ELDERLY LADY MEETS
WITH SERIOUS FALL
Mrs. Adrian Jacobson Fell Down
Cellar and Sustained a
Fractured Limb.

A serious accident happened last
on Tuesday afternoon of last week
to Mrs. Adrian jacobson of Irving.
She fell down cellar, breaking the
thighbone just above the knee.
She was alone in the house at the
time, but in spite Of the terrible
pain and the shock of the fall,
which must have been quite severe
as she is quite heavy, she managed
to drag herself up the stairs.
There, however, her strength failed
her, and she lay there for about an
hour before her husband came in.
Medical aid was summoned and it
was found that the fracture was q
bad one. Everything possible was
done to relieve the sufferer, but
still her sufferings are intense. II
is not thought that she sustained
any internal injuries, but at he1
age, 70 years. it will undoubtedl,
take a long time for her to recover

south side come close to the river, and
are higher than those on the other side,
so that they command them. The first
ford beyond Fredericksburg is Banks's
Ford, two and two-thirds miles above
Falmouth, and next to this is United
States Ford, eight and one-fourth miles
above Falmouth. Both of these were
so, commanded by the hills on the south
side as to be out of the question
The road across United States Ford
led directly into that dense and tangled
stretch of woodland which afterwards
attained Sanguinary celebrity as THE
Wilderness" The Wilderness was an
area of possibly 10000 acres lying on
high plateau which7had in Colonial days
been the site of the most extensive iron
works in the Colonies The plateau is
rich in iron ore, theFeJhad been furnaces
and foundries established there, the
country had been completely denuded of
its forest growth to furnish fuel for
these, and in addition. the soil had been
torn up for great distances in ore dig
gings. After the center of iron produc-
tion had gone elsewhere the mines, fur
naces and foundries were abandoned,
and the storms did wild work in in
creasing the ruggedness of the ground
made by the excavations of the ore min
erS.
Then a dense growth of scrub pines
brush wood. had sprung up to cover the
wounds and scars on the earth's bosom.
1t was a desolate and forbidding Jungle
penetrable only by winding and tortuous
paths. followed by the hunters and larg-
er wild animals. The people round
about rarely ventured in except on hunt
ing expeditions, and when their cattle
or hogs escaped to it they were given
up for lost.
The forest is bounded on the north
by the right bank of the Rapidan, then
by the Rappahannock after the two
streams join. On the west there is a
tolerably fertile valley watered by Will
derness Run. On the east there were
well-cuftivated farms, with wide fields
and comfortable dwelling houses. On
the south the contour of the land slopes
down to the Mattapony River.
Thru the southern portion of the Will
derness runs a broad, convenient high
wa from Orange Court House to Fred
ericksburg, called the Plank road. This
was a new road, and the old turnpike
ran nearly parallel to it. These enter
ing the Wilderness, after crossing Will
derness Run, draw constantly near to
each other until they meet upon a bar
rem plateau, where stands the Wilder
ness Church and the wayside inn called
Dowdalls Tavern. just after the old
turnpike crosses Wilderness Run there
is the old Wilderness Tavern, and two
and two-thirds miles farther south,
where the new or Plank road enters, is
Parker's Store, both places to become
very familiar to us hereafter.
After passing Dowdall,s the communi-
eating roads plunge down into a ravine,
ascend to the nights of Fairview, and
cross to the clearing. where stands the
Charlottesville House. At this point
the roads again divide, and emerge from
the forest some distance apart. The old
road crosses the creeks which run into
the Rappahannock, while the new runs

''It is with heartfelt satisfaction the
Commanding General announces TO the
army that the operations of the last
three days have determined that our
enemy must either ingloriousiy fly or
come out from behind his defenses and
give us battle on our own ground, where
certain destruction awaits him

and Twelfth Corps have been a success

eral."
II have Gen. Lees army in one hand
and Richmond in the other Hooker
exulantly shouted to the Generals he
found gathered around the Chancellor
House as he rode up to it and establish
ed his headquarters.
Alasi that Hooker should not act for
a few days more with something of the
splendid ability of the preceding days
He was now to fall far more quickly
than he had risen.
