Frost on new rubberoid roofing material on top of the building formerly occupied by 'Giovanetti's Grocery on Calhoun Avenue, was responsible this morning for a fall of 35 feet suffered by George O'Brien, a painter, that resulted in the breaking of his left arm, the spraining of his left wrist and the bruising of his head. Mr. O'Brien immediately after going to work on top of the slant- ing roof of the structure today, stepped on the rubberoid, which was laid yesterday afternoon. His feet slipped and went out from un- der him. He rolled down and off the roof. Thirty-five feet below he struck the ground at the foot lof a small tree. To his aid at :once went two of his fellow work- ers. He was helped into an auto- mobile and was hastened to St. Ann’s Hospital, where his fracture was set and his bruises were dressed. | The former Giovanetti Grocery building is being refitted into an apartment house by A.

They did last evening at a dance given for them by the Gastineau Hotel | in the lobby of the hostelry. They forgot the tasks of the classroom for the pleasures of the waltz and the foxtrot. For the occasion, from the spa- cious lobby floor, writing desks were removed from the side wall, and chairs were taken to the rear of the room near the cheerful blaz- ing fire-place. On the table close by, was a punch bowl, whose in- viting dark-red liquid content elic- ited frequent expressions of approv- al from E. H. Meyer, prohibition agent.
