A TERRIFIC BLOW
From 30-Pound Cake of Ice Falling
About 20 Feet.
Horace Brown Hit on Head but Will
Probably Recover.

An unusually serious accident &C.
Cured, Tuesday forenoon, at the steam
boat wharf in this city, shortly after
the arrival of the steamer Kennebec.
The crew of saloonmen was engaged in
putting in the usual supply Of ice from
the house on the wharf, among them
being Horace Brown, the injured man.
Mr.. Brown was engaged in loading a
cake Of ice onto truck and was direct
ly under the opening in the top of the
ice house through which the cakes of
ice arc dropped. He was stopping over
as a 30-pOund cake dropped from the
opening, but as the workmen engaged
with him shouted to him he straight
ened up so that the ice struck him a
Elancing blow on the left of the fore
head. The cake struck with terrific
force, as it had dropped some 20 feet.
and the blow was sufficient to knock
Brown down and render him insensiblc.
He was carried into the saloon of the
boat and DR.. w. o. Cobb was quickly
summoned. The physician found no
fracture Of the skull, but rather fears
conclusion of the brain. The blow
started a bad hemorrhage and Brown
bled freely from the nose and mouth.
He regained consciousness while on the
boat, but lost it again before being TAX
on to the home of his mother in Ran
dolph.
Later in the afternoon. DR.. Cobb
could report no great change in
Browns condition. He had regained
his senses and the doctor thinks his
chances for recovery are good.

been employed in several positions and

PARIS, June %.
In {. lecture on''old Age" delivered by
DR.. Mcnchnikoff here yesterday, the
speaker expressed the opinion that seniilty
was produced by certain physiological
states which cause tho benehcent species
OF microbes called "macrophages' to IN
crease too rapidly Then in their turn
they become Injurious.
These parasites flourish in the large
Intestine, which mammals possess, where
as In birds 1t is almost entirely lacking,
The result was shown in the person OF
the Doctors own dog, which was decreplt
at IS, while tho Doctors parrot, aged ~,
appeared to the audience hale and lively.
1T stands proved" says the doctor,
that senility is anainfectious disease. ana
1t should be possible to treat 1t like other
maladles-to cure 1t or prevent 1t.
The hope was expressed ~ DR.. Mench-
nikof that a serum would shortly be dis
covered to counteract the ''macrophages"
and prolong human life; meantime he
recommended the consumption Of curdled
milk.
