunately escaping without serious in
! jury.
The car happened TO he moving slowly
| at the time and this without doubt was
| the reason why the accident was not more
| serious.
ENJOYED OUTING.
| Yesterday the Liederkranz came down
! from the city on the trolley cars and had
a very enjoyable outing. They went 10
one OF the cottages used as an annex to
| the Riverside hotel. where various amuse-
/ ments were enjoyed A special dinner
was served. to which the visiting excur-
/ sionists did ample justice. They went
| home early in the evening full of enjoy
ment and other good things
WHEEL COLLAPSED.

men were driving over Turner avenue i'm /

throwing the occupants OF the vehicle |
out. but not injuring them. except few

the driver retained his hold on the reins |
and the animal soon stopped.
Another wheel was procured and after !
some delay the outfit proceeded on it's
way.
PLENTY OF CRABS
Crabs are very plenty this year in local
waters and quite number OF good catch
es shave been made. They are large in
size and are unusually Fat" or full of
meat. They are also Of excellent flavor.
Every morning one or more parties are
out in boats after them.
Some are caught around the docks,
where at times they are seen in good
numbers cttngtng 10 the spttes, nut the
greater number is taken from Bullock's
cove. which seems to be their favorite
feeding ground in this vicinity.

crossing one OF the bridges when she
fell into the water. A bystander pulled
her out and she was carried to nearby
