That He Was Not Killed Out
right, is Rydberg
BOTH LEGS WERE BROKEN
Granite Block Of Several Tons Weight
DroppedaOn Him as He Was Assist
ing in Loading II on
Car.

Howard Rydbere, Jumper employed
at Marion & o'Leary's granite plant,
lies at the City hospital with both legs
broken, one Of them in two places as
the result Of an accident which occurred
at the plant shortly after four O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Although Rydberg
is badly injured, the conditions were such
that it is remarkable that he was not
killed outright.
In company with John 0'Leary, a
member Of the firm, Rydberg was as
sisting TO load a stone weighing about
three tons into q box car. The stone
was brought to the car door BIZ the tray-
cling derrick and was then lowered onto
some planks set ON q horse which had
been placed there to receive it. 0'Leary
was on the inside Of the car working
to get the stone in, and Rydberg stepped
up behind il and began working with
bar to push it forward As Rydberg
put the extra pressure on the leverage,
which he obtained with the bar, onto
the horse which supported the stone, the
legs were driven into the ground and
the stone began to topple. In the ex-
OF the moment Rydberg is said
to have jumped toward the stone as it
was falling instead Of from it.
He was caught either BY the stone it,
self, the supporting planks or the horse
and was hurled to the ground. Neither
the stone nor the plank was on top Of
him when 0'Leary jumped to his assis-
tance as he had rolled in the opposite
direction.
Or. w D. Reid was called together
with Badgers ambulance, the latter get
ting there at about the same time that
the doctor arrived. The injured man
was put into the ambulance and taken
to the hospital where examination show
cd that both legs were fractured above
the knees and the small bone Of the left
leg below the knee. The fractures were
reduced by Drs. Reid and L. L. Leonard.
1t Is said that Rydberg had been adj
vised to place another stone beside the
car to act as support, but he thought
that the horse would be sufficient. TIE
accident appears to have been duo to
the softness Of the ground which allow
"a the leg Of the horse to sink, The pa

Grover Cleveland Gould Talk; But He
Could Also Listen.

IN the April American Magazine Jesse
Lynch Williams. long warm personal
friend Of the late Grover Cleveland,
gives way to the opportunities Of his
friends and tells some interesting anec-
dotes about the great statesman, re-
counting some of his witicisms and hui
norous stories. He writes:
Great men are so often great bores;
admirable, but in tresting chiefly as cu-
riosities. Friendship seldom thriyes on
greatness 1t takes two to make quar-
rel or friendship. It requires giving
as we'll as receiving. Greatness is apt
to consume the capacity for real friend
ship. Mr. Cleveland, however, was one
Of those who made and kept real friends
He set great store by them. He liked
to be with them. Naturally, they liked
to be with him-not. however, because it
was an honor and privilege and lib
eral education, merely, but because he
was such good company. His humof,
sympathy and simple friendliness, which
the world at large had little chance to
see, were the most characteristic things
about him TO those who saw him most.
He was not great talker. Once in a
while something would start him going,
and he would run on for half an evening
with "reminiscences and comments on
men and events-wonderflil talk which
ought to have been recorded even If new
er printed but for the most part he let
others do the talking; he listened. Like
many men Of attainment, though not
all, he was most inspiring listener,
with a fattering manner Of regarding
you while talking as if your views upon
the topic Of conversation were quite as
worthy of attention as his own. He
really believed 50. He knew that he was
not brilliant, and thought that he had
no extraordinary gifts and he was
right. There was nothing extraordinary
about his qualities except the degree
to which he had developed them
'tHis grave qnietness, however, was not
OF the heavy, crushing kind, which rem
ders conversation painful, or impossible;
It was thoughtful, suggestive, often
stimulating. He had a real gift Of ST
Ienee. 1t expressed comment, approba-
ton, reproof applause"

Less Changes That Usual Expected.
II Is not expected that any change
will occur in the district superintendents
this year, the present incumbents all
having yet further time before, their al.
lotted terms wili have expired. Rev.
Edwin w. Sharp, who has served very
successful eight years pastorate at
Northheld, win ask for years rest, and
i IL expected that the request Of the
church at NorthGeld for the appointment
Of the Rev. Alfred II. Webb of Brattle-
boro will be granted BY the bishop. Blr.
Webb has served the Northfeld church
for one pastoral term previously, as he
had that of Brattlfboro before going
there four years ago. Both Messrs.
Sharp and Webb had been unanimously
invited to return 70 their present fields
Of labor.
Il is probable that not as many
changes Of pastorates will occur this
Smith Of Aforrisvlle and Sharples Of
swanton have both indicated their de-.
sire for change. ard some others will
move. But there seems to be less Of a
feeling Of unrest than at some confer
euces, this being IN part because the pasr
year has been, on the whole, SO pros.
porous a one for the churches.
No new church cdihees have been
erected during the year, though much
money has been spent on repairs and
