planting of orange seeds for graft
ing next winter. Mr.. Ruth will
plant sufficient seed 10 guarantee
10000 trees, and next winter will
graft Satsuma oranges on Trifoli-
alta stock, which makes one of the
hardest oranges known. This par
ticular shrub will stand a tempera-
ture of 10 degrees above zero with
out injury, which fact makes it al
most immune in this section, as that
degree of cold is a rare occurrence
here. The tree often begins bear
ing at two years old, and produces
an orange of very markable size
of exceptional flavor. The Sat
suma tree attains a growth of about
twelve feet, and being devoid of
thorns, renders gathering of the
fruit a comparatively easy matter.
Mr.. Ruth says in addition to or
anges and other citrous fruits, he
thinks grapes will do exceedingly
well in this section, and he will
pay particular attention to results
obtained in experiments, and also
watch the results obtained from
vines that have been growing for
some years here. Mr.. Ruth has
had considerable experience in fruit
culture both in Florida and Geor-
gia and his faith in this section is
proven by his having decided to
locate here. He is accompanied
by his wife, and will go out to the

hATT00N'S B0NDShEN.
Filed Answer in Suit Brought by Wa.
 tertOwn Bank.

Emil c. Marggraff, Henry J. Mat tOOn and John H. Taylor, bOndsmen for Burton H. Mattoon, ex treasurer of the Watertown Savings bank, filed their answer to-day in the suit brought against them by the directors of the bank to recover for Mir Mat tOOn's defalcatiOns. When the matter comes up at short calendar in the su- periOr court there will be hot times, for the defendants through their coun- sel. Root, Cole and Minor, say all manner of things about the directors.
 They start out with saying that they were inveigled into going security for Mattoon after the directors had dis covered that he had taken large sum of money from the bank without their authority. They claim the directors fraudulently concealed from them the fact that Mir MattOon had already mis- appropriated from the bank several large sums of money when they were becoming his sureties, and that if the directors had conducted the business of the bank according to law and foI the protection of their depositors there would have been no dedication by Mattoon. The defendants go on to say that if the books of the bank had beer examined as by law required Mir Mat toon's discrepancies would have been | nipped in the bud.

THOMAS H. PRYOR.
Sudden Death of the We'll Known
 Constable.

| Thomas II. Pryor. constable and col ! lector, died shortly after il o'clock this morning at his home, corner of East Main and Welton streets. The family removed yesterday to their present quarters from 1909 East Main street, and Mir Pryor assisted in making the change until late in the afternoon, when he was taken suddenly ill with hemorrhage and despite medical aid he sank rapidly until the end came. Mir Pryor was born in New York city 5I years ago and came to this city when he was a boy and with the exception of few years at Bridgeport and q couple of years in the federal army during the war. he resided here con- tinuously since. He was employed for years at Brown & Bros and other places and later was chosen constable and since that time he was occupied most of the time in public capacity. When the war broke out. although but l6 years of age, he ran away to New Jersey and enlisted. He served during his term and was mustered out with a very credtable record.
 Thirty-four years ago, while residing in Bridgeport. Mir Pryor married Miss Margaret Davis, native of New York. who with eleven children. four sons and seven daughters, survive him. The children are James, William. Thomas. George. Margaret. Elizabeth. Nellie and Lucy Pryor, Mrs Thomas Begnal. Mrs Charles Leddy and Mr> Edward Carey. He also leaves two brothers, James Pryor of Waterbury and Patrick Pryor of Brooklyn. New York. He was member of Cour, Stephen J. Meany and probably one of the best known and most popular men in the community. Everybody who knew Mr Pryor was his friend. and the news of his death will he great shock to thousands of citizens who had seen him so recently about town apparently in the enjoyment of his usual good health and spirits. Last February Mr and Mrs Pryor celebrated the thirty-fourth anniversary of thpir marriage and people fiocked from all parts of the town tO offer congratula- tions. The family buried two children, making the number living and dead thirteen. MT Pryor also leaves eleven grandchildren.

MAY BE AN HEIRESS.
nattatuck Street Woman is Hoping
 for the Best.

Mrs Henry Stuhlman of Mattatuck street is wondering if she is heiress to an estate left by man named Henry Stulhman in Germany. She re- ceived copy of the Milwaukee Ger mania of date of March 10 a few days ago. in which C. Pollier. the German consul at 1S45 Josephine street. Mt Au. burn. Cincinnati. O., advertises for the heirs of one Henry Stuhlman. Mrs Stuhlman's husband, who died eigh, years ago. was named Henry. She has one son living whose name is also Henry. Stulhman's fathers name was Henry and baker and he formerly lived fin Cincinnati. and it is supposed that he returned to Germany and died there. To that extent Grandfather Stulhman fulfills the description in the advertisement. Attorney Lauber has Mrs Stuhlman's case in hand. The amount of the estate in question Is not mentioned by the consul.

LEGISLATURE.
Judges CowelI and Peasley Confirmed Representive
 Marsh Has Measure.

