WEST HAVEN.

The members of the Orange Chautau- qua circle of West Haven closed their years work Monday night with a re- ception at the home of Mrs M. J. Adams, 163 Elm street. The house was very prettily decorated with dai- sies, ferns and Japanese lanterns. A musical and literary programme was given, and lemonade, ice cream and cake were served during the evening. Postmaster Howarth, president of the New Haven Chautauqua union, made an excellent address.
 As Miss Gertrude M. Cummings of 57 Center street was riding her wheel yes- terday she got caught at Church street corner of Congress avenue between a Congress avenue car and one of the Narragansett Brewing companys trucks. The horses attached to the beer truck started up suddenly and Miss Cummings fell prostrate under their feet One of the animals stepped on the young woman's hip but she was extri- cated from her position by Patrolman Dargan before she was seriously injur- ed She was taken to the office of her father, Dr. James w. Cummings in the Woods building.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Stamford June 20.-A shocking acci- dent occurred here yesterday when James Reilly, son of the late Thomas Reilly, sustained serious injuries by fall ing some twenty feet from a cherry tree, striking directly upon a picket fence.
 Reilly Is now in the Stamford hos pital, where it is reported that he may recover, notwithstanding the terrible injuries received.
 One of the pickets entered Reilly's side just above the hip and below the lowest rib, penetrating the abdomen about five inches. It did not, however, enter Iii straight line, but took down. ward course and 1t is thought that fatal injuries were escaped by reason of this fortunate circumstance.

CONFERENCE OF AMERICAN
 ZIONISTS.

Delegates from the individual Zionist societies established throughout the country are now convened at Baltimore Md. Zionism, which is comparatively new movement, is gaining sadherents daily and tends to eclipse the most san guine hopes of it's founders. One Of the main objects of Zionism is the redemp- ton of Palestine from the sultan and it's consequent repopulation by the Jews. In all parts of Europe, Asia, Africa ana Australia the propaganda is most ac- tive In the German and Austrian em- pires in Great Britain, France, Russia and Roumania it includes among it's fol- lowers the elite of the Jewish race
 Rabbi z. A. Bailey, of Congregation sheveth Achim and B'nai Jacob mas been elected to represent the New Haven Zionists at the conference.

 Ansonia, June 20.-Hamilton Ander- son, an aged colored resident of An sonia died at the home of his son, Wal ter Anderson. of Woodster street, Sun day night, about 10 o'clock, after an illness of ten days. pneumonia being the principal cause of his demise.
