CORONER B1ASrEs FENDER.
Holds That it Was Deficient in Death
 of Nutole Boy.

Coroner Mix in his finding in the death of John Nutole, the little Italian
 lad who was killed by being run over
 by trolley car at State street, near the Mayo Radiator company factory,
 Friday afternoon, holds that the mo- torman Is free from all blame in the
 matter as he did all that was in his power to avert the accident. He does hold, however, that the fender on the
 car was defective and states that the child was struck by an end of the fen der and instead of being pushed out of harms way or picked up was thrown lunder the wheels. T am of the opin- ion," he says in the official finding,
 had there been a completely equipped fender upon this car similar to those now on cars designated as the Connec- ticut Railway and Lighting company's
 cars, in this particular instance this child, struck as 1t was, would have been thrown one side and not under meath the car"
 The coroner finds that the car was going at about four to six miles an hour at the time when the accident occurred.

The big touring car struck Seeley a sharp blow on the side, threw him under the wheels and then ran over him before it could be brought to stop by the chauffeur, William F. Driscoll. In the machine at the time aside from the man at the wheel was Mrs. Thorne, who was on her way to Norwalk where she expected to meet Dr. Thorne on the arrival of the New York train.
 seeley, a short time before the &C., cidont occurred boarded a trolley car for the purpose of going to the town meeting in this place over the good roads proposition and as the car came to halt in front of the town hall he alighted and walked to the forward end of it. Before the car started again Seeley crossed over in front of it and was struck by the automobile, going at an easy rate of speed in the same di- rection as the car which Seeley had just left.
 Mrs. Thorne uttered sharp scream as her machine struck seeley and nearly tainted Driscoll was complete- ly overcome by the accident and had to be carried to nearby barn where two doctors worked over him and with the aid of restoratives he soon recov- cred For short time he was hys- terical.

FIRE AT ST. JOHNS R. c.
Lightning Nearly Causes Disastrous
 Blaze There.

St Johns R. c. church on Daven- port avenue was threatened with de- struction as the result of the thunder storm which struck this city Saturday evening. A bolt was carried into the church along an electric wire that conveys power to the organ, and this started blaze in the organ loft The first was accompanied by noise like an explosion which attracted the att tention of Father Coyle, who was in the parish house. He hurried into the church and fought the flames with a hand extinguisher which was in the building until the arrival of fire ap- paratus summoned on still alarm to Go. No. 1. The fire gave the men a stubborn fight. It ate it's way through the floor of the loft and set fire to a gas pipe that runs into the loft. Prompt work saved the church from what might easily have been a very bad fire. The loss will amount to sev- eral hundred dollars.

STREAMS STILL VERY LOW
DEEP WELLS NOT FILLING
Woodbridge Farmer Says Rains Got Down But Few Inches
 Into Ground.

Streams and brooks in the country towns are still very low and deep wells have not filled at all despite the heavy rains of the last two or three weeks. The thirsty soil drank up and absorbed the rain which penetrated only few inches. A Woodbridge far mer speaking of these conditions said yesterday:
 The rains here got down into the soil But few inches. They came too late to do any good, to speak of, to the corn and vegetables. They fresh tened up the grass considerably and made the landscape look better but the wells are just as dry as ever. No rainwater reached the deep wells. We are pestered to get water for the cat tie. Where there are no brooks the cattle soon eat all the grass in sight and then we have to drive the cat tie long distances for water. When we can we pasture them near brook

T0ENR|CR FARM LAND
Planting OF Forage Crops Advised
by Government Expert.
SEEDS GIVEN AWAY FOR TESTS

Harry N. vinal Says English Blue
Grass Will Prove Beneficial to Farm
ers For Many Reasons-Easy to Plant
and Maintain.
To encourage an improvement in the
forage crops In the middle western
states Is one of the features of the
work undertaken by the bureau Of
plant industry, now the strongest In
the United States department of ag-
riculture, says the Kansas City Star.
Harry N. vinall of Washington,
an agent of the bureau Of plant indus
try, who has been guest at the Savoy
hotel in Kansas City. is making expert
ments In Arkansas, Missouri. Kansas
and Iowa to introduce better forage
crops among the farmers
Tho government is now encouraging
the farmers to plant English blue grass,
or meadow fescue," as 1t Is called. 1t
Is much stronger and coarser than tho
Kentucky blue grass. 1t Is now grown
In Johnson county, Kan, more exten-
sively than in any other section of the
United States, and this county Is the
headquarters from which the industry
Is encouraged. 1t Is there that the
seeds are produced which are used by
this government. The grass Is har-
vested like grain and thrashed In an
ordinary thrnshing machine. 1t Is Of
perennial growth.
''The bureau Of plant industry has
been cooperating with few farmers
In various sections of the country by
giving them enough seeds to SOW an
acre Of ground In the new forage
crops" Mr.. Vinall said recently. Mr..
Vnall is graduate Of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college. The English blue
grass, alfalfa, clover, timothy, redtop
and other forage crops are being in
troduced all over the country. The old
method Of planting the same crop Of
corn or wheat or oats on q piece Of
ground every year robs the soil Of Its
fertility, and farming becomes less
profitable. The object of these expert
ments by the government Is to intro
duce more modern methods OF farming
to preserve the fertility OF the soil.
1He Olu IIfetuOu IL W pliilll IIOp
Of corn on piece Of land where corn
has been grown for years. When the
corn Is gathered In the fall, the cows
are turned In and eat down the little
forage left - the stalks. The land Is
idle until another crop Of corn is plant
ed That kind Of farming doesn't pay.
The land needs rest from the same
old crop. These forage crops Of clo-
yer, alfalfa, redtop and timothy and
other things should be introduced as
fertilizer as well as for profit There
Is money in forage crops. If farm
er once understands how to keep his
land busy all the time without impair
Ing Its fertility, he has discovered the
secret of profitable farming. This is
what the government Is trying to
teach.'
The government gives Information
on application about these various
crops, but L does not give away seed
except when 1t chooses to make expert
ments.

bred from an American dam and rid
den by an American jockey, Johnny"
Reiff, having beaten all the British
cracks and captured the blue ribbon
Of the worlds turf by two lengths.
Outside of Mr. Croker and his imme-

Aside from winning the blue ribbon
Of the turf Mr.. Croker made fortune.
In the first place the stakes, $500

Orby has increased to such an extent
that Mr.. Croker may, II he SO desires,
