A Severe Accident

Wednesday evening Robert A. Phillips, cashier of the State Savings bank, and John Walz, of the same institution, were giving their bicycles a little exercise, in a race around the athletic grounds, when, in turning a corner, Mr. Phillips was unable to control his steed, which insisted on doing pretty much as it pleased. The result was that Mr. Phillips was unhorsed, and in falling his head struck heavily against a post. He was picked up unconscious and conveyed home in a carriage. Drs. Breakey and Nancrede were called, and at first thought that Mr. Phillips had received a fracture of the skull, but were hopeful later that this was not the case. The victim of the ' dent soon recovered consciousness and seems in a fair way of recovery, but is confined to his room. Mr. Phillips is a popular bank official with many friends to wish for him a , speedy recovery.
