The Seven Day Baptist church at
Uniondale has been an imposing fig
ure in tho Burdick settlement for
more than a half century. The Bur
dick fathers were wont to worship
there and they have long since passed
the way of tho world. The second
and third generations declined to
hold the peculiar faith of their fath
ers and the edifice was closed several
years ago except in case of funerals.
It was the closing that induced E. B.
Saunders, of Ashway, R. I who Is
secretary of the Seventh Day Baptist
Missionary society, to make use of
the material. A gang of men have
been at work the past week razing
it and getting It ready for trans
portation to New Era, N. J., where it
will bo rebuilt and used as a mission
chapel for Italians.
A sad accident occurred, Thursday,
to little Fred Howell, son of Herbert
Howell, of Gibson township. Ho
went to the field after a horse, when
he received Injuries resulting in his
death on Sunday. His absence was
noted by his mother and after an In
terim of nearly two hours, search
was instituted. He was found un
conscious with his head bleeding pro
fusely. He had been kicked by a
horse and had the frontal bone of
tho head literally crushed. Forest

A sad accident which drew forth
the sympathy of the community oc
curred on Thursday afternoon, be
tween live and six o'clock, when
Bruce, tho seven-year-old son of
Contractor and Mrs. E. A. Bloxham,
was instantly killed and John, tho
little son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony
zailer, nad His right leg broken.
These boys with several companions
were playing ball In tho road be
tween the Bloxham plant and the
Erie station. The two boys were
waiting their turn to bat and seat
ed themselves on a couple of planks
at the ibase of a pile of Cx4 plank.
Several other children were playing
on top of the lumber and It is pre
sumed that their movements unbal
anced the pile and three layers top
pled over onto the two boys un
derneath, completely burying them
from view. Wesley Budd ran to tell
Mrs. Bloxham, his mother, of the ac
cident and they with some neighbors
uncovered the little fellows and
found one dead and the other writh
ing in pain. One of tho heavy sticks
had 'fractured the skull of Bruce
Bloxham and death was undoubted
ly instantaneous.

These young pheasants were about
