Forty-seven Women Would Like 60
Find Gay Texas Widower.


ST. LOUIS, Aug 49, Forty seven
women in st. Louis and vicinity would
like to find Thomas Benton. Benton is
the "foxy" old widower who claimed
to be millionaire cattleman from Ell
Paso, Tex. Six widows have confessed
that they were engaged to marry Ben
ton. Benton is sixty-five years old. His
right hand is cut off, but that was no
handicap in his race for the widows.
He won the widows by promising them
diamonds and bonds and a mansion in
Texas. Some of the widows sold their
boarding houses, packed their trunks
and got ready to marry and go to Tex
as with Benton.
Mrs. Ella Embree of 1116 North Sa-
rah street, it is said, gave Benton
nearly 800. He left Mrs Embree in
the lobby Of the Union Trust building
and went up in the elevator. He must
be still going up, as Mrs. Embree has
not seen him come down.
Benton appears to have got acquaint7
ed with the widows through a matri-
monial advertisement When he fed.
he left behind large bundle of letters
from st. Louis widows and young UNI
married women.
Some of the descriptions that the
women wrote of themselves read like
advertisements of horses. Their dispo-
sitions are all gentle and kind.

STATE ROADS MONEY
Commissioner Mcdonald Says the Mid
dlebury Road is Next.

diepury ROAD Is Next.
State Highway Commissioner James
Macdonald was in town last night and
left no doubt in the minds of those he
talked with as to where the state
roads money shall be spent. He says
1t will be used on the Middlebury
road from Robbins street to meet the
boulevard made on the Middlebury
road by j, I'll. Whittemore. If this be
so the board of public works had better
occupy their minds with other things.
While it is not a bad place to use the
funds, still 1t is extremely doubtful IL
it should go there at this time. What's
the use of this patching business? The
'Watertown road should be finished and
some more work of that character
should be done on the Watertown road
before making a commencement else
where. 1t looks now as though the
commissioner who told Mayor Kilduf
that the board of public works would
have no voice in this matter was not
as wide of the mark as his honor
thought when he replied that the man
who had to do with this wasn't rail-
road commissioner.

Al X s
santoa~Dumont Breaks Agreement
and Sails For France.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-With less
than twenty-four hours notice to those
associated with him in a business way
Alberto Santos Dumont, the aeronaut,
sailed for France on the French line
steamship Touraine. Voicing his dis
gust at his failure to obtain a legiti-
mate prize for an exhibition Of the air
navigating powers of his machine, he
left behind him men who declare that
he was assured Of aItwenty thousand
dollar prize for an aerial trip to be
made at Brighton Beach during the
latter part of this month.
George Francis Kerr, one of the
stockholders In the Syndicate Construc-
tion company, at 302 Broadway, con-
Germ incorporated primarily for the pur-
pose of erecting shed for the Santos
Dumont airship at Brighton Beach, ex-
planned yesterday afternoon, after ex-
pressing his surprise at Santos Du-
mont's action, that the t1ansportatio
companies which would benefit by car
rying the crowds to the beach to wit
ness the trial had guaranteed prize
of $4,000 and that the aeronaut could
be surer of nothing than of receiving
that amount.
1--WE have his airship and intend to
keep it," said Mr.. Kerr. 81 don't care
to speak of the financial end. We are
game losers. am most certainly sur
prised by Santos Dumont's sudden de-
parture. We had a written agreement
that he was to fly during the latter
part of this month in addition to the
agreement regarding the exhibition Of
the airship."

IT is TO LAUGH.

The Waterbury Democrat has bolted
Chris Strobel, the Waterbury candi-
date for the democratic sheriff nomina-
ton. The reason for the bolt, it is said,
is that the Democrat favored Mayor
Kilduff for the place, and that Kilduff
withdrew in favor of Strobel without
consulting the Democrat as to the adj
visibility of the moye.-New HAVEN
Union.
Well, we'll. Aleck, we thought you
had better sense than to thus talk
about the Democrat Why talk about
boiling at this early stage of the game?
The dictionary says to bolt is to refuse
to support a nomination made by a
party or caucus. There have been no
nominations up to the present time
that we have heard of. If a man of
questionable political proclivities hurls
himself heroically with apologies to
Editor Wells. into the arena and seeks
the support of the democratic party, it
is no sign that he is going to get the
nomination. Every man has the same
right to seek nomination, provided,
of course. that he belongs to the party
from which he asks favors, and never
threw cold water in its face when just
little of the other kind meant so
much. The Democrat is not anxious
to be consulted by politicians seeking
office, for long ago we learned that
these same individuals are slippery
cusses, and no one knows 1t better than
our friend Troup. They are like the
proverbial Jersey mosquito, gone when
you think you have them. The Demo.
Graf believes In clean politics. decent
politics, IL there is such a thing. Does
anyone expect that the man the Union
is making eyes at for county sheriff Is
poing to run his campaign in an above
the board manner? If he is the adj
vance agents sent out would have been
better left out of It. Politicians of had
repute will give the best candidate that
ever was a faint that sometimes sticks
until after election day.

NUTMEG GRATINGS.

Mrs Mary Wilkie, wife of William
WillSie of Keeney street, South Man
chester, died very suddenly last even
ing In her home. She was seized with
severe coughing spell shortly after
10 o'clock and DIR T. H. Weldon was
summoned by her husband, but she
died before the doctor arrived. 1t is
supposed that she died from heart fail
ure.
A well known farmer of South
Farms is a victim of hard luck. He
was engaged in milking cow when
the animal kicked him on the side of
the head, knocking him over. He
picked up stone and hurled it at the
COW, but missed her and it struck the
hired man between the eyes. He made
for his employer and there was rough
and tumble fight on the barn floor.
Both men were badly used up.
A peculiar error has just come to
light in the divorce proceedings of Bet
tina n. Parker vs. Frank Parker OF
Meriden. They were married about
twenty years ago and the real name of
Parker, it is alleged, was Barribault
The name proved distasteful to hus-
band and wife and some years after
the marriage they changed their name
to Parker without legal process. In
this suit the papers have been made
out in the name of Frank Parker,
which the law cannot recognize, and
lawyers say that il the divorce, as
asked for, should be granted 1t would
not be valid.
III. Frederick Bowers Of Liberty
street, Southington, attempted suicide
yesterday afternoon about O'clock by
cutting his throat from ear to ear with
razor. He was sitting in the kitchen
at the time. His wife hearing noise,
rushed to him and her screams attract
ed neighbors to her assistance. She
succeeded in taking the razor from him
and threw 1T into the street Drs Mil
Ter and Gushing were summoned and
closed the wound. Bowers was taken
to the Meriden hospital last evening.
He was conscious, but would say moth
ing of his act more than that he was
sorry he did it,
There has been considerable surprise
ever since the death Of Philip j. Mark
ley of New Britain over the sma1lness
of his estate. 1t was announced at
the hearing on the appointment of an
administrator that Mr. Markley had
only $500 cash in bank. Yesterday q
substantial sum was found by the APP
praisers of the estate, who had Just
started In on their work. They visited
the different banks of the city and
found nearly $4,000 to the credit of Mr.
Markley on deposit. This sum will be
duly turned over to Judge Lyman S.
Burr, administrator of the estate. The
finding of this cash, with the possible
sale of the law library at a good price.
will nearly double the original value
tion of the estate.
