Pickering Has Passed Physical Examination —Three Men Injured by Falling Derrick—Firemen " Honor Their Dead—White Rocks Defeat Stonington —Westerly Wins from Wakefield—Recent Marriages Largdon Dominique Pickering of ‘Waster!; resides with his grand- mother,”Mrs. Harriet Smith Langdon, in the Avondale section, has success- fully passed the mental and physical examinations, and entered Annapolis naval academy. Midshipman Pickering was appoint- ed by Representative Capron as alter- nate at the time he appointed Donald Dunn of Westerly as principal. Mr. Dunn is the son of Commander How- ard O. Dunn, U. 8. N., and comes from a long line of naval officers. He is a young man of snlendid physical ap- pearance and passed the mental ex- amination in excellent shape, but in the physical tests it was found that he has a defect of the: heart, which barred him from the academy. Midshipman Pickering is a son of Joseph Winslow Pickering and Caro- iyn Belle Pickering, daughter of Mra Harriet Smith Langdon, From & child the ambition of the elder son, Nelson Winslow Pickering, was for a naval career, and in 1904 he passed the ex- amination and entered the naval acad- emy. He was born in Boston, 1887, His brother, Langdon_ Dominigue Pickering, was born in Boston Sep- tember 21, 1891 One of the large desrleks at the Newall granite quarr- in the Niantic section of Westerly fell Saturday morning and work was suspgnded for the balance of the day. Whilk a large block of granite was being lifted one of the wire guy ropes parted about vay and the derriok swerved and Most of the quarrymen es- caped, but three among them, Italians, were injured. Louis Poncero had his left leg brok- en above the ankle and one rip frac- tured. Thomas Subineck sustained @ severe cut in the top of the head. Thomas Wilson received a long, deep cut in the right arm. There were fifteen men at work near the derrick, and when the' guy rope parted, another guy was by the increased strain, and all the other guy ropes feil in a tangled mass with the derrick, whioh was one of the imrgest in the quarry. Besides Poncera, Subinock and Wil- son, several other workmen received minor cuts and bruisés. The injured men were attended by Drs. James Lewis and Dr. Benoit Sweet. As the break in the wire rops guy was several feet from the ground, and not in contact with anything that would ocoasion wear, and as the der- riok was not overloaded, the real cause of the dccident could pot be explained, The guy wires were supposed to be of standard test and strength.
