DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Writing Pen in the Hand OF Washington
Jones Entered His Eye and
Destroyed His Sight

Ten-year-old Washington Jones, son
Of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Q. Jones, of
Archibald street, will be blind in the
right eye for life. This sad fact was
brought about by most peculiar ac-
cident on Friday afternoon. The lad
attends No 13 school and is a pupil in
Miss Richards room.
During the afternoon he had cause
to use a pen. While holding the pen
upside down. he turned his head TO
glance across the room. In turning
back, he jabbed the pen into the ball
of the eye.
The pen point penetrated the pupil
and his sight was destroyed. His pa
rents did not fully realize the true
state of affairs until the boy com
planned that he could not see with that
eye. A visit was made yesterday to
Dr. C. L. Frey who, after a full ex-
animation, made known the serious
ness of this unlucky accident.

KELLY SPEECHES. AGAIN
Strange Afilictlou Again Overtakes Him
at Hartford, Conn..Something About
His Troubles 10 This City.

Fred Kelly's odd ahliction is now
mystfying medical circles in Hartford,
Conn. Kelly, it will be recalled, went
to sleep at the Grand Central hotel, in
this city, one night last winter in per-
feet health and possessing all his
senses, and woke up in the morning
devoid of the power of speech. DIR.
p. II. Kearney, first, and the Lacka-
wanna hospital staff, later, made un-
successful attempts to restore his lost
faculty. While undergoing treatment
in Michigan hospital his speech sud-
denly returned to him and he went
his way rejoicing. Word now comes
from Hartford that he has again been
suddenly rendered speechless.
While here the doctors diagnosed
Kelly's case as an affection of the
nerves controlling the vocal organs.
He was struck with a hammer in the
throat a rumLer of years ago and for
some weeks was unable to make use of
his power of speech. The organs
themselves were not impaired but in
some way, not definitely understood
Kelly's nervous system, particularly
that part controlling the organs of
speech, was so affected that he at
times is unable to direct its funC-
tiOns.
The Lackawanna hospital physicians
claimed that Kellys afliiction was vir-
tually an hallucination. He simply
thought he couldn't talk. While he
was at the hospital his sight also left
him, or at least he claimed it had
The doctors We're satisfied from an ex-
animation of his organs of vision that
he could see as well as anyone and
proceeded to convince him that he
could.
Various experiments were resorted to
and finally one proved successful. He
was given slate and pencil and told
to write. He grOped for the pencil and
slate just like blind man. His writ
ing was in perfect alignment as good
as he was ordinarily capable Of This
and other like means were preserved
in and after q day or so he could see
again as well as ever. He could see
all the time but he didn't know it; it
was necessary to convince him that
he wasn't blind. His trouble with his
speech is of the very same character.
There is no suspicion of foxing. He
is simply suffering from a strange af-
fectation Of the will power.

Granite Cutters Strike at Barre

BARRE, VT, March 81. There are troubles
among the granite cutters of this district,
and to settle them Mr.. E. R. Fletcher, of the
Fletcher Granite Company, at St. Albans
was in town to-day, in conference with the
Executive Committee of the Barre Granite
Manufacturers Association, of which this
firm is a member. Men employed by the
Fletcher Company at Hardwick left work
this morning, because the company had not
agreed to a new scale of prices. Mr.. Fletcher
states that in December last the local cut
tiers union notified the company that it
would want schedule on March | ,
but no changes were specified. On this lat
ter date the company received an official
notice that the union would insist on the
company signing the regular agreement in
figuring on the work for the Chicago Post
Office, which included an item that wages
should be 45 cents an hour for an eight-hour
day.
The company is member of the n E.
Granite manufacturers Association, and is
obliged to abide by schedule of prices
adopted by the Barre Association and Barre
Union.
The result of Mr.. Fletchers conference
was that the committee objected to his sign
ing any individual agreement, as it would be
the initial step toward granting an eight-hour
day for granite cutters. The Fletcher
Company is willing to sign the unions new
agreement if other manufacturers will do
likewise, but there is no evidence of a
NOV ement to that effect in other localities.
The Chicago Post Office contract will
amount to 100000 and calls for light gray
granite. AS there is no granite of this kind
west of the Hudson, the contract must come
to New England.

A Steamboat Sensation.
Arrest of the Fireman and one of the Owners of
the Castine.

inc C8Stjnos
Deputy Sheriff John NJ. Vogell of Castine
came to Belfast last Thursday and arrested
Edward L. Morse, resident of Castine, en-
ployed as fireman on steamer Castine now
at this port undergoing repairs. Morse was
charged with receiving stolen goods. He
was taken to Castine and at a private hear
ing there Thursday evening made disclos-
ures that led to the arrest in Belfast Friday
morning of A. Perry Coombs, engineer of
the Castine and one of her owners, and he
was taken to Castine on the steamer Rock
land. A Castine special under date of April
I'd to the Bangor Daily News gives the fol-
lowing particulars:
Morses story was to the effect that
Coombs engineered the theving enterprise
and used Morse's house in Castine as a hid
ing place for the plunder.
The first information in the case which
led to the arrest of Morse, was furnished by
Morse's wife, who is said to have told Hon.
George M. Warren that the stolen goods
We're secreted in her house. When Coombs
was brought up for hearing here this fore
noon, IN the presence of a crowd Of 800 peo-
pie, Morse let out another sensation. He
said in his testimony that when he and
Coombs heard Mrs. Morse had given the
had secreted in the house into bag and
sunk it i'll Castine harbor.
The truth of this testimony was proved
this evening, when the bag was raised from
the bottom of the harbor, and found to con-
tain some of the goods stolen from the
freight of the steamer Castine. There were
several pairs of trousers, meat chopper,
some suspenders and other articles.
The result of the hearing was that Morse
was sentenced to 90 days in Jail, with costs,
mittimus suspended, while Coombs was
held in $500 for trial at the April term in
Ellsworth. He gave bail and was released
e. II. Hooper and Albert Clark are his
bondsmen.
All kinds of stories are told in connection
with this case. The Coombs Bros. declare that
it is only a plot of an opposition steamboat
line to drive them out of business on the
Belfast and Castine route another story is
that it is clear case of systematic robbery,
and that Morses wife gave it away because
Coombs had made trouble between herself
aud husband. The stealing took place be-
fore the Coombs Brothers bought the Cas-
tine, last fall. At the time Capt. Smallidge,
now OF the opposition boat Silver Star, was
master of the Castine and Coombs was
employed on her.
The Hancock county S. j. Court opens in
Ellsworth next Tuesday.
