 and on account of it's weight it sailed through the air like a flash. The force of the rocket going up in the air tore the big stick from the ground and carried it several hundred feet from terra firma. An accident of
 this sort rarely happens, but it is very
 often that the small stick that always
 goes up with a skyrocket strikes per son.
 Another Girl Struck by Stick. This thing happened last night just after Miss Davidson was struck. One | of these sticks struck little Miss Goe- bel, of Bridgeport, in the face as she
 was standing near the spot where Miss Davidson was. The little girl is only six years old, and she, too, was taken to the City Hall Pharmacy. The right side of her face was burned and some powder went into her eye, causing her to suffer much pain. She was taken home by her parents, who were with
 her.
 Minor Accidents. Hyman Lear, eight years old, who lives at 1S3 Congress avenue, thought he
 would see the result of holding blank cartridge pistol against his left hand.
 He pulled the trigger and blew the tip
 of the forefinger of his left hand almost
 off. He was taken to the hospital, where the wound was dressed and he was able to leave.
 The same sort of an accident happen
 ed to John Kennedy, boy living on Cedar street. He also went to the hos pital and left shortly after Albert Wallace, a sixteen-year-old boy living at 73 Spring street met with
 an accident that will teach him to be a. 1 little less curious about firecrackers and l their powers. He put a torpedo in the | muZzle of a cannon then showed fire cracker down after it and asked one of | the boys near him what would happen. | Young Wallace lighted the fuse of the l firecracker, but didn't take his hand | away from the muzzle soon enough.
 The explosion drove the stones of the 1 torpedo into his left hand and the can-
 non kicked back, striking his leg with force enough to make deep and pain | full cut. He was taken to the hospital 1 in a wagon and the doctors there man. aged to pick out most of the stones and ' then dressed his leg. He is still at the | hospital
 Victims of slight accidents strolled l into the Emergency hospital off and on | during the day and had their wounds | dressed but none of the accidents was
 serious.
 John c. Carroll, of Third avenue, West Haven, walked into that institu- | ton in the afternoon with his face as
 black as a negro's. He said that a can- | non exploded and he wanted to have I the doctors pick out the powder They did this until Carroll nearly resumed his usual color, when he left, vowing never to have anything to do with cannons again.
 Charles J. Bailey, of 3OS East street, | also met with the same fate and he was ttreated accordingly.
 Eddie Pierson. of S3 Hamilton street,
 and Domino Lonbodaro, of the same street, complained of blank-cartridge | wounds, and the one on the last-named boy was deep and painful. The car | fridge cut hole one and a half inches 1 long in the palm of his left hand, and 1t
 was fully half an inch deep. | An accident that might be termed a : Fourth of July accident happened to Charles W. Sherwood, of New York
 restaurant keeper at Cosey Beach. | Sherwood runs a small place between l the Momauguin and Mansfields Grove | He went down to his cellar looking for some fireworks yesterday afternoon, and on his way up a ladder that an- swers the purpose of a pair of stairs | fell on him, cutting a gash in his head that bled profusely. There seemed to be no way of checking the flow of blood and it was feared that he would seffer greatly from loss of blood. Dr. Hol- 1 brook, of East Haven. was called and he fixed the wound.
 At Grace hospital there were a few minor accidents, the one happening to
 Willie Block, of B Spruce street, being 1 the most serious, Willie was playing
 with cannon and it exploded. Part
 of the cannon lodged in his left eye and
 when he reached the hospital the piece
 of iron was removed, but not until it had completely spoiled the member. Doctors Busy.
