Fpur Stitches Required to Close Wound in Palm of J. Dootsky’s Hand.—Herbert Goodrich’s Father Has Shock.—Brief Items. Little short of a miracle was the escape from death of Nelson Minor, the local contractor, yesterday after- noon, when, as he was working on the cornice of the new bungalow vihich is being erected on Worthing- ton ridge for Morris Woodruff, he fell from a staging twelve feet from the ground and landed squarely on the top of his head in a heap of soft dirt. Although he was not able to work today, he was up and about the streets, considering the accident little ‘more than a trifle. He has pains all - @bout his chest and neck, but de- Clines to visit a physician for treat- ment. . The accident occurred shortly be- fore 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Minor, assisted by another carpenter, Ezra Goodrich, were working on the north side of the bungalow and were i the act of completing the cornice. The former had pried a board into position and was holding onto the end i of the board, which served as ah im- provised lever, with one hand, and Wwas about to drive a nail with a ham« mer helwld in the other hand, when the levér gave way, plunging = Mr. ' Minor backwards. Before Good- rf*h could realize what had occurred his companion had ‘allen and was Iying on the ground in a dazed con- dition. Picking him up, Goodrich summoned George Sutton who hap- ‘pened along in his automonile, and hatl Mr. Minor taken to his home. Mr. Minor's belief in doctors’ ability is not very strong and he refused, ab- solutely, to dllow a physician to be cgjied. “Neighbors expected that he would be laid up for some weeks to come and were greatly surprised early this orning to see him walking along the “ridee.” “It takes more than \ that to lay me up,” was his cheery answer to a friend who informed him that he had been thinking of buying flowers, “and if T wer. younger.. I'd hale zone to work again today.” | There was a hole more than a foot eep in the dirt pile where the un- gnrmna'fl contractor landed. Tn the gninion of Gaodrich.

His Father Has Shock, Herbert Goodrich of Worthington iridge received word last evening of he fact that his father, Francls Gqodrich of West Rocky Hill, well . e v ‘covery. known in Berlin, had suffered a stroke of apoplexy and that his con- dition was critical, Mr. Goodrich, who is about sixty- five years of age, was found aboug 5 o’clock in the evening lying in =a paralyzed condition near a dam in one of the lots on his farm. He was carried into the house and a physi- clan summoned immediately. The aged gentleman grew weaker during the night and this morning the doctor held out very little hope for his re- His entire right side is paralyzed. Apparently Mr. Goodrich was in the best of health yesterday forenoon and in the early afternoon. He had been in New Britain at noon and upon his return ate a hearty dinner. Workman’s Hand Badly Laccrated. While in the act of pushing over a pile of steel beams just before 6 o’clock last evening the right hand of J. Dootsky, an employe of the beam department of the Berlin Construc- tion company, slipped suddenly with the result that it ran along the rough edge of one of the beams, sustaining bad lacerations about the palm. Dr. Griswold of Kensington, who was called, found it necessary to take four stitches to close the wounds. To Form Gardeners’ Assoclation. Unsigned post cards stating that a meeting for the purpose of forming a market gardeners’ association, and se- curing a public wholesale market, will be held in the Hotel Beloin, New Brit- ain, Monday evening, July 27, at @ o'clock, are being received by local farmers. This is but the beginning of the movement, which was explained in Monday’s issue of the Herald, and it is expected that many other meetings will follow, the ultimate result being the establishment of a public whole- sale market in New Britain, either by the city itself, in the interests of its fruit and vegetable merchants, or by the new organization. The object of this market would be to eliminate much of the incon- venience to which the farmer is putr at present when he goes to the city to dispose of his produce. Since the beginning of the regime of the new administration the farmers have been denied the privilege of congregating on Main street early in the morning and exchanging their wares and at present they are obliged to drive around the gtreets looking for a middleman to ‘purchase from them, No Services Tomorrow at M.’ Church.’ It has heen decided to omit church services at the Kensington Methodist Episcopal church tomorrow as so many members and friends of the church are planning to attend the camp meeting at Plainville, during the day. The preachers on the program for Sunday, July 26, will be Rev. O. J. Range and Rev. H. S. Still and Harry K. Miller, a member of the Wesleyan gospel team which worked so success- fully in New Britain early this year. Wedding Twenty-five Years Ago. The following is taken from the Herald of July 24, 1889; “John Devin, of the Berlin Iron Bridge company, and Miss Jessie Mc- Crum, of Mast Berlin, were married at Bast Berlin yesterday.” John Devin, who moved away from East Berlin a number of years ago, is now engaged in the office of an iron construction company in Cuba. His wife, it will be remembered, was accidentally shot in a western city some time ago. Sunday School Picnic. About 9 o'clock this morning, a épe- cial trolley car chartered by the Sun- day school of the Kensington Metho- dist church left the Kensington switen well filled with the children and their teachers, enroute to KElizabeth park, Hartford, where the annual outing was held today. Rural Letter Carrier Charles Williams, who is the superintendent of the Sunday school, accompanied the party. Girls Enjoy Day at Camp. The girls of the Junior department of the - Kensington Congregational church Sunday school, together with their teachers, the Misses Carrie and Pauline Bauer and Helen Cowles and Mrs. Harold Upson, spent the day in a pretty grove on the banks of the lower reservoir, near the spot where a number .of the Sunday school boys enjoyed an outing last week.

Trolleymen are picking their runs this week and, while the list is in- complete as yet it is known that there will be a few changes on the Berlin line. Motorman E. M. Rempp, who left this. division to go on the Hart- ford end, three months ago, will Te- turn, taking the place of Motorman Matthew Mazeike, who will take a Hartford run. Conductor Paul Stall- bush will leave the Berlin line to work on the West End run. Berlin Briefs. Mrs. Edward L.
