WOMAN KILLED
 AT CROSSING Wife of Danbury's Fx-Post- master Meets Death in
 Accident. TWO OTHERS INJURED Daughter of Victim Jumps from Carriage Just Be- fore Train Hits It.
TWO OTHERS INJURED

Danbury, June 28.--Mrs A. Cooke seeiey was killed outright, while two of her companions, Mrs. George Decker and Howard s. Hoyt, were badly injur- ed when the Pittsheld express bound for Pittshe1d, struck the carriage con- taining them as 1t was crossing the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road at Greenwood ave-. nue, Bethel, tonight. A fourth occu- pant of the carriage, Mrs. E. B, Rose year, daughter of Mrs. Seeley, jumped as the engine struck the eouipage and escaped injury. All the members of the party were from this city and are well known. Mrs Seeley, who was killed, was about sixty years old, wife of a former postmaster of Danbury and a member of a very prominent family. MT. Hoyt is wealthy retired business man
 When the engine struck the carriage the pair of horses attached to it were killed and caught up by the pilot where they remained until taken off The carriage was thrown up against the baggage car and wrecked, the oc- cupants being hurled out with the ex- ception of Mrs. Rosevear, who saved herself by jumping just before the ir1- pact.
 The gateman, 1t is said, was about to lower the gate at the crossing when the carriage was driven on the tracks, but 1t is believed that MT. Hoyt, who Is credited with being a careful driver saw neither the gateman nor was aware that a train was approaching until 1t was upon them, the building near the crossing preventing a view up and down the track from the avenue approaches.
 The party had been out for an after noon's drive and were on their way back to this city when the accident oc- cured. Coroner Doten will investigate.

 In December, 1899, MT. Griswold re- ceived notice that the selectmen would no longer occupy his rooms as a court house. Judge Zacher received a like notice, to which they paid no attention. The selectmen, with the aid of the town clerk, William R. Foote, broke in- to the court house and took away be- longings of the town but The Branford temple of justice continued to be held in tme same spot until the spring of 1901, when Judge zacher went out of office and Judge Doolittle promptly moved into the town hall.
 Grlswold brought suit for rent, and the town set up that the lease was voted as not being in writing, and be- cause the selectmen at the end of their term had not the right to make a con- tract which ran beyond their term Griswold's counsel claimed that the contract was at least good for year. Judge Bennett yesterday afternoon an nounced that he should sustain that claim. This entities Griswold to recov- CT of the town about S42O and costs. Judge Zacher and E. P. Arvine appear

 day to Break It.

New York June 2S.--The American Ice company will attempt tomorrow morning to break the strike of the 2Oo0 drivers who quit work to-day, fol- lowing demand for an increase in the wages of helpers. one-half of the usual number of teams will be started out if the companys plans are success full. Should they fail, as the strikers declare will be the case. the situation from the consumers standpoint will be serious.
 The gravest development of to-day lay in the threat of the union to int1u- encethe crews of the ice barges to go out on a sympathetic strike If the boatmen yield the supply of ice will have been exhausted by Monday, as the artificial plants cannot supply five per cent of the demand,

It was threatened that to-mor- row the strike would spread to Brook lyn.
 The city hall was stormed by in- dignant protestants to-day. The dan gers of a hot weather epidemic were emphasized by all who could be heard bv the mayor who, when convinced that the situation was beyond the street cleaning department, directed \ the health department to take hold. He Rappointed Dr. Walter Bensel, assistant k ksanitary superintendent, acting sani- y tarv superintendent. Dr. Bensel had f some difficulty in getting drivers, but ' ..he force was gradually increased dur ing the night, The work was begun on the eastslde and police board accom- panied each wagon.

