FELL FROM A WINDOW.
Two Accidents in One Family in On
 Day

Two Accidents in One Family in One Day.
 It was an unfortunate day for the family of Peter Fox of 4s Wolcott street yesterday. His five-year-old daughter Lena had the misfortune to fall out of the window from the third story to the concrete walk. She was seriously in jured. having her right arm broken and her head, face and knee were very bad ly bruised. She was attended by Dr. c. H. Robbins. who sent her to the New Haven hospital He said last night that her injuries were so serious that he feared an unfavorable result.
 Dr. Robbins had been called upon on- ly an hour or two before to amputate the right thumb of MT. Fox, who is an employe of the rolling mill. While he was there engaged on the machine it was prematurely started and his thumb was caught and badly smashed.
 MT. Fox told the doctor yesterday that he had had dream the night be- fore and he told his wife that he be- lieved' that there was going to be mis- fortune for the family. Dr. Robbins said that he was greatly surprised to be summoned again so soon to attend a member of the family after he had at- tended the father and he regarded it as strange coincidence, to say the least:

favor of Mr. Reilly. Another delegate said that he believed it would be better to nominate man who was a democrat pure and simple and that was not bound up with the Economic league or any other organizat ton. This remark creat- ed some dissatisfaction, and for a time it seemed as if there was going to be some trouble. This was finally quelled by the balloting which was ordered by the chair. At first when the First, Sec ,ond and Third wards were called it Seemed as if Miller's friends were in a preponderance, and it began to look rather dusty for Joe Reilly. But after the Fourth and Fifth wards were called the Reilly votes began to scome very rapidly. Then it began to be nip and tuck, and the Eighth and Ninth wards were nearly equally divided. but when the Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir- teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards were called the Reilly votes came in hand over fist and those who had kept tally began to see that Reilly was con- siderably in the majority, and they went over to where the candidate sat and shook hands warmly and congrat- uated him on the result. It was seen that it was ':all day. for Miller and when the secretary announced the re- suit as 61 for Reilly and 34 for Miller the cheering was tremendous. Upon mo- tion the nomination of MT. Reilly was made unanimous and he was compelled to take the platform and make a speech. He went up and in few well chosen words thanked the convention for the honor that they had conferred on him, and he pledged himself that if elected he would do his best to win the confi- dence of the people. He said that he all ways las been and should be labor man and that he must not be expected to go back on that organization. But he recognized the fact that he was chosen as democrat and if, he was elected he should act with them. His remarks were loudly applauded.
 MT. Reilly is well known member of the local typographical union. He has charge of one of the Mergenthaler ma chimes on the Evenng Leader. He is well known and highly regarded among the fraternity and his nomination was expected by them. Afterward Mir. Dom ovan was discovered in the audience and he was called upon for a speech. He took the platform and said that he was pleased with the nomination of both MT. Reilly and himself. and said there was no reason why they should not both be elected and that it was the duty oe the democrats of the city and town to give heavy majority for every name on the ticket from governor down to justices of the peace. His remarks were loudly applauded and the conven- ton having no further business before it adjourned.( Sse45 r.

FOOD SAVED HER.
That Is the True Cure for Most Every

thing.
 A food that will help the babies and the grown folks too is worth knowing of and keeping in the family.
 A mother in Woonsocket, R. l., says, q have been a user of Grape Nuts Food for quite long time but never thought of giving it to baby, until we had a dreadful time with her.
 We tried three kinds of baby food and condensed milk but nothing seemed to agree with her, and at seven months she weighed not quite 10 pounds. We were puzzled to know what to do when one day Husband said, Do you ever try GrapeNuts? I thought she would throw up that food like she did the others, but to our great joy the soften ed food agreed with her perfectly.
 She has been using it for about five months now and at a year old, she weighs 1912 lbs, has eight teeth and her flesh and little body is as firm and round as can be. She walks from chair to chai".
 Meeting the doctor the other day I said, What do you think of her now? He said, She don't look like the same baby. What do you feed her?' I said, 'Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food The proof of it's value is perfectly clear. She is wonder everyone says that saw her some months ago. I cannot praise Grape-Nuts enough. Please do not publish my name" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

DARWIN AND SPENCER.

Throughout his life Darwin was great sufferer from ill-health, and spent a not inconsiderate part of his time in hydropathic institutions and treatment. As vague cure-all for vague complaints these institutions at this time had a great vogue, and at first Darwin had a more profound faith in the efficacy of the treatment" than facts warranted. The proprietor of his favorite establishment, however, made his diagnoses by means of "clairvoy- ants" or mediums" and his medical treatments of the patients, so far as

swore that he was compelled to shoot
sehon to protect his own life. He
tried to avoid sehon and even went
outof his way to keep from meeting
him But ali In vain and the trouble
finally eliminated in murder The
trouble originated from a trip that
Mrs Rome and Sehon took to Clarks-
burg to attend the commencement of
the colored schools. on the way

her which she resented. She told q
young lady living in this city, who
refused TO associate with sehon any
longer. This sehon resented aud he
began calling Mrs. Rome names, She
told her husband Of the trouble, and
he endeavored to settle the matter
with Sehon, but Se1ou would not
listen to any settlement.
