SOUTH SIDE NEWS.

Frank Watkins, of Brook street sus-
tanned very painful laceration of the
face yesterday morning in q very Pc
culiar manner. He was walking around
in his yard and noticed a pin on the
ground. He stopped to pick 1t UP, and
when about to resume an erect position
again sharp, rusty spike that pro-
truded from a beam that stood against
the fence, pierced the flesh under the
eye. The sudden sensation caused him
to spring back quickly, but the sharp
iron had taken a hold and the force of
his movement was such that a long
deep, ragged cash was torn in the
flesh across the cheek. Dr. Manley was
sent for and found Mr.. Watkins suffer-
ing intense pain. The physician found
1t necessary to use ten stitches in sew
ing up the wound, and it was very
difficult to bandage it. Blood poisoning
is not feared by DIR. Manley, but he
stated that it is a very dangerous in
jury. Neither is 1t thought that the
sight of the eye will be affected. The
depth of the cut and the ragged way
in which 1t is torn are certain to leave
a very ugly scar on Mr.. Watkins face.
Five weeks ago Mrs. John Kelley, of
Birch street. was buried, and on Thurs
day following her son, Martin became
Ill of pneumonia. He was a respected
young man and his illness was a source
of much regret to all who knew him.
Symptoms of pleurisy set in and he be-
came dangerously i'll. But week ago
he gained strength and grew well
enough to be able to walk around the
house. Saturday morning ha uou
around as usual and ate a hearty break
fast. A half hour later he had to re-
turn to bed and took such sudden
change that he died in a half-hour
The funeral will take place Tuesday.
