Mr. Alfred Johnson has returned to Newport, R. L, where he has been engag ed in important war work for the past year. His short vacation was spent with his sister, Mrs. William V. Pratt, at their summer home, here, The Alfred Johnson Homestead, Primrose Hill. During his visit Mr. Johnson attended the first meeting of the men who have come back from overseas, held in Memo rial hall, one of the regular meetings of the Home Guard in the Armory, and the first gathering of the Alumni of the Bel fast High School at the City Park. He seemed very much interested in the movement to raise money for our new High school and after hearing of Miss Crosby’s generous and public-spirited gift, explained in full by Mayor Wescott to the gathering, he offered to be respon sible for raising the last thousand dollars necessary to complete the fund. He was also present at the cabaret giv en by the Nortliport Country Club and in his opinion the skit by Mr. Cobe, and the work by Messrs. Chase and ParKer and the other artists was fully up to anyth ng of the kind that the Newport people have been in the habit of putting on for the thirty- two thousand sailor boys stationed there throughout the war. During his stay he made a trip down the bay in the cabin cruiser I.ouise, Capt. William Decrow, when visits were made with the Hon. Andrew J. Peters, Mayor of Boston, and Prof. Julian Cooiidge of Harvard University, both of whom have summer homes at North Haven, and with Charles Dana Gibson, Ksq., at Seven Hundred Acre Island. Rev. William Brewster, Bishop of Maine, who was staying with Mr. and Mrs. Gibson at the time, expressed himself as very much pleased with the work being done here at the S’. Margaret’s Chapel and hopes to visit Belfast oftener than he was able to do while war conditions existed. After leaving Belfast Mr. Johnson was a guest of Commodore Arthur Curtiss James on his auxiliary bark-rigged yacht Aloha, one of the finest and largest yachts in the world. During the war she was loaned to the U. S Government by the owner and manned with heavy guns and a Navy crew. She was the llag ship of Admiral Winslow, I . S. N., who used her in his inspection trips along the whole Atlantic coast and in Kuropean waters. MRS. FRANK PALMER WILSON.

I obinson of 74 Union s reef, a lineman of the Wes tern Union, was seriously injured at noon Saturday while at work on the wires at the pole on the junction of Bridge and High streets He was struck and knock ed down by a five passenger Overland car, owned and driven by Mrs. Phil p P. Haskell of Deer Isle. She was on her way to Portland and was accompanied i by Evelyn Banks of Deer Isle and Harry j M. Parker of Hampden Highlands. James i Nickerson, machinist at Bank’s Garage, I was standing in the door near the corner and saw the car come up Bridge street. He says she was driving between twelve and fifteen miles an hour. That she evi dently intended to go over High street to Main and blew her whistle, but seeing there was not room to taKe that street without running over the workmen, swung her car evidently to continue up Bridge or go up High street. Mr. Robinson, who apparently did not hear what was said to j him or notice which way Mrs. Haskell turned her car, stepped directly in front of it and was thrown violently to the ground. He was taken directly to the Waldo County Hospital and Dr. Carl H. Stevens was called. He was found to have fractured his upper jaw and one of his legs was badly bruised. Mrs. Haskell j went with City Marshal Knowlton to his ofiice in the city building where she re mained until he investigated the case, She did all she could to assist him. She also saw Mr. Robinson and his wife and left her address with Mr. Knowlton, who later in the afternoon allowed her to con tinue her trip to Portland and did not at tach any blame to her for the accident. Mr. Knowlton says her statements coin- j cide exactly with Mr. Nickerson’s. She said she had perfect control of her car and had her foot on the brake. She also said she did everything in her power to prevent the accident, which she deeply regretted....Mr. Michael J. Collins had a very narrow escape at noon Saturday j when his horse became frightened on Spring street and freeing himself from the cart pulled Mr. Collins about 20 feet ! along the street. Mr. Collins’ only injury was a badly bruised hip. PERSONAL Miss Mildred Ryau of Rockland s the guest of Miss Madeline Coombs. Roscoe B.
