BERLIN MAN DROWNED
James T. Mclean Meets Death in .Ac- cidcntaE Fall From New Haven Bridge Into Quinnipiac River.

James T. Mclean of Berlin was accidentally drowned by falling off the Middletown avenue bridge over the Quinnipiac river in New Haven last night. The mans body did not rise to the surface last night or this morning. The Grand avenue police station took charge of the report and men from that station started to drag the river for the body this morning. Its finding has not been reported.
 New Haven reports gave McLean's employment as a worker for the Ber- lin Bridge company of Berlin. This name is identical with that of the Berlin Construction company where officials stated this afternoon that they have no record of such a man in their employ. The company did not receive the contract for the Middletown avenue bridge and there fore think some mistake has been made concerning his place of em- ployment.
 Mclean was between 55 and 60 years of age. Not much information concerning him could be learned this afternoon.
