 SOuthingtOn Ladies And A LabOrer
 Badly Injured.
 A party of about fifteen Southington peo- pie went to Short Beach to spend the Fourth and stayed over until yesterday morning in order to inspect the oil works of E. R. Kel- sey, which are located at the point of rocks at the beach. Early yesterday morning the party went down to the works and after in- specting them became much interested in watching the process of loading the fish, sharks and other sea specimens into the car which transports them over short track to the works, the car being pulled to the shop by wire rope running over @ pulley at the shop end of the track, the power being fur nished by a stationary engine in the works. on the track after the car tons of fish, when either the man who has charge of the car or someone by accident pulled the wire, which was a signal for the engineer to start his engine, and the car started in the direction of the shop at good rate of speed The party who were standing on the track started to get out of the way of the moving car, but two of the ladies were unable to do so, and Mrs. John P. Connor, of Southington, was struck by the car and had her arm. badly crushed at the shoulder. The other lady was wounded in the breast and had one hand crushed by the accident, and one of the laborers who tried to assist the ladies had his hand badly crushed: The ladies were taken to a cottage near by and medical aid sent for. In about two hours Drs. Gaylord and Penney, of Branford, arrived and Mrs. Connor's arm was amputated at the shoulder, having nearly been cut off by the car. There are hopes that she will recover.

 About ha1f-past eleven o'clock last even ing word was sent to police headquarters that man crazy drunk was smashing things up in general at Mrs. Clulnp's boarding house on Water street near Olive, and Offi- cers Tripp and Pickering were at once sent in the patrol wagon to the house. On the arrival of the officers they found all the oc- cupants huddled together in one room with the door locked and all the furniture and dishes in the house smashed into pieces. Mrs. ClumP, the landlady of the house, pointed to door of one of the rooms on the first floor and told the officers that the drunken man, who proved to be Jamet' Weaver, one of the boarders, was in the room drunk and armed with an axe. Officer Tripp drew out his club and pushing open the door of the room entered followed by Officer Pickering, but no man was to be found in the room, he having made his es- cape through window and over the back fence, taking the axe with him. Weaver had struck with the axe at one of the boarders, who had tried to stop his breaking the dish es, but the man was cut only slightly as the blow was glancing one. The police are on the lookout for Weaver, as he is considered a dangerous man when drunk.

FOR A NEW HOME.

Off For The Orange Groves or Florida.
 MT. George w. Farnham, janitor of East Divinity hall at Yale Theological school for fifteen years past, leaves Connecticut in a few weeks to take up his abode permanently in Florida upon an orange plantation which he bought couple of years ago. It is situ- ated at Maitland, about fifteen miles below the head of navigation on St. Johns river, and four miles from the site at Winter Park of the new agricultural college for which a fund of over $100, 900 has been raised, and to which a Chicago man recently gave $50, GOO. MT. Farnham was pleasantly surprised re- gently to find that two graduates of Yale Di- vinity school are located in Florida, near enough to his future home to be called neighbors. MT. Farnhan1 has ten or twelve acres of orange grove leased, which is plenty large enough for his purposes. His resigna ton was received with regret by the college authorities, his services having been highly satisfactory, and he leaves behind many sin cere friends and well-wishers in New Haven, and many the graduates of the institu- tion who remember with pleasure Janitor Farnham. He, by desire, remains janitor till about the middle of September, until after the fall term has well opened.

One of the ladies, evidently the mother of the children, and the children entered the hotel, while the other lady slowly walked owards a high rock on the Sound shore on the south side of which the water is very deep. Many of the visitors mount the rock to obtain the view and SO no one noticed the lady as she mounted the steep incline to the top of the rock. Once on the top the lady threw down her parasol and hat and walking to the Sound edge of the rock threw herself into the water. An alarm was at once created among the visitors at the beach and 8 crowd soon gathered on the rock. When the woman rose to the surface she made no attempt to save herself, but sank again, and she was just going under for the third time when two men in light
