MAY OPEN SUNDAYS
Historical Society Elects Com mittee to Pass on the
 Matter.
THE COURIER'S SUGGESTION
Good Reason to Believe That the Building Will Soon be Thrown
 Open.

Last night the directors of the New Haven Colony Historical society met In the society building on Grove street and elected the following committee to look into the suggestion made by The Journal-Courier that the historical ex- hbits of the society be opened to the view of the public generally just as the exhibits at the Yale Art school and Peabody museum are at present on Sunday afternoons: Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, Rev. C. R, Palmer and Ben jamin R. English.
 The matter will be given immediate attention. The article and editorial published last week in this paper were read and discussed by the directors. II was foretold by this paper that the matter would be taken up and there seems to be every reason to believe, judging from the representative senti- ments of the directors interviewed, that the matter will go through. Every d. rector interviewed was in favor of the suggestion. -
 After the executive meeting of the directors was ended an interesting ar ticle was read by Judge Baldwin on "The Secession of Springfield from Connecticut" which Is treated of in another place in this paper this morn ing

THROUGH A WINDOW
Weston Shepard, of Morris Cove, Narrowly Escapes
 Fatal Injury.
SEVERELY CUTS HIS WRIST
Trips Head Foremost Into Glass Might Easily Have Cut His
 Throat.

Weston Shepard, the young son of Harvey Shepard of Morris Cove. had narrow escape from shocking death yesterday afternoon at the home of his father.
 Young Shepard was out in the back yard of his home repairing a building at the time. He started from one side 10 another, and In doing so his foot caught fin some wire and he pitched head foremost into a window His head went clear through the glass, shattering 1t into hundreds of pieces. To save himself he threw up his left hand and it fell upon a sharp piece of glass, which cut him diagonally across the wrist. inflicting a wound that re- quired four stitches to close.
 Dr. Holbrook attended the young man and he stated that the latter's escape from fatal injury might be con sidered almost miraculous A little more force and the main artery in the wrist would have been severed and he would have bled to death be- fore anything could have been done for him.
 Strange as it may seem, although Shepard's head went through the win dow, he was hardly scratched about the face. The jagged ends of the glass might easily have cut his throat

ABOLISH ELECTRIC GONG
New System for Fires Installed at
 Orange Street School.

At the Orange street grammar school yesterday a new fire gong system was installed. In plase of two small gongs on the first and third floors of the building, a large gong eighteen inches in diameter has been placed on the second floor. Instead of electricity as motive power the gong will be pulled by hand. It was feared that some thing might be out of order with the electric system at critical time or that the wires might be burned.
 With the exception of the high school there are now no gongs operated by electricity in New Haven schools. Here also if gongs that can be satisfactorily heard can be secured they will be in- stalled to replace the present electric system.
