Quite a serious accident befel two driving parties and a bicyclist on the down river road one evening last week. G W Slipp and Geo Saunders were in one team. Lemuel Vanwart and Mrs. Dr. Camber in another. A youth named Smith was on the bicycle. Jusy how the accident occurred does not seem clear, but at all events, the horse driven by Mr. Saunders probably frightened at the bicycle, became unmanageable. The team locked in with that driven by Mr. Vanwart and there was a general wreck, in which the bicyclist participated. Mr. Saunders and Mrs. Camber were both badly bruised in the upset which ensued. Mr Vanwart was shaken up and young Smith had his wheel demolished. It was a narrow escape from even a more serious accident.

Sad Death of William Adams
On Monday last, about noon, the body of William Adams was found at the edge of Bulmer's Pond, three miles from Sackville, and had been dead but a short time. The pockets contained between $3 and $4 in change and a bottle of medicine put up for epileptic fits by a Fredericton druggist. He was probably on his way from Dorchester to Sackville when attacked with epileptic fits, and when found he was lying in a few feet of water.
Mr. Adams belonged to Woodstock. In conversation with a PRESS man about two months ago, he said the fits were attacking him more frequently than formerly, and showing his left hand where his little finger was gone and the other figures disfigured he said the injury was caused by falling on a hot stove during one of these attacks. He was disccouraged over the prospect and felt he could not be cured.
Mr Adams was a laborer and was employed chiefly in Carleton and Aroostook counties. He was about 40 years of age.

