TIIROWN FIVE FEET IN THE AIR.
The Result of Young Frail l'ilser's Bane
with is Trolley Car.
About 5:300’clock last evening, Fred-
die Piizer, the son oi Gustav Piizer, the
Railroad place barber, mounted bis bi-
cycle at his home on Sin irr. avenue and
started for South Norwalu on an errand.
On North Main street he engaged in a
race with a trolley car. When he reach-
ed apoint about opposite the rules of
Crofutdt Knapp‘s No 1' factory, is man
driving a horse came along from the
opposite direction. The wagon struck
young Piizer and his machine, crowding
them into the gutter, and the lad was
thrown about five feet in the a‘;‘, landing
on the sidewalk. He was iomewhat
dezed and suffered 1., eat pain, and it
was feared that some of his bones were
broken.
Friends hastened to the boy's assist-
ance, and another wlieelrnau to is down
street and notified Mr. Pilzar, who went
in the acne and curled his son to his
shop, where his injuries were attended
to. The p.1ncipal ones werea painful
hurt on his hip and a sprained right
ankle. Fred was subsrquenlly removed
to his home. Whi'e his injuries are not
especially serious, it will be some time
before the young wheelman entirely re-
covers irom their effects.
The man who raninlo him Whipped
up his horse and lost no time in getting
out of sight. Fred was on the r-glrt side
of the street, and naturally feels rome-
wbat indignant at the lack of concern
shown by the individual who, many
people think, purposely mu hm down.

amounting to $15 or 3520

found the room filled wiih smoke, which
came from the cellar, When Mr. Byx-

tho Lennon of the l‘lut church.
The lecture-room of the Siuth Nor-
walk Methodist Episcopal church was
the scene of a most congenial gathering
of yvung people last evening. It was
the occasion of the annual social and
busiaers meeting of the Epworih League
and Was attended by about fifty mem-
bers The social features were under
the efficient charge of Miss Minnie God-
frey, who had arranged a short program
ms in the form of a musical. After a
season of good cheer, the exercises of the
areal g were Opened with an inspiring
select n by the Moss Hill orchestra.
So well was it rendered that they were
obliged to respond to an encore. Miss
Bodwcll then sang a pleasing solo, and
Mrs Sinuson and Miss Fox were heard
in a duet, their voices blending very
sweetly. The orchestra again favored
the uulience with several selecliins,
each of which “as encored. This part
of the entertainment was a delightful
feature, and the arisis did ihemsnlwi
great credit.
After’ a short intermission, the busi-
ness meeting opened with prayer and a
scriptural reading by the chairman of the
religious department, 11. B. Slauson.
The president then took the chair. The
secretary read the minutes, and also a
communication from the president of
the disirict,extending an invitation to

to the Epworth meeting held in ihe
Greenpoint tabernacle, whichwas followed
bya few remarks by the pastor, who,
during the evening, was among the
most active in contributing to the social
success of the affair.
The meeting was certainly one of
great pleasure and success. The Lutgue
