An Italian, name unknown, who has
been only two weeks in the country, while
at work in the picker room of the Wey-
bosset mills at III A. NJ. to-day, had his
hand caught in the machinery. The
thumb of the left hand was torn off and
the index finger left hanging by shred,
so that the ligament had TO be cut at the
wrist. The wrist was also broken.
Another one year benefit order has failed
to meet its obligations, consequently there
is sorrow in the hearts of just eighteen
over-sanguine Johnstonites to-day. About
year ago the Mutual One Year Benefit
Order of Boston organized n lodge in
Johnston TO be known as the Olneyville
Lodge, No. ~ with large and enthusias-
tic membership. They were informed
that each would receive in twelve months
500 for which they would pay about fif-
teen assessments, at 50 an ASSESS
ment, and s. for admission fees,
They jumped at this plausible offer and
on September TO- a number of citizens of
the town took certificates on the guaran-
tee when due $l00 would be paid. How
ever as time sped apace the assessments
began To roll In faster and faster till in
stead of fifteen the number was increased
To about thirty, making an aggregate of
SC5. The twelve months including thirty
days after maturity of certificates have
expired and the long anticipated gold still
cleaves with the utmost tenacity TO the
to Boston to-day To confer with the
Supreme Treasurer, the final resource.
The Supreme Officers were expected to be
present at the meeting last night but like
the letter" the officers and the 81 800
that they longed for were not there.
Robert Taylor, one of the eighteen, took
out certificate n year ago last September
and another last December, paying 500 on
the first and Si2j on the second. He will
possibly get 500, whereas he has already
payed in Sl07.50 This is one instance of
the confidence evinced at the time of the
lodges formation.
