In speaking Of the accident a few days ago he said: Here I have been working on this railroad for twenty years and have never had an accident until the time this woman was killed. '' Comrades tried to comfort him but in vain. The scene of the accident seem ed to be before him, although he said he knew he did all that mortal man could to to avert it. He was ffty-fiye years of age and a very faithful em- plOye. A brother died of heart disease some ago. He leaves a widow and two daughters. Comrades in the service who knew him well said yesterday that they thought he had previously had some slight heart trouble. On all sides his death was deplored.

HEROIC DEEDS OF PATRIOTS OF
 REVOLUTIONARY VAR

To be Suitably COmmemOrated-''De fenders' Monument" Project Resumed Under Most Favorable Auspices Contract for ConstuructiOD of MOnu- ment-The Site-Win the Public Fur nIsh the Needed Funds, S14,OOO.
 The committee appointed on July 4, 1891, to solicit funds and complete plans for erecting a monument in honor of the brave men who defended New Ha- ven against the invasion of the British forces during the revolutionary war, have resumed their efforts and it is probable that definite action will be taken in the near future. When the monument to the memory of William Campbell, an adjutant in the British army, was dedicated in Allingtown fourteen years ago, the idea of com memorating the deeds of the brave men of New Haven was suggested.
 A committee consisting of General B. E. Bradley, Lucius P, Deming, and Hi- ram Camp, was appointed. Later Hen ry T. Blake, Nathan Easterbrook, jr., Edward D. Boyd, Everett E. Lord, Thomas R. TroWbridge, and Henry F.. English were added to the committee.
 It was agreed to locate the monu- ment at the triangular piece of land at the junction of Congress, Columbus and Davenport avenues.
 The following correspondence shows latest developments in the monument:

New Haven, Nov. IA, 1905.
 President David Humphreys Branch,
 Conn. Soiety, S. A. R.:
 My dear sir: thank you for your in- quiry respecting the status of "The De- lenders Monument" movement because it gives me an opportunity to explain the late inaction of the association which was organized to start the move- ment, and of which I have the honor to be chairman. You are right in say ing that the David Humphreys branch of the S. A. R. appointed delegates to cooperate with it. and that other local patriotic and other organizations took similar action.
 The principal reason why action was suspended at that stage by the monu- ment association in the midst of its work was the fact that immediately thereafter urgent apaals were being made upon our citizens to raise large sums for the Y. M. c. A., the boys club and other important local objects, and it seemed inadvisable to embarrass those appeals by pushing the monument project at the same time. The presi- dential election followed in 1903, and since that time other matters have in- tervened to divert public attention.
 The association is, however, in situ- ation to resume work immediately and will do so if any indication is given by an active public interest in the project As you are aware, an artistic and spir- tied design has been adopted for the monument Ca sketch of which I enclose) and contract for it's construction in stone and bronze has been secured with the Henry Bonnard Bronze company of New York for a very low sum. consid- ering the character of the monument.
 In 1900 the city purchased and set an open plaza at the junction of Daven- port, Congress and Columbus avenues for the monument site. In short, all that is needed is to raise the funds re quired ($14,OGO), and the question how to do this is the only problem that con-

the David Humphreys branch of the Connecticut Society s. A. R., to inquire what has become of the movement in which you are interested, to erect a monument near West bridge to com memorate the defense of that point by citizens of New Haven against the Brit ish invaders in 1779 Some four years ago this branch voted to cooperate in the undertaking and appointed c" mfttee to represent them in it. I think other patriotic societies of this city took action; and there was also a gen. eral expression on the part of the pub lie. in favor of the project. Since then I have heard nothing of it. Has the movement been abandoned? And, if so, would it not be possible to revive it with a prospect of success?
 Very truly yours,

