A Ford automobile driven by Maurice Altland, of York, and occupied by Mrs. William Denues and two daughters and small son, all of York, and-Mrs. Herbert S. Weiker't, of near town, collided with a large touring car driven by Wilmer Hayes and occupied by Mr.

and Mrs. George Karris, all of McConnelsburg. Fulton county. The collision occurred about 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, on Lincoln Way, East, in front of the home of Mrs. Jacob Myers.

As a result of the accident, Mrs. Weikert received a severe cut behind her left ear and young Denues was cut about the lips; all the other occupants escaped "with a shaking up and a scare. The heavy car of Mr. Harris, who is president of the Fulton County Bank, emerged with fenders and cap bent; but the Ford had its hood badly damaged, lamps twisted and engine disabled for several hours. The Ford rounded the Livingston corner from the left and the driver seeing the closely approaching Harris car became slightly confused and in the mix-up the collision occurred.

Driver Hayes retained presence of mind and skillfully avoided a greater compact by guiding his car at a sharp angle onto the pavement, at the Methodist church. Both cars were running slowly at the time the accident occurred. Serious Accident Narrowly Averted. Careful driving of his Stoddard-Dayton runabout across the tracks of the Western Maryland Railroad on Hanover street, about 6:30 o'clock on Thursday evening, probably saved Bert Wentz, his wife and child, of Hanover, from serious, if not fatal, injuries. When the car struck the first protruding rail of the track the spindle broke at the hub of the right front wheel.

Fortunately, the wheel in some manner got wedged under the car and prevented the latter from spilling suddenly. The machine continued to move thus for about 50 feet, coming to a stop in the gutter in front of the home of Pius Smith, the occupants entirely escaping Upon examination the spindle was found to have been defective, and it is fortunate the accident occurred as it did. The railroad crossing on Hanover street is badly in need of repair, and the Council should see to it that the place be put into proper condition at once. Bicyclist Struck by Automobile While riding his bicycle near the Clear View schoolhouse about 1 o'clock on Friday afternoon, Charles Straley, the young son of Mr. and Mrs.

L. V. Straley, of Carlisle street, was struck from the rear by the Stanley steamer of C. T. Hersh, proprietor of the Eagle Hotel, and thrown to the ground between the fore wheels of the automobile.

Both vehicles were going away from town; young Straley, it seems, was in the act of crossing from the well beaten left side to the right side of the road on hearing the approaching machine, while Mr. Hersh evidently thot the boy would remain on the left side. It was a simple mistake, and no blame can be attached. Young Straley received a few minor bruises and abrasions upon'his limbs, fortunately escaping being struck by wheel of the machine. Both were riding slowly at the time.

The bicycle was badly bent and broken. Motorcyclist Injured. On his first trip on a motorcycle, which he had just purchased on Saturday, Murray Remsburg, of Gettysburg, was thrown heavily to the road near Abbottstown while riding from York to ia tne afternoon, and he suffered a deep cut and an ugly bruise over the eye. The cause of the accident was the turning of the front wheel by loose stones on the road. Remsburg pluckily picked himself up, found that the wheel was not badly damaged, and resumed his trip.

In this place the injured man stopped at the home of a physician who rendered preliminary attention, and he then continued on to Gettysburg where his injuries were treated further. Needie in Heel. William, the 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W.

J. Miller, of Hanover street, met with a painful mishap on Thursday. The mother sent the lad up town on an errand, and as he was passing over one of the grass plots in Center Square, barefooted, he tread upon a needle which penetrated the fleshy part of the heel of his right foot to the depth of one inch. The child was taken to the office of a local physician where the needle was extracted, and the wound given proper attention. Fishhook Imbedded in Finger.

While fishing with hook and line in the Conewago creek one day last week, the 10-year-old son of Mrs. Ella Bowers, of near the Seven Hundred school-house, had the misfortune to have the hook imbed itself in the index fipger of his right hand in handling the line. The hook imbedded itself deeply, making a very painful injury. A local surgeon cut out the piece of steel and treated the wounded member, which is now healing rapidly. A horse belonging to David Cluck, of Gettysburg, was found dying from a bullet wound above the eye, on Monday evening about 5 o'clock, on the old fair grounds, where the animal was in pasture.

