narrow escape from a serious accident
last Friday while pitching iu the yard.
He fell from the top of a box-car and

few days, though he expects to go to
work again next week.
Meredith's new town building is
completed and is being fitted out with
suitable furniture. It is a neatly constructed and commodious little building, with a pleasant ante-room off the j
front end on either side of the main
entrance, whilo the hall proper is large
enough for all emergencies, well lighted, a fine hardwood floor and the ceiling good and high, while a 12-ft stage
is erected off the rear end. A large
number of chairs are ordered and it is
proposed td use the hall for theatrical
pvirposes if required. Tho new build-
iug is the pride of the entire populace
and many a pleasant evening's entertainment is anticipated therein during
the coming winter.
Mrs. Wm. Parrish aud Mrs. Jacob
Mason were in Saginaw Wednesday, on
their way home from a couple of days'
visit at Flint. Late iii the afternoon
they boarded a Washington avenue
electric car at Genesee street for the
F. & P. M. depot, to catch the train
home. The cm- was the last one down
before train time and being a little late
was running -quite fast. When about
half way to the depot a man driving a
largo black team, drawing a load of
stone attempted to cross the track ahead
of the street car. The motorneer saw
the danger and tried to avoid the collision, but too late. The car struck
the hind end of the wagon, jumped the
track and stopped out on the side ofthe
streot. The wagon was demolished but
luckily the car kept right side up and
the passengers escaped without injury,
though all were thoroughly frightened.

place when he alighted from the train.
Mrs. Foster, who has been visiting with,
her parents in Vernon township for the
past two or three mouths will probably
return to Ohio with her husband.
