Giuseppe Giorno, G. resident of Pearl street, Westerly, was fatally injured Saturday morning by being struck by . work car of the Norwich and West eFly Traction company when at a point near the Sweeney Switch, on the Ash away and Westerly branch. The car was on its way to AshaWay for 8 load of ties when Giorno suddenly emerged from a lot through @ marrow gateway and stepped directly into the narrow space between the rails and the gate way. The work car whistle was sounded and the foreman of the work crew, who was alongside the motor man, gave shouts of warning. which were not needed by Giorno. The brakes were applied and every effort made to stop the car. but this could not be done in time to prevent strik- ing Giorno, who was walking towards tho track. He was partially facing the moving Car and was struck in the right breast, thrown beside the track, and rendered unconscious.
 The car immediately proceeded to Westerly to summon medical aid and the foreman of the working crew with three of his men were left to care for the injured man. The office of Dr. Charles P. Crandall was the first to be reached and he was summoned to so to the aid of Giorno.

Homer As a Rerortsr.

Sutherland Edwards in an article on war correspondence, classes the ten years siege of Troy among the myths of history. Homer was sent out to Troy to describe the incidents of the siege of an Argos paper, the tChronos.' The war lasted about as long as the seven weeks war of our time. But when it was at an end the Greek chiefs had no desire whatever to go home; and as Homer Cor OfIaher. to give his name in its original un-Hellenised form) was a very good fellow and drew a large salary, with an abundant all lowance for expenses from the Chro- nos,' he readily accepted the idea pro- posed by the wise Ulysses-to keep the war going in the columns of his paper as long as he could manage to write about 1t. His correspondence was too good not to publish; and meantime the Greek chiefs went about amusing themselves s.-London Chronicle

Samuel p. Lawton, who was born in Kingston 85 years ago, died Sunday morning from the effects of burns sustained Saturday night. He retired early and, as was his custom, started to smoke his pipe before going to sleep. He lighted a match and in trying to light his pipe set fire to the bed clothes. Mrs. Lawton, who was in an adjoining room, heard the cries of her husband and was mortified to find him standing in the room enveloped in flames. She seized a rug and smoth- cred the flames and in so doing her hands were severely burned Dr. Har- old Kenyon was summoned, but Mir. Lawton was so severely burned that he never regained consciousness.
 MT. LaWton spent nearly all his life in Westerly and was for years en- ployed by MaXson & company and the c. B. Cottrell & Sons company, but has done no work for the past 15 years.

 The report that Giorno deliberately walked in front of the moving car with suicidal intent is not credited by those who knew the man, nor by the men on the work car who witnessed the accident, as they claim it should be termed. AS Giorno had been sick for several days, it is believed that he was probably so depressed mentally that he did not realize the danger of his position and was unable to act with promptness whereby the injury could have been averted. Giorno never regained consciousness after being struck, and Dr. Crandall from the first did not think there was but a thread of hope of recovery. Giorno's right shoulder and arm were fractured, SeV- eral ribs broken and the lungs pune tured. Giorno had resided in Westerly for several years and is referred to as 0 hard-working and industrious man, of good habits, and devoted to his wife and family.
