ONE VICTIM OF vEsUv1Us.
the Bu1ning Mountain Fifty
Years Ago.

There came near being tragedy on
Mount Vesuyius recently, when several
ladies' ventured too near the crater
ard were. all but swept away by
streams of molten lava which poured
from the mountain. This fact recalls
the sad death nearly so years ago of
Mr.. Charles Carroll Bayard, of Della,
ware, who had many relatives in Mary
land and was widely known in this
state.
The accident which cost Mr.. Bayard
Lis life happened in 1850. He was an
officer in the navy and, arriving at
Naples, a party Of naval officers and
others was made up to visit the crater
of Vesuvius, which was then semi
active. Among those with him was
the late Charles Tucker Carroll, of Bal
timore, father of Mr.. J. Howell Carroll,
now United States consul at Cadiz. Mr..
Bayard was the brother Of the late
Richard B. Bayard, father of Mr.. Rich
+ ard H. Bayard, of Baltimore, and a rel
alive of the late Thomas F. Bayard..
The party mad reached the summit
of the mountain, when suddenly there
was shower Of red-hot st ones thrown
high in the air. All hands took to their
heels, and a few moments later Giscov-
cred that Mr.. Bayard was lying on the
ground behind them. One of the heavy.
stones had struck him on the arm,
making a frightful wound. He was
taken back to Naples and given the
tenderest nursing, but he died, and his
body is buried there, his tomb having
been suitably marked In later years.
A strange thing about the accident
was the fact that Mr.. Bayard was loath
to make the trip which ended in his
death. He had presentiment that he
ought not to go, and even in the car-
rage on the way to the mountain top
he caused thevehicle to be stopped and
declared that he would get out and
walk back to Naples. His companions
demonstrated with him and tried to
convince him that his presentimerit
was but a foolish fancy, and he finally
consented to accompany the party.
When he was hurt none of his friends.
had the slightest idea that he was ia
tally injured and believed that he
would be well in few weeks Not so

you like, but you cannot save my life.

started for the mountain, and now
that this has happened am convinced
that nothing can save me-"
he was right. Helingerel forSbout

THIS MAN HAD NERVE.

Derby. Dec. 6.-Martin Wilson, an employe of the Ousatonic Water com pany while out on the coping stones of the company's big dam across the Housatonic where he was removing the flash boards met with peculisp, ex- perience yesterday. Over foot e Wa ter was running over the dam and his work was peri'ous at best, but while at the center of the dam large field of ice swept down behind him He saw the danger and sprang on to the ice, rolling over and over as it passed beneath him over the dam, finally roll ing off the rear end into the shallow water above the copings.
 Had he been swept over the cake he would have met instant death on the apron of the dam beneath.

Brilliant Victory for New Haven Waterbury Vanquished 10 Goals to 8.

