NEW MILFORD'S FRIGHT,

Giant SkyrocLct Caused Religious
Ones to Prny In the Streets.
Several thousand inhabitants of New
Berkshire division Of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
were startled the other night by an ex-
plosion somewhere to skyward Of the
town, says the New York Times. The
sound was terrific, they say, and the
sidewalks tremblcd. People rushed
out Of doors, and some Of them declare
that they thought the day Of Judgment
was at hand. They knelt In the streets
and began to pray.
AS the terrible sound came there was
q bright flash about 200 yards from
the earth, directly overhead. A little
later the streets were choked with peo-
plc gaping Mt tho heavens and wonder
ing what was the cause Of the noise.
1t was finally concluded by many that
n meteorite had exploded over the
town. Some Of the moro religious citi-
Zcns, however, persisted IN believing
that the strange blast was intended rs
n warning that the life Of the world
was about to end. That no fragments
J or trace of q mcteorlto could be found
was used by them as an argument that
they were right in their conclusions.
A. L. Conkley, who conducts n music
store. solved the mystery late the mex
afternoon by saying TINT he set off 6
giant skyrocllet, which caused the ex
element. The rocket had been LEFT
over from the last Fourth of July, an(
his family thought fitting to celebrate
with 1t happy Christmas.

TO DRAIN FLORIDA LANDS.
Everglades to De Turned Into Sugar
Plantntions.


One Of the greatest projects just
started in Florida Is tho plan to drain
100000 acres In the everglades and
turn them into sugar plantations. The
Florida East Coast Drainage and Sug-
ar company has been formed for this
purpose. Surveys made under govern
mcnt supervision years ago show the
feasibility OF the plan.
Arrangements were perfected recent
~ whereby NJ. Fichtcnbcrg and Henry
Benedict OF milwaukee, will undcrwrlte
the enterprise to the extent Of s., 5,OOO,-
600. The opening OF the section about
Jarksonvillc by the Florida East Coast
railroad has made the plan more feast
bic, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t
Is SurmlScd that Henry NJ. Flaglcr Is
Interested In this enterprise and that
he is really behind It with his immense
capital to aid its development.

the end OF the fourth round, or after
every man had shot once at each Of the
four traps. SeVenty-fOur men had an I'M
broken record Of dead birds at the end

man was to shoot al from twelve to eight
but as the sweepstakes, according to the
original plans, We're to be divided among
the thirty high guns and there We're sew
enty-four straight scores after all had
shit at eight birds, the management later
decided to continue the match to twelve
birds, dropping from the list all who had
missed more than one bird. This loft lS4

American Association league; Earl Schre-
Der, Elmer (Bemis) Pierce and Arthur
Curtis, three members of the university

captain.
The university team has not been IN
practice for the last few days, many Of
the candidates being home for the Easter

morrow for light practice and the team
viii then be picked for the first game All
