Mr.. UNDERGRAVES IN DANGER.

Millbury. Aug. 1S.-Charles Hoyle,
son Of Edward Hoyle of West Nillbury,
badly burned his face today with oil of
vitriol He was pouring the vitriol out
of one jar into another when some of
it spilled and spattered on his face.
The vitriol spread all over his face
fand neck and one eye was badly
burned. He ran to a tub, where there
was some soap in a soft state and
quickly covered his face and neck with
the soap.
This was probably what saved Mr..
Hoyle from more serious injury. He
drove at once TO the office of DR.. c. A.
Church in Millbury Centre, and had
him treat his wounds DR.. Church
was seen by The Spy man tonight and
said that he did not anticipate any
thing serious.
Mr.. Hoyle is employed in the dye
works in the Edward Hoyle wooden
mills, and it was while he was at his
work that he received his burns. He
was resting as well as could be expect
ed tonight.
Silas Undergraves, an old resident of
this town, was overcome by the heat
today He was sitting on the steps of
his store on Main street, when he was
seen to fall from the steps and roll onto
the sidewalk. He was picked w and
carried into his home at the rear of
Main street, and DR.. G. A. Church was
summoned. He did all he could for
Mr.. Undergraves, but as he is an old
man his case is very berious, and DR..
Church called DR.. Robert Booth into
consultation. Late tonight the doctors
gave out TO The Spy man that they had
no hopes for Mr.. Undergraves' recovery
and did not think he would live through
the night. A late report was to the
effect that he was going from one con-
vulsion into another.