The horse had to be killed. He was valued at $200. The wound is thought to have been inflicted by some boys who were celebrating the Fourth of July in that vicinity, and were seen during the afternoon. Woman and Babe Sleep on Road. Leaving Adams County, where she had formerly been an inmate of the Alms House, and seeking her husband near Lci- dighs Station to ask him for support for herself and her 14 mouths old babe, Mrs.

Paul L. Smith was turned away by the man and forced to sleep all night along a country road, the child wrapped in some clothing to protect it from the weather. The case first came to public attention on Thursday afternoon in Carlisle when Mrs. Smith appeared before Judge Sadler to prefer charges against her husband for nonsupport. The woman and child are now inmates of the Cumberland County Home.

The court sentenced Smith to pay his wife the sum of $2 per week and enter recognizance in the sum of S100. Smith could not give recognizance and he was placed in the custody of Sheriff Greenwood. The wife stated subsequent to the hearing that she had no near relatives to whom to go after her husband deserted her, so she was compelled to go to the county home. The case has a number of particularly sad aspects. Mrs.

Smith was born at the Adams County Home about 20 years ago. She grew to girlhood as an inmate of that institution and later was placed in the care of various well-to-do families about the county. Some time ago she was married to Smith. Her child was born on May 12, 1914 and for a time the husband and wife lived together. Later they separated and the wonian again sought refuge at the Home.

She lived there until December 23rd. 1914, when she again left. There was no money to provide the necessaries for the child and it was once more placed in the hands of Steward Shecly. It was finally decided to put the infant in a suitable home, but the mother objected and begged so strenuously for her child that it was given into her care. This was about three months ago.

Mrs. Smith stayed about this county until the early part of last week whon she started for Leidighs, a little village in Cumberland county to request of her husband support. She found him but he refused to support either her or her child according to the story. The night of that day she and her baby slept on a public road. The next day she walked to Carlisle leaving the nfant in the care of a woman at a farm louse.

She made information against her msband and Officer McCoj- took her back to the place where she left her child. He then arrested Smith and the wife and child were committed to the Cumberland Coun- Home. Bohemians Move to Littlestown. The population of Germany township was increased last week by 40 men, some with families. They are Bohemians and were brought there from Baltimore by B.

H. Shriver canners of vegetables, for the purpose of picking the beans grown on the Shriver farms--the Littlestown farm of 32 acres, and the Brown farm, 3 miles south of that town, of 25 acres. In addition to these 57 acres a number of farmers have planted beans, making a total crop of 110 acres which canning company will handle. The Shriver Co. erected a large 'Bunk House' in a grove on their Littlestown farm to accommodate these people.

It is a 2-story structure, 80x18 feet. The upper rooms are for the men and the lower room is divided into compartments for the women and children. Porches wide extend the entire length of both sides of the building, on which are the dining tables. The pjospects for a large been crop are not so good, hence 40 men were brought there instead of the 75 originally planned for. Injured In Driving Accident.

Miss Mary Pfeffer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Pfeffer, of Gettysburg, received painful cuts about her head on Saturday evening, when thrown from a buggy in which she and Frank Haruer were driving.

The accident occurred on the Emrnitsburg road, near Gettysburg. Edgar Bollinger and Andrew Bigham, occupying a single team, approached them at a rapid gait. The two young men are said to have been racing. Mr. Harner drew his team to the right side of the road to allow them to pass, but the wheels of the Bigham's team struck his buggy.

The front wheel was broken and the left hind wheel was demolished. Miss Pfcffer was thrown from the vehicle and sustained a number of cuts and bruises, while Mr. Harner was unhurt. Burned by Firecracker. Thinking a firecracker, which his brother, Ivan, had lighted a little while previous, had gone ouz, Cyril Riekrode, little son of Mr.

and Mrs. J. F. Eickrode, of Hanover street, picked it up iind preceded to examine it. But the firecracker had not gone out, and suddenly sizzing forth, its fire struck the boy upon the upper lip and outside and inside his nostrils, inflicting severe painful burns thereto.

Home remedies were applied to the injury, which gave the boy relief, and caused it to heal. The station house of the Western Maryland railroad at Ridge Summit was broken into early on Thursday morning and five trunks and two suitcases were opened and their contents abstactcd, while two other trunks were rnmmaged and contents cattered over the floor.
