Long & Hoffmeister's elegant and superbly furnished ice cream hall is receiving a liberal and deserved patronage. Strawberries smothered in ice cream isn't really so bad to take. As the weather gets warmer, Long & Hoffmeister will offer visitors to their fine hall some new delicacies, including chocolate cream, Roman punch, etc. Kansas City may well be proud of this popular resort. No hall so richly furnished can be found in the West, and it has few superiors in the country.
An accident happened yesterday afternoon to Mr. O. T. Williams, the well-known proprietor of the fruit and confectionery store adjoining the St. Nicholas Hotel. He was unlucky enough to fall from the platform of the second story, in the rear of his store, to the cistern platform beneath, a distance of some fifteen feet. He had the presence of mind to put out his arms to break the fall, and by that means prevented, perhaps, his neck from being broken, or his head badly injured. He was hurt somewhat on his face and hip, and his wrist was fractured.
