leading from the Merchants Club rooms.
He had started home and just as he

over some small obstruction, thought to
have been a watermelon rind, and losing
his balance fell headlong down the whole
flight of steps, his head striking on the
asphalt pavement His physician, DR..
Robertson, just now, at 80, tells me:
Judge Bynum's condition is quite Sc
rious His injuries are a scalp wound
on top of head, fracture at base of skull
and left shoulder broken. The fracture
of skull has caused a paralysis of left
side of body. His general condition is
somewhat improved as he is slowly recov-

his recovery.

to his assistance and in five minutes
they had the boat in the water. Several
OF the men fearing that the ship would
sink before they had an opportunity to
escape. threw themselves overheard. They
were later picked up by the life boats
from the Seguin.
The City of Venice went down
in very deep water in less
than fifteen minutes after the collision
occurred. After standing by for an hour,
the Seguin headed for Cleveland with
the survivors, arriving here early today.
