DEATH RELIEVES

Man Shot Off Lower Part of His Face in
Suicidal Attempt Died at City
Hospital Last Evening.

AT the City hospital last night shortly
after o'clock, death came to relieve
the slifferings of Cirilio Palaoro, the
Chelsea farmer, who attempted suicide
by shooting himself with shot gun
late Saturday evening. The man was
brought to the hospital in an ambulance
during the afternoon and soon after
his arrival he was rushed to the operat
ing room. There physicians took 80
stitches to close gaping wounds about
the face. Most Of the chin had been
blown off by heavy charge from the
shot gun used by Palaoro to attain his
end There were other terrible injuries
the ether some little time Until the
anesthetic was applied, the man regained
consciousness at intervals, though he
made few attempts to converse. Too
weak to withstand the suffering occa-
stoned by the gun shot wounds, he sank
rapidly after the operation and passed
away at $40 o'clock.
Besides his wife, to whom he had been
marriely nearly Is years, Palaoro leaves
four children, Rosa, Elizabeth, Deleno
and an infant. Two brothers, Augustine
and Fortunate also survive. He was
born in Austria 32 years ago. coming

an employe of Jones Bros. and at other
manufacturing plants around the city,
the man was popular and highly respect
ed. Not until two years ago was his
sanity in doubt and except for GER
tain periods when he was normal, aftes
leaving the state hospital in Waterbury,
he had been changed man. There is
no one who does noe asccibe Palaoro's
act to an unsettled mind. Mrs. Palaoro
and children, as we'll as the brothers,
who were called to Chelsea earIy Sunday
morning, accompanied the man to this
city late yesterday afternoon.

WAS FAMED AS INVENTOR.
Nathan P. Stevens, Native of Barnard
and Formerly of Bethel.

Concord, n. H., Sept. 9.--Nathan p.
Stevens, famed as an inventor of loco
motive machinery, and pioneer in the
electric lighting of Concord, died at his
residence on Center street, yesterday.
Mr.. Stevens was born Jan. Z, 1885,
, son of Andrew and Betsey Page Stevens,
in Barnard, VT, where, and in Bethel he
passed his boyhood. At the age of Ia he
removed to Lowell, Mass, and started
what proved TO be his life's. work in
machine shop OF that city Later he
was employed in the shops 81 the Lowell
and Boston and Old Colony railroads
and when about 80 years of age he came
to Concord, and entered the old North
ern railroad shops.
His first notable invention was a To-
comotiye cylinder packer, which revolu-
tionized locomotive construction of that
period, and is still in use in all the rail
road shops of the country, in Canada
and abroad.
Other inventions for which he secured
patents and which are in wide use were
a cylinder boring bar, a locomotive valve
seat planning machine, and cylinder
facing machine, of which he took up
the manufacture when he severed his
connection with the Northern railroad,
and continued until advancing years
compelled retirement from active effort.
In 1883, with the late A. S. Ham
mond, he established the first electric
lighting plant in Concord and for
period of about three years lighted the
business portion OF Main street from
the station located in the basement of
the Dow building on Bridge street,
which was badly damaged in the fire
which gutted the block on the night of
July 3, 1890. In the latter year the
plant was sold to the Concord Gas Light
company, but Mr.. Stevens continued to
operate it until the station on Bridge
street was placed in operation. He was
quick to recognize the value of the new
agent and was the first man in the couH
try engaged in manufacture to estab-
lish a three-phase motor in his shop.
During his long career many other in
ventions, the product of his mind, and
but the principal output of his shop was
the machines noted above.
Mr. Stevens had five brothers, all of
whom figured prominently in the rail-
road world as master mechanics of some
OF the largest systems IN the country.
All OF them preceded him to the grave,
as did his three sisters
He was member of the First Baptist |
church. He was man Of strong per-
sonality, and those who had business /
dealings with him, as well as those who /
were permitted to know him, held him |
in the highest respect and esteem, aud |
