During the last twenty years there have
been seven worlds champion trotters.
Four Of these have been mares and three
geldngs. Maud :. held the record longer
and attracted moro attention than all the
others. This was due largely 10 her own
high quality. and partially 10 the fact
that she belonged first to tina. late William

FOR A NEW TOWN.

Connecticut has 16S towns and an- other is contemplated. A petition has been drawn up for presentation to the legislature for division of the town of Groton. For q long time it has been the opinion of the Groton Bank resi- dents that they were not getting what was coming to them in town affairs, for the reason that that which inter- csts them was of no interest to the eastern part of the town. It has been the complaint that the Mystic and Noank sections have received atten- ton at the expense of the western Eart of the town. For instance if Gro ton Bank has the largest number of school children. the other sections of the town received the lions share of the school appropriations. It is pro posed to make a separate town of that portion of Groton designated as the second voting district, which includes Poquonock. Center Groton and Groton. Groton. The town has two representa-. tives in the legislature and if the di vision is made, the two towns would elect one each.

DEATH OF C. NJ. PLATT.
Died Early This Morning While
 Dressing.


 c. NJ. Platt, president and treasurer of Platt Brothers & Co. button manu facturers, at II Brown street, died sud denly this morning at his home, 36 Buckingham street. So far as his family knew he was in his usual health when he retired last night and was out of bed this morning and in the act of dressing himself when his wife noticed that he. was SnoeZing hard and the next moment he sank to the floor. He was Dlaced on the bed, but by this time he had breathed his last. Acting Medical Examiner Graves viewed the remains and pronounced death due to heart failure.
 Clark Murray P1att was born in Wa tcrbury on January 1. 1S24. He was the fourth son of Alfred platt. who came to Waterbury from Newton in 17S9 and settled at Platt'S Mills. and who according to the history of Waterbury, was the first man to manufacture brass in this town. In his boyhOOd he entered his fathers shop to work at button making. but before reaching his majority spent year at the Connecti- cut Literary institute, Sutficld. Re turning to Waterbury he again enter ed the button shop and continued in the business up to the time of his death. He was q successful inventor and obtained patents on d number of inventions connected with the manu- fracture of buttons. On May. 1916, MT Platt married Maria. daughter of Selden Lewis of Naugatuck. who. with two children. Mrs Jay II. Hart and Lewis A. Platt. survive him. MT Platt was one of the best known men in Waterbury and one of it's most pop ular employers of labor. He always believed in paying labor what it was worth and using employees right in every other respect, consequently he never had trouble with his employees. He was one of the stockholders in the Connecticut Indemnity association and is reported to have lost something like S200.0OO in the business.

NVhnt Cauned the Delny.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-It is now learned that the entire Elisunderstaudil! which las delayed the consummation of the agreement at Picking was caused by the change or omission of.t{le single digit in Il complex group of figures making up one of the cipher messages gf instruction to NIr. Conger. Curottoly' enough the change in this single digit exactly re- versed the meaning of the entire mes sage. that Mir. Conger ill opposing the English view was acting exactly con- trary 10 the spirit of his instructions, though in accordance with their letter.
 Officials here still decline to make pub lie the text of the note agreed on, but 1t is believed that the following points cover the essential features of the agreement:
 The punishment of the officials guilty of the Boxer outrages: the payment of indemnity for the wrongs inflicted by the Boxers on the persons, corporations and societies which have suffered; the reyi- sion of commercial treaties.
 ''SOme reform in the tsunG-li-yamen so that the ministers having business with the foreign office may transact it more expeditiously and with q responsible head.
 "A monument to Baron von kettelcr. the German minister who was killed ill Picking. and the appointment of Il prince oL tAe bloou to proceed to N'efhlaIN to make formal apology to the emperor for the crime.
 The right to keep a legation guard in Peking if this is desired.
 ''The exclusion of candidates for exam inatiOn for office for certain number of years in the case of those who may be guilty of antiforeign activity.
 An iaterdiction of importation of arms into China and of material to be used eX- ,clusvely in the manufacture of arms.
 The taking of measures to prevent flu ture troubles"
 Some modified ton, it Is believed, was made to the proposed dismantliHg of forts so that hereafter there will be nothing of this character that will prevent ready ac- cess to the legations in Peking.
