Saline, Mich., July 27.--(Special to the Daily Argus) Messrs. Homer Fish, Frank Daniels, Fred Jerry and Gorge Lutz are kept from their work by sickness. It seems to be cholera morbus.

A.M. Humphrey and wife are away on a vacation of two weeks.

Ex-Deputy Treasurer Jacob Braun passed through town on Tuesday.

The wire gang on the electric road are within a mile of the village with the feed wire.

E.W. Smith, of the Detroit News circulation department, is here in the interests of that journal.

Mrs. John McKinnon and daughter Agnes, left on Wednesday for a visit among relatives in York state.

A party of 15 ladies from here drove to Ann Arbor Monday evening to give Mrs. Frank Jones a housewarming.

Carl Harmon has severed his connection with Humphrey & Co. and has taken a position with W.H. Sweet, of Ypsilanti.

Marshal Charles Carven and family are visiting his brother at Brooklyn. Geo. Lutz is acting marshal in his absence.

Alfred Miller has sold privileges for stands, merry-go-rounds, etc., on his place adjoining Arbeiter Park for German Day.

Doane Fosdick has accepted a position as fireman on the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis railroad. He left Monday night.

Messrs. Shley & Evans, who have been canvassing in this vicinity for the past six weeks, delivered a large number of blacksmith outfits to the farmers hereabouts.

The contract for the bridge for the electric road across the Ann Arbor road has been let and grading begun. The bridge will be completed in about three weeks--so 'tis said. At any rate every effort will be made to have the cars running by German Day, Aug.17.

The M.E. church is rapidly nearing completion. The brick layers have nearly ended their labors and the slaters will have the roof on by Saturday night. The church when done will be a credit to the society and will add much to the appearance of the village.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Glasier left on Wednesday morning for Fargo, N Dakota. They will visit at Chicago and West Superior, Wis., before reaching Fargo. A reception was held for them at Mrs. LaRue's on Tuesday evening, when they met their many friends of Saline and vicinity.

Last Friday evening while a severe storm was raging, a valuable team belonging to Charles Ellis, southwest of the village, was killed by lightning. The team was hitched to a load of Page Wire Fence and tied to a maple tree. The flash struck the tree and glanced towards the wire fence, striking the horses.

By next week the electric cars will be running into the village. A trolley wire will cross the Ann Arbor railroad on the grade and a car will be jumped across and will run from the village to the railroad track and connect with another car at the track. Passengers will be required to walk across the Ann Arbor track to avoid liability on the part of the electric road for accidents.

The marriage of Miss Abbie Chandler, only daughter of Dr. S.W. Chandler and Fred Koernig of Clinton was celebrated Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J.B. Wallace officiating. Miss Chandler was prominent in church and society circles. The groom is a rising young business man and city clerk of Clinton. Among the numerous guests were Don Stark, of Ann Arbor, hero of San Juan Hill and Fred Field, editorial writer on the Free Press staff, of Detroit. The Argus extends best wishes for the happiness and welfare of the young couple.
