from the sidewalk in front OF the build
Ing. 1t is supposed that he arose In his
sleep and walked out Of the open window,
which Is quite low. He must have
pitched headioremost, with his arms be-
fore him. He fell nearly thirty feet, and
struck on the curb at the outer side OF
the walk and in the gutter. He had not
been drinking.
There are many who doubt that he fell
from the window, believing it impossi BILE
for man to have such a fall and live.
Dr.. Phillips, who attended him, says he
has not the slig htest doubt that Muldoon
fell from the window. II is probable that
his hands struck on the sidewalk, and ais
arms received the first force of the fall.
He then struck the curb q giancing blow,
which still furt her broke the force Of the
fall before he finally struck the paved
gutter
Muldoon Was taken back to the Dirigo
club-room, where Drs. Phillips and Par
sons set the broken bones aud dressed his
wounds. At noon Friday he was moved
to tue American house, where he re-
manned until this noon, when he was
taken to his home in Brewer.
He is as comfortable now as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances, and
there are no indications Of internal in
juries.

Narrow Escape from Death.
William Muldoon, OF Brewer, fell from
the third story window OF the Dlrigo

That he Is alive to day is the most re-
markable thing about the accident.
Roth arms we're broken--the left one In
the forearm, both bones being broken,

Muldoon went to the dance at Hancock

and 3 o'clock In the morning when he,

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The river carnival and display Of fire.
works Wednesday evening was, as antici-
pated, the spectacular feature Of the car
nival. An immense crowd was out to
see the display, and every point OF van
tage was taken. Three bands furnished
music one stationed on the bridge, one
in front OF the laundry and one ON the
east bank of the river.
The display of fireworks was the best
ever seen here. The boats on the river
made a very pretty sight. The display
was marred by an accident to the float
which the Knights OF King Arthur had
spent much time and trouble to arrange.
1t was in the shape of a monitor and
would easily have been the feature of the
river carnival. As the monitor was COM
ing around the bend Of the river, a spark
in the ammunition caused a premature
display of fireworks. The destruction
of the monitor SO early in the engage
ment with the fort on the shore was not
down on the programme. 1t was little
too realistic for the three boys on the
float, who had narrow escapes from in
jury by the exploding fireworks. They
jumped into the river to save themselves.
Drummey's sea serpent was the most
ingenious float, but did not show off to
