ran about ten pole lengths before the engineer stopped it and the passengers in the ears behind were shaken up somewhat. The train arrived in Bluffton about midnight. A number | of traveling men and others who were passengers told rather exaggerated stories in Bluffton last evening.—Bluffton News. Q_ , BEET HOUSE BLOCKS CAR.

It was carted | to its location by being placed on two wagons, side by side, and w’hen on Second street, at the Monroe street crossing, the 10 o’clock car came along. The house blocked the way, and as it was much easier and quicker for the interurban to return to the switch at the station and wait until he house passed this point, than for the house to turn out and let the interurban car pass, the car ran back and waited a few minutes. o PLANTS HAVE ARRIVED.
