The negro driver of the carriage wae thrown out and considerably bruised and the carriage w;;s badly broken, but otherwls ? no damage was done. The horses broke lose when the accident occurred and returned to the stables. Mr. Ryttenberg has stated that | he was running along slowly at the time that the accident took place near the right side of the street. There was no light on the carriage I and he did not see it until he was very .; close to it. Had he been running with any speed it is probable that the accident would have been mere seri? ous. The negro Rubber Rose, was thrown out and dragged for some distance. It was stated that he had his hip badly sprained and was bruised. but not seriously in? jured. If was also learned that at the time that the accident took place Mr. Ryttenberg was running with only one small kerosine light burn? ing. It seems that the negro was turn? ing around after allowing his passen? gers to alight and In this way hap? pened to be on the wrong side of the street. The accident occurred on Church street in front of Mr. Hol? lands residence. Reception Tucec.ay Kvening. Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. John S.

Pre? viously to the arrival of the express wagon which conveyed the linen chest, original romances with the prospective bride and groom as hero and heroine were read by the guests, which were presented to the bride-to be for her comparison with the facts in the case. Amid the applause of the reading the door was opeaed, ushering in Master Detmar RhaVne, who dressed as an express agent, pulled his wagon alongside Miss Tennant, delivering to her a dim' ! tive "Saratoga," which contai; many beautiful and useful gifts, delightful salad course was serv after which the time-honored ciftt of drinking the bride-to-be's heal was followed, and quite a number appropriate and well rendered toa were made.

The bird tolls away until its mound is about 15 feet high, the circumfer? ence at the base being often 150 feet. At the apex the nest is made, and from this perch the bird is able to see the approach of any one of its jun? gle foes in time to take defensive measures.
