• Railway Accident at Forest
On Monday, the llth inst., as the
mail train due here at 2.18 was com-
ing in on the north siding and as it
drew near the crossing the pilot of the
engine struck Lena Marshall, a.daugh-
ter of Mn. Thos. Marshall, of the 4th line
of Warwick, formerly of Stephen, and
carried her on until the train stopped,
when she rolled off on the platform be-
tween the two tracks. An eys witness
says that Miss Marshall: was walking
along the track, and although the en-
gineer of the train blew the whistle
loudly, she did not appear to hear or
heed the warning. Mr. E. Mason,
made an effort to arouse her to a sense
of her danger, but it had the effect of
making her step into the centre of the
track instead of out of ie and the acei
dent followed. Had she been allowed
to remain walking outside the track
the engine would have struck her and
the effect would have been more serious.
When the trains passed out of the yard
Miss Marshall was carried into the
house of Mr. Cole and Dr. Ovens dress
ed her wounds and reports that there
were two cuts, one on the back of the
head and the other just behind the ear.
When Miss Marshall recovered consci-
ousness she did not know what had
happened her, until told of her narrow
escape from death

sion, the shaft of the second buggy
striking Mr. Strong's horse on the
breast, and penetrating the flash about

owner. The other horse or rig was
not injured, and none of the men ware
hurt,

home and a small amount of cash: She
said she had worked for Dr. Dewar, butt
was out of a situation and looking for
work. She did not want to go home,
as a step mother rales the roust there,
but there was no other course for her." ee
This is the unhappy girl who some
months ago was released on suspended
sentence by Judge Doyle. She has
now been committed for thirty days,
and may be sentenced to a long term
of imprisonment by His Honor.
Seaforth: On Friday evening of last
week, as Mr. J C. Clausen, one of Hen-
sall's most respected business men, was
returning home, and after passing the
railway track in this town, the electric
light ahead of him was shining so
brightly- in his face that he did not see
an approaching vehicle, and those in
it were, evidently in the same fix. As
a result, the two rigs came into collis-
sion. Mr. Clausen's horse went right
through the harness, and getting. freed
from the rig, drew Mr. Clausen over the
dashboard on to the road. He then let
go the reins, and the frightened animal
made off. The occupants of the other
buggy were not throefn out of the ve-
hicle. Mr. Clausen's. horse was caught
about Egrnondville,and was returnedle
its ownerewheu he got rigged up again
and got home without further mishap.
Binh buggies were more or less injured
but none of the occupants .were hurt.
011 A dark night it is particularly dan-
gerous driviug against the light of
one of these outside electric lamps, and
collisions of this kind on the outskirts
of the town haye been frequent.
Tuckersmith : Mr. James McIntosh,
of the Mill Road, Tuckersmith, met
with a somewhat serious and painful
accident on Monday last. Mr. McIn-
tosh and his man were engaged in
crushing grain, the man being feed-
ing the machine in the barn, and Mr.
McIntosh driving the horse power out-
side. Some colts comity:, up to bother
the horses, Mr. MeIntosbh stepped out
on an arm to drive them off. The sup-
port broke under his weight and he
slipped down, both his feet getting,
caught under the rim of the, machine.
Fortunately, he got hold of the line of
the horses and got them stopped. Had.
he not done so, both of his feet would
almost certainly have been taken
off, and he might have been killed.
As it was he was fast in the machine,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
he was extricated, his feet having to
be pulled out of the boots to get him
relieved. Both his feet were badly''cut
and the bones in the instep of one, and.
the outside ankle bone, were fractured.
The injuries, although painful, are not
considered dangerous, and although he
will likely be laid up for a long time,
bis medical attendant hopes that neither
of his feet will be permanently disabled,
