RUNAWAY ACCIDENT PROVED SERIOUS

Barkley Minister and His Sister Each Suffered Injuries When Horse Ran Away.

Rev. Charles Petty, pastor of the Barkley church, and his sister, Mra Jessie L. Snow, of Kokomo, who has been assisting him in a revival meeting, had 1 a bad runaway accident this Saturday morning and each received injuries of a more or less serious nature. They were coming to Rensselaer, where Mrs. Snow was to take the 11:20 train for her home and when three-quarters of a mile west of the Church three boys and two dogs in the road frightened the horse and one off tihe dogs, a white bulldog, lunged' at the horse and followed it when it started to run. The animal tore west to the corner just south of Jud Adams’s farm residence and made a wide turn at the corner, almost pulling the buggy into the wire fence. TJhe 'buggy was tipped over at this point and Rev. Petty and Mrs. Snow were thrown out and the buggy quite completely dmolished. Mr. Adams and others came to their assistance and Rev. Petty seemed to have his right shoulder dislocated, while Mrs. Snow suffered what she heflieved to be a fracture of her right wrist and alSo bruiseis about the face. She secured transportation and came on to Rensselaer and caught the 11:20 train for her home and will have her injuries examined there. Sunday is quarterly,, meeting at the Barkley church an^Rev. Petty will scarcely be able t 6 be in attendance. The revival meetings at the church have been progressing with increasing interest and a number of conversions are reported.

BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS ON WASHINGTON STREET

Turned On Friday Night and lllumination All That Could Be Desired—City Looks Fine.

The beautiful boulevard lighting system has been completed all except three lights at the bridge, the installation of which has been 'delayed: thee a use the poles were broken in shipping. The lights were turned on Friday night, ail except a few in front of the court house and tonight and in the future all will be, turned on. The effect is even more beautiful than had been expected and Rensselaei, by the adoption of this system of lights, has taken another advanced step that should make it a greater attraction for trade and a greater delight to our home people. The ornamental Novalux lighting unit, which is the one used here, has just been placed on the market by the General Electric Company and is the very latest style of lighting unit used for ornamental street lighting purposes. It

’combines beauty, grace and simplicity, qualities the most desirable foir proper street lighting. The city is very fortunate at this time not to have installed a system previously, as we are now in a position to get many advantages in thi9 very latest and most up-to-date ornamental lighting system. The poles were designed by the art commissioner of the city of Baltimore, Md., and are used by that city. They are called the Baltimore pole and the illustration herewith shows therm just as they are. In connection with the single uhit used here it may be interesting to know that something like 15,000 are now being installed in the principal cities of the country and the very fine distribution erf light, that is, the even amount on both,street and sidewalk, as well as the lighting which is given the front of the buildings makes it the most desirable from ail points o f vielw: Our system will give us at least double the amount of light obtained by the same amount of power in the ordinary cluster system and without the disadvantage of a great deal of glassware down the street which is hard to keep clean and also hard to secure tfie operation of all lights at ali times. The system wo have is the very finest we have in the vieinity and we will probably have delegations fiom surrounding cities who will wish to inispelet it. Each lighting unit is complete with a 600-candle power nitrogen Mazda lamp and we will obtain more than 19,000 candle power of beautiful bright light on our streets. The above statement descriptive of the system was very kindly prepared by C. S. Chamberlin, superintendent of the light and water system.
