Samuel ,Omerod of 151 Orange street was struck by the switchef on the bridge at Holmes, Booth < Haydens shortly before 6 o'clock last evening, receiving injuries from which he died at the Waterbury hospital at 1O.45 this morning. The deceased had been employed by the Waterbury Brass cor poratiOn, located in the south end of the plant of Holmes, Booth & Hay dens, s,~and was hurrying home from work when the switcher of Engineer Merrill and Conductor Brennan came along and hit him in the back and threw him to the ground. Two trucks passed over his legs almost severing them below the knees. The unfortu- nate man was picked up and taken to the baggage room at the Bank street station and from there 10 the hospi- tal. He was a strong, healthy man, but even so the shock was too much for him and soon after his removal to the hospital the physicians had 10 hope that he would live. He leaves a widow and four children. MT Omerod had passed along where he was injur- ed regularly for years and was quite familiar with the place and the acci- dent IS but another instance of the risk so many human beings run ut that point every day in tEn year and emphasizes the necessity of taking immediate steps for the opening of q street in that locality 80 that people may be able to get to and from their work without too much risk to fife and limb. The deceased was an hon est. industrious citizen, and was well liked by his neigllbors ;il,l shopmatss.

They re- fused to return him his check for $54 the payment of which he had stopped at the bank. But he also refused to accept the horse and they were ncces- lsarily forced to accept 1t and for the seven weeks it was in their custody they charged $5 week for it's board and care. The court found that the animal was the property of the defensl- ants and therefore they could not charge plaintiff for it's maintenance.

While making some explorations through the attic chambers the other day q member of the TrowbridRe fand- ily picked up a copy of the semi-week- ly Democrat, dated October IT, 1855. No reason can be assigned as to why 1t should have remained 50 long in the house except that it contains . poem dedicated to the parents of Julia Frances Trowbridge, who died
 in that year. But an article of more public interest though the Tr0ws/ /.slge family might not think SO, apparrs on another page. It is n areport of a
 meeting of the city government and shows that there were bad men i'll
 Waterbury then as well as now. A committee reported that the property owners on the north side of Union street had encroached upon the high way, making the roadway much mar rover than the survey called for.
 This furnished the theme for 5a lots of oratory and finally voted to have the city surveyor fix the bounds and no- tify abutting property ownersto move their fences back to the line.
 At the same meeting 1t was voted to establish line on South Main street, west side, from Apothecary hall to Grand street. The officials present were Mayor Benedict, Alder man Dikeman, Counilmen Stocking, Hine, Rice, Lamb. Partree, Chatfield. Granniss and Godfrey. Nelson J. Welton. still active in the affairs of the community. was. city clerk at that time The semi-weekly Demo- crat was Issued by Richards and Mat toon and went out of existence in, 1858, after an existence of a few years. The History of Waterbury says the paper was issued from 1857 to 1858. but there must lie some mis- take abctt this since the copy found is dated 1855. 46