Taft Says Government Is Not DissatIs-

 Washington, June 2S,-"It is tissue of falsehood," said Secretary Taft to- day, when his attention was called to the reports of dissatisfaction on the part of the administration with the management of affairs under the isth- milan canal commission and of the in- tention of the officers engaged in that work to relinquish 1t and return to the United States. The secretary emphati- cally declared that he had not received a single conmunicat ton from Lieuten- ant Colonel Goethels showing that he was dissatisfied or desired to end his connection with the work.
 NO immediate change is contempla- ted in the administration of affairs on the isthmus," continued the secretary, "and there has not been single kick of any sort. There is no truth in the stories of the army officers asking for leaves of absence to return to the United States"

 of Meeting Strikers With Force.
 Paris, June 2S.-The chamber of dep- uties by decisive majority of 12o after an exciting eight hour debate voted confidence in the governments policy to insure respect for the law. Premier Clemenceau's victory was more de- cisive than his most ardent friends had looked for. During the session the ex- treme socialists, who directed the at- tack on the government, put forward speaker after speaker but notwith- standing the savage blows they struck they proved to be no match for M. Clemenceau who Is past grand master in parliamentary debate.
 The premier based his defence of the governments use of force upon the ground that the situation in the south with two hundred municipalities strik- ing and their population refusing to pay taxes could not be tolerated.

LIQUIDATION LIVELY.
Low Priced Stocks Were Affected the
 Most.

Most.
 New York, Oct. 9.-There was re- newal of liquidation of securities to- day, particularly In the low priced stocks, those selling below 40 being most affected. The majority of these stocks sold to-day at the lowest prices of the year and made wide declines. Stocks of this grade are favorites in Holland and those that are most SO were the most affected in to-days liquidation The selling orders were said by commission houses to come di- rect by cable from Amsterdam The selling from that source was so con- centrated and so conspicuous that it gave rise to continual reports of finan- cial embarrassment in Amsterdam which was forcing liquidation. It was an extension of the same kind of sell 1 ing as that which forced Chesapeake and Ohio down yesterday. Other low priced stocks, both among the rail roads and industrials, especially among the non-dividend payers, came into the movement to-day. The Amsterdam selling was attributed to difficulties peculiar to that market and was not associated with conditions of the properties the stocks of which were being sold
 On the domestic side, however, in dustrial and financial conditions were an influence and promoted liquidation supplementary to that for foreign ac- count Growing misgivings are caus- ed by the persistence of rumors of l falling off In orders for various classes of equipment and of reduction of la bor forces by several of the industries engaged in those lines. Both the rail- road and electrical equipment stocks suffered acutely to-day from the dis semination of rumors of this kind and the authoritative denial of some of them did not relax the pressure upon l the stocks. The United States Steel stocks were affected also by the re- ports of intended steel rail produc- ton by several rival companies. The reports of net earnings of railroads for August in several recent instances show such inroads upon gross earn ings by growth of operating expenses as to affect the net showing material | ly. Non-dividend paying railroad stocks which have sold on prospects of future dividends were notably in- huenced by this situation.
 There was grave discussion of the unsavory disclosures of financial methods being brough about by the inquiry into the New York traction companies and the bad effect to be feared in still further impairing the credit of corporations.
 The price of copper receded again in London and at the New York metal exchange. The increase in the volume of the market and declines running up to 3 or 4 points for some of the ac- tive stocks show how effective were these various considerations on the market.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value, $1,734,O0o,

The National Agricultural Depart ment reported yesterday the condition of corn on October 1 as IS per cent, as compared with 18.7 bushels for 1906 ana 14.7 bushels for 1905. The production of spring and winter wheat combined is about 625,567OOO bushels, compared with 35,26O,97O bushels as estimated a year ago.

One other incident of the day was the iron trade output figures for Sep tember; they were in some respects surprising. Average daily iron pro- duction seems to have run 200 tons above that of August, and weekly ca pacity at date is enlarged by 4,0O0 tons. This means, of course. that trade is not slackening in this coun- try; 1t agrees with the figures pub lished regarding the German iron trade.

SELECTING CORN FOR
EXHIBITION PURPOSE.

The season is somewhat late, but a
recent Investigation throughout the
corn belt shows that corn is making
rapid progress and there is no reason
why good ten and thirty ear samples
cannot be chosen from the fields in
every state in the Union. Go through
the fields occasionally, note and mark
the ears which are most completely
developed and which give promise
from the outside of being we'll formed.
The Indications of early maturity is an
early drying OF the silk, an early turn
ing yellow of the husk and a tendency
to droop. AS soon as the kernels are
dented and hardened, pick off the ears
and take them to the drying house or
granary.
1t must be remembered that it will
not do to gather the ears before they
are sufficiently matured They must
not shrink preceptibly, when they are
thoroughly dryed out.
