the banks stood the run win do much TO
restore confidence all over the country, q
IL shows that the legitimate banks are
strong.
In interviews just had by the Evening
Posts correspondent with officials of banks
doing q commercial business, the opinion
was universally expressed that as the run
is now over the banks here will be more
liberal In assisting customers who show
that they deserve help, and that failures
will decrease. The cashier of . large
national bank said that q good many of the
failures that have recsntly occurred In
commercial circles ought net to have been
allowed, and had the banks with whom
they did business extended their usual line
Of loans, the concerns would have gone
through all right; but the banks cannot be
blamed for their caution, IS they did not
know where lightning would strike, hence
they wanted to be prepared. But the scare

confidence. 1 also think that every rspu-

Condition OF British Crops.

LONDON, June S.-The Times publishes
to day specially compiled reports of the
present position of the British crope. Ger
cal crops generally are below the average
In England and Wales, but are good In
Scotland. English and Welsh wheat Ia IL
per cent, English barley % per cent, and
Welsh IA per cent below the average.
Scotch barley is equal to the average. Eng.
lish oats are "a per cent. and Welsh IA per
cent. below and Scotch oats SO per cent
above the average. English beans are 80
per cent. and Welsh beans 20 PER cent be-
low, and Scotch beans are slightly above
the average. The feeling in England and
Wales regarding the prospects generally is
very depressed, and II has been repeatedly
stated that this hss been the worst season
ever known for winter feed. The drought
seems to have completely dried up the
crops. The Times sums up the whole sit
uation by saying that the difficulties appear
to be SO great that a continuation of them
will lead inevitably to general agricultural
disaster, and that some unforeseen circum-
stances must arise to avert the ruin of
farmers.

Three Opinions by the Federal Court
-JudGes Wood ana jenkins for
Shutting the Fair Gates on Sunday.
CHICAGO, June 8.-The judges of the
federal court have failed to agree upon the
proper policy to be pursued on the quss-
tion of closing the worlds fair on Sunday.
A great crowd of lawyers and others were
surprised this morning by . procedure
unknown before In the history of the fed
eral court In the northern district of ILL.,
nois.
Whsn Judges Wood, Jenkins and Gross
cup took their seats on the bench Judge
Woods announced that the court would
pass upon the motion for an injunction
made by the United States against the
worlds Columbian exposition. Judge
Woods said that he and his as
sociates entertained different yisvs
on certain important points and that each
OF them would formulate his ideas In an
individual opinion. The Judge then In
long opinion gave his views of the case and
decided that the prayer for an Injunction
was we'll grounded and that the fair should
day.
Judge Jenkins agreed with Judge Wood
on the main point in the worlds fair In
junction proceedings, and also decided that
the Injunction must be Issued and the fair
closed on Sunday.
Judge Grosscup holds that the fair may
be kept open.
Attorney Walker for the exposition gave
notice of an application for an appeal, and
1t is probable that after all the fair may
not close on Sunday, as q supersedeas will
probably be obtained pending the final de-
cision of the supreme court.

Before resuming his testimony Mr.

In a Wreck at East LftchheldnKarly
Yesterday Morning. 49, -
WIEsTKp, June S.-The Naugatuck rail-
road experienced a. small wreck at East
Litchfsld at O'Clock this morning which
delayed passenger trains awhile. Brake
man John Casey of Waterbury, one of the
well known brakemen on this division, WAS
slightly injured. The train WAS under full
steam, when the car to which the caboose
was attached left the rails and plunged to
one side, clearing the track. The caboose
also followed the detected box car by leav-
ing the rails. The track was badly torn up
but the wrecking crew from Waterbury had
the road ready for traffic at o'clock. The
train known as pier freight No. 1893 was in
charge of Conductor John Maloney and
Engineer Peter Ward, and due in Winsted
at 7:30 every morning. The cause of the
accident Is battling to rsilroaders. Many
tn. nix the spreading of a rail caused the
accident. while others think a defective
truck was the chief cause. The injured
brakeman was standing on top of the
wrecked car, and was whirled to such
distance as to save his life, for had he at
tempted to make merely jump to leave
the car, he would have been caught under
the heavy car and probably crushed to
death
