Ikey Leopold has been pretty Rensselaer and start a steam laundry.

The new Dunlap shape, in stiff hats at Ellis & Murrays. A bad and dangerous accident happened in Gillam tp.,last Saturday. A son of George S. Guild, about 18 or 19 years old, was trying to drive a loaded cartridge into a revolver, by hammering it with his knife handle, when the cartridge exploded and the empty copper shell was driven back* I wards, and struck the boy in the cheek, under the eye. A large jagged wound was made and, what is more dangerous, the shell could not be found by the physicians, being apparently, embedded in spme of the cavities in the bones of the cheek or eyes. This is a very serious matter, as if the shell is not found and removed it will undoubtedly generate poison in the boy’s system and soon cause his death.

J. F. Antrim went Monday to the -celebrated Keeley Institute, at Dwight, Httnoia in -the- hopes that the treatment there would cure him of his grevious affliction, the liquor habit. He was accompanied there by J. F. Irwin. The “institute” has grown to be an enormous affair, there being 600 or 700! patients there, all the time. The treatment is administered by medicine taken in the usual way, and by hyperdermic injections, 4 times a day, of a compound of which chloride of. gold is the chief constituent. The patients are under no physical re- ■ straint, and are even furnished with a liberal daily allowance of whiskey , as long as they want it, which is generally not long after the treatment begins. The treatment lasts three weeks, and costs S2O a week. It is said that 95 per cent, of all cases are cured.

The expected race betweeii Oshkosh and Al Robinson did not take" place last Thursday, owing to Mr. Robinson being taken sick; but to take its place a race was arranged between Oshkosh and Mel Makeeyer. The conditions were, a race of 175 yards, Oshkosh to have 15 feet the start and to receive $25 for running whether he lost or won. Makeever received only what he could get in bets, said to have been from 875 to I sloo. He took all bets offered, in I some cases giving odds of as high as sto 1. At the 100 yard mark Mai kcever overhauled the red gentleman, and easily maintained the lead the balance of the way. In fact Oshkosh , was clearly not in it. The race be- ! t ween Vic Yeoman and Ross Grant was easily won by the latter,-who gives promise of becoiping a very fast runner. An immense but very orderly and respectable ctowd witnessed the races, which took place on the track of the Rensselaer Stock Farm. Makeever is a great runner and, no doubt, could easily have beaten Oshkosh much worse than he he did. He is said to be the second best 100 yard sprinter in the country.
