shoe factory this afternoon, which possibly
may prove fatal to Uriah Miller, the regu-
lar truckman connected with the establish
ment. 1t seems the old boiler in the engine
room was being moved to give place to a
new one recently purchased. One end of
the boiler was surmounted ON bookings and
the other end was supported on jack
screw. Mr.. Miller was in the act of turn
ing the screw, when suddenly the boiler
canted and nearly its whole weight fell up
on Miller, jamming him up against brick
wall few feet distant. His injuries are
confined to his head and right side. When
picked up it was feared life was extinct, but
he sufficiently revived to be carried home,
where he remains in aprecarious condition
