Trenton, N. J., Dec. 8. - THOMAS HOTCHKISS, a "rougher" in Roeblings' rolling mill, met a shocking death today. He was stepping down to repair a break when a red hot iron rod from the rolls ran into his bowels, passing out above his waist. He lived only a few minutes after the accident. HOTCHKISS came here from Worcester, Mass.

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 2. – Flames broke out in the cellar of the Livingston Public School to-day when the afternoon session was partly over and the alarm was not given until after the fire had obtained considerable headway. The children responded promptly to the fire drill commands, and all went well until it was found that the fire had eaten its way from the cellar up under the stairway and was burning the stairs.

The teachers and children on the first floor had little trouble in getting out, but those on the second floor were imprisoned with the fire burning between them and the doorway below, and panic ensued. The only recourse was to jump from the windows. A big crowd gathered around the building within a few moments, and from the near-by houses quickly carried blankets, quilts, and comfortables. These were held beneath the windows, and into them the children jumped. About 125 made the leap, most of them landing safely.

Alice SHAW, ten years old, jumped too soon and fell on...

RESCUING PHYSICIANS HAVE TO CLIMB IT TO REACH LIMP BODY - THE 193d FATALITY.

Special to The New York Times.
Trenton, N.J., Oct. 3. - With women fainting and men turning their heads away that they might not see, CHARLES F. WALSH, an aviator, plunged to his death in the presence of more than 50,000 persons at the Inter-State Fair here late this afternoon. He fell a distance of 2,000 feet, breaking every bone in his body and only living a few moments after his fall.

WALSH, who was only about 25 years old, had been startling the fair crowds all week with his daring flying, in which he not only raced an automobile around a half-mile track, but also made sensational "dip of death" descents from high altitudes.

He soared upward nearly 4,000 feet today, then came down half way to earth and began his circling glide. Scarcely had he begun it when a wing of his frail machine collapsed and he, with his craft, commenced falling to the ground. A gasp of horror went up from the army of...
