A RumOred Change

There are rurnors of a change in the
management of the State school at Whit
tier. The man most frequently mentioned
in connection with the superintendency is
Major c. T. Meredith, principal of the
High school at Azusa.
Should the position become vacant it will
probably be filed by the appointment of
some local educational worker. Major
Meredith has filled many important posi-
tions with great credit.

A PHOTOGRAPHERS MIsHAP.

Accidents such as that which 1t is stated just happened to an American clergyman at Dieppe are certainly out of the common run. A passenger by the Newhaven-Dieppe route to Paris who witnessed it relates the occurrence. As the steamboat Rouen was coming alongside the quay, the clergyman in question amused himself taking pho tographic views of the vessel and the passengers as they landed He did this from the landing stage, standing close to one of the steam cranes. Precisely at the moment when the last passenger stepped off the ship, the crane was, it is related, put into motion without warning and with very unpleasant consequences for the clergyman The body of the crane swung round, and the unlucky photographer camera in hand, was precipitated on the quay be- fore he had time to realize what had happened. Had it not been low tide, which prevented the steamer being close alongside, it is probable the acci- dent would have been attended with more serious consequences than it was, since the victim of it would in all like lihood have fallen upon the deck in- stead of going head foremost into the water after a fall of forty feet He was, we read, without much difficulty rescued from his unpleasant position, and conveyed to a hotel with a broken leg. Such. briefly put, Is the incident. We should be inclined to say that there was negligence on the part of some one in setting the crane in motion without first ascertaining whether any one was in dangerous proximity to it-London Standard

and Clarissa Adams
 On August F and 13 occurred the re- union of the descendants of Uziel and Clarissa Adams at the homestead in South Wethersfeld now occupied by the grandson, Ebenezer G. Adams, and family.
 The relatives began to arrive at an early hour until seventy-eight were registered from Terryville, Canaan East Windsor, Broad Brook, Ware house Point, New Haven, Rockville, South Wethersfield, Plantsville, North Somers and Wethersfield representing four generations from the great aunt of seventy nine years to the little child of one year.
 Greetings, "reminiscences and taking pictures of the group occupied the time until dinner was announced, when all assembled under the old home roof and Alfred J. Adams of Terryville invoked the divine blessing.
 At the business meeting, of which Henry NJ. Adams of Warehouse Point was chairman, reports of previous re- unions were read, the names of those who have passed away, regrets from absent ones and the names of those present. An association was formed to perpetuate the reunions, and the fol- lowing officers were chosen: President, Henry M. Adams of Warehouse Point; vice president, Ebenezer G.
