Besides being badly bruised and perhaps injured in- ternally, his right shoulder blade was broken. English was on his way home from work, and although he is somewhat of an elderly man endeav- ored to alight from the rolling car before it had come to stop. He was thrown headlong to the pave- ment and was rendered unconscious. He was carried to his home where he was attended by Dr Crane. The injured man is not in serious con- dition although he will be confined to his home for some time.
 Nicola Delappo is not the only one in this city who has been swindled by film Hammers from New York, for it is not more than two weeks ago that Alphonse Gale was done" for $500 much in the same manner as drummers worked the Santoro brothers. Calo conducts store on John street and one after non two drummers. they might have been the same fellows who met the Santoro brothers. called at his store and endeavored to get an order. As Alphonse did not know them he was somewhat leery in doing business with the Florence Distilling company which they said they represented. A few days later they again called round and as they appeared to be good and straight. they at length persuaded Calo to give them big or der. The following day Gallo sent a couple of checks. aggregating $500 to certain address in New York and waited for his goods, as he had re- ceived the bill the morning after the drummers left. When the goods did not arrive at the time specified, Calo became somewhat suspicious and endeavored to stop the payment of the checks which he had passed to the film Hammers. Although he was too late to prevent the first two from being cashed he succeeded in hold ing up a third which he had sent as he had agreed to. notwithstanding the fact that he had received none of is merchandise. He communicated with the New York authorities and had an attorney look up the Florence Distilling house and 1t was found that no such concern existed. It seems as though the New Workers have been doing land office business fin this city.
