MRS. KELLEY INJURED
 FELL DOWN STAIRS

Mrs Michael Keeley, wife of the manager of the Waterbury Scrap Iron Co and mother of Michael E. Keeley and pr Peter T. Keeley, met with an accident this morning, which, while it fortunately did not result in imme- diate fatal results, may prove to be very serious because of the advanced age of Mrs Keeley. About 8 o'clock this morning when leaving the second floor of her home at A Abbott avenue, she tripped at the head of the stairs and plunged headlong to the bottom. There, her husband. who had heard the noise of her fall, found her. Her head was doubled under her and when picked up she was unconscious. Dr Graves was soon on the scene and he pronounced the accident miraculous, in that her neck was not broken by the fall. No bones were broken, but internal injuries are feared and as Mrs Keeley is over TO years of age, the results may be fatal.
