CHESTER.
Lantern, March 8: Wednesday af-
ternoon at 2.30 there was serious
collision at the Southern depot, which
resulted in the tearing up of two cars
and the partial destruction of two 9TH
ers, but fortunately resulted in no loss
Of life. 1t seems that freight train No
63 was doing some switching on the
main line, when extra freight No. 476
bound north, steamed up the track
The engineer on No. 476 says that his
air brakes refused to work and that he
was unable to avert a collision. Most
of both crews jumped in time to avoid
the impending collision so that
when the crash came it could result
only in the destruction Of the rolling
stock The colored fireman on No. %
was not so fortunate as his fellows,
and he was severely injured. The de-
bris was soon removed from the track
but the cars damaged will require a
great deal of work before they can be
put back into service. ..... The follow
ing is the report of the mayors court
for the month of February, 1906:
Number arrests made, forty-three;
sent to public works, four; discharged
three; fines collected, $309.50. .... Mr.,
Joseph Lindsay had a close call at the
Southern depot Wednesday morning
While crossing the tracks in his wagon
he failed to notice that the l.. & G,
train was shifting and just as he had
almost passed in safety the train
struck the wagon, knocking off the
two rear wheels and otherwise dam
aging it, Mr.. Lindsay was unhurt as
we'll as the horse, but his experience
as well 1t might, served to make him
rather nervous for while. Mr.. John
S. Douglas, who had been visiting his
daughter, Mrs. w. F. Marion, went to
Fairfield yesterday, on hearing of the
death of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Hen
ry Brice. -. After long and vexatious
delay Landlord w. M. Nicholson is al

to the public. He is already entertain
ing a few guests and in few days ex-
poets to be ready to accommodate all
that come. 80. The following clipping
