Edward Laferty. 
Edward Laferty of Beverly Farms, 
after two weeks confinement at Bev- 
erly hospital as a result of a paralytic 
shock, passed away at that institution 
last week. Funeral services over his 
remains were held at the Star of the 
Sea. church, Beverly, Saturday and 
burial was in Salem. 
Mr. Laferty was about 47 years 
old. He wasa native of Ireland, and 
relatives in Glasgow, Scotland, now 
survive him. For almost a score of 
years he has been employed by 
Connolly Bros., at Beverly Farms, 
and was always regarded as one of the 
most faithful workmen. 
Everybody at the Farms knew 
‘‘ Ned,’ as he was called. He wasa 
character, always bubbling over with 
true Irish wit. One story that will 
always be told of him happened one 
summer morning as he was driving 
through Black Swamp toward Man- 
chester. It was shortly after he ar- 
rived from his native home. A circus 
procession was going over the road 
from Gloucester to Salem and the 
horse driven by ‘ Ned,” taking ob- 
jections to a massive big elephant, 
bolted into the” woods, toppling over 
the carriage and its occupant. Later, 
on being asked hew the accident hap- 
pened, Laferty replied : 
Why, mon; there was th’t big thing 
a-backin’ down on me; enough to 
scare-any mon.” ‘Ned’ thought 
the elephant’s trunk to be his tail.

At the meeting of the Beverly 
Board of Aldermen, Thursday even-

sioners be petitioned to construct a

Boyle and Hale streets at Chapman’s 
Corner through to the Manchester

shall’s corner around by the beach. 
The order was adopted.

Stepped Off Moving Train. 
There came near being .a serious 
accident at the Pride’s Crossing station 
Tuesday evening. Lawyer A. M. 
Donahue of Gloucester was on the 
train, which leaves there about 5.45 
for Manchester and Gloucester, and 
as the train started, thinking it was 
Gloucester station, he jumped off. 
Though the train was not moving 
very swiftly at the time, the unfortu- 
nate man was thrown to the ground 
with considerable force and received © 
a bad scalp wound. The train was 
stopped and Mr. Donahue picked up.
