CONGRATULATIONS.

) The Board of Trade is now al
: established fact, and upon the sue
, cess of its efforts in this direction
The TINES heartily congratulate'
T itself and the community at large
! When the subject was first
preached, several weeks ago, the
editor received several expressions
otapprobation from influential bus.
! iGess men which encouraged the pa
per to persist in its plea and urge
the establishment of SUCH an insti-
tuition with more and more en-
phasis until public interest was
aroused to the extent of enlisting
the personal efforts of men who
are accustomed to carry through
what they undertake. The cry5-
talization of the scheme was
brought about finally by the ac-
ton of Mr.. j. A. Gaboury, who
laid business aside and devoted
himself for day to the task Of
circulating the agreement which
was published in a recent issue of
The TINES. Of course, while this
agreement was readily signel by
almost every man to whom it was
submitted, there yet remained a
great number whom it wes i'm
possible to see, and whose names,
therefore, do not appear upon the
agreement, Many of these, as
well as those who originally signed
were present at the two meetings
held, and either signed as mem
bers of the Board of Trade or, by
their presence, expressed their
sympathy with the movement ana
endorsement of it's object. Thes
lists are still open for signatures,
md can be seen by applying to the !
secretary Of the Board of Direc- |
ors, Mr.. j. D. Smith. Some of
he objects and purposes Of the !
Board will be understood upon t
the constitution and COM J
littees appointed. The province !

ELECTRICAL WORKERS BALL
A Brilliant Display Of Designs in
Colored Lights

The electrical display at the ball of the
local union of the Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, given at Armory hall last even
ing, was decidedly the most beautiful ever
seen in the city at any social function. The
hall was profusely and tastefully decorated
with large and small flags. shields and
other military emblems which added to the
effect of the numerous electric lights. I'M
mediately opposite the entrance, on the
gallery, the word welcome on a red, white
and blue semicircle was formed of lights
of the same colours On the south side Of
the large hall on a black background, a
mammoth design was formed Stimulating
an electric light globe in gold and white
lights. The letters U. b. K. w., L. U. 61,
in colored lights interspersed, shown out
brilliantly. the whole being worked by a
flash, machine that kept a stream of color
constantly in motion from the 500 lights it
contained. In the northwest corner an i'm
mense crescent was suspended containing
300 gold-colored lights. On the crescent
an owl perched, gazing serenely at the
crowd. and above large star containing
300 lamps, glowed in brilliant color. Far
ther down in the hall large shield in red,
white and blue, was another design that at
tracted the admiration of the guests. Four
streamers of lights in red, white and blue
extended from the corners of the room to
the chandelier in the center The whole
elaborate arrangement represents six
weeks labor of the local union done at
night Sundays and in leisure moments.
This is the first ball given by the organ
ization and on future occasions they ex-
pect to add to the designs and make the
display still more brilliant.
The programs followed the design of the
order and were shaped like an incandes-
cent electric globe in gold and white. A
large number OF dancers were present fol
whom the Seventh regiment orchestra fnr.
nished music. The committees were as fol.

SERIOUSLY INJURED
James Boone Caught Under Fallin,
Wall

James Boone, a building contractor,
formerly a special police officer, was seri-
ously injured on Second street between
Main and Spring shortly after o'clock yes
terday morning. He had been engaged for
several weeks in repairing building on
the block mentioned. putting in a new
front and generally remodeling the place.
The work necessitated the laying of new
part of the wall and to do this a scaffold
had been erected. Boone was on the scaf-
fold looking over some of the work when
without warning a section of the new
masonry above fell upon him. He was
knocked down and fell with the scaffold to
the ground. He was partly covered with
bricks when his fellow workmen reached
him.
He was not unconscious but was suffer-
ing intense pain. The patrol wagon was
summoned and conveyed him to the receiv-
ing hospital. An examination of his in
juries by DR.. Hagan revealed the fact that
the pelvic bone had been fractured and there
were indications of other internal injuries.
His lower limbs were badly bruised. AS
soon as his injuries were dressed the suf-
ferer was placed on a stretcher and four
policemen carried him to his room on
Broadway near First street. The exact ex-
tent of his injuries can not be determined
for several days as it may take that long
for them to develop.

WITH ALL ON BOARD
The British Ship Asia Wrecked Off
Nantucket

BOSTON, Feb. 22.-There is scarcely a
doubt that the British ship Asia, bound
from Manila for this port, was wrecked
near Nantucket during the gales of the
past few days and that her entire crew of
twenty men have perished. This con-
clusion is not only borne out by wreckage
consisting of the stern of boat with
Asia" painted on it, yards and other ma
terials which were cast ashore at Mono
moy, but Captain Haley of this city tele-
phoned from woodruff tonight that while
the tugboat E. v. McCauley was steaming
out to the barge Excelsior, which lies sunk
on Handkerchief shoal, he saw positive
evidence Of the wreck of a large, square,
rugged vessel and recovered two bodies
from portion of dismantled hull.
Captain Haley stated that while off
Handkerchief lighthouse the tug passed
through large amount of wreckage, in
cluding bales of hemp, broken spars and
ship timbers. Drifting in the midst Of this
mass was a portion of the wreck on which
the bodies were lashed. 1t was discovered
that the bodies were those of man and
a little girl, about 10 or Il years old. They
were fast in the mizzen chains. The tug
quickly headed in the direction of the
wreck and the crew released the bodies
and the tug returned Immediately to Wood
hull, where the news was sent to this city.
A later message from Captain Haley
stated that the Wreckaee was fallen in with
about five miles northwest from the Hand
kerchief lightship. The starboard quarter
Of the vessel was all that remained intact
The mans body was hanging to the miz-
zen rigging with the child in his arms. The
body was not that Of Captain Dakin Of the
Asia, Judging from masters certificate
found on the clothing of the dead man. The
certificate was issued at Weymouth, N. s..
to John Cook. The man was of light COM
plexion, as was also the little girl, who
bore a striking resemblance to the man.
AS the tug was ordered away from Wood
hull the bodies were later taken ashore
and given into the keeping of the residents
to await the medical examiner. The ves-
sells cargo of hemp was consigned to
Henry w. Peabody Of Salem and consisted
Of about S725 bales. Thesvessel was valued
at about $4,000 and is thought to be only
partially insured. She was owned by Tay-
lor Bros. Of st John. N. b.
