Fortunately the automobile. which illI

people in the vicinity said that was

bags and other traps, Anderson being
on route for New York at the. time. He
had gotten off the turnpike and was go-
ing down South Main street, under
the impression that the main road ran
in that. direction.
Mrs. Riley had Just stopped from
the curb of the sidewalk under the
bridge and was going to the Whelpley
dc Clark corner when she was struck
and thrown aside. Joseph Mulvlhlll.
who was close by. picked her up. Joe
says his heart went up in his throat.

He also declared the driver did not

he should have. Mrs. ltlloy appeared

The Golden Wedding. produced last
evening in lnckwood‘a Hall by the
Doorkeepers' Circle of King's Qaugh
tern, was certainly one of the best
amateur performances ever given in
that ball. Every seat was taken in
bath the galleries and in the orchestra
and all were very well pleased with the
performances. All those who took part
were attired in the southern costumes
and were made up as colored people.
Each pardon in the show did excellent
ly and deserves great credit. The lo
cal hits upon the physicians and others
about the town. given in the Wood-
ward and Baldwin dialogue. were es-
pecially clever.
The prize waits by Miss belts
Crauipton and Kenneth Vernam was
also excellently done. The Misses Car
