Way When Outfit Fell.

The new derrick at the Commercial
club building fell with Il crash at l1.45
a. m. today disabling two men WHO
We're perched on the top of it, r. s.
Livingston OF 1868 west Seventh South
street and Parker Hamilton of 80 west
Fifth South street. That they were no.
killed seems nothing LEGS than prov!-
Denial, for they fell not less than 80
feet into the basement OF the structure.
The derrick was what is known as ID
stiff legged derrick of eight tons ca Il
nacity. the contractor says, and the
mast had Just been pulled into position
With a three-quarter inch lppo whicia
appeared to be without defect No
sooner had the mast been brought nu-
derrick. With the two men went down
with n crash. The injured workmen
were quickly rescued and carried to the
contractors offices close; at hand where
DE-. Robinson was Immediately SUM
moned. Livingston was found to have
sustained a badly sprainad left wrist
and cuts about the face. Hamilton
sustained a wrenched left hip with il,-4
ternal Injuries which left him helpless
and greatly suffering. Whether these
viii develop into anything serious could
not be stated. Both men are married. II
Hamilton was removed to his home
in private aInbulance under the $di-
| rection of Contractor f.. Dundas.s3
Livingston said he was5nnt hurt enough
to be sent home, and remained on the
grounds, recovering from the nervous
shock. General swondernlent was ex-
pressed that the men escaped with such
slight injuries.
They. are structural iron workers, and

fellow Nporkmen that the rope had been

previously at work there. The con
tractor was astonished at the ropes

suit OF the first Official trials over the
Crown Point-Lowell course today it is
predicted by veteran drivers that no
new motor records will be established
during the western Vanderbilt" June
is and 10. Louis Stfang OF the Buick
camp, after couple OF turns around
the % mile course said that 81 miles
an hour for the light cars i'll the In
tiana trophy race OH the first day and
that 81 miles an hour for the big cars
q on the next day would hardly be ex-
ceeded This is due to the fact that
the 30 entrants are strictly stock cars
and that owing to the almost continu-
Gus rains 1t has been impossible to
put the roadbed in first class condl-
ton.
"A light cold rain kept most OF the
drivers off the track at the first prac-
tise today between 4 and a. m. The
time over the 90 miles ran from 24,s to
81 minutes.

BIG GRAIN MERGER
 MADE HERE TODAY
W. N. Terry Co. Taken Over by
 Vincent Brothers
Combination of Terry and Vincent In. terests Makes Bridgeport Home of Biggest Grain Business in New Eng. land Outside of Boston - Captain Terry Retires After Half Century in Local Business Life-WiII Continue to Lend Counsel to New Concern.

Bridgeport is now the home of the largest wholesale grain and feed bust ness in New England outside of Bos- ton as the result of a merger effected to-day of the William NJ Terry Co.,. Vincent Brothers. and other interests outside the firm bearing his name of Captain William NJ. Terry. The com bination of these enterprises marks the passing of one of the landmarks of Bridgeport's commercial growth. the William NJ Terry Co. Captain William NJ. Terry, the veteran seafarer whose enterprise has resulted in the up- building of the big wholesale and re- tail business bearing his -@ne. is about to retire from active business life. but he will continue to lend his counsel to the newly organized com cern-
 It is understood that the entire local wholesale grain and feed business of the William M. Terry Company and Vincent Brothers is to be united under one head and to be managed and di- rected by the Vincent Brothers and to have the finaneial backing of William M. Terry. TlA uniting of energy and capital, coupled with a long history of integrity and fair dealing of all par ties uniting makes a very formidable business combination for all compet- itors.
 MT. Terry after more than fifty years of business activity in Bridgeport and Western Connecticut. has virtually re- tired from active life but continues as president of the Williem M. Terry Company. which for a while will con- tnue the out of town car load grain business. with the cooperation and assistance of the vincents. With the acquisition of the Terry elevator in Bridgeport. and the one in Danbury owned by the Terry Company, and the Vincent elevators the new combination of interests will do a grain business of more than four million bushels a year in addition to a very extensive hay and coal business The Vincent Brothers are members of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and the New York Pro- duce Exchange and have Chicago con nections in the grain trade that are of value.
 The Vincent Brothers have been in Bridgeport about twenty years and during that period have been engaged in the wholesale grain and coal busi- ness and have also conducted a chain of grocery stores in this city. An en- is theirs and they have profited large Iy by their efforts.
 William M Terry and the corpora tions he dominates in the grain trade here and in Danbury are fully as sub stantial as any in the commercial world and have been for many years due to the unceasing efforts of Cap tain William M- Terry and the applica- ton of sound business principles As sociated with MT Terry for nearly
