ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
William Carey Falls Thirty Feet and Die
of His Injuries.

William Carey Falls Thirty Feet and Dies
of His Injuries.
William Carey fell down the elevator
shaft at Smith s. Bourn's factory in
Hartford on Saturday morning and died
of his injuries at the hospital Saturday
afternoon. Carey was 10 years old and
lived in Parkville. He was on the second
floor of the building and tried to stop
the elevator, which was going by him,
catching it with his hands. His weight
was not sufficient to do this and he was
carried up. At the third floor he had
either to let go or have his hands crush
ed between the elevator and the door
sill. He let go and fell thirty feet to
concrete floor. In falling he turned over
and struck on his head, fracturing his
skull. He was taken to the hospital i'm
the ambulance, where all that was pos
sible was done for him, but without
avail. :,
The dead and emaciated body of John
Abbey, a printer, was found Saturday
I in the house No. 217h Water street, New
Haven. The finder notified Coroner
Mix who visited the house and made an
investigation. He learned that the pre-
vious Sunday afternoon, while drunk,
Abbey tried to draw a bucket of water
from a well and fell against one of the
we'll posts. As the fall stunned him,
Abbey was helped into the house. Not
much was seen of him after that time.
Medical Examiner White found that the
man had died of dyspepsia-or starvation,
as he had eaten nothing for two weeks.
Frank Doyle, brakeman on the
Housat onic road, was killed last night
by being thrown from freight train on
which he was employed as tail brake
man at Merwinsville, short distance
from New Milford. He was standing on
the car ahead of the cabooseo when he
| lost his balance and fell between the
| cars. His legs were crushed and he was
also badly mangled. He was removed
to the New Milford house where he died
about 5 o'clock this morning. He was
\ 81 years of age, single, and resided at
West Stockbridge, Mass.
| Oliver Powe, carpenter of Ansonia,
fell a distance of twenty feet to the
ground Saturday afternoon. He was at
work on a house and while walking
along the staging missed his footing and
fell to the ground. He escaped without
any bones being broken but was badly
bruised. He will recover.
Mrs Jane Cable of Danbury, aged 80,
fell down stairs this morning and was
instantly killed, her skull being frac-
tured and her neck broken.

In Sunday paper issued yesterday,
there appeared an article accusing me of
assaulting James Prior of 81 Bishop
street land giving jealousy as the reason.
l wish to deny publicly the entire ar
ticle, except that part of 1t which states
that struck Mr. Prior. He and L are
neighbors. He belongs to the American
band. belong to the Enterprise band.
l had heard that he had said that the
Enterprise band did not amount to any
thing, and, when slightly under the in
fiuence of liquor, 1 charged him with
making such a statement and struck
him, backing his eye. At the time he
was going to see Mrs Mclaughlin. an in
valid who lives in the tenement over me,
and met him just as he was going up
stairs. My wife had no interest in the
matter, was not concerned in it, and
there was no propriety in bringing her
name into the matter at all. There was
no jealousy on my part, and no reason
for my being jealous, so far as l know.
The whole trouble was about the band,
and what in my excited condition,
thought was an insult to it.

KEILY SAYS


That the great wheat speculstor Hutch
inson has gone crazy according to the lat
est reports. He had been buying up all
the wheat on the market he could get hold
of, thinking to make big profit by selling
at higher profit and so make -four cost
more. However, when he read Kelly's ad-
vertisement in the DEMOCRAT and saw
how much wheat was going to be raised
this year, it overbalanced his mind and
he failed to meet his margins. Therefore
it is with the greatest pleasure that Kelly
informs the people of this city that wheat
has dropped 6 cents per bushel and -four
20 cents per barrel.
Kelly says further that if some butcher
of this city would only show that the in
crease of beef for 1891 was going to be as
large proportionately as wheat is going to
be, he would probably drive some of the
Chicago meat men crazy, and then the
people would be able to buy meat at its &C.
tual value. Grain has dropped, why
should beef be high
Kelly opens his famous Tutti-Frutti Ice
Cream parlor to-day OF his North Main
street store. This delicious ieecream
is frozen by electricity, and every
body knows the effect of electricity on the
nerves.
Fresh Eggs are now selling for 90 cents
dozen. This is cheaper than meat. If
you will buy Kelly's genuine New Eng
land Bread you win never bake.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Saturdays Game u Model One in Every
Respect.
Every mothers son of the 700 cranks
who witnessed the opening of the league
season in this city, Saturday. is willing
to acknowledge that the Waterburys
fielded sharply, batted hard and fought
a good uphill game. Their weak point
seemed to be in base running and coach
ing, especially the latter. Messer gave
the benefit of two or three doubts to the
visitors, but his work in the main was
fair. Condoff, although suffering from
a lame arm, pitched a very strong game
for eight innings. He was. touched mp
in the ninth and came within an ace of
losing the game. With the exception of
Bell, the Ansonias played a good game.
The score follows:

SACRED CONCERT.
Prof Bonn and His Choir Entertain
Large Audience.

Prof Bonn and His Choir Entertain a
Large Audience.
An audience of fully 700 people at
tended the sacred concert given in st
Patrick's hall last evening under the
auspices of the Immaculate Conception
church choir. Part first opened with a
chorus, "Silent, Oh Moyle," one of
Moore's famous melodies. 1t was rem
dered in fine style, as was 1.-The Young
Balfe. The duet ''See the Pale Moon"
by Miss Russell and Miss Somers merited
and received spontaneous burst of
applause. Prof Bonn's piano sUlo, valse
OPP 40, Chopin, called forth an encore.
Both selections were of the highest
order. Prof Bonn's play ing is crisp and
breezy and possesses a smoothnesS and
finish rarely found in one so young.
The "Benedictus'' from the st Cecilia
mass, by Gouuod and the difficult
t.Infiammatus"f from Rossini's 'Stahat Ma
gramme. Part second consisted of ex-
cerpts from 1.-The Redemption" the
soloists being the Misses Grimes,
Somers, Herr and Dunn. The ascension
chorus was one of the best numbers of
this part. and the soprano solo by Miss
Grimes was worthy of special mention.
just enough of the work was given to
make the audience hunger for more,
and the something that seemed wanting
was an orchestra, for in no other work
of Gounod is the wonderful health and
graphic power of his Instrumentation SC
developed as in THE Redemption. "
Altogether the concert was one woI thy
of high praise, given as it was by q
small chorus without the aid of profes.
sional singers, and but little time
having been spent in its preparation.

feared the disease will become epidemic.
Each day the number of applicants for
admission to the hospitals is increasing,
and majority are suffering from typhoid
or related fevers. The hospitals are taxed
to their utmost capacity, and several of
them have been obliged to turn away
patients. This outbreak is believed to be
