NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

Strikes Preacher on Head.

Washington, February 2.-Rev. Dr.
Frank Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal church had a narrow
escape from death in his pulpit today.
While he was offering prayer plate orna-
ment, weighing 10 pounds, fell from the
ceiling a distance of 30 feet, striking him
glancing blow on the head He fell
to the floor unconscious and bleeding
from severe scalp wound. Tonight he is
suffering from nervous shock, but his
condition is not considered serious. No
one knew for a moment what had hap
pened. The first impression was that Il
bomb had been thrown. There was a
period of commotion and cutlery as the
congregation rose, some rushing for the
door, when an appeal to be calm ayerted
what might have been panic.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The exercises which were held in the Center cemetery, Sunday afternoon, were as successful as any ever held in this place. The Soldiers monument,
 around which the services took place,
 was decorated with flags and flowers provided by the school children. The veterans, sons of veterans, and the Bethel Drum corps, met the members of Moore--White post, and Sons of Veterans of Danbury at the Greenwood avenue crossing, and escorted them to the cemetery. Here seats were pro- vided for the veterans, clergy and speakers of the day, about the monu- ment. The chorus of male voices,
 which opened the exercises, sang sever- al selections. Rev L. M. Lounsbury offered prayer, after which Misses Pauline Andrews, Eunice Richmond and Avarice Levalla and Eben Hill of the Bethel High school, gave pleasing recitations. Lincoln's speech at Get tysburg was read by Joseph Eaton of Danbury. After another selection sung by the male chorus, Henry A. Gilbert chairman of the occasion, introduced
 the speaker of the afternoon, Rev Horace Q. Judd. MT Judd is native of Bethel. in the early days of the Civil War he enlisted in Go. G., 17th Regiment Conn. Volunteers, which served through the war. MT Judas remarks were largely reminiscent and in speaking of the men who enlisted from this place, he said they were ex- ceptionally good men, who came from good homes. He particularly men, toned .renus Woodman of this place and Andrew D. Couch of Plumtrees, both of whom were killed while on duty at at Charlottesville. He also spoke of many others. During the next chorus collection was taken for the care of the plot on which the Sol diers' monument stands. The Moore White post, G. A. R., then conducted its memorial service, after wkich America was sung. The benediction was offered by Rev A. T. Steele.
