POLE. An accident which caused general regret, as he has a wide circle of 1fends, occurred on Wednesday morn- ing at about 11.10 o’clock at the corner of Laurel Hill avenue and River ave- nue, when Edward Hart, azed between 30 and 35, fell from 2 pole on which he was at work as a lineman and, striking on the sidewalk, received a fractured skull at the base of the brain. He was taken to the Backus hospital, where his condition du: the evening remained about the s: though it was reported that he growing weaker. There is no hop - his re- covery and the end is expected within a few hours. Through Laurel Hill avenue the poles are being changed, new ones re- plading the decayed ones. Electric light, fire alarm, telephone, messenger service and trolley w are all on the same poles through the avenue, and the work of making the changes is being done for the Connecticut com- pany with Superintendent of Lines Humphrey in charge. There is a nest of wires on the pole where Hart was working and he was about to place a crossarm for the electric light wires. The linemen were engaged in placing the crossarms and moving the wires. Lineman Hart was employed by the Connecticut company and the company is moving the wires of the fire elarm system while doing their own work. Just how the accident happened will never be known unless Mr. Hart should | recover. It is thought, however, that he came in contact with a live wire, the shock throwing him off the pole. | Policeman Irish was on way to dinner and Lineman Harry Tracy om | the pole on Laurel Hill avenue, north of where Hart was, spoke to Mr. Irkh as he passed. Hearing someone cry out, Mr. Irish looked up and saw Hart dropping through space headfirst. He struck on his héad’ and shoulder on the sidewalk and several hastened to him, but he was in such a bad condi- tion_that little could be done for him. He bled much and an effort was made to get dootors tg attend him, but none could be found in, and after a wait of half an hour for the ambulance, Su- perintendent Humphrey decide to send him to the hospital in the work car, which_was done. Dr. Kimball arrived just as he reached the hospital and an examina- tion showed that bhe was suffering from a fractured skull at the base of the brain. Wednesday evening, Dr. | Kimball stated that there was no hope for him, though he might linger 24| hours. While no one knows it s believed that, while wet with perspiration, and going through the electric wires that either he stood on a messenger wire and some part of his moist clothing caime In contact with a lve wire or else his shoulder or arm hit a live wire. Either would have been suffi- cient to have thrown him from the pole. As he received the shock, or made a misstep he oried out. but | nothing could be done and he hit the | ground a hard blow, falling about feet, He had done considerable wor for the fire department and Chief Stanton declared Wednesday evening that he was the best lineman in the city From what he knows of him and his work he felt satisfied that le never took hold of a live wire, s he was too well posted on them. He had been here for a number of years and for a time was employed by the telephone company as a Hneman, but for some time he has been in the employ of the Connecticut company. He had spoken | of the difficult task of changing the lines through the avenue on Tuesday evening. He boarded with Mary B. Drew, No 26 Union street; and everyone speaks in high terms of him. He was a faith- ful and conscientlous workman and liked by his employers. He came from Bridgeport, where he has cousins. CAUSE OF FIRE UNKNOWN. Plant of Keyes Process Company at Palmertown Damaged. A fire of unknown origin broke out in the dryhouse of the Connecticut Keyes Process company at Palmertown | ‘Tuesday afternoon which threatened the destruction of ihe whole plant.

He item- ized the larger gifts which include that of Mrs. Sage of $650,000 to purchase Sachems woods. He said that “that moxumental _example of optimiem, Secretary Stokes,” five years ago had predicted that in four years five mil- lions in endowments would come in.

It gave him pleasure to say In simple words the thoughts which have helped him through life. “I have mnever found the place where a lie would take the place of the truth. In nearly afty years of active business experience I have nev- er found a transaction worth while when_it came under the shadow of a trick or deception. T have tried to keep_my hands clean; I am now too oM, T think to learn new tricks” Mr. Hill then spoke of the value of university training as compared with that of discipline in the school of the world, laying stress on the need of trained minds as well as practical hands in the years to come. He mald that Chief Justice Marshall in his in- terpretation of the constitution did a eervice to the nation which is incalcul- able. The fathers latd the foundations, he said_ but Marshall reared the struc- ture. ‘The future of the nation will rest upon the courts, and free government will make its final stand upon the de- cisions of the United States supreme court, he said in conclusion.
