| Sad Case of Drowning |
| Janes [not James] W., only son of Thomas E. and Alice N. Taylor, formerly of this city, was drowned at East Haverhill, N. H., June 3. He was 13 years of age and beloved by all who knew him. Funeral services were held at the church at 1 p.m. Sunday, the entire community sympathizing with the afflicted family. As the Sunday school close, of which he was a member, passed the open grave each deposited a floral tribute until the casket was literally covered with flowers. The floral tributes at the church were many and beautiful, the gifts of friends, testifying to the high esteem in which the lad was held by the whole community. |

| Severe Accident to a Fireman |
| Jerry L. Flagg, foreman of Protective fire company, No. 1, residing in Warren court, was severely injured yesterday afternoon at about five o'clock on Fairmount street. He was at work on the top of a spliced ladder a distance of about 35 feet from the ground, painting a telephone pole, when the upper portion of the ladder broke apart, and he was precipitated to the ground. He struck on his heels and then fell backward with violence; his head striking on the concrete sidewalk. He received a cut an inch and a half long on the back of the head extending to the skull, and it is believed that the outer plate of the skull is fractured. He was unconscious for several minutes.
