Tuesday, April 30, the centenary of the inauguration of George Washington as first president of these great and glo- rious United States, was legal holiday, though few observed it. In accordance with the proclamation and the Bishops request, services were held at Trinity and St Johns at a m and mass was celebrated at St Rose. Bishop Williams sent out service which was followed in the Episcopal churches, where other de- nominations participated and almost rem dered them union services. Rev A. r. Chapman of St Johns gave an appropri- ate sermon and all music was in accord with the day and it's associations. Nei- ther the Mantle nor the Rubber shops were closed and the stores were open. School children, however, had vacation. Decorations were neither profuse nor elaborate. In the Street, E. F. Hawley, Dr E. M. Smith, N. B. Gloyek, l.. B. Booth, Rev G. NJ.

A Chanter of Accidents.

Three accidents have occurred in the Hook within few days, all at the shops and all painful and serious enough to prevent work for some time. When repairing or splicing old rubber belts at the Rubber factory, a cement containing a highly infiammable compo- sition of camphene is used and care must be exercised lest the fumes become ig- nited. Sunday morning, while repairing an old belt, John Cribbins allowed the cement, which he was spreading on the belt and which covered his hands, too near the lamp and it caught fire. The flames attacked his left hand and he at. tempted to smother them with his right but only succeeded in burning both hands. Dr Sites, who was hastily sum moned, found that his hands, especially | the thumb and forefinger on the lef hand, were deeply burned and will b scared. He will not be able to work fol
 several weeks.
 Connor Haugh is another young mal
 who was hurt at the Rubber. He wa feeding strips of rubber into the hos
 machine, when he inadvertently touche
 the keen blade of knife used to cut rut
 Der. Just as he dropped 1t, a felloy workman named Mack drew the knif toward him and deep gash was cut
 the palm of Haugh's hand. Dr Stite
 was obliged to take several stitches t close the wound.
 : While working in the Mantle mill:
 William Costello caught his hand in
 cog and the end of the middle finger c [ on the right hand was badly cut an ], crushed. Dr Sites was called to dres
 the wound.
 z c. c. BlalSeman has moved from Pa 7 estine to the Stephen Blackman plac ;. his fathers old home and will repair :, putting in new window castings and si '. ing 1t anew.
