John Gilberg's Body
Mangled By Muir
derous Gears.
ACCIDENT AT QUINSIGAMOND.
Sight Was SO Horrible
That Fellow Employees
Stop Work.

A horrible accident occurred at the
American steel and wire works at Quin-
sigamond, yesterday afternoon, when
John Gilberg, an employee in the mills,
was crushed to death by the gears of a
tempering machine. The accident is
one that will not be soon forgotten
by those who witnessed it. Gilberg
was at work on the machine and in
some unaccountable manner his jumper
became caught in the large gears of
the machine. and he was quickly drawn
to his death
AS he was caught, he uttered pierre
ing scream and his fellow employees
rushed to his machine, only to see him
drawn into the grasp of the murderous
gears. The machine was stopped as
quickly as possible, and an effort was
wedged in so tightly that an axe had
to be used in order to get the body
out
The gears of the machine were bro
ken with the axe, and the body was
drawn out and taken into the office of
the mills, and DR.. Currier sent for but
when he arrived, he pronounced Gill
berg dead. A sister of the dead man,
Miss Annie Gilberg, of Chatham street,
was notified, and the body was taken
to Bergstrom's undertaking rooms on
Thomas street
Gilbergs breast was crushed and
bruised in a frightful manner, and the
imprints of the gears could be seen
from the middle of the breast around
to the spine. A large piece of his
breast was torn out, leaving his kid
neys and ribs exposed. A large pool of
dent occurred.
The machine that killed Gilberg is a
temperer and reel combined, and has
large gears on the Gle about three feet
in diameter. 1t IS in these gears
that he was caught. The gears are
about four feet from the floor and are
without covering. which accounts for
the accident.
Gilberg was born in Sweden in 1880,
and came to this country Sept. Z, 1897.
He boarded with an aunt Mrs. Amanda
Sandberg, of AZ Esther street, and soon
after arriving in this country, he Sc
cured work in the yard of the wire
mills, and aboutA year ago he went to
work in the spring shop of the
mills. He leaves a sister and three
aunts, Mrs. Sandberg of Esther street,
with whom he boarded, Mrs. A. Errick-
son of Belmont street, and Mrs. Jo-
hanna Steinberg of Holden. The sis
ter was so overcome by grief that the
funeral arrangements will not be made
until today Several of Gilbergs fell
low employees who saw the accident
were so overcome that they had to stop
work.

own kind, though not the sort that
some of his rivals might have put into

complete, was evidenced by the fervor
of the applause.
De Pachmann returned not unwilling

coaxed the piano for an exquisite per

quality of her voice. her temperament

pianistics and calisthenics constituted
the masterpiece of the afternoon con-
cert. To say that he is unique, mimi
table and in his way wonderful, is to
state but platitude. Naturally, he
chose a Chopin concerto--in this case
the more familiar one in F minor-for
his temperance in Worcester. There
is supposed to be peculiar propriety in
this, because De Pachmann is esteemed
q gifted exponent of the great Pole,

Madrid Sept 2S.-The Spanish cabi-

of irreconcilable differences among the
ministers regarding proposals for ma
tional defenses. This decision was
reached. The discussion Of the subject
under consideration was the scheme
of the minister of war, Lieut., Polavieja,
for an extraordinary credit to be used
in increasing and strengthening from

The minister of finance, Senor-Wtlla-

suggestions of Gen. Polavieja, and a
ministerial crisis followed. The pre-
mier. Senior Don Francisco Silvela, will
therefore go tomorrow to San Sebastian
to place the resignation of the entire
cabinet in the hands of the queen
regent.
The Silvela ministry. which was con-
