MISS LIGHTHALL, OF CHELSEA, HAS A PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Two New Houses Are Being Erected and an Addition to a Third House in Thriving Chelsea

Chelsea, Mich., April 15.--Miss Anna Lighthall, who is well known as a public singer, being in the choir of the Congregational church, met with a painful but not serious accident yesterday afternoon by the overturning of a pot of hot coffee over a portion of her right side and limb. Miss Lighthall had just returned from driving and her hands being somewhat chilled, she did not retain a firm hold of the utensil in passing it from one hand to the other and consequently the accident occurred. Her father immediately came to her rescue and hastily removed her clothing. The fact that she wore a heavy woolen dress served in a measure to lessen the effect of the scalding hot fluid. The attending physician, Dr. G. W. Palmer, states that while it is a bad accident the young lady will in all probability soon recover.

Myron Lighthall today commenced the excavation for a new residence on S. Main street.

Joseph Kalb is a building an addition to his residence at the foot of South street.

Godfrey Weick is preparing to improve his home on W. Middle street.
