by one of the board, a special town 
meeting will have to be called before

Edwin M. Barrington, who played 
on the Gloucester base-ball nine here 
last Saturday, had a narrow escape 
from sudden death in Boston last 
Sunday. As the steamer Mt. Desert, 
on which his father is purser, was 
about to leave Union wharf, the young 
man pushed his way through a crowd 
of 500 excursionists to tell his father 
Mrs. Barrington was dying. As he 
did so a 600-pound weight attached to 
the gang-plank fell from its fasten- 
ings and crushed him to the wharf. 
Both legs and his left hip were broken 
and he received internal injuries. The 
young man was hurried to the Relief 
hospital and later to the City hospital, 
where his condition has been closely 
watched during the week by the phy- 
sicians. Mr. Barrington has the sym- 
pathy of his Manchester friends.
