EASTER "CHICKS."

All persons who had occasion to go
near the corner of State and Bradley
streets last week were attracted to one
of the show windows of Druggist Will
lam A. Bronsons store. A miniature
"Hotel for Chickens" was deliberately
and tastefully constructed and on the
'graveled walks of said hotel numer-
Gus chickens Of rich and rare colors and
dazzling plumage strutted around and
disported themselves with perfect free
dom and contentment. Men, women
and children stopped to gaze at the
novel scene, and Mr.. Bronson's clerks

BURIED FOR HOURS IN A WE'LL

There Were Thirty Feet of Water in 1t
Was Rescued Alive and Almost I'm
injured.
Frank Hogan went down a well after
a cat in Berlin Saturday, and the well
cayed in on him. He was inferred near
ly five hours and no one expected that
he would be alive when rescued, out
he was, and very much so, at that. ne
cat was dead when Mr.. Hogan went
after it. and it's condition remains I'M
changed.
The accident occurred at 2:3O in the
afternoon. Mr.. Hogan had decided
that the remains of the defunct cat in
the well should be removed, and ne SET
about arranging to go down a1ter IT,
He provided himself with stout rope,
which he crawled down about twenty
feet. He then anchored himself and
was probing about for the cat when Oh
sudden the top walls and the sides Oh
the we'll seemed to cave in prec1pltate-
ly. There are thirty feet of water IN
the well, and Hogan thought he was
doomed. and he really was saved only
by a miracle. Some projecting rocks
near the surface caught a shower of the
dirt and formed a sort of roof over his
head less than six feet from the sur
face of the water. Finding that his eff
forts to break through only increased
his danger Hogan secured a good FOOT
hold in the side of the well and then
waited.
The accident was soon discovered, and
the men about the Connecticut Valley
peach orchard and a number OF neigh
bors set in to dig out the unfortunate
man, firmly convinced that he was
corpse when they would find him. Ho-
gan is one Of the foremen at the or
chard, and is very popular with the
men, and they did not spare themselves
in the digging. Two young men stuck
to the task until they were faint from
exhaustion and then they rebelled when
ordered to quit A matter connected
with the occurrence which aroused vol

two transfers who happened along.
They were East Berlin men and they
refused to aid in the rescue work. They

which were a sure indication that the

in their work and they soon had him
on top.
He was attended by DIR. w. w. Chris

pected announcement that Mr.. Hogan
did not have a broken bone in his
body. He was mass of bruises, how

The Easter services in all Of the city

all of the churches We're entirely in
keeping with the season Of joy and glad
ness, and in many of them were of the
most elaborate nature. Special musical

the churches. At st. Johns Episcopal
an effort was made to raise the sum of

AT SIT JOHN,s EPISCOPAL

The members of ST. Johns Episcopal
parish have reason to be proud of the
magnificent response made yesterday to
the appeal for contributions to a fund
which is being raised in an effort to
1iquidate a debt of $4,000. This debt
was for the most part contracted on the
occasion of the erection of the hand
some stone church at the corner of
Humphrey and orange streets, in which
the congregation now worships. The
vestry of the church were recently in
formed that Trinity parish had appro-
priated $4,000 from it's treasury as gift
to st. Johns to assist in paying off this
debt. This gift was, however, upon the
condition that the church raise the 9TH
err $4,000 This munificent offer urged
the members of st. Johns on to greater
efforts, and appeals in the matter were
generously responded to and something
over half of the $4,000 was pledged. Yes
terday was set as the day when fur
Their appeal should be made to the par
ishioners, and in response to TINS the
contributions at the morning service
were something over $1,000. This makes
the grand total, considering the gilt
from Trinity church, the pledges ana
the amount given in cash yesterday
over $4,000. Those who have been di-
rectly interested and engaged IN the
work of raising the money are hghiy
eratified at the response made to their
appeals, and are of the opinion that the
remaining amount necessary to free the
church from debt will soon be torth-
coming.
The service yesterday was an excel
lent one in every particular. The mus
cel mart of the same was rendered by
the vested choir of the church in fault
less style. The church was beautifully
decorated. the altar being almost hid
den by the mass of palms and other pot
ted plants.
