BADLY BROKEN UP.
South Fitchburg Man
Is at Clinton
Hospital.
FELL TWENTY FEET FROM A WALL.
Saved From Drowning By a
Friend-W Worcester q
Clinton's Big Day.

Clinton, July Flames Dover, Is
years old, of South Fitchburg, was
found at the foot of the stone wall on
ton Worsted company's mill, at 2
o'clock this morning, badly cut, broken
and bruised.
Counterpart brook crosses Water
street at this point. A wall 20 feet high
bounds the road on the left.
How Dover came to the neighborhood
at this hour no one knows. But he
managed to fall over the wall and al
most into the brook, in which, in his
condition, he would inevitably have
been drowned.
George Waller of Fitchburg, a friend
of Dover, was in the neighborhood.
He heard Dover scream for help and
called officer George L, Greene The
officer procured a team and brought
Dover to the police station. The work
of getting him back into the road was
difficult however.
At the police station Dover was laid
out on one of the tables to receive first
aid. This was given by DR.. George l..
Tobey. Dr. Tobey found the injured
mans condition so serious that he sent
him to the Clinton hospital.
Dover has sustained two great cuts
on the forehead His nose was cut and
broken, his left wrist was broken and
his right hand badly cut. His legs and
some of his ribs We're injured.
At the hospital he was comfortable
this evening. He will recover but he
will carry record of the fall on his
person the remainder of his life.
The police think that Dover had been
sleeping in Dinsmore's coal yard. He
was comfortably dressed, and appar-
emily respectable fellow.
Chief Bates men made the usual
haul of DRINKS over Saturday night and
Sunday. Seven were in the cell room
at o'clock this evening, including Ann
Connors, a woman, 40 years old. The
police found Ann raising a rumpus on
Sterling street last night and they took
her in. Ordinarily she is a hard-work-
ing woman. The police have much
sympathy for her.
r. Wunker and Daniel Mack, hailing
from Fitchburg, were arrested at the
depot by Officer Joseph Lawson They
were making things hum on the plat
forms. Jerry Donovan, a hostler for
Moulton & O'Mahoney; John Murphy,
Andrew Cilley and John kelliher make
up the seven. Cilley is a Worcester
man. He is employed at the Sterling
camp ground. Kelliher was arrested
while trying to beat his wife, and upon
her complaint.
Work on the new police station has
proceeded so far that people begin to
realize what an architectural enormity
the place is going to be. An addition
is being built out from the cell rooms,
for which the foundations are already
laid, which will make the station look
from High street hike the rear end of
a row of tenements in New York. city
The narrow, old and dirty little
building will look funnier than ever
the police think, when this addition is
finished. Contractor WEIGH began the
work of tearing the roof from the cell
room yesterday. That part of the build
ing viii be carried UP another Story
and be made larger by it's own size by
the addition.
J. B. Lewis, a Boston shoe manufac-
turer, gave a temperance talk in the
Methodist church beginning at o'clock
this evening, on the subject 1.-THE father
and mother of crime" The talk was
argumentative and denunciatory. He
said that here in Clinton liquor was
other causes combined, and that the
same was true of crime everywhere in
this country. An audience of good size
heard the talk. The seats were free
and no collection was taken.
IL the Worcester and Clinton Street
Railway is not already CARRYING more
persons In and out of Worcester than
any other suburban trolley line, it is
at least near the first rank. Today
the traffic was enormous. All the af-
ternoon and late into the evening
every open car was full, and a closed
car followed behind each open, to take
the overflow. The additional feed wire
demonstrated its presence on the Chm
ton end of the line. But on the Wor-
cester end, the power was at moments
hardly sufficient for the work it had
to do. Conservative men In business
here predict that the stock of the com
pany will touch $50 before the end of
the year. The receipts of the road since
summer began justify the assertion
that it will be a large dividend payer.
During the present week, or early
next week, Busch Bros, the contrac-
tors, who are doing the preliminary
work on the big dam, expect to turn
the water from the flume into a new
channel, which will carry 1t around the

ging for bed rock. When they reach the
rock they will begin to lay the foun-
dation for the dam. The mason work
to be constructed by them will under
lie the new flume, through which the
water will be discharged at a point
below the dam, while the whole of the
foundation is put in. The contractors
will have so men at work

The boxes with the combination locks
that have been put into the new pest

Postmaster Charles S. Stevens more.
The duty Of explaining the lock to each
user, falls upon him. The thing is sim

letters in each combination, and nc
more. One is a pointer letter, and the
other dial letter. If the combination
