Serious Accident.

Albert Nelson, whose home is in
Madison, met with an unfortunate ac-
cident Monday morning. He was en-
ployed as a teamster and was hauling
sawed lumber to the freight yard OF
the Maine Central where it was loaded
upon cars for shipment down river.
1t is presumed that in turning from
Madison Avenue to ascend the incline
leading to the landing of the Maine
Central freight wharf, the wheels of
his wagon struck the electric car
track. The sudden jolt probably
slowed the load around and he lost
his balance, falling to the ground
He was picked up and hurried to the
Somerset hospital on Elm street,
where it was found that he had sus-
tanned fracture of the skull at the
base of the brain.
We are glad to be able to state this
morning that Mr.. Nelson has improv-
ed rapidly in the past few days, and
that as no complications have arisen
his physician believes he is practi-
cally out of danger.

fuse. The refreshment table and the
room In which it stood were lavishly
decorated with sweet peas, and other
kinds of flowers filled every available
corner of the chapel, transforming the
large circular window into a bower
A general invitation had been given
by the Woman's Missionary Society,

In the front of the room, and formed
family group of no little interest, all
the nine children except Arthur being
present. To the strains of the Lohen-
grin Wedding March, played by Mrs.
Nye, a procession of twenty five boys
and girls entered the room, carrying
roses As they marched by the pas
tors family, each one presented Mrs.
Merriam with rose. Mrs. Il. X. Fogg
followed, bearing a wedding cake,
decorated with roses, and surrounded
by shining wreath, composed OF
twenty FIVE silver dollars. In pre-
senting this to Mr. and Mrs. Merriam,
Mrs. Fogg, in beautiful and tender
language, expressed on behalf of the
people, their loving appreciation of
the devoted service of the pastor, and
of the sweet womanly qualities by
which his wife has endeared herself to
all; also their interest in their chill
dren, and appreciation of the helpful
ness of the older ones in the church.
This part of the evenings program
was complete surprise to the pastor,
who after finding his voice, expressed
his gratitude for the gift and the spir-
it prompting it, as we'll as for the
friendly words in which it had been
rendered. Mrs. Merriam also briefly
expressed her appreciation, and Mr..
George r. Merriam, the eldest son,
spoke for the "Merriam children"

Slot Machines Seized.

AS a result of the visit here last Fri
day and Saturday of Rev. H. n. Prin-
gle, secretary of the Maine State
Civic League, IL slot machines which
were found in the barn of the William
Heselton property on Heselton st.
were seized Saturday morning by
Deputy Sheriff j. Almar Goodrich.
The warrant which was issued by
Judge o. r. Bachelor, was sworn out
by Mr.. Pringle under the Statute oil
1905 providing for the seizure and
destruction of all gambling instru-
ments found in places of public resort.
At hearing held before Judge
Bachelor on Tuesday morning w. H,
Heselton appeared as defendant, with
Hon. Forrest Goodwin as his attorney,
while the prosecution was conducted
i by E. +. Merrill. The defense main
tanned that the machines were simply
stored in the above mentioned barn,
where they we're of no menace to the
public welfare, and that they could
not be legally seized under the new
statute. Under the former statute
however all gambling devices found
within the State could be confiscated
no matter where they were when
seized.
Judge Bachelor with held his de-
cision at the time of the hearing in
order to look up more fully, decisions
which had been rendered under the
new law.
This morning Judge Bachelor gave
out an order that the machines be
returned to their owner.

graphophone and gave a pleasing
concert, while conversation by the
older ones and games by the younger
