that this was the only chance these

Twelve of thc leading women of
Rdgebury, Conn. startled that little
village by turning ont in company
and painting the new fence which sur
rounds the cemetery there. says spe-
cial dispatch from Danhlwy. Conn, to
the New York Times. The men having
built it with lumber purchased by the
women, who had raised Il little fund to
improve the appearance of the place,
baked at painting, especially in mid
sumner, with the seasons haying to
lie done
The women had money enough left
in the fund to buy paint but not enough
TO hire a professional painter from Dan

job themselves and shame the men.

fatal injuries he managed, by almost super
human efforts, to keep his head above water
until help arrived. He died, however on the
way to the hospital.
Williams was doing some piping, and in order
to get at his work sitting a narrow
wooden ledge on the far side Of the huge spiles
which swing backward two and three feet when
a boat is making her slip The pilot of the
Bergen warned Williams as the boat swept
slowly in on the tide He got back on his ledge

The Bergen crashed with terrific force against
the north spiles, which yielded. Some of them

Williams was caught in the wreckage and every
rib in his body was broken The Bergen backed
out into the stream, and she did so the spiles
swung to their base again and Williams was
thrown twenty-five feet into the water
Notwithstanding his fatal injuries, Williams
SWAN about and eventually caught hold OF
piece of lumber and dragged himself up almost
three feet. But he too weak TO hold
and would surely have gone down again had
not some of his companions swung rope about
him. With this he was hauled out. Williams
put in an ambulance, but died on his way

Conoerd, N. H, Nov. S.-Unoffcial returns
from eve-y city and town in New Hampshire
indicate that tho voters failed by the narrow
margin of ten to elect a Governor. The state
law requires that the successful candidate re-
ceive a jority the other candidates, and
Charles NJ. Floyd. OF Manchester, the Repub-
lean nominee. falls short jus: ten votes of
ceiving the needed majority. Unless the official
result, which will not be compiled until next
week. shows change. the Legislature will be
called on TO name the next Governor.
There q persistent rumor in this city to-
night that fifty members OF the next Legisla-
ture who represent the Lincoln Republican
Club would join with the Democrats In bring
Antrim, Governor, in return for Democratic
votes for a Lincoln Club man to succeed United

combination of forces If it exists, would make
