HEALTH IS IMPROVING.
Oldest Woman in the State is Growth,

Oldest Woman in the State is Growing
 Stronger.
 In better health than at any time since she became a centenarian, Mrs. Debo- rah Staples Silliman, of Easton, the oldest person in Connecticut, will be one hundred years and six months old to-morrow, and her neighbors and rel atives will observe that event in the usual way, by calling on her and talk ing her tokens of their regard and af- lection.
 Standard readers are familiar with her remarkable life, that she has never had recourse to the advice of a physi- elan, her wonderful memory which permits her to recollect incidents of the war of 1872, that she has never ridden on 8 trolley car or train, and that she can read without the aid of glasses. She is now experiencing something which is marvellous, that of actually improving in health and strength in years when she would naturally be de- clining.
 Mrs. Silliman's health is better now than it was a year ago." said her granddaughter-in-la Mrs. Fred Silli- man, to-day. "She is not declining, but is actually growing stronger if anything She waits on herself for nearly everything, walks around the house and reads the papers. The fine print does bother her, but modern newspaper methods make it easy for her to get the gist of the news by reading the ehad-lines, She is not a great care and goes along in the even tenor of her ways, takes things easy and is not disturbed by anything which happens"
 Mrs. Silliman has many Bridgeport friends who call in to see her occasion ally. One of them is Dr. c. Lincoln Banks, who has a fine farm near Mrs. Silliman's home in Easton- Dr. Banks drops in frequently to see the remark able woman.--Bridgepor Standard.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
(continued from Seventh Page.l

Continued from Seventh Page,) 142 IA looked like liquidation by the pool which, during a period of a fort night, ran it up from around 1s3 to 146 3-4. Some of the brokers on the floor thought that good buying orders again came in below 149, and that this perhaps signiied that another upward move is contemplated.
 In Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania especially there was heavy proft-taking. Not only was the supply of stock from the pools in these issues large, but ''trailers" and the pub- l lie who have been buying since Friday took profits.
 l There is bull talk on Sugar. It Is I claimed that the stockholders are going to get some of that surplus that dhas been accommodating for years. As high as 175 is predicted for the stock.
 Leading banks yesterday marked up their standing call loans from to 5 per cent and this was accompanied by a general rush of brokers to make pro- vision for immediate requirement.
 
 being paid for four, five and six months accommodation This represented an all-round advance of one- quarter of one per cent.
 Following the lead of Pennsylvania, it is regarded likely that Erie common will be put through 60 to help the con- version of bonds into stock. Those who said six months ago that Erie would be a second Reading are talking similar things again. The first preferred has recovered it's dividend.
 The 16-point rise in Great Northern preferred and the 7-point rise in North ern Pacific by early in the afternoon, with comparatively large trading in both, revived the report of the Hill lore deal again. Precisely the same report has circulated four or five times before.
 For the first time since the Union Pacific dividend was declared the bear trading element screwed up enough courage to sell some stocks short.
 Union Pacific naturally wants to get as high price for Its Great Northern and Northern Pacific as possible. That something would be heard later from the ore dear' was rather generally be- : lieved
 If the public continues in the market 3 1t is thought that Erie Rock Island 1 Southern Railway, Wabash. Texas Pa ciflc, Kansas and Texas Kansas City l Southern, Interborough and Wisconsin , Central will be in good demand, A director of the Union Pacific, whc l could not explain the S5-point advance in the common stock since July 19, was quoted yesterday as saying: T attend, ed a meeting of the board about ter days ago, when the question of divi dends was incidentally referred to, an( a 1t was voted to leave the whole matte ' of declaring a next dividend to the ex ecutive committee. The first intimatioi I had that the dividend was to be a the rate of 10 per cent. was from tn s news slips"