Hartford. March 16.-The farmers association again held a meeting this morning and again did the members discuss the various auto measures. The majority seemed to favor no change in the present speed laws and several bills Will be given public hearing tomorrow. Fifteen miles an hour outside city or town limits is now the authorized speed, and it is possible that this ratio will remain.
 Representative Marsh of Waterbury was of the opinion that bill provid> ing penalty for not stopping an auto mobile within 100 feet of horse that was frightened by the machine would eliminate the proposed objection to the use of the country roads by automo- bilists.
 Representative Kenealey, the house chairman of the judiciary committee, has repeatedly urged dispatch in tho conduct of hearings, and has stated that if the session is prolonged the ju- dietary committee will not be found at fault
 In the house bills prohibiting auto matic or repeating shotguns for hunt. ing purposes and reducing the hours of labor for women and minors from sixty to tifty-eight hours a week, were rejected.
 The house concurred with the sen ate in confirming by ballot Governor Roberts's nomination of George H Cowell and Frederick NJ. Peasley fol judge and associate judge of the dis trict court of Waterbury. In the senate several measures were adopted, one of which provides for the creation of q reserve fund by surety companies.
 The bill providing for the appoint. ment by the governor of agents for the inspection of county temporary homes, at salary of S1.OG0 each an nually, was rejected.
 X number of bills of minor impor. tance were reported adversely by the fisheries. game and judiciary commit. tees. Favorable reports Were received from the committee on cities and bor- oughs amending the charter of the city of Meriden and providing for the ap- pointment of an assistant prosecuting attorney at salary of $500 per year.

HE OPPOSED IT.
Clerk John Blair Appeared Before Committee and
 Spoke Against Bill.

The hearing at Hartford yesterday on the bill aiming to do away with popular elections for town clerks and have them appointed for life by judges of the superior court took a rather pe- culiar turn in so far that one prOmin- ent republican office holder, John Blair, the present town clerk, appeared be- fore the committee and opposed such a step. Mir Blair said that the people have elected town clerks since time immemorial and that he believed no vicious results had resulted from that method. He considered the law all right as it now stands and came out fiat footed and informed the legisIa- tive committee that he should regard change such as contemplated grievOuS mistake. The bill was ia. vored by Judge Hathaway and one OF two others. MT Blair said to-day that he didn't want to be legislated into ain | office for life or to hold one any longer than the people wanted to have him. The office of town clerk. he added, al-
 ways has been in the hands of the people and I am firmly convinced
 that they are the proper custodians, and he has no desire to see the power Wrested from the people and trans. ferred to any other agency MT Blair's position astonished everybody about the capitol building and those who | didn't know him thought he was some .Jeffersonian democrat from the Brass | City who went up there to speak for the people. If everybody else would
 look at things this way there would
 be peace in Waterbury and every place
 else so far as public offices go. The | people would elect their own officials
 and it goes without saying that they 1 wouldn't retain them in office any
 longer than they had shown fitness and
 honesty. It is the placing of men in l public positions and retaining them
 there whether people want them or
 not that raises the most of the trouble
 that comes up from time 10 time in
 municipalities. and it is refreshing to
 hear one out and out republican have the courage of his convictions and
 come within the democratic view of
 such questions. MT Blair also repre-
 sented the Town Clerks association. They are opposed to the scr,me so
 that the hin is not likely to pass. un-
 less the machine gets behind it.

PASSENGERS TRY TO HOB
 AN ELEVATED VICTORIAN
Rear End Collision Injures Many People and Threw Hundreds Into Panic-hotorman Tried to See How Near He Could Come to the Car in Front Without Hitting It

New York, March 16.-Two persons were badly hurt, and dozen 'others slightly injured, while hundreds were thrown into panic of fear by a rear end collision between two south-bound Sixth avenue elevated trains at 72nd street and Columbus avenue. during the forenoon rush hours to-day. A train which had just stopped at the station was run into by another that had been following it closely. Glass in the cars which came in contact was smashed and scattered over the tightly packed passengers and the platforms of the rear car of the first train and the motor car of the second were splintered. No cars left the rails, how ever, and the delay was slight, as both trains were able to proceed.
 The most severely hurt were Will liam McClusky, whose head was se- verely cut, and Edward c. Fronk, who suffered a fracture of his right knee. Both were taken to hospital. The other persons injured were able to go to their homes.
 The accident is thought to have been due to failure of the air brakes of the second train to work.
 Passengers said that the collision was due to the attempts of the motor man of the rear train to discover how near he could bring his train to the one ahead of him without hitting 1t. They aver that he made several such attempts before the accident and then became confused and failed to stop his train in time One of the passen- gers who was riding on the rear plat form of the first train said that at tha 1O4th street station the motorlnan brought his train so near to the plat form on which the men were stand ing that they were greatly frightened and ran into the car. The motorman he said. laughed at their actions.
 Passengers on both trains became wildly angry wInn they discovered the cause of the accident and made rusl for the motorman. with cries ol "Lvnch the motOrman' and "Mof him." Police reserves were called out from nearby station.
 On the arrival of the police the pas sengers demanded that the motormaI he arrested. hut the police declined tt do so. savinr they could not take hin | from his train.
