GREAT HARRINGTON.
A SERIOJS ACCIDENT.


 The adjacent town of Afford was thrown into general state of excite ment Friday evening by an accident which came near being fatal. The facts. as near as can be ascertained, are as fol- lows: The selectmen decided to lower the grade of a hill on the road between the house of John Decker and William Kelsey; rock, or rather part of long ledge extended across the road. In order to remove this, as quickly as possible. the selectmen secured the ser vices of George Burtis. an expert in blasting rocks with dynamite.
 The work began on the previous Tues day and was almost finished, when be- tween five and six o'clock Friday after noon the last cartridge was put in posi- tion. The fuse was lighted and in a short time the cap exploded but the car fridge failed to do it's work. NIT Burtis ordered the other workmen to keep at a safe distance and let him investigate alone. They waited several minutes when needless of danger William Slster took crow bar and thrust it into hole At once there was a great explosion and Slater was thrown several feet into the air. His clothing in front was torn from his body and all that part of bis person from his chest to his knees was bruised and blistered by the concussion and shower of falling rock, Pieces of rock also went through his arm and the flesh was cut in circle around his arm. He bled profusely and was pitable look ing object as he lay on the ground cry ing with pain.
 Close behind Slater at the moment of the explosion was George Olds,a specta- tor As the blast went off Olds was struck in the face with splintered rock and earth. He fell to the ground, probably blinded for life, and his face and eyes were blown full of dust, gravel and small bits of stone. The tip of one of his ears was cut off and his face was almost covered with blood, Other men only few feet away escaped injury.
 Immediately after the accident occur red Harrison Calkins, who is one of the selectmeE, ran to the house of Henry Ticknor, for a team. As soon as one could be hitched up It was driven to the scene, but in the meantime the team ei Sheldon Rose had arrived and Slater was carried home and placed in bed. Olds who is Q man of great determina- tion persisted in being led to his home, distance of almost a mile. On the way he stopped at Decker's and washed his face but his eyesight was not restor. ed. Both men are attended by Dr John Beebe of this town and it Is thought they will ultimately recover, thengh il is feared that the eyesight of Olds will ba seriously injured.

It Is strange phase in up-to- date rascality that has been developed in the cases of Edgar M. Clossey, the Winsted attorney, and Herman Clark, we'll known farmer, political wire-puller and schooner, well known figure also upon the streets of our neighboring village of Winsted. In the case of Clossey we find man who by sheer force of brazen cheek succeeded in securing the nomi- nation of justice of the peace, posed as 8 member of church and Sunday school, succeeded in being appointed as trustee of trust fund, and all the time while he was sworn official was actively plundering an estate, and work ing deep. damnable schemes to steal large estates from rlghtful heirs and owners. Conspiracy, perjury, fraud, forgery, embezzlement, all the basest means possible for this man to utilize, were used to attain his ends and aims. Clark, the other spirit in some of this diabolical work, and the conspirator in the attempt to steal two estates aggre- gating many thousands of dollars, has been prominent in political circles, 8 debaucher of the ballot box, purcbas- CT of votes, and an embezzler of town funds, and notwithstanding the full knowledge of this mans dishonesty, had friends who felt friendly enough towards him 10 assist him when the meshes of the law were being drawn around him [. But had Edgar M. Clossey not stolen, and had he not fled, he would have re- tained possession of the forged will of Miss Church, and in the natural course of events. he might have produced and probated his forged will ard with Miss Church dead and gone. the way might have been easy for him to have come into possession of her large estate. This man, not satisfied with his experience in the Brooks will matter, and nothing daunted, had the iron nerve to again conspire, and to again attempt to steal fortune upon which he had not the remotest claim or shadow of claim, even. The law has at last laid it's hands upon him. and closed career that is at once one of the most unique and novel in all the criminal history of Litchfeld county. Society at large will breathe easier, now that he is behind the bars, and men and women in advancing years, who have estates to transmit to others, can die in the knowledge that it will at least not be stolen by Attorney Edgar M. Clossey, nor the wheels of fraud and chicanery be set in motion by men like Clossey and Clark to rob the widow or the orphan of their heritage.