Dr. Frank S. Milbury
In Dr. Frank Stephen Milbury, who died at his home in Brooklyn, Wednesday, August 29th, after an illness of about three days, New York, has lost one of the many New Brunswickers who have attained distinction in the American metropolis. It is interesting that a number of these have been physicians. Dr. Milbury had attained the first rank in his chosen department ( diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat ); his Uncle, Dr. Giberson, who died twenty-one years ago, was conceded to be the leading physician and surgeon of Brooklyn, was been in Carleton County, and Dr Joseph Howe, who died on ship-board several years ago returning from Europe, was from the Miramichi district, and stood second to no New Yorker in some of the most important branches of surgery and medicine.
Dr Milbury was the son of Seth and Hannah Giberson Milbury, and was born at Florenceville, Carleton County, New Brunswick, November 28th, 1856.
When four years old of age his left leg was paralyzed, the result of illness, which resulted in permanent serious lameness. This discouraging misfortune, however, merely served as a spur to his mental energies, and such was his will that he did not allow his lameness to prevent his leading an active life, or making the ascent of Popocatapetl, Vesuvius, and other difficult mountains.
Frank took the regular common school course at Florenceville and Wicklow, whither his family had removed. At school he was noted for determination and persistence rather than for brilliance.
He decided to study dentistry, and did so, at Baltimore, where he graduated. Part of his expenses were defraved by teaching. After receiving his diploma, he practiced for several years in Sydney N. S., and in the city of Mexico. His broad intellectual energy, however, demanded a wider field, and, having frugally saved a comfortable sum, he concluded to take a full course in medicine and surgery, which he did at Cincinnati, graduating with high honors. Then he went to Vienna, the world's greatest school of medicine, where he made a specialty of diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat.
Hard study and close confinement impaired his health so that professors ordered a rest. He made a tour through Hungary, Servia, Bulgaria, Roumania, Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, the Grecian Archipelago, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and back to the Austrian capital, with health fully restored. He especially enjoyed his visit to Jerusalem, the River Jordon and the Dead Sea; and his collection of Palestine, Egyptian and Mexican photographs and curios was extensive.
Travelling costs money and Dr Milbury had about exhausted his savings. But with courage and resolution that characterized his entire life, he started out, not doubting that he would safely carry through his adventure. At Smyrna, in Asia Minor, he found himself completely without funds. He "put up his shingle" cleared seventeen hundred dollars in three months, and resumed his travels. At Alexandria, Egypt, had once more run empty, again he hung out his sign, and in a few months had made enough to complete his journey and reach Vienna with a handsome surplus.
After graduating at Vienna, Dr Milbury studied in the hospitals and clinics of Berlin, Stuttgart, Paris, London and Edinburgh.
About ten years ago he returned to America, and resolved to settle in Brooklyn, although his professional friends assured him that Brooklyn was so crowded with doctors that he could not possibly make a living. But he had conquered "impossibilities" before, and difficulties sharpened his courage. He opened an office, at once entered upon a lucrative, high-class practice, and in a few years that intervened before his death he had risen to the first rank in his profession in Brooklyn, Dr. Milbury made a second trip to Europe for the express purpose of investigating Dr. Koch's reported discovery of a cure for consumption by inoculation.
In 1893, Dr Milbury married a highly accomplished German lady Miss Anna Schoeps of Breslau, who made his home a delightful social resort. Mrs. Milbury was in Europe at the time of her husband's death, having sailed less than a month before. She is now on the ocean on her way back. Her brother George M Schoeps, with a number of eminent Brooklyn and New York physicians, was in constant and devoted attenence on Dr. Milbury, hardly leaving his bedside during the entire illness.
Dr Milbury was Ophthologist and Laryngologist to Bedford Dispensary and Hospital, which he was largely instrumental in founding, and was on the staff of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital. He was a member of the American Medical Association, New York State Medical Association, Long Island Medical Society, Physicians Mutual Aid Association, New York Academy of Medicine, the Royal Areanum, Brooklyn Institute, Central Congregational Church, the Congregational Club, and various other clubs and societies.
Perhaps the highest tribute that can be paid to Dr Milbury character, is the high regard in which he was held by his professional brethren.
The funeral was held at his late residence, Friday evening, August 31st. The Rev Dr. Behrenda, Dr Milbury's pastor, died a few months ago, and the services were conducted by the Rev John F Carson and Rev Samuel M Keeler of Central Presbyterian Church and Rev Charles T Snow, of Marcy Avenue Baptist Church, all of whom had been intimate friends of Dr Milbury. It may be proper to note here a few of Dr Carson's remarks: "on various occasions," he said, "I had heart to heart talk with our departed friend, one of three hours only a few days ago. There were three qualities in Dr Milbury's character that strongly impressed me. First his deep and tender love for every member of his family; second, his sensitiveness to public opinion; third, his splendid loyalty to the loftiest ideals of his profession. Early in life Dr Milbury, so he told me, determined that he should give to the sufferers who came to him for advice and relief, the very best that education, science, and the mechanical appliances of his profession could give. Nothing less than the highest satisfied his conscience, or his ambition. he regarded his calling as a sacred mission. he was an artist, not an artisan. In spite of many difficulties, he had possessed himself of the world's knowledge of the divine art of healing, and all was made the servant of his chosen specialty. His days at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Vienna, and other famous universities were not his days of hardest study. Till the hour he was stricken down, Dr. Milbury burned the midnight oil informing himself of the world's progress in his profession. All the great medical journals were to found in his study, and he counted no sacrifice too great that he might place in his office the most improved instruments and appliances. And in all, was the steadfast Christian faith that found expression in almost his last breath in the words "my precious Saviour ' ! Jesus save me !"
Dr Milbury's father and mother, four brothers and one sister survive him.

James Johnston
On Sunday morning, 26th inst., the people of Centreville received a shock at the news of the death of one of its oldest and most respected citizens James Johnston.
Although for the last three years in failing health the word of his sudden demise startled all. Deceased was 79 years of age and was one of Centreville's earliest settlers. He entered the unpruned forest where now the village stands, a lad of five years, having come from St John with his parents, to seek out a home.
The success which attended their honest effort must be seen to be appreciated. Mr. Johnston was once married, the widow's maiden name being Miss Amy Cogswell.
Up to very late years deceased always took an active interest in church and social functions until failing health opliged him to desist. The Baptist Church which stands within stones throw of his gateway was erected largely through his endeavours. The vacancy in the community left by his departure will long be noticeable.
The widow and relatives have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

The dress making shop of Misses Faulkner, and the tailor shops of W B Nicholson, George W Gibson and Guy Saunders are now using the new system. Mr. Nicholson asked by the Press, said he was more than pleased with the results. It was better than the old system, which took 20 minutes to heat the irons; now they can be gotten ready in eight or ten minutes; the current can be turned off when not in use, and the absence of heat in the workrooms is of prime importance; new irons had to be purchased and they can be disconnected when not in use. He would not entertain the notion of returning to the old system.