Brilliant Victory for New Haven
 Waterbury Vanquished 10 Goals to 8.
 The New Haven polo team broke it's long string of defeats last night by completely outplaying the Waterbury Tigers at Bowling hall. It was an old time polo crowd, an old time polo game and ye old time form of the ex-cham- pions of the National league. It was more, it was also a record goal game. Bone caught the rush after the eighth goal, came down the surface like streak of lightning, caught the ball and with powerful blow sent 1t up against the boarding behind the cage. It re- bounded back and over the top and handsome Al. Swords in trying to clear his goal pulled it in. Referee Lush blew his whistle. It only took four seconds to cage the ball.
 The game was full of brilliant plays, in which the Blues excelled. They started out with a winning gait, Bone taking the rush. Waterbury at once assumed the defensive. Occasionally Roberts would break away, but only to be brought to bay by Leydon and Whiting. After repeated attempts to down Swords, Bone sent in one of his beautiful drives from the side, which "Al." was unable to hold and the crowd almost cheered themselves hoarse. Shortly after Bone sent in another. This time the ball lodged behind the netting. Again the crowd showed their approval of the home teams playing by wildly cheering.
 Waterbury now assumed the aggres- sive style of playing, Roberts and Grif- fin doing some splendid work, which soon came to an end when "Hobe'' Whiting and Leydon appeared on the
 scene. Roberts, however scored a goal for Waterbury by his clever manipula- tion of the ball. The crowd heartily
 cheered him. The next goal went to l the home team by a pass by Bone to Whiting, who poked it into the goal.
 The fifth and last goal of the first
 period was caged by "Hooe' Whiting. The sixth goal was caged by Bone by
 beautiful pass from Leydon.
 The next goal was caged by Leydon,
 who is playing a great game for a man who is playing out of his position. He WdS IOuliuiy ClltSISu The eighth goal which was won by Waterbury, was won by smart piece
 of play on the part of Griffin and Rob-
 erts, the latter just catching the ball
 at the mouth of the cage and landing it safe behind Lations.
 With the exception of the quick rush by Bone and the scoring of the goal by Swords, this making the ninth goal nothing was done by Waterbury, the
 home team having everything thei1
 own way.
 In the third period the home players took things easier, they playing more
 of passing game. When the gong hae sounded for the game to end the score
 stood New Haven 10, Waterbury 3.
 The features of the game was the | playing of Bone and Leydon, wht
 worked together like charm, Leydor especially showing up well. "HobeF
 Whiting and w.. Whiting also played
 star game, and tLations was stone
 wall at goal For Waterbury Roberts and Griffin excelled.
 Summary-Goals: New Haven 10 Waterbury 8. Stops: Lations 20, Swords | 22 Fouls: Holderness, w. Whiting.

EARTH TOO WARM.
Agriculturalists Not Pleased With the
 Great Depth of Snow.

Agriculturalists Not Pleased With the
 Great Depth of Snow.
 The annual depth of snow, coming so early in the season, before the ground had been frozen, is not considered by close observers good thing for next summers agricultural season. If the ground had been frozen to a depth of a few inches and the snow had come on and remained until spring, it would have been very desirable, but as it is, unless the snow melts away and gives the ground opportunity to freeze before more snow appears, there will be trouble with destructive insects next season. One of the well posted agri- culturalists in the city said the other day that hard frosts penetrating the earth to a certain depth were necessary in order that the larvae of destructive insects might be killed. Otherwise the insects would breed in such profusion that farmers and foresters would have all they could do to keep the potato bug, the army worm, the caterpillar, the elm tree beetle and other pests from over running vegetation and practically de. stroying it.

OBITU4RT NOTES,
Death of Miss Harriet A. B. pundersou

Death of Miss Harriet A. E. PundersOn.
 In the death of Miss Harriet A. B. Punderson, who passed away last even- ing at her home, the old homestead of the family, 33S Whalley avenue, cor ner of Winthrop avenue, a lady whose long life had been spent in New Haven, whose influence was ever cast on the side of whatever was wholesome, wor- thy and good, has passed away to the better land for which her long life was a preparation. She was one of the oldest members of Center church, de- voted to the means of grace, a faith ful attendant upon divine worship even in her advanced years, and she took de- light in seeing and hearing of the spread of the gospel of Christ She was humanitarian, and contributed to the maintenance of the Connecticut Humane society, of which she was a member, and we believe also formerly an officer. She was also warmly inter- ested in the work of the Seamen's Friend society. She loved to see birds and animals well treated and one of her pleasures was to feed the song sters which dwelt in the vicinity of her abode. or visited there. She died in the house where she was born. Her death was caused by apoplexy. About ten days ago she was taken i'll, but her physician, Dr. B. H. Cheney, had hopes of her recovery until yesterday, when apoplexy setin. She was very active and alert bodily and mentally up to her last illness and one of her last trips in- to the center of the city was to attend the funeral of the late Thomas R. Trowbridse Her last visit was about two weeks ago at the office of her at torney and former neighbor, Judge Livingston w. Cleaveland. She was the daughter of Miles Punderson, whose farm occupied the terri tory in the vicinity of the quaint old fashioned house of Miss Punderson, and the house was erected by her father. She was a cousin of our townsman, Iemuel Punderson, of the former firm of Puhderson & Crisand. A brother of the deceased removed to Bal timore, where he was engaged in mer- cantile business. He died there when still a young man, many years ago.
