Had to AInputabe His Leg.

When the roar had ceased the CRIES
of injured workmen echoed through
the tunnel, and relief work was at
once organized. The first victim found.
an Italian laborer, was pinioned ON q
shelf Of the excavation by one leg, a
boulder Of about ten tons in weight
having fallen Oh the limb, He was
hanging head down. The rock which
held him was restrained from falling
further by a small piece of stone in
securely wedged under it. An eXamina-
ton showed that an effort to move the
boulder would cause the Italian to be
completely crushed. The doctors then
determined to amputate the pinioned
leg, and this w2ss done i'm the light Of
the ambulance lamp. The man died
later.

Most pantomine characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at Il theater in Lincoln's Inn
Fields in 1920 1t was called "Harle-
quin Executed" and its subtitle was
"a New Italian Comic Scene Between
a Scaramouche, Harlequin, Goun-
try Farmer. His Wife and Others. "
The performance was very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth
century the character of pantomime
performances was completely altered,
chiefly because of the genius of the
famous Grimaldi, who made the clown
the first figure in the pantomime. Gri-
maldi first appeared at Sadlers Wells
theater, where he played the part of a
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty-nine years, and at
the close of his career he took bene-
fit at Drury Lane theater, which real
lied nearly 1900. He also received 400
from the Drury Lane fund. This was
in June. 1873. He died in 1887 and was
buried in the churchyard of st. James
chapel, Pentonville Hill.
