Another serious accident occurred Sat-
urday evening at the dark and accident
inviting point midway between Union and
Willard streets on Pearl This time the
victim was Mr.. John Cosgrff, who resides
In the house recently purchased of ]. Il.
Peck. He was returning from his farm
in South Burlington at about p. m. and
on turning slowly into his driveway, was
run into by Mr.. w. II. Burnham, who
doubtless could not see him. Mr.. Cosgrirf
was driving a strong spirited horse which
in its fright pulled him over the dash
a,,I 1T. II
to the ground against the curbing. Kind
neighbors and passersby picked him up
and carried him into his house, and Drs.
Wheeler and Grnnell were summoned.
1t was found that he had sustained a dis
location of the collar bone, had three ribs
broken and that his hip was injured some
what. Mr.. Cosgrif is a large. heavy
man. and the shock was very great to his
physical strength. Everything possible
however, was done for his comfort and
last evening he was resting as well as
could be expected and, If no internal in
juries have been sustained. 1t is thought
he will recover after reasonable time.
The shafts and one wheel Of the wagon
were wrecked. This Is the third accident
to occur at this point, and a recent petit
ton for an electric light was vetoed by
the mayor on the ground that as there
was a prospect of Green street being ex-
tended it would be advisable to walt.
