Several Accidents James Kaylor, residing at No. 1305 1/2 Ninth avenue, employed as a blacksmith in the upper shops, was accidentally struck between the eyes Thursday by a sledge and in consequence his forehead was very severely bruised. His hurts were dressed by the company physician. On Wednesday while making secure the pulleys, etc., of a new bolt machine being erected in the lower shops George Gilbert, residing at No. 413 Second avenue, had two wounds made in his scalp and also had his left hand badly contused by the breaking of a beam to which the pulleys were attached. Those who have been working at this new machine will have reason to remember it for the second accident occurred yesterday of which it was the cause. While Harry Folk, foreman of the blacksmiths, was working at it Thursday he had his left arm badly bruised. ------------- Hainey-Burns Thursday evening at half-past 8 o'clock Mr. John Rainey and Miss Adda Burns were married at the residence of the bride's parents on Fourth avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets. the ceremony was performed in the presence of a small company of friends by Rev. M. J. Firey, pastor of the First Lutheran church, of which church the contracting parties were members. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom and the assembled guests seated themselves before a magnificent repast, which included all the delicacies as well as the substantials of the season. The groom is the son of Mr. J. F. Rainey, of 1104 Thirteenth avenue, and the bride is the daughter of Mr. David Burns. Both are worthy young people, and deserve all the good luck and prosperity which their friends wish them. ------------------------------------ An Unknown Italian Hurt The Altoona hospital has another patient in the person of an unknown Italian who was hurt on Thursday at the Madara branch of the Tyrone and Clearfield railroad, which extends from Madara to Pine Run. How the accident occurred is unknown, but the Italian had his left arm broken in two places between the elbow and wrist, and was also hurt in his right side and right leg. He has only been in America three months, and has not yet mastered the intricacies of the English language. He is receiving all necessary attention at the hospital. -------------------------------------------------- Painfully Burned The residence of Mr. Frank Tomlinson and family is at the corner of Seventh avenue and Sixteenth street. On Monday morning at half-past 5 o'clock Mrs. Tomlinson was descending to the first floor of the building from her bedroom and while in the act of blowing out the light the lamp in her hands exploded. The burning oil was thrown over her clothing and in consequence her left arm was severely burned and her body also suffered from the flames. Hearing her screams her husband hastened to her rescue and by hastily throwing some carpet over the flames were smothered and further injury avoided. Dr. John T. Christy was summoned and did all in his power to alleviate her sufferings. Her injuries will confine her to her bed for several days. Yesterday she was resting comfortably. Her escape from far more serious hurts was providential. ----------------------------------------------------------- The New Officers of the Equitable At the annual meeting of the Equitable loan and building association, held last evening, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, A.
