THE YEARLY EXPENSES.
In our last report the sum of 5000 was
given as sufficient TO cover the actual
current expenses for the year now closing.
The report of the Secretary shows mat
the current expenses for this year was
S2S0073. which proves that our estimate
was about correct The average number
of inmates cared for during the past year
may be put at twenty, which makes the
Der capita cost OF maintaining less than
$3.50 This shows that as the number IN
creases the per capita cost is reduced.
This amount of 5000 was attempted TO
be provided by the Grand Lodge by an
increase Of the per capita tax p cents,

RIB " AS BROKEN.

He Was Knocked From a Wagon on

A Sudden Turn Brought Him In
Front of the Car.

Eugene Bender, the junior member of
the firm of Bender Brothers Il Company,
dealers in oils paints, ETC., at 7S9 West
minister street, narrowly escaped being
killed by an electric car this morning
about o'clock.
Mr.. Bender had just loaded in some ar
ticles into his delivery wagon and started
TO get into the middle OF the street, when
the wagon was struck by an Olneyville
car going from the city The car was in
charge OF conductor John Potter and the
motorman was Andrew Fiske. The car
was stopped before much damage was
done, but the force of the collision had
thrown the wagon across the down town
track and the wagon was struck again by
a car bound for the city. Mr.. Bendor was
at this time thrown out. Both cars had
come TO a standstill and the conductors
picked Mr.. Bender up and carried him
into his store.
Mr.. Baldwin, one of the clerks, ran
into John M. Deans store and procured
a cot, and Mr.. Bender was placed upon
this Dr. Gleason was called and found
that Mr.. Bender was severely injured, and
sent for the ambulance and he was taken
TO his home at Edgewood. Here DIR.
Gleason made a partial examination and
found that at least one rib on the left side
had been broken. The condition OF Mr..
Bender was such as TO make further ex-
animation impractical for the time being.
Mr.. Bender was not unconscious at any
time, and DIR. Gleason says that he is not
injured internally.