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Through
American enterprise, the way has been
won to connect the western continent
by direct submarine telegraphic lines
with the empires of Japan and China.
Clarence H. Mackay, president of the
Commercial Pacific Gable company,
today made the announcement that his
company has secured the necessary
concessions to enter Yokohama, Japan,
and Shanghai, China. Yesterday the
last step in series of diplomatic nego-
tiations, which were begun at the wish
of President Mckinley and which have
extended over a period of about three
years, was taken when Mr.. Takahira
the Japanese minister to the United
States affixed his signature to Japan
agreement with the Commercial Cable
company for landing rights at Yoko-
hama. An agreement for landing
rights at Shanghai was signed by
China several weeks ago.
When these new cables are COM
pleted, Mr.. Mackay said, their length,
added to other cables already laid or
about to be built, will form part of a
system which extends two-thirds of the
distance around the globe.
The cable connections with both
Japan and China will be made by ex-
tending the present lines of the COM
pany which run from San Francisco
through the stations of Honolulu,
Midway, Guam and Manila. Japan will
be reached by laying a cable from
Guam In the Pacific ocean direct to
Yokohama. The cable to China will be
laid from Manila to Shanghai.
In announcing the successful issue of
the long negotiations Mr.. Mackay said
today: I'VE shall proceed at once with
the manufacture and laying of these
cables, which will take several months.
The Commercial Pacific Gable company
will then pierce the far east at three
points, namely, the Philippines, China
and Japan"

BRUTALLY BEATEN AND BOUND
j. s. Barber Is Forced to Accompany
Hlghwayman to an Orchard, Where

PIundering Him

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Sept. 14.-Under a full
moon, in front of his own home and at
the early hour of $3.50, 1. s. Barber was
last night confronted by a masked man
and at the muzzle of revolver was
hidden to move on to a more secluded
place for an interview.
Mr.. Barber who lives on Market
street between Fifth and Sixth streets,
within block of the police office, was
returning from lecture and started
to enter his home by way of the alley
when he discovered a man lettering
there. He continued on to Market
street and approached his house from
the front. Almost at his own doorstep
he was halted and marched on to Fifth
street where, in an orchard, another
masked figure appeared. The accom-
plices then went through Mr.. BARRIERS
pockets for money, and finding only
81. so, demanded the roll Of bills which
they insisted they had seen paid to
him shortly before. Barber told them
they were mistaken in the person and
made grab for one Of the masks. The
face revealed was that of Mexican.
When the man found himself un-
masked he said: "Now you'll know
me-" and dealt Barber a blow on the
head with a piece of hose. After bind
ing their unconscious victim securely
and dragging him out Of sight under
the trees the highwaymen disappeared.
AS Mrs. Barber was away from home
for the night and the children were in
bed, Mr.. BARRIERS absence was not no.
ticed until shortly before six o'clock In
the morning, when Mrs. Barber return
ing found her husbands bed empty
and notified the police. At about the
same time a neighbor, William Hotch-
kiss, heard some one calling, and, find
ing the injured man, helped carry him
to his home.
Mr.. Barber sustained severe injuries
about the head from which he remain
ed unconscious most Of the night. He
is still confined to his bed, and pneu-
monia is feared.

sailants were Mexicans, one being tall
and the other short. No clew has yet

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-John
Isaac after acting as representative for
California in a conference with the
horticultural authorities of Mexico, has
just reported that he has discovered
that six and perhaps more states in
Mexico are harboring foe of oranges
which there is reason to dread if it
should be permitted to enter Califor-
mia.
He reports that he found thousands
of oranges and mangoes have been de-
stroyed within three months by the
Mexicans in an attempt to eradicate
the orange maggot, which has occa-
stoned much damage.
The orange maggot proceeds from the
eggs of the insect known as the trypeta
ludens The fecundity of this insect is
something astonishing.
The infested section from which
California would have most to fear is
the state of Guerrero, as it's port of
Acapulco is one of the principal ship
ping points in Mexico.

GRANGEVILLE, Idaho, Sept. H.
Fire swept the heart of the business dis

before the flames were extinguished a
loss of approximately 100000 was
credited to an incendiary.
The citizens of the town turned out
shortly before o'clock when the alarm
was given, but the fire leaped from
building to building with extraordinary
rapidity. Telephone communication
was soon destroyed, but the fire itself
answered the purpose of summoning
help, and fire fighters came from miles
around.
The heaviest loser was the mercan-
tile firm Of Alexander & Friedrich, their
loss being estimated at 100000, Of which
$75, 900 was on stock and $4,000 on build
ing. The Jersey house, the largest hotel
in the town, was also burned, entailing
a loss of about 100000. George K. Reed,
