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.
