This same physician, Dri .Charles W. Bruninghaus of Worcesger, also stated in the statement made on Feb. 12, 1916, that at the time of his e amination on the same date, the pa- tient walked with an tnsteady sait and a pronounced 'left “haemiplegih; that at the time of the accident the patient had a .cerebral hemorrhage which effected somie portion of the motor tract of the brain, and that the slight " incoordigatiorr which exhibited itself was due to the extemsion of the trouble into the- cerebellum. It is found that the dsath of Nel- son Theroux which occurred on April 8, 1916, was attributable to the injury received by him on tpe 24th day of May, 1914, and that it occurred within a perjod of two years following the injury, s On the medical certificate of death, which was signed by Pr. L. J. Papi- neau ‘of Webster, Mass., the attending physician, - the cause of death was siven as “Blow received on head,” a|2nd the secondary cause was stated to_be “General debility,” both very indefinite terms and terms which should hardly be acceptable as a cor- rect and definite cause of death, and the respondent was requested to get 2 more definite’ statement from the physician as. to the exact cause of death with -the result -that a letter was written by the attending physi- cian, stating that the cause of death was’ “Cerebellum Tumor caused by a blow reecived on the head.” As there was no post-mortem exam- ination to definitely decide the char- acter of the injury to the brain and the attending physician makes: the statement as given in paragraph 8, it is to be assumed that. there is exist- inz a casual connection between the death and the injury which the de- cedent received on May 24, 1916 The information regar8ing.the phy- sical condition of the decedent which was of most value was the ‘statement submitted by Bruninghaus of Worcester, Mass. On the date of the examination, the patient ‘showed ‘2 marked sclerosed condition of -the -arteries, but thiy sclerosed - condition’ of his arteries is not found to be the result of the in- jury of May 24, 1916, hut is rather a process which 'extends over a 'lon period, and while that miy have play- ed some part in the ultimate unfav- orable result, it cannot effect the main question. It is very clearly evident that the injury was a contributing cause. and while the degenerative process has been slow, it is clearly attributable to the injury received by the decedent on the date in ques- tion. The decedent left surviving him a widow who is named in the caption as the claimant, and four children, all of whom have reached their majority, and from the testimony it is found that the widow was living with her husband at the time of his injury and subsequent death and was regularly recelving support from him, and that she is the sole dependent. Following the injury on May 24, BOARD OF TRADE FAVORS AMALGAMATION Committes ppointeds to Confer With Chamber of Commerce. At a special meeting of the Nor- wich Board of Trade held in one of the large stores in the Thayer build- i#g Monday evening, it was voted to amalgamate with the Norwich Cham- ber of Commerce and the following committee was appointed to confer with 2 similar committee of the Chamber of Commerce: President F. J. King, William A. Aiken, Timothy C. Murphy and Shephard B. Palmer: The meeting was called to order promptly at 8 o'clock by President ¥. J. King. Secretary Henry W. Tibbetts read the call of the meeting. Ex-Congressman Edwin ‘W: Higgins arose and said: Time and_conditions change and. so. do men. If -they do change they get left. He sald he understood that there'were some 200 who signified their desire to consoli- date the two civic bodies and he could not see any opposition to the consoli- dation. He said hoth organizations are working along the same lines for the betterment of Norwich and that it would be best to combine the work- ing forces into ome stromg central body. Mr. Higgins closed with making the following motion: It is the. sense of this organization that there be but one_civic commercial body in the town of Norwich and’ that Willlam A, Ai- [ ken, Timothy <.

Casey of Wauwecus Hill Has Copy of Ship’s Log Printed in 1883, William H. Casey of Wauwecus Hill was aboard the U. S, S. Galena during its famous cruise from Aug. 26, 1880, to March 31, 1883. He has in his pos- session a copy of the ship’s log in book form, printed at Buenos Aires in 1833. The log contains many interesting in- cidents of the Galena's cruise and cov- ers about 150 pages. At the end of the log is a list of the ports wvisited by the Galena on that particular trip, and the total shows that there were 78 in all. The number of knots made Guring ‘he cntire cruise was 35,93L1. Mr. Casey, the owner of the 10g, is a native of this city, having been born on_the West Side. Extracts from the log are as follows: The U. . S. Galena, third rate, a corvete of eight guns, went into com- mission as a cruiser by order of the secretary of the mavy on the 26th of August, 1880. She was fitted out at the Norfolk navy yard. Commander James O’Kane, U, §. N., was ordered to take command. The officers and crew immediately reported on board, and after coaling and taking stores she proceeded to Hampton Roads to await orders. -On the 17th of September we received a visit from Commodors Hughes, who expressed himself pleased with the ship and the ship's company. The navy department having issued an order that the Galena be inspected be- fore setting out to sea, the board of inspectors, in obedlence thereto, in- spected us on the morning of the 20th of September. We were exercised at general quarters, torpedo drill, and manned and armed boats. The report of thé board was favorable in every respect, with the exteption of her bot- tom, which was found in such a con- dition that it made it necessary’ to have it scraped befors going to sea. While at Hampton Roads the North Atlantic squadron came in and we joined and participated with it in the drill and inspection before President Hayes and the secretary of the navy. Upon the arrival of the president the yards were manned and a salute was fired- from the flagships and Fortress Monroe. We left Norfoli on the 13th of Noyember, bound for Baltimore, ‘witere the ship was docked and her ‘bottom scrape, and on {he 26th of November we left Baltimore, but we were compelled to anchor at night, as a blinding snowstorm made it danger- dus to continue on.. ‘While riding péacefully at anchor, suddenly the cry of all hands to repel boarders burst upon our astonished ears. Tumbling up the dadders, we found we were stormed and about t be carried by assault by a large fleet of rafts floating, down the Elizabeth river. [3 We continued:to steam on our pas- sage across the Atlantic, with occa- sional head winds and squally weathier to occupy. quir time. t 2.30 a. m. on the morning of ‘the of January a light was réported, proved to be on Cape Trafalgar, southern point of Spain; and soon Jight at Cape Spartel, on the -Morocco, shone off “the ‘star- oard -bow. ‘We. then hove: to, took Dbearings and ‘entered the Straits of z At 615 a. m. we 'wers in “of the famous Rock of Gforaitar, |- %o or from.

Captain O'Kane waited ~upon the governor and tendered all assist- ance it was in his power to render. Systematic pasties were organized un- der the charge of officers 1o carry the woundde, 1ift out the dead and to pull doggn the walls and buildings standing but unsafe. Upon reaching the shore we found the scene heart-rending in the ‘extreme; men, women and chil- dren were lying around or under the mass of ruins. The streets were blocked with the debris of the fallen buildings. Hospital fents were erected in the suburbs of “ie town. Inside the tents the wounded were laid out in rows, and it wes horrible to witness the great gaping wounds and mangled limbs and to hear the agonizing, broken-hearted laments of kindred over indred. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th we weighed anchor and steamed from the never-to-be-forgot- ten sceme of the rerrible phenpmenon. We made paseage of 80 miles in 10 hours and came to anchor.in the har- bor of Syrna at 10 o'clock at night. It was fien daily expected that the Turks and Greeks would go.to war, so for the purpose of keeping a watchful eye upon American interests we left Smyrna on the 22d for a cruise among the islands of the archipelago. We cruised along the coasts of Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, Malta, Egypt, Maderia, Brazil and Uruguay. In all we traveled during the cruise 35,9311 knots. The Galena was 249.16 feet in length and had a dis- placement of 1,899 98-100 tons and draught of water ready for sea-for- ward 14.8 feet, aft 17.11 feet.
