WAGON SMASHED BY TRAIN.--For- apa the big Orangecelebration held n town on Monday passed off without pole but what might have been a very serious one was narrowly averted as some of the visiting brethren leaving town in the evening. The R. special with seven coaches had ak left for Guelph and was approaching the crossing at the Elma side-road when the heavy rain storm came on. At the same time Mr. Thos. Shearer's hired man was driving Mr, Shearer's team an 1D towards home and owing to the storm did not notice the train approaching, al- though engineer FairSblew the whistle. Before the train or team could be atop- ped the engine struck the wagon, shiat- tering it and throwing the box and hind wheels into the ditch, the front wheels being carried for some distance on the pilot. The man on the wagon, who was a young Englishman, had jumped in time to save himself, and most fortunate- ly the horses had'cleared the track just before the engine struck, and were cut clear of the wagon, and ran home none the worse for their narrow escape. rT) train lid not got up full speed, it being up grade, and this fact no doubt saved the team. It was a very close call. Krotz--DuGan.--A very pretty wed- ding was celebrated July 8th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. Krotz, when their daughter Lena was married to Mr. Jobn Dugan of Los Angeles, Cal. The ceremony was performed on@@ he lawn under an arch of evergreen and flowers, Rev. Grenzenbach officiating. The wedding march was played by Miss Bertha Krotz. The bride, who was given away by her father, was ygowned ina sequel robe over cream taffeta, with flowing veil caught with orange blos- soms, and carried a yuet of bridal roses. She was -- by Miss E. Walter, gowned in } brocaded mull, trimmed with embectdared chiffon, and carried a boquet of pink roses. The little flower girl, Una Krotz, wore a protty dress of white silk. The groom was supported by Mr. J. W. Ellsworth, of Rochester, N. Y. Many beautifuland useful presents attested to the poplar. ity of the bride, and includ ac from her father. The gift from the groom to the bride was a handsome gold watch : to the bridesmaid a handsome gold locket ; to the little flower girla very pretty ring; to the best man a manicure set, and to the organist a handsome bracelet. The bride's travel- ling suit was navy blue taffeta, with hat to match.

FIRE BRIGADE CALLED Ovt Twice. --Just when the two ends of the Orange procession on Monday were meeting at the corner of Main and Wallace streets, encircling the twelve blocks between Maim and Penelope and Wallace and Victoria streets, and when the streets were jammed with people, a fire alarm was sounded, and the Fire Brigade had to make its way with the hose reel through ae ds, which it fortunate. ut accident or injury, The cause of the alarm was a burning rub- bish heap atthe rear of a Bay -- tended a ot four little nieces; Misses. Dorothy. -one who was much residence. ~On Tuesday night about { o'clock another alarm was sent in, an the Brigade was given a run to the G. T. R. station, only to find that a bonfire had been made of the arch and decora- tions at the station hotel. Someone had evidently sent in the alarm as a hoax, and Chief Wilson and the members of the Brigade would like to locate the individual, who, if found, will be prose- cuted, as he deserves to be.

Great audiences have assembled on the old historic camp grounds during the past twenty years, but never in the tery of the camp have such crowds hered there as on Jast Sunday.

Monday was 4 veritable red-letter day in the history of the Order, and the cel- atestian held here w was one which did conservatively estimated ' 16,000 « people, not the least tatothicnne or acci- dent occurred, and a bet behaved or more respectable gathering could not be wished for. The town was decorated as it seldom has been before, the arches, streamers, ete., erected by the committee of man. agement, being ed by the citizens, nearly all the busi- ness places, residences and grounds be- ing adorned with flags, evergreens and colors, the scene along the principal streets presenting a most pleasing and picturesque sight. The near-by- lodges began to arrive early, and the morning trains from Kin- cardine and Southampton brought large contingents of Orangemen and visitors. The Lucknow pipers' came with the first train, and did excellent nig ~ the reception band during the day. 32nd Regiment band of W hewn. = rived with the Centre Bruce lodges, and the Mount Forest brass band accom- panied the South Grey and West Wel- lington Orangemen, who arrived by the special trains from Durham and Guelph.

The Metho- dist, English and Presbyterian churches supplied about 8,000 people with meals, and although the task was @ strenuous one for the ladies, they have the satis- faction of having received good returns, besides keeping many of the visitors from going hungry Shortly after 1 o'clock the lodges be- gan to move along: Main street east to- -- the town park, where the differ- nt Counties formed into line. It took nearly an hour to get the fifty lodges, many of them from 40 to 70 strong, into order for marching, County Master Jos- epb Walker and County Director of Ceremunics Wm.