Louis ConISIin to Wed His Bride m rms
 City TO-day.
 Although still suffering from injuries received in an accident on August 2' when an automobile in which he was riding was struck by train at Orange burg, N. r, Lewis R. Conklin, a lawyer, of 50 Wall street. New York, is to be married to-day at the home of his bride-to-be, Miss Grace Frisbee, in this city. During the ceremony, which will be very brief owing to MT. Conklins condition, he will be supported by at tendants, as he is too weak to stand alone, Only the nearest relatives of the bride and groom will be present at the wedding Elbert Hamlin, of New York, Mr. Conklins law partner, will be the best man.
 The wedding to-day is the culmina- tion of a romantic meeting and engage .nent dating back ten years, when MT. Conklin, then man of tWenty-three years, came to New Haven to enter Yale
 Miss Frisbee was girl in short dresses when Conklin met her, but they became strongly attached to each other and during his college course ConlSlin was her devoted cavalier.
 When he was graduated the young student declared his love to Miss Fris- bee, and they became engaged. Conk- lin went to New York and entered the New York Law school. He had prom ised that the instant he had established a place for himself he would wed Miss Frisbee.
 The young law student worked hard and was graduated at the head of his class. He soon gained a good law prac- tice, and in June of this year, when Miss Frisbee returned from Italy, their engagement was announced,
 August 22 was fixed as the wedding day There was to have been an elab- crate ceremony at Christ church, and many of Conklin's college friends were to have been in attendance. Miss Fris- bee is prominent in society, and her friends had made preparations to at tend the wedding,
 Then came the accident which nearly caused the death of Mr. Conklin. As Conklin was crossing the tracks of the West Shore railroad at Orangeburg, N. T., in his automobile an express train struck the machine, hurling him through the air. He was picked up unconscious and taken to the hospital. His spine had been injured, he had internal in juries and he was a mass of bruises. When Miss Frisbee learned of the &C., cident she was nearly prostrated She , hurried to the hospital, and since has been at MT. Conklins side, aiding the doctors and nurses.
 I A few days after the accident MT. Conklin was taken to the Post -Gradu ate hospital in New York. A week ago it was decided that he was in condi- ton to be brought to Miss Frisbee's s home in this city. He was carried from the hospital in the arms of a nurse to a carriage and taken to the Grand Gen. tral station, where he was placed on a train for New Haven. He has been slowly convalescing, but he is far from being we'll and it will be months before he will be restored to health. As soon as MT. Conklin learned that he was to live he insisted that the wedding take place as arranged.

WOoDMoNT ELECTION.
Talk of Buying Golf Grounds.

Talk Of Buying Golf Grounds.
 The annual election of the borough of Woodmont will be held Saturday aft ernoon There is only one ticket in the field, the nominations having been made last Saturday, and the vote will be for approval After the meeting the matter of the proposed purchase of the golf grounds will be considered. The price asked is understood to be S20,000. The grounds are now leased and the plan is to purchase the lot and bes- sides using it for golf playing, to estab- fish a children's playground. This would require bonding the borough and some are opposed to that. The pur- chase plan, however, has many 6dvo- cates, as the golf grounds, it is argued would prove of increasing value to the borough.

FOLLY OF GETTING DDRowNED.
Don't be Guilty of it, but Learn to
 Swim

Don't be Guilty of it, but Learn to
 Swim.
 Reports from various parts of the country chronicle the deaths of thir- teen persons by drowning. Since then number of additional deaths from the same cause have been reported from points on lakes or rivers. In the ma jority of instances the victims lost their lives while boating or bathing or wading in the effort to secure relief from the summer heat. The record of mortality for the season thus far has been high
 Most of the deaths reported are traceable to one of two causes. They were due either to lack of knowledge of the art of swimming or to the reck- lessness or insufficient strength of per- sons who, knowing tow to swim, took unnecessary risks and put needless tax on their powers,
 Tn view of the large annual sacrifice or life in this way 1t is deporable that people, and especially residents of riv- or and lake towns, do not more gene- rally recognize the fact that swim ming, so far from being a mere accom- plishment, should be considered a ne- cessary part of the education of every physically capable boy or girl.
 Even a little ability in that direction Is important, since 1t may mean confi- denco and self-possession at critical moment. For those who have fond- mess for aquatic sports thorough mastery of the art and of the various expedients of saying ones strength and remaining afloat when exhausted is indispensable.
 Women and girls should learn to swim. A little attention given to this pleasant exercise will afford invaluable insurance against drowning, ,-Yonkers Statesman.

Was Employed on Dredger-Hnd
 ROwed to Bridge.
 Louis Dorga of Cartarette, N. J., em- ployed by the Gulf and Pacific Dredg- ing company at work in West river is supposed to have been drowned yes- terday morning near the Kimberly ave nue bridge. Shortly before 4 a. m. the man was ordered to row H. L. Watson ashore at the Kimberly avenue bridge. This is the last that has been heard of Dorga. Men working on the dredger went to work with grappling irons and worked for hours yesterday afternoon but failed to locate the body. The row. tance from the bridge
 Dorga left $95 in checks on the dredg- CT.
 The dredging company for which the man worked is the one that is filling in the mud flats at West river between Kimberly avenue and Congress avenue.
 Another version of the affair is that Dorga told several of his associates that he thought that he would turn in on little launch that was anchored to the West river dock near the Kim berly avenue bridge and sleep there un- til time to start work Some of his oom- panions agreed to awaken him when the time for work came.
 When they went to awaken him the man was not on the boat and there is said to have been evidence that he had met with foul play and had been drowned, and perhaps robbed before the act took place.
 Dredging for the body was kept right up until dark and will be resumed l this morning.
