Fatal Accident At Hlnsdale, N. H.

A fearful casualty occurred at the
Brightwood paper mills in Hinsdale
Wednesday about midnight, whereby Wal
ter Blanch ,rd, who was in charge of the
boiler and engine-room, lost his life. 1t
appears that Blanchard, who has been en-
ployed about the mills in various capacities
for many years, was temporarily taking the
place OF c. K. Weed, the engineer. There
were in the mill two machine tenders,
Thomas Martin and Edward Abbott, be-
sides Blanchard. The engine and machine
rooms are not contiguous. The machine
tenders saw the engineer as late as II
o'clock, but not afterward. A little after
midnight Martin noticed that the steam was
going down, and taking lantern he went
to the engine-room to discover the cause,
and to his surprise did not find Blanchard
HIS lantern was also gone. With an un-
defined fear of impending disaster, he
rushed down into the cellar of the mill, and
by the dim light OF his lantern beheld some
object slowly revolving on shaft 10 feet
from the ground. One look was enough.
Horror-stricken, he dashed upstairs, shut
the gate, and ran to notify Superintendent
F. E. Field. This was about IL 20 Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Field in turn aroused
G. B. Hopkins, one OF the firm, and like
wise called DR.. W. S Leonard and G. E.
Weed, the engineer. On examination, q
ladder was found standing upright by q
post near the shaft, lantern was lying on
the ground near by, and the unfortunate
man was suspended in midair, having been
wound round and round the shaft, which
makes 20 revolutions a minute, until all
clothing was torn from the body, which was
horribly mangled. The acting coroner,
Robert McCaughern of the selectmen, was
summoned, and deemed an inquest un-
necessary, and undertaken j. H. Wether-
bee took charge Of the body, assisted by A.
A. Bailey aud others. 1t was the work OF
nearly an hour to disentaugle the body
from the shaft, and was only accomplished
by severing the belts and slowly unwinding
the shaft, after which the body was lowered
to the ground. 1t will never be known ex-
actly what caused Blanchard to put him
self in such peril, but it is thought that
there was some hitch in the workings OF
the shaft, or chest, and that he climbed up
on the ladder, lantern in hand, and at
tempted to reach over the shaft, and the
set-screw of the shaft caught in his overalls
near his waist and slowly wound him in.
No cries for help could be heard in the
machine-room on account of the noise Of
the machinery, but it is probable that death
came suddenly and painlessly.
Walter Blanchard was 81 years old.
He was born in Hinsdale, the only son Of
the late David Blanchard He leaves a
widow, daughter of the late Robert Leith
Of Winchester, and three children. Robert

piece possesses all the virtues of comic
opera with none of its absurdities and that
on the whole it is as clever a production
and as admirably suited to the little actress
as anything in which she has been seen in
late years. The scenery is said to be
exceedingly ornate, the costumes hand

for fun-making purposes only and reports
say it succeeds most admirably.
