FIRE IN LIVONIA

About 1 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. SLINGERLAND, nightwatchman of Livonia
village, discovered fire in the bakery on Main street, and at once gave the
alarm. The building was owned by J. A. PIATT, and was occupied by Chapman &
Son, bakers. The elder member of the firm lived over his store. When he
awakened the rooms were so full of smoke that he and his wife made their
escape with difficulty. Efforts to save Mr. PIATT's house and barn and C. A.
MEACHUM'S carriage factory were successful. The bakery was entirely consumed.
Mr. PIATT and Chapman & Son were insured, the former for $1,000 and the
latter for $500. The fire is supposed to have started in the bakery
department. The bakery will be rebuilt at once.

Isaac Peters Thrown From a Caboose Window at Geneva

Isaac PETERS, of Lyons, a freight conductor on the Central-Hudson, met with a
painful accident in the Geneva yards yesterday morning. The freight had just
arrived from Lyons and was on its way through the yards at Geneva, when the
train broke in two. Conductor PETERS leaned out of the cupola window of the
caboose to see what had happened. The air brakes on the rear platform of the
train suddenly set, stopping the train instantly, and the conductor was
thrown headlong out of the window without any warning, landing heavily on the
tracks. One of the brakemen who saw Mr. PETERS fall went to his aid. Upon
examination it was found that he had broken two ribs and that his spine was
injured. He was taken to his home at Lyons.
