Elisha Voglar, one of the linemen 
employed in placing new conduits 
under ground for the N.F.T. & T. 
Co., at Beverly Farms, met with a 
bad accident Wednesday. He was as- 
sisting at placing one of the heavy 
reels of wire on jacks when one of 
the jacks slipped and the weight of 
the coil—nearly a ton—fell on him, 
straining his back terribly. One of 
the ligaments was torn from his 
shoulder. He was taken to the en- 
gine house and the ambulance was 
called from Beverly to take him to the 
Beverly hospital.

ture and gymnastics will take place in 
Neighbor’s hall tomorrow evening,

The young ladies connected with 
the Farms Baptist church, making up 
a party of twenty or more, are visit- 
ing Boston today to see “The World 
in Boston,” at the Mechanics build- 
ing. 
From many expressions heard, it 
can be judged that the suggestion of 
the Farms freight yard being changed 
from its présent location to the other 
side of West street on a portion of 
the Linehan property, is not a popu- 
lar one. 
The new and larger water service 
pipe, which the City Water Dept. 
have put in recently to supply the es- 
tates in the Paine place at Pride’s, 
seems now to have eliminated all the 
complaints of the past from this sec- 
tion, as it gives at the present time a 
strong water pressure. Before the 
new service was installed much com- 
plaint was heard because the low 
pressure was unable to give the ser- 
vice needed. 
Station Agent Wm. H. Gerrish of 
Pride’s, with Mrs. Gerrish and daugh- 
ter Mildred, are enjoying their vaca-

to a little baby girl which came to the 
home of her brother and sister-in-law, 
in Salem, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis 
Voorhees (Amy Griffith). Both are 
well known here. 
A topic of conversation about the 
Farms, at the present time, is the 
poor side walks and the sincere hope 
that something will be started that 
will be a move toward a general im- 
provement along the line of giving 
the walking population some atten- 
tion. ‘The sidewalks are all without 
edgestones, very rough, and in many 
places very dusty. 
Rev. Nicholas R. Walsh of St.

proved.

iting friends at the Farms. 
The foreign office staff of the 
king’s house service messengers has 
just lost one of its members, to whose 
nickname, “Sir Joseph,’ a story be- 
longs. It occurred when Mr. Cham- 
berlain was at the colonial office. 
One night, or rather very early in 
the morning, the messenger was sent 
to Prince’s gardens with an impor- 
tant cabinet circular. Mr. Chamber- 
lain was working late and had sent 
all his servants to bed, and the mes- 
senger had to wait a long time before 
getting an answer to his knock. 
At last he gave a thundering rat- 
tat and presently had the satisfaction 
of seeing some one whom he sup- 
posed to be the butler appear in an- 
swer to his call, wearing a plain smok- 
ing jacket and smoking a clay pipe. 
“Oh! said! the» messenger, “you 
have. come at  last-orhave? you? 
‘Dheéere’s. io hurry. It's “only een 
od Nf 
message from the prime minister.” 
The “butler” smiled serenely, and 
the messenger then recognizing his 
man, stammered out: “I beg your 
pardon, Sir Joseph, I have a dis- 
patch box for you.”—Bristol Echo. 
The last course was being brought 
on, and little John, who had partaken 
of each previous one, looked up and 
said: “Oh, this one will faint me 
away.”
