LIT WAS DISASTROUS.
Great Ravages Made in East Hart ford's Tobacco Fields-The Damage Estimated at SIOO,OOO.

| Great Ravages Made in East Hart ford's Tobacco Fields-The Damage
 Estimated at $1OO,oOO.
 HARTFORD, July 19.-The cyclonic storm | accompanied with hail, which passed over this city yesterday afternoon, made terri ble havoc with the tobacco crop In the town of East Hartford, the largest
 tobacco growing district in the fertile Connecticut valley. The forward tobacco | crop is entirely ruined and whole fields of the plants, which before the storm were looking exceedingly we'll and promised large returns to their owners, are only worth ploughing under as fertilizers to- day. The damage is limited to the town of East Hartford, scarcely spreading to the north or south of the town. There were about 900 acres of tobacco under cultivation. This costs from $150 to $180 an acre to raise, cut and cure, and at last years prices would bring about $400 an
 acre when ready for harvest.
 The greater part of the crop Is of no value whatever, the leaves having been
 riddled with hail. The larger and more fourishing the plant the greater the dam
 age. In few cases where late crop,
 succeeding others, was planted, the smaller
 plants will survive and may net about one
 third of crop. There are now no plants
 to be had foi replanting and if there were the season is too far advanced, as 1t takes sixty days to grow the crop, and an carly frost may ruin it.
 The total loss will certainly exceed $100, ,000 and may be much greater. It is a serious blow to the farmers, who in most cases lease the land and owe for the fertil- izers, the cost of which is about $75 per acre.
 The average tobacco farmer depends upon his crop to pay rent UT interest on mortgages, his bills at the city stores and support his family through the winter.
 There has not been like storm in this vicinity in twenty-five years, and desols tion prevails all through the town of East Hartford. The hailstones were not large, but plentiful, and completely ruined the tobacco leaves by puncturing them.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY,

Three Persons Badly Injured at
 Winsted-Horses Take Fright and
 Turning Suddenly Throw the Occu-
 pants From the Carriage-The In-
 jured Doing as Well as Could be
 Expected.
 TWISTED, July 19.-A serious runaway ia which three persons were badly injured occurred on Main street here this afternoon about o'clock. MT. George Max6e1d of New Hartford was driving carriage drawn by two horses and containing his wife and Mrs. Charles Maxfeld on Main street when the horses became frightened and started on run up the street. MT. Max6eld was unable to control them and opposite Candy's bottling works some dis tance up the street they turned in toward the stone wall. The carriage struck the wall and both of tho ladies were thrown out. The horses then went directly across the street and turned around, starting back down the street. MT. Maz6eld succeeded in keeping his place in the carriage, and had 1t not been for this fact the maddened ami mals would have run over both of the la dies, who lay in the street. MT. axfeld turned them to one side and was himself thrown out. All three were removed to houses near by and doctors were summon ed. It was found that MT. Maxfeld had sustained dislocated shoulder and was badly cut about the head. Mrs. George Maxfield had one rib broken and was seri- ously cut, while Mrs. Charles Maxfield es- capped with number of bad cuts. The physicians do not think that the injuries will prove serious.
 A further examination by Drs. Welch and Hurlburt this evening revealed the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Max6eld are more seri ously injured than at first supposed. Two of Mir. Maxfeld's ribs are broken and his arm is broken above the wrist, while the dislocation and injury to his shoulder is also severe. It is also feared that he is in- jured internally. Mrs. George Maxfeld's arm is broken and Mrs. Charles Maxfeld's hand is badly mangled. The latter was taken to her house in New Hartford to- night. The others are being cared for at the Winsted house. After the horses had thrown MT. Msxfeld from the carriage they continued down the street and col. hded with three other teams, all of which were more or less damaged. /

The State Leagues Shoot Yesterday
 in AnsOnfa.
 ANsoNIA, July 19.-The sixth meeting of the Connecticut Trapshooters' league was held on the grounds of the Ansonia Rod and Gun club here today. The team race in which the greatest interest was centered was won by the New Haven team for the fifth time, and assuring that team of first place for the season. There were about forty trapahooters present to participate in the individual events of the day, and teams were present from six cities. The fact that Hartford was not represented was something of 8 disappointment, as 1t was thought that the team from that city would give the New Haven team the hard est fight for first place to day. Owing to 8 poor background and bad wind the scores to day were unusually low. The teams score was as follows: New Haven. 7S out of possible 90,. Wll1imantic 72, Bristol/70, New London 63, Ansonia 62 and Bridgeport 50. The best individual score was made by Frsuk Potter of New Haven, who scored 29 out of possible 30. There are to be two more shoots this season. The next is Bristol and the last in New Haven.
