Engineer Jones, while examining some steam
mines in the cell room last Saturday met with
quite a severe and painful accident. La stepping
upon one of the radiators it tipped over, throwing
MIR. Jones violently upon the stone flags, cutting
and bruising one OF his hands in a painful
manner.
The new rule adopted for marching out OF
the dining room permits every man to reach his
gang by the shortest route, instead of walking
from one end of the cell room to the other and
then back again as some were unavOidably
compelled to do under the old custom. The new
method works admirably.
