AS Miss Honora Eagan, mother superior
of st. Michael's Catholic school, was as
cending flight of stairs last week Wednes-
day evening with two pals of boiling water,
she fell and the contents of the pals were
thrown upon her. Her face, arms, neck
and body were terribly scalded, some of the
flesh coming off when her clothes were re-
moved. Her injuries will not prove fatal
but her sufferings have been dreadful.
THOSE who resided in the building on
East State street which was damaged by
fire last week Tuesday desire us to express
their gratitude for the efforts, in whatever
direction they were exerted, of the mem
bers of the engine and hose companies and
all who assisted in the removal OF personal
property from the burning building or the
eXtin9uishing of the flames. Berlin water
should, and doubtless does, come in for its
full share of their gratitude.

THE cause of the death of little Edith,
daughter of James and Nellie c. Allen,
which occurred at her home on Christmas
eve, is somewhat of a mystery. She was a
bright, healthy child and her illness began
only Thursday morning. She had been
coasting with playmateS and sustained ap-
parently slight injuries by being thrown
from her sled. After the accident she con-
tinued to enjoy the sport but became i'll
later in the day. and it is not certainly
known whether her death was the result of
| the accident or is attributable to some brain
difficulty
