The following letter enclosing an
adv, was received this week and we
presume many brother publishers
throughout the state received sim
liar one from the New York Distrib-
uting Co., so styled. No cash accom-
panied the order and it is very doubtful
il any ever would find its way into the
Office from this firm if the space was
given. The majority Of Michigan pub
fishers are not suckers although they
do bite and get bit occasionally. II
concerns like the New York Distribut-
ing Co. would accompany their order
with a one or two or five dollar remit
lance we guarantee that Legitimate
adys. would be inserted 10 the full
length of time paid Tor and the amount
of space asked for given. If this
scheme could have been worked even
for one issue through the newspapers
of the state IL will be readily seen no"
the firm could have realized thous
and or more dollars worth OF advertls

IN JAWS OF DEATH
Paul Corey's Wonderful ES-
cape From Cruel Wheels.

Oxford, March S.-Unable to hear the
sound of the wheels, the ringing of
the bell or the warning whistle, Paul
! Corey, deaf boy, was struck by an
express train and badly injured this
morning. Luckily the boy escaped with
his life. But as a result of the accid-
! ent he sustained such serious spinal
injuries that it is probable he will &c
through life a cripple, in addition tc
his other aff1iction
1t was shortly after O'Clock this
morning when the accident took place
Paul Corey was walking on the tracks
above his home. There was nothing to
warn him of the approach of the $50
train into Oxford. All absorbed in his
thoughts, he went on unconscious of
his danger.
The express came rapidly up from
behind. The engineer had blown re-
peated blasts with his whistle, think
ing the noise would surely warn the
pedestrian Finally, seeing il was i'm
possible to attract the walkers atten-
ton. he reversed the engine. The speed
was sighted. But it was too late.
There was not time for Corey to
jump off the track. But instinct
catcher. He drew his legs up as best
he could and was dragged along on his
back several hundred feet before the
engineer succeeded in bringing his ma
chine to a standstill. Had the train not
stopped precisely when 1t did, specta-
tors say Corey would have fallen I'M
der the wheels and met his death.
The injured boy was lifted into one
of the cars and the train backed into
the station. DR.. j. r. Woodward re-
sponded to an emergency call, and had
his patient conveyed to his home,
where he made thorough examination
Of his condition. Curiously enough, no
bones were broken. But the spine was
severely injured. Several muscles were
strained, and the body was found to
be covered with Commissions and bruises.
The Corey family have always been
the victims OF misfortune. Over three
years ago a younger brother of Paul
Corey was hit by train and severely
injured in much the same manner that
Paul was. Before that two Of the
children died from the effects Of eating
poisonous plant.
A number of men began to lay the
foundations of the power house at the
centre today.

morning after a brief illness Of thirty
six hours. Mrs. Joslin was very mucl

fined and transformations in her bear
ing, she won the confidence and esteem
of all and will be sadly missed.

LEICESTER.
Changes in Working Force
at Power House.

Leicester, March S.-James Duff,
fireman at the power station of the Su
burban, left his position last Saturday
night. His position was taken by Ell
lott w. Partridge, who was transferred
from the boiler room to the engine room
and has been kept busy shining up the
machinery. This leaves five men en-
ployed at the station--three engineers
and two firemen. Although there is no
assistant engaged in wheeling coal into
the boiler room from outside, this is
not necessary, as teams now drive into
the building with their coal and shovel
it out on the floor, instead of leaving
the fuel outdoors.
John Fogarty, employed at the car
barn of the Suburban, met with a pain
full accident a few days ago. He was
engaged in pouring some melted Dab

water in the casting was converted
into steam by the heat and threw the
metal over Fogarty. One side Of his
face was covered and his clothes
ruined. Fogarty was at work today
with a bandage over one eye.

MCINTOSH FACTORY.
Wood Shoe Co. of Ware Alb
serbs the Firm.

West Brookfield. March S.-The Nc
Intosh question is virtually settled.
1t is settled beyond doubt that the
J. T. Wood Shoe Co. of Ware has alb
sorbed the Mcintosh Shoe Co. of this
town, and the latter shop will be
moved to Ware as soon as the neces-
sary addition can be built to the Wood
factory.
Fifteen thousand dollars has been
raised by the citizens of Ware, and the
Mcintosh company put in heir ma
chinery, stock, ETC., for $4,000, and the
manufacture of goods will be carried
on in Ware by the j. T. Wood Shoe
Co., although the plant will not be
moved from here until about the first
of July.
This will take the last shoe 1nanufac-
tory away from a town that Tut a few
years ago was one Of the leading shoe
towns in the state. But It will leave
a good modern factory IN good shape
for some manufacturer to occupy, and
determined effort will be made to
induce some one to take possession Of
the plant.
The farmers of this town end vicin-
ity have been looking forward to the
Sth of March as the day on which they
would enjoy the well known hospitality
of the Hon. d. H. Chamberlain at Elm
Knoll, but unfortunately the governor
illness prevented his welcoming them
at his home, and he secured the G. A.
r. Hall for their entertainment.
The meeting opened at 1850 a. M:
President A. C. White in the chair and
L. H. Chamberlain secretary. Prof. l.
c. Chamberlain of Storrs Agricultural
College, Storrs, Conn, read an essay
on Some popular fads of agriculture"
and enumerated sub-soiling, steam
feeding for cattle, deep ploughing, fads
in butter making, thoroughbred stock
and tuberculosis, as some of the fads
to which the farmers had been subject
at different periods in their lives. The
essay was very interesting and well
received by those present.
The dinner was partaken of by some
what over 100 persons and after diEner
the Rev. C. w. Loomis made remarks
on the question, rs the present ten
dency to shift the burden of highways,
schools and other expenses from the
towns and cities to the state a wise
policy?" This elected considerable dis
cussion, which was participated in by
the Hon. E. B. Lynde, ]. w. Law
renee, B. NJ. Frink, DR.. c. A. Blake and
others.

SMALL-POX STAMPED OUT.
| Substance of Report DR.. FARRELL
Made to the Sanitary Board.

AT meeting of the sanitary board at
the Cdty Exchange yesterday afternoon.
Alderman farrell, secretary of the board,
reported that the cases of smallpox at the
pest house had passed the crisis, and the
disease is about wiped out so far as any
danger of a spread goes.
Much of the credit for the skillful hand
ling of the small pox cases is due to AL
derman FARRELL as acting health officer.
When there was need for his services, he
performed the work quickly and satisfac-
torily. The three cases that developed
were promptly isolated so that there was
no chance of infection Since the disease
has been eradicated 1t is stated the health
authorities traced its origin to another
state, except the case of the soldier from
Porto Rico. DR.. farrell was assisted in
his work by Chief Sanitary Inspector Mel
vim.
The sanitary board also discussed the
disinfection Of transports at Sapelo, which
was announced in the Morning News yes
terday Had IL not been for the crowded
condition of things at the citys station,
the transports would have been welcomed
at quarantine indefinitely. The fact that
there was limited room there, however
made 1t impossible to accommodate the
transports without delay either to them or
the coastwise vessels.
