THE MAPLE STREET ACCIDENT
Saturday's Third Edition of the Union the particulars of a fatal accident at
the Maple street crossing of the Central railroad were given; George GUNTHER,
fifty-one years of age, and who was a resident of Lockport was attempting to
cross the track in front of a freight train, and received a warning from the
flagman, when he retraced his steps and was struck by the locomotive drawing
the accommodation train west. He was picked up and taken into Stei_er's
saloon, where every attention was paid him, but he died in a few minutes. Dr.
Jonas JONES and Coroner HARDER were called. They found that the unfortunate
man's ribs were broken and his head injured. It was ascertained that deceased
had a wife residing in Lockport, and word was sent to her, but up to this
morning she had not been found. The body will be kept as long as possible
awaiting her arrival when it will be given interment.
It has now been ascertained that the deceased did not
reside either at Lockport or Albion and it is also claimed that the name of
deceased was not GUNTHER. The body will be interred this afternoon.

SUDDEN DEATH
William W_IDOWSON, sixty-eight years of age, died suddenly last evening at
his residence in North Union street of apoplexy. He had been out with a son
during the evening visiting friends, and on his return made no complaint of
illness, but on the contrary, said that he was feeling better than for some
months before. He was a machinist and had a shop in Water street. He was a
good citizen and much respected. Coroner MORRISON made inquiry into the
case, and receiving the opinion from Dr. BOARDMAN that death was the result
of apoplexy, did not deem an inquest necessary.

SERIOUS FALL
Saturday afternoon Carlton N. BENJAMIN, Assistant Superintendent of the
Truant House, was informed by a little boy that a girl had fallen over the
bank of the river nearly in the rear of the House. Mr. BENJAMIN also heard
the cries of the girl, and, with assistance, he started to her relief. To
reach the river edge he had to take a circuitous route, and it was ten or
fifteen minutes before he reached her. She was found to be badly bruised,
but no bones were broken, nor were her injuries serious ones. She was taken
to the Truant House and given such attention as she needed and then taken to
the residence of her parents in Thomas st. She was ten years of age, and had
gone to the river bank for evergreens. While stooping over at the top of the
bank some mischievous lad gave her a push and she rolled to the bottom or
river's edge, a distance of about eighty feet. It is strange that she was
not killed. Her name is Hannah MUNZER.

a New York house, was found yesterday near Rivers' sash factory, Warehouse