Faded in her early bloom.
From our circle little Stella
Early has she passed away
But the angel say - another
Joins our happy song today.

OBITUARY
Hugh Miller, one of the pioneers of Glassville, Carleton county, died recently at Glasgow, Scotland. For many years he occupied the position of postmaster at Glassville. He opened the first store in that section of Carleton and, until his retirement some ten years ago, he conducted a large and successful business.
Born on a farm near Glasgow, Scotland. Mr Miller afterwards learned the trade of an iron moulder and on coming to this country entered the employ of Harris & Allan, where he remained until his health compelled him to seek outdoor employment.
Rev Mr. Glass was then inducing Scotch people, both in the old country and this to take up land in the new colony he was forming in Carleton county, and Mr Miller decided to throw in his lot with the new settlement , which turned out to be one of the most successful ever formed in New Brunswick, the pioneers of which are rapidly passing away. Since the death of his wife, who was a daughter of the late James Pender, sr., of Petersville, Queens county, Mr Miller has travelled extensively, and in October last went to Scotland to visit some relatives there. He was taken ill immediately after his arrival, but two months ago was reported much better. Last week information was received that he had again taken ill, and his son John left on the Tunisian with the intention of bringing his father home.
Mr Miller is survived by two sons and a daughter. James is postmaster at Glassville, and the other, John, is in business at Montreal. The daughter is with her husband at Dominon Yukon Territory.

On Wednesday the gates of the Meduxnakik dam were shut down for the first time, the water kept accumulating and a large body was flowing over the dam on Thursday morning. Large crowds visited the place the last few days of the week. The water has formed a lake of three miles. The ice is broken considerably in the pond. There is no doubt whatever but that the freshet will not injure the dam.

Obituary Record
Mrs G N White
The sad news was recently received in Centreville, that Alanda, wife of G N White, died in Portland, Oregon, on the 3rd inst. Her husband had engaged in mercantile business, some four years ago, to which his wife went in June last, and where they intended to permanently reside. Quite suddenly she had an attack of acute Brights disease, and not withstanding she had the best medical attendance in the hospital, after severe suffering for ten days, expired on the 3rd inst., in the ?0th year of her age. She was an only daughter of the late Charles and Charlotte Gallupe of Maine, married by Rev J J Colter 25 years ago. Several years ago her father was accidentally killed in the Maine woods; her mother who subsequently married John Barratt, suddenly died, leaving one son and one daughter. Mrs. White leaves a husband, son of G W White, and three children. The eldest son and daughter were in Michigan engaged in business, while the youngest was the only child that was present at the mother's death, and was not recognized, as she was unconscious twenty-four hours previous to her death. Her presence will be much missed not only in her own household but in whatever locality or home; her pleasant countenance and smile carried sunshine to the company where she associated.
Her daughter, Roni, a graduate music teacher, the oldest son, Donald holding a lucerative position, her youngest son taking a prominent position in mercantile life--all three in Michigan--will sadly miss the tender care and wise counsel of mother. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church and adorned her profession by a well ordered life and godly conversation, whose name will be cherished and respected where she was known.
Her mortal remains was placed in the cemetery where she made her home and residence. Sympathy of friends goes out toward the afflicted husband, children and friends.

Mr. C. D. Dickinson has returned from a trip to California, where he was investigating the properties of the Vernon Oil Co., whose representative he is in this province. The Vernon property is in the Curran River Oil district, and is about 314 miles south of San Francisco. After giving the enterprise a thorough investigation he is satisfied that the possibilities are enormous. Few people here in the east have any conception of the value of these oil properties and the excellent investments they are when properly managed, as the Vernon property most certainly is. In another column where their advertisement appears, something further about the property may be learned. Mr. Dickinson was fortunate enough to be able to visit Salt Lake City and he heard the celebrated choir in the renowned Mormon temple. He was much impressed with the music, and the general appearance of everything about Salt Lake City.
