Work of Highway Commissioners s
 Office Waiting for Returns.
 On August 24, the last day allowed towns to apply for state aid under the highway law, there were from forty to fifty towns that had not made applca ton and letters were sent to the se- lectmen of these owns by Highway Commissioner Mcdonald calling atten- ton to the apparent omissions and ask ing that an order that no town should be overlooked, the highway c0mmis- sioner's office be notified whether the towns had voted to apply for state aid, says the Hartford Courant. Replies have been received from most of these towns, but a dozen remain to be heard from, the neglect to reply causing con- siderable delay in the work of the off, flee. The law limits the amount to be paid by the state to $225,00O a year, which brings the amount for two years to $45O,OOO, which Is reduced to $440,- 900 by the/ appropriation for stone crushers, which the law provides shall come out. of the total appropriation. The allotment, therefore, cannot be made until all applications have been filed with the highway commissioner. It was said at his office yesterday that there has been some criticism of the alleged delay in the work of the office.

 NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 9.-The horse show had a thrilling and what was at first thought to be fatal incident in the throwing of Mrs. Thomas w. Pierce of Pittsfield, Mass, from her well known jumper, Tornado. Mrs. Pierce was about to take one of the jumps when her horse struck one of the fences on the side of the barrier and fell over on his side, and Mrs. Pierce rolled over on the ground, and at first it was thought that the horse had rolled on top of her. She was car ried out almost senseless She had sus- tained only slight fracture of her right leg and within an hour came back to the Casino in an automobile and was accorded great ovation for her pluck. The winning of the blue by the road team tof Alfred c. and Regi- nald O. Vanderbilt against seven com petitors proved one of the most popular victories of the day.

happened at Kingsburg, where new winemaking plant is being constructed by the Italian-Swiss colony.
 George Lawson, another cooper, em- ployed with the drowned men, also fell into the tank, but fortunately escaped the fate of his companions.
 The tank is of 33,000 gallons capacity, and had 21k feet of mixed wine and wa- ter in it. The men had taken off the head of the tank and In doing so had accidentally dropped some of their tools inside. A rope was lowered into the tank and Walker descended on 1t to se- cure the tools. He had gone but little way when he was overcome by the fumes and fell to the bottom. He called for help as he was falling and ladder was secured at once and Richardson started into the tank to his assistance. Rich ardsonr too. was overcome by the fumes and fell into the tank. Lawson followed Richardson, intending to get both men ont of the tank. When he felt the fumes overpowering him he chung to the ladder until his companions hauled him back out of danger. Walker and Richardson were dead when fresh air made 1t safe for the other men to venture into the tank.
 The dead men were coopers and had been working at the new plant about a month. Both were from San Francisco. Nothing is known concerning their rel atives. Neither was married

 New London, Sept 1O.-Patrick Whelan found plain band ring in the toilet room at the Union station last night A rough looking man saw Whe- Ian pick up the ring and suggested to him that they pawn it and go halves on the proceeds. Whelan said, "No, I will turn it over to the police. It looks as though 1t was a wedding ring and valued by some one for its asso- citations" 'sYou give it to me, then" ," said the rough looking man.
 1T won't,'' said Whelan, and on this refusal the tough struck Whelan a punch on the jaw that doored him and followed it with a kick in the head which rendered him unconscious. The ring rolled to an obscure corner of the toilet room in the melee and Whelan's S asasi1ant fled without stopping to pick it up. Several men who were, witness es to the assault and who heard the dialogue between the two men sum- moned Policemen Leary and Corcoran.

BLEND GIRL SEES MOON RAYS.

