Mixed Those Items Up.

A ludicrous transposition occurred in the make-up of a couple of telegraphic items in the New Haven Journal and Couriei' the other day which produced the following effect: “A large castiron wheel, revolving 900 times per minute, exploded in that city yesteiday after a long and painful illness. D@-

ceased was a prominent thirty-second-degree Mason.” This w»? followed by the second item, which read; “ John Fadden, the well-known florist and realestate broker of Newport, B. 1., died in Wardner & Bussell’s sugar mill, at Crystal Lake, 111., or Saturday, doing $3,000 damage to tbe building and injuring several workmen, and Lorenzo Wilcox fatally.”
