WAS BADLY BURNED
Miss Julia Scadden Died al the
 Hospital To-day.

Miss Julia Scadden, a dressmakcr at 26O Wolcott street, was removed to the hospital yesterday morning suf- fering from the effects of burns which terminated fatally at the Waterbury hospital at 10:3O o'clock this morning. The patient had been troubled with n derangement of the nervous system and yesterday before completing her toilet she lighted candle and while passing from one room to another the taper came in contact with her night clothes, setting them on fire. The woman screamed and then rushed to the doorway and out into the yard. Her brother, Peter Scadden, was pre- pairing breakfast at the time and looked around just In time to see what appeared to him like mass of flames pass out of the hallway. He immediately took In the situation and seizing his Oyercoat hurried after the fleeing victim and caught up with her as she was near the sidewalk. He succeeded in restraining her from pro- ceeding further, and then smothered the fire with his coat. tore off the burning garments and with the as- sistance of somebody who happened along. carried the unfortunate wo- man into the house. There was a brisk breeze blowing and this fan ned the flames so that the clothing blazed rapidly and Miss Scadden was frightfully burned on the body, arms neck and face and her hair was singed. Dr McLarney was summoned and after bandaging up the wounds the patient was removed to the hos- pital, where she fingered until this morning, She was forty-three years of age, and was born in Waterbury. No explanation can be given for her strange conduct in lighting a candle at that hour except that her health had not been good for the past few months and physician who was call- ed to see her a, few days ago said she was troubled with nervous prOstra- ton. The accident created great ex- citement and was heralded all over the town with several additions, one being that her clothing caught fire while she was lighting the fire This was not so. Her brother suffered n few burns while fighting the flames, they are not serious.
 Miss Scadden is survived by three brothers, Peter, William and John. The body was removed to the family residence this afternoon.

It was half-mile heats, best two out of three, and was won by Tom Larson of the Hamilton Park Athletic club. Among the starters were Larson. Tom Byrnes, l.. Harvey and McKenna.

 Jones also gave an exhibition mile race. six laps to the mile. which he did in 2:55 fiat. D. J. Dunn ofliciated as referee fin satisfactory manner. It is the intention of Jones to hold a series of races and those who take enjoyment from this sport will have something to euthuse over.

HARVARD LOST RACE
CAMRTDGE won BY TWO LENGTHS
In A HARD CONTEST.
Americans Finished Strong, While
Britishers Were All In-cambrldge
Got Better start-Harvard Had Fin
est Crew Physically Ever Seen in
England, but Lacked Training.

Putney, Saturdays boat
race between Harvard and Cambridge
universities, which was won by the
Englishmen by two lengths, was prob
ably the most surprising ever rowed
on the Thames, not 81 much because
of the result, but the way in which it
was rowed.
Cambridge, as had been feared by
Harvard and hoped for by English
men, got away the better, securing a
lead which they increased to three
lengths before Hammersmith bridge.
Both crews, as they went under the
bridge, were rowing steadily at 2S
strokes to the minute, neither appar-
emily exerting itself. Evidently Har-
ward commenced to use more power
and although Cambridge already had
the race won and had the advantage
of water conditions, the Englishmen
were compelled to increase their
stroke to 80 and finished a tired out
crew. Donaldson was ready to col
lapse and Brookes in the bow was
nearly as bad. The remainder of the
crew padded the boat to the landing
stage.
Harvard men, on the other hand
were apparently quite fresh and took
their boat across the river at a brisk
rate. English sports say there is but
one explanation OF the resultant OF
superiority of Craftsmanship and he
Englishmen's stroke. Harvard was
one of the finest crews physically ever
seen on the river, but was unable to
overcome that training which English
oarsmen receive from childhood. The
Cambridge crew. too, had in Stuart
one of the best strokes England has
ever produced. 1t has also had the ad
vantage of choice of side, but those
who know the river best say this was
little in their favor with the tide and
wind as they were.
Comment on Race.
Stroke Stewart of the Cambridge
crew said:
'Filley and his crew rowed a mag
nificent race. We are glad we won
but sorry to defeat such good fellows.
Captain Filley of the Harvard boa
laconically declared that his men haC
been beaten fairly and squarely. Coacl
Wray was gloomy and had nothing tt
say except that he had no excuse tt
offer. Coach Mattlebury of Cam
bridge said:
"The Harvard men made up the bes
crew ever sent out from the United
States. With another year and little
more English style the Harvard mel
will be dangerous rivals. I hope thu
Americans will favor us with anothe
visit"
The crews dined together at Princes
restaurant.

Asiatic cousin except in the absence of
the curious spectacle-like mark which
distinguishes the latter. Although It is
the most poisonous reptile known to In

iurers know how to render this serpent
rigidly unconscious by pressing the nape
of its neck with a finger. This act APP