 Just Yet. /....i
 New York, Sept 1O.-Dr Anon Jen- kins of the Marine hospital service, who succeeded in so far stimulating the paralyzed optic nerves of little Lil- lie Spitznadel with a combination of radium and X-rays that the blind girl was able to distinguish between day light and darkness and to discern plain ly bright lights at night, has received scores Of letters from persons similarly afflicted since the newspapers published a fortnight ago the results of the ex- pertinent Yesterday the European anil brought him number of letters asking for details of the methods he has employed.
 No further treatment has been given to the Spitznadel child. Dr Jenkins believes that it would not be wise to experiment. further with her until fur ther knowledge of the effects of the treatment has been gained, in view of the great uncertainty which attends the use of radium.
 The little girl continues to experience faint glimmers of optical sensation. When there was bright harvest moon last week she was able to indicate its position in the sky and one night when she was taken for a trip on the river was conscious of the glint of the moons rays on the water. This is the limit her returning optical sensitive ness has reached. Dr Jenkins does not think it proba- ble, though 1t is possible, that she will ever attain normal vision or even be able to distinguish objects sufficiently to walk the streets safely, but he does believe that her case has proved the stimulating effect of radium rays on the optic nerve.

SALONIKA CONSULS.
Fear Dynamite Outrages and
 Request War Ships.
TURKS WILL CROSS INTO BULGARIA
Porte's Minister of War Is Said to Be Anxious to Begin HOSt1lities, as He Regards War to Re No
 Longer Avofdable.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept 1o.-The con- guls at Salonika have requested their ambassadors to send war ships to that port, as they are in fear of dynamite outrages. E
 A band of 600 revolutionaries en- gagged the Turkish troops between Mel nix and Denirhissar. The Turks are reported to have lost heavily.
 Eight thousand Turkish troops have gone from Losengrad to the Bulgarian frontier. i''
 The Macedonian organizations are preparing memorandum, which they will present to the representative of the powers, in which they declare that . the insurgents intend to resort to re- prisals for the Turkish atrocities.
 The memorandum gives detailed in formation of villages destroyed and the massacre of their inhabitants. It de- clares that 65,Oo0 men, women and children have been slaughtered and 12O villages burned. In the list of villages given only two are in the vilayet of Adrianople. The others are principally in the Monastir vilayet.
 The memorandum repeats the state ments recently issued by the insurgent general staff at Monastir that the Turks instead of fighting the insurgents have instituted a general massacre of the Christians.
 The organizations declare they are is- suing the present memorandum-b because they are no longer able to restrain the bands from retaliation, and hencefor- ward the responsibility will rest with the great powers, which instead of at tempting to moderate the Turkish bar barifies are calling on the Turks to speedily end the revolution.
 A Constantinopie dispatch reports that Turkish troops have been ordered to cross the Bulgarian frontier of east ern Roumelia on the coming full moon nights in order to surround all the bands in the vilayet of Adrianople.
 It is rumored from other sources that the Turkish minister of war is anxious to begin hostilities against Bulgaria, which he regards as no longer avoida- bIe.
 Sickening sights are witnessed in the hospitals of Monastir The victims of Turkish brutality were mostly Greeks and WallachianS. Many women and children had wounds from Mauser bull lets, proving that they had been infict ed by regular troops, inasmuch as the Bashibazouks are armed with MartiniS The stories told by the victims tended to prove the worst accusations against the Turkish troops of brutalities and massacres

Weissman of Hoboken Celebrates His
 Birthday Strennously.
 New York, Sept 1o.-Wolff4 Weiss mann, reputed to be the oldest man in New Jersey, celebrated the 103 anni- versary of his birth last night at his home, no Adams street, Hoboken. His three song and their wives, seven grandchildren and about a dozen other relatives joined in the jubilation. Weissmann had presents for all the youngsters and was as gay and hearty as anyone in the gathering. He wasn't at home much during the day. They'rS having a rather hot political fight over in Hoboken just now, and Weissmann explained that he was out the bigger part of the morning and afternoon cleo tioneering with the boys.
 ''I ran in for dinner" he said, put things were very interesting outside, and I lost no time in getting back to my cronies. Citizenship is responsi- bi1ity, and none of us can afford to neglect it.' When Weissmann "runs in for dinner he climbs five flights of stairs. He likes to climb he said, as he thinks it gives him just the neces- sary amount of exercise to whet his appetite.
 Last night Weissmann smoked pipe and drank couple of goblets of wine He was a heavy smoker up to twenty years ago, when he found that tobacco didn't agree with him. He stopped using 1t altogether, but he thought few whiffs wouldn't do him any harm last night.
 Weissmann was born near Kishineff in 1900. He was married in 1924 and was obliged to leave Russia shortly afterward to escape religious persecu' tion
