    3. HBH 1890 July 15 CHAPMAN Hastings Hastings Correspondent The numerous friends of Mrs CHAPMAN will regret to learn that she met with a serious accident about 5 o'clock last Saturday evening. It seems that she was driving a buggy along the Railway road near Sanders road when her horse shied at a little girl on horseback, and turning on to the railway crossing capsized the vehicle. Mrs CHAPMAN was thrown hear foremost on to the railway, and lay insensible across the rails. Fortunately there was no train passing at the time, although one passed about three minutes afterwards. A girl who saw the accident ran to Mrs SANDER;s house and gave the alarm, and Mrs CHAPMAN was taken there and kept an hour, when she was removed to her own residence. There she was attended by Dr FAULKNER, who found she was suffering from concussion of the brain. I am happy to state that she is now going on as well as could be expected after so severe a shock. The only other occupant of the buggy was a little child, who escaped uninjured.
