A Serious Accident

Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) Semi-Weekly Eagle

Mr. George T. Williamson met with an accident on Saturday afternoon that threatened for the moment to result seriously. He was coming down Main Street hill at a fair rate of speed, bearing on his wheel a heavy pump. He wanted to turn into Mill Street, but several wagons were in his way. He turned around the fountain and attempted to get by on that side. Unfortunately, Charles Van Voorhis came along with a horse and wagon, and williamson, unable to stop, ran into the hydrant in order to avoid Van Voorhis. Williamson was knocked insensible and carried into Elbert Knapp's store, close by. He came to in a few minutes and, declining all offers of assistance, rode home, his eye being closed up and face otherwise injured. He relied on Christian Science treatment alone, and on Monday was able to point to this treatment with some pride, for he was again attending to his work.
