Fatal Accident at Paddock Viii
lage.
Thomas w. Hamilton Killed.
Thomas w. Hamilton. joint proprie-
tor with n. Hynes of the Acme Iron
Works ut Paddock Village, met his
death in a singular manner last Tues
day. AT about half past three in the
afternoon he was preparing to bore a
hole in a machine standing in the old
Buzzell foundry just this side the river,
and to make it firm was bracing it by
pieces of timber, one fastened to the
ceiling and the other To the floor. No
| one was with him at the time save his
wife. He was fastening cieat to the
floor to secnre the lower brace firmly,
when his wife noticed that the brace
fastened to the ceiling was about to
| fall and exclaimed to her husband,
who looked up Just in time to receive
the blow from the falling timber upon
his left temple. They then walked
| home to Mr.. Newton's boarding house,
not surprising he had received any Sc
rious injury. But about six o'clock he
was seized with convulsive attacks and
became unconscious, and medical aid
was summoned. 1t appeared that
blood vessel within the head had been
ruptured by the blow, and the patient
did not regain consciousness but died
at L 20 p. IN.
| The firm to which the deceased be-
| lOnged have been in business here
since January, having bought the
above mentioned Buzzell property and
later the Bonctt foundry business on
the opposite side of the river. He had
made this place his settled residence
since about May |, and was the work
| ing member of the firm. He was an
excellent workman, genial in social
and business relations, and was much
liked by his acquaintance here. His
sudden death is the sadder from the
| fact that he was married only fort
night ago to-day to Montreal lady.
| His home was in that city, where he
has mother. two sisters and a broth
or, and his remains were taken there
| Yesterday. The accident was very sin
gular, since if he had been struck in
almost any other part of the body, he
would probably have received no inju-
ry. AS it was, the fatal blow hardly
left perceptible mark. His age was
% years.
