 General News.
 There was Q terrible accident at H. L. Judd & Co.'S factory yesterday morning. Charles Downey, the seven- teen-year-old son of James Downey of Lexington avenue, went into one of the stock rooms where there is a vertical shafting connecting the room below with one above, and began rubbing the revolving shaft with his apron, which caught, and Downey was drawn up against the shaft, was thrown around over one hundred times before the power was stopped. The space be- tween the shafting and the wall is only about foot and the youth was terribly
 bruised against the wall. Drs Me Gaughey, Russell and Dennison were called and found a compound fracture of the right arm below the shoulder, a fracture at the left elbow, a fracture of the right thigh and the back of his head badly bruised. The boy was taken home and died at 3 o'clock in the after noon. Funeral Wednesday morning at o'clock.
 James N. Dick died late Sunday night at the home of his son-in-law, John Patterson, on Elm street, aged seventy four years. He was a member of Mon-
 tauk lodge, I. O. O. F., of Brooklyn. The funeral will occur Wednesday af- ternoon at o'clock. Accanaut lodge will have charge of the services. The
 death was the result of a shock of paralysis last week at Mulberry Point.
 He was brought home Saturday,
 Sunday afternoon G. A. Smith and six other bicyclists were riding on Townsend avenue, New Haven, and
 were speeding along all well together when some person from a dooryard threw an apple across the street and
 small dog came rushing across after it and was struck by Smiths wheel and badly hurt The rider was thrown to the ground but not seriously injured, but the bicycle was wrecked and had to be left in New Haven and it's owner
 came home by train. It was plain to all the bicyclists that the sending of the dog after the apple was intended to cause trouble for the wheelmen, as the apple was thrown after the first wheel had passed and the person who threw | it saw the others and evidently thought it would be great sport to get the poor l dog and wheels mixed up.
