CONNECTICUT PEACHES.

Everything Indicates a Handsome Yield
 and Over 100000 Baskets-275. 900 to go
 Out of State
 The Connecticut Pomological Society, in conjunction with the officials Of the State Experiment Station, have just completed census of the coming peach crop Of the State. From figures obtained from all the orchards of any size in the State, It appears that COnnectlcut's peach crop this season will aggregate 341,516 bushels, or 6SSsl9z baskets. It is estimated that at least 275,- 900 baskets will be shipped out of the State, which would indicate that Connecticut peaches will figure quite largely in the gen. eral markets this year.
 The society has prepared list ot the growers and the principle shipping stations and will cooperate with the transportation companies and commission houses in the successful distribution of the crop. At this date there Is every promise Of q superD crop, and there is no reason why Connectt- cut shouud not sustain her reputation for peaches that are not excelled by those or any other section. -.---.,
 All who are interested in fruit grow ng will have an opportunity to attend the month, as the Connecticut Pomological Society is arranging a number Of such gatherings. The first field day will be held August 6, at Barnes Brothers peach orch ards and nursery at Yalesyille, where over 100 acres in bearing orchards may be seen. This meeting will be of timely importance to the peach growers of the State, ecpeci' ally since representative commission men, railroad officials and refrigerator car agents have promised to be present for the pur' pose of meeting the growers and discussing plans for handling the coming peach crop, in view of the present outlook for an unusu ally large peach crop and the important in | terests involved, this meeting should draw out large attendance: Detailed programs are being issued by the Secretary of the society, II. c. c. Miles, Milford.

STOLE LINDsrRoMs NUMBER.

Souvenir Collectors Carried Their Prac-
 tice to the Limit Saturday Night.
 It became known yesterday that those who engaged in collecting souvenirs ex- tended their practice to the very limit Saturday night when they took the the number and band from the hat or Motorman Lindstrom, who was lying i'll a mass of wreckage a few feet away, almost dead. The young man who stole the number from the hat boasted or his deed yesterday and on one Of the Momauguin cars showed it to some friends saying that he considered 1t pretty good souvenir of the occasion.
 The hat of the unfortunate motor man was carried almost to the rear or the car by the force of the collision ana shortly after the crash came some or the passengers arrived at the conclusion that they would be better off if they could get a souvenir. The signs on the front and rear of the cars were taken. the handles that turn on and or the power were smuggled away and other pieces of the car, including the signs used for advertising were turned lnto souvenirs. The dead motorman's hat band was the only part of his apparel that was missing, although it is won der that some one did not take ms shoes.

uoLLIE TOWNSEND DAT
Died at LittletoD, cOIOradO-BuriRI in
 Thts City Thursday.

The sad tidings of the death of Mrs. Mary Leavenworth Day, she that was Miss Hollie Townsend. daughter of U. $. Judge William K. Townsend, brings deep sorrow to the hearts of the large circle of friends by whom Mollie Town send was beloved; and the bereaVed ones will have the sincere sympathy of the community in their great loss.
 One of the most notable and brilliant society events in this city two years ago was the marriage at Center church of Miss MolIie Townsend to Dwight Hunt ingdon Day, Yale '99. Soon after their marriage MT. and Mrs. Day removed to Minneapolis, Minn., and later to St. Louis. About a year ago Mrs. Days health began to fail and her husband removed with her to Denver, Col, in the hope that the change of air would prove beneficial. Soon after MT. Day took ranche at Littleton, Col, about twen- ty miles from Denver, and here MT. and Mrs. Day had since resided. There were times when Mrs. Day appeared to be gaining and hope of her restoration to her former health and activity was re- vived. A few weeks ago, however, signs were apparent that she was unmistak- ably failing and that all that could be done for her was unavailing. She pass ed away on Sunday. Besides her hus- band, her parents and her brother George, who is preparing for college at Andover, were with her. Judge and Mrs. Townsend had been with her for a number of weeks and her brother arriv- ed about a week ago. The deceased was beautiful graceful young lady of uncommon attractiveness of manner and rare qualities of heart and mind | that made her indeed beloved. She was a very charming young woman and one | of the brightest ornaments of the socia
 life in which she moved. She was fonC of out door exercise and was an accom- plished horseback rider and skilled ir out door society sports. She completed her educational studies at the Miss Por ter school in Pennington. She was { member of Center church. The deceased

THE CoRONER'S INQUEST.
Probing Into Trolley Accident-Win
 Probably Finish To-day.

The inquest in the trolley accident of Saturday night conducted by Coroner Mix took a good part of the day yes- .terday and will be continued this morn~ ing at 9:30 o'clock. Coroner Mix said last night that the hour was set a lit tie early in the hope of winding up the testimony to-day. He has few more witnesses to examine and it is expected that all of the testimony will be in late this afternoon.
 Yesterday afternoon Coroner Mix wis., ited the houses of James McKinnell and D. w. Goddard in Branford, two of the victims of the accident and took their testimony, which is considered import tant. "
 Yesterday morning he examined Mo- torman Joseph Smith of the eastbound car, which left the trap rock switch be- fore the third car from Branford came along. He said that he had no signal from Motorman Martin of the second car, which passed Smiths car and on the contrary, Martin says that he waved his hand in the customary manner as he was passing Smiths car. Smith says that the only signal he received was from Motorman Overlander of the first extra car and when Martins car came along he thought that all of the cars had as he received no signal to the con trary.
 It was brought out in the testimony taken by the coroner that Conductor Peterkin of the car that left the switcf prematurely received no word as to now many cars were to pass him on thai switch, and that it was reasonable tc
 suppose that the motorman on the trs car from Branford signalled that there | was only one car to come Conductol
 Hugo and Conductor Peterkin and oth
 CTS testified before the coroner Wht states that he has a list of fifty wit l nesses that will be called if necessary | This the coroner thinks will be unneces
 sary, however, as he can draw enougl
 conclusions to convince him of the fact
 from the testimony of a few more wit nesses.

THE ROLLING MILL STRIKE.

To-day the Day Given for the Men in
 Which to Return to Work.
 The rolling mill officials posted up notice a few weeks ago to the effect that if the strikers didn't come back to work on or before July 2s they could consider themselves discharged. The men met last night on different corners about the city, but nothing trans pired to indicate that the men would return to work. The rolling mill officials have refused to grant the men what they demand and the latter stated at the first that unless they took back Tony Lepine they would not come back to work. It is probable that men will be hired by the superintendents in the different departments after tomorrow if the strikers do not return by that time.

Taylor has only recently returned from season of sue cessful match races in Europe. He join

BANDITS ROB A TRAIN.
Hold Up the Fast Express on the Rock
Island Road, Secure Big Sum
and Escape.

Davenport, Ia, Nov. 22.-Train No.
IL, west-bound, on the Rock Island
road, the regular ST. Joseph and Kan
sas City express, was held up at
1880 o'clock last night three miles
west of this city by IL or Is masked
bandits, who cut off the express and
baggage cars, forced the engineer to
run two miles up the track, blew up
the through express safe with dyna-
mite and escaped with their booty.
The amount obtained from the ex-
press is not known, but as this train
generally carries a heavy express
shipment it is presumed the sum was
considerable.
The hold-up last night is the elev-
,enth notable affair of it's kind dur
ing the present year. More men were
concerned in it, for previous robber-
les have been committed by bands
of from three to five men. Last
night the train bandit fraternity
seems to have assembled for a gen.
eral convention.
