BROKE THROUGH THE ICE.
A Young Man lias an Unpleasant ti
perience While Skating.
The cold weather of the past few
days has frozen over the "ponds in the
vicinity and the young people have
taken advantage of this to enjoy some
skating. Rivenburg's pond was the
favorite resort. Thursday the lite on the
pond was not very thick but in the
morning was strong enough to holt)
the skaters. It was somewhat soft
ened by afternoon and one young man,
Myron Hockenberry, had the misfor
tune to fall through the Ice.
The water at this place was not over
his head so with the help of several
other persons he was pulled out. The
water came up to his ears and had the
accident happened nearer the dam it
might have ended fatally.
RESORT TO THE LAW.
To What Poor District Do the Reynolds
Tamil? Belong.
There has been some trouble between
the poor directors of Clifford and those
f the poor district of Canaan. Yester
day an attempt was made to settle the
case by law and testimony was taken
by Alderman S. S. Jones. The case
which caused the dispute is that of the
Reynolds family, who were located In
this city for some time. They were
quite destitute and Hip directors are
trying to decide who should care for
them.
The Clifford directors claim that the
Canaan authorities had the family re
moved to that place. When It was
found they were destitute they ob
tained an order for their removal again
to Canaan.

had been in vogue with the old company.
The Pullman company. It Is said by
District Passenger A;unt Secly, of Kl
niiia, N. Y was r.otilied on November
that unless the comnany desired to
rim its catr. over the Kile linos without
ehaiging mileage their use would be
dincont lulled. It is reported thut th?
Pullman eomnany was given forty-eight
hours to decide whether or not to ac
cept the proposition. In the meunllme
a sleeping car company was unfilled to
have fifty rtira ready for instant use.
Kifoic the forty-eight hours hnd ex
pired the Pulmitn company Is said to
have accepted the situation.
Advance figures furnished by the
Railway Age, of Chicago, show that the
