FATAL ACCIDENT.
Metropolitan Meat Market Drivers
3 SpinalsCord Injured Yesterday.
Fr-ipbtenedz Horses the Cause of the
- Unfortunate Accident Chances
ofsRecovery small.

While driving one of the large meat
wagons in the rear of the Metropolitan
Meat Market, King street, at about 9:15
a. m. yesterday, Edward Stronberg, an
emuloye of the meat company, sustain
ed injuries TO his spine which will most
likely prove fatal.
He had Just driven into the back yard
with rather spirited team of horses,
and noticing that a native was follow
ing him in another wagon, backed to-
ward the shed adjoining the rear of the
market proper in order TO allow him to
pass. The horses became frightened
and backed up suddenly. The shed be-
ing low, one of the iron bolts holding
the Orders struck Stronberg in the back
of the neck and doubled him up on the
seat. This did not seem to hurt him
much, and he stood up to drive ahead.
The horses made a plunge and Stron-
berg's chest came into contact with the
large wooden girder. He was thrown
upon the seat, striking the back of this
with great force.
When Albert Hassis of the eMtropoli-
tan Meat Company rushed out to help
the man he was found with his head
hanging down toward the back part
of the wagon and his legs dangling side
ways toward the front. He was as limp
as a rag.
For a few moments Stronberg was
unconscious, but came to upon appli-
cation of water. He was examined by
DIR. Ryder and ordered removed to the
hospital, where it was found that his
backbone was dislocated and the spina
cord injured in the dOrsal region. The
dislocation was replaced. The great
danger comes from the injury to the
spinal cord, which in such cases usually
results in death. DR.. Ryder stated las
night that the chances for the mans re
covery were but small.

bench near the fence, Kaalokai would
have been crushed to death. AS it was,
the pole struck him in the back, injur-
ing him slightly.
An examination of the pole brought
to light a pretty state of affairs. The
part near the ground had rotted away,

diameter to support large pole which

of that institution at heart.
The Glass Day exercises of the class
of SO, including the normal class, took

of a number of interested guests. One
of the main features of the program
was the planting of a class tree, in

the graduates on matters of particular
interest to them, giving good advice
and wishing them God speed in their
