Timothy. Cronin. a recent graduate of the Broad street school, age eight cen and son of Mir and Mrs John Gro min, was kicked by his fathers horse, Wednesday noon, and received severe injuries. The forward part of the skull was crushed and the nose broken. The horse was being shod in Bailey $ shop, Liberty street, when the mishap occurred. The animal was known to be a kicker when being shod and the customary precautions were taken oy the horseshoer, among which was the flashing of the horses leg. This lash ing broke and before young Cron1n could get out of the way he was conscious. blood flowing from two deep cuts just over the nose, near the connection with the forehead.
 Dr. Barber was called and washed the wound and gave temporary dress ing. It is evident that young Cronln was struck by the toe calk of the shoe directly under the forward part of the s6ul and between the eyes, caus- ing a fracture and breaking the upper part of the nose and cutting gasheS in either side. It is possible that the sight of the eyes was not injured The doctor stopped the flow of blood, washed and dressed the wounds and advised that the injured man be given hospital treatment He was taken from Westerly on the 1.50 train for Providence, for treatment in the Rhode Island hospital.
 Vincent Stillman, who became sud- denly blind. was accompanied to Prov idence,5 Wednesday, by Eugene B. Pendleton. for examination at the Rhode Island hospital. by Dr. Rogers, the eye specialist Dr. Rogers was out of the city and MT. Stillman returned home and will make an appointment with the specialist.
 One of the physicians at the hospital made a superficial examination of MT. Stillnan's eyes and was of the opinion that blindness was caused by the for nation of cataracts which must be re- moved, although he would not state definitely the cause of the aff1iction, nor the prospect of a cure. There was re0ort current in Westerly last Sat urday that the blindness was caused by drinking Whiskey which contained wood alcohol.

But for the prompt assistance of the ConnecticEt troops at Fort Mansfield.

But for the prompt assistance of the who are there on annual duty tour, and a detachment of regulars. the Halcyon house, formerly the Penn- sular house, at Watch Hill, located on the Mansfield road, adjoining the gov ernment reservation, would have been consumed by fire Wednesday. While the guests were at dinner a soldier in passing discovered a fire on the roof of the Veranda at the east end of the O'Brien and then hurried to the fort and caused he fire alarm call to be sounded.
 In quick time members of the Nor wien ard Danielson companies. and of the SSth company of regulars, carry ing buckets hurried to the burning Halcyon house. By this time the fire had communicated to an upper room and the flames were burning through the roof. A bucket brigade was formed from the beach to the burn ing building and, after fifteen min utes of vigorous work, the fire was under control, and within ten mff1- utes thereafter the final spark was ex- tinguished- The corner and end of the Teranda are all burned, as is also the clapboards on the east end of the building. while several holes are burn ed through the roof and some damage to one bedroom.
 The fire was evidently caused by a lighted cigarette which was carelessIy thrown on the roof from one of the windows. The loss will probably not exceed $500. and the fire will not in terfere with the hotels business. Landlord O'Brien was enthusiastic in his praise of the soldier boys through

The committee appointed to consid- CT the advisability of seeking legis- lative action for the separation of
 Watch Hill from the town of Westerly and becoming an independent town will make report to a special meeting g of the Watch Hill fire district, Mon day Realizing the folly of applying for charter that would have less than thirty bona-fide residents. the promoters have made unsuccessful eff fort to get residents of the Avondale section to favor the scheme. and share the increased burden of taxation, and all for the pleasure of summer resi- dents at Watch Hill.
 The separatists are few in number and it is said they are in the main the same individuals who were the strong est oppohentS to the rebuilding of the Pawcatuck Valley street railroad Now IL IS said that in some instances there was method in the opposition.
 It is a known fact that to complete the proposed improvement of Bay street, which has been undertaken by the Watch Hill fire district, more money than has been appropriated will be required but this work could was completed in that section. This for money in connection with the pro- at least. The taxpaying population of the town of Westerly, aside from the few in the Watch Hill district, do not take this separation idea seriously, and therefore whatever opposition that will be manifested at the meeting will come direct from the. residents of the village of Watch Hill

The trolley road building contractors are pushing the work aIonq as rapidly

ne troIfet rOao bufidfnS ContfdCtOrS are pushing the work along as rapidly as possible and with the least possible inconvenience to the public. The work is handicapped however. in the con tra ctOrS being unable to secure Suf- ficient number of laborers. and there fore the new fails from Pleasant View junction to Watch Hill are not being laid fast as was anticipated at the hearing before the town council when permission was granted to- complete the work, after a restraining injunc- ton had been dissolved by a superior court judge.
 If present plans are not interfered with. the tracks from Pleasant View terminal will be extended two miles toward Weeka paug, before the con- tractors ship their working outfit from Westerly. Near the end of this pro- posed line the trolley company owns a large tract of land with water priv Heges, which will be connected with an amusement park with large pavil- ion for dancing. After this is com pleted the rails will be extended a mile further to Weeka paug, thus mak- ing the amusement park convenient to the sister shore resorts
