HIS SKULL FRACTURED

Little Malcolm Mansfield of 522
Winchester avenue was fatally injured
yesterday afternoon at 2:45 while
playing in the street In front of his
home. Malcolm was struck by an in
bound Winchester avenue car. He
was taken to the New Haven hospital,
where he died at 4:30. The lad. who
was the tive-year-ol son of Albert
Mansfield, who is empIoyed at the
Winchester shops, was playing in the
road with several other small COM
lpanions, when his attention was at
tracted to a ball game. Not noticing
| the approaching car or not realizing
the danger little Malcolm started to
cross the tracks. The car was coming
at the average speed, about seven
miles an hour, and the car was so
close to the lad that the motorman
was unable to stop it in time. Seeing
that an accident was unavoidable, he
threw down the fender. but for some
treason or other the child went under
lit.
The car was brought to a stop inside
of car length, and the child was
pulled out from under it, He was un-
conscious when taken from beneath
the car, but was seemingly unhurt
otherwise. The only mark on his
body was what appeared to be a scalp
wound. The conductor of the car car
ried the unconscious child to a nearby
drug store, where the New Haven hos
pital ambulance was called. At that
institution 1t was found that his skull
was fractured
When taken from beneath the car
the body was between the tracks, and
| in parallel position to them. No
part of it was near the car wheels
NJ Paylice was the motorman and
M. Bodlander the conductor of the car
which ran little Malcolm down. They
both have good records.
The case was turned over to the
medical examiner, DR.. Bartlett, and
he in turn passed it on to the county
coroner. Mr.. Mix will hold an inquest
probably some time to-day.

Names.
BUT FEW NAMES ADDED

The work Of the deputy registrars
in the various wards in recording the
voters who are entitled in each ward
to vote at the democratic primaries or
the republican caucuses was complet-
ca yesterday evening. The registra-
ton this year, it was stated, was rath-
er quiet, not many new names being
added in any of the wards. The main
work of the registrars was In enroll
ing the removals from ward to ward.
In the First ward there was not one
new name added in the enrolling
period in either party. In the Third
ward the democrats added fourteen
to their previous list
The Fourth ward showed the big
gest work of any in the city There
the democrats added $50 and the re-
publicans 81. The Eighth ward gave
the republicans twelve new names
and the democrats ten, but large
number of transfers occurred in this
ward, which kept the registrars busy.
A total of seventy-one was added to
the republican list, including the
transfers, and eighty-five to the DEM
ocratic
In the Thirteenth ward the republi-
cans had eighteen new names and the
democrats four. Each recorded
twelve transfers. The total on the
list in this ward is: Republicans 1862,
democrats 1874
The republicans got an addition of
an even dozen in the Fourteenth, to
four for the democrats, The repub-
lican list reads 104, to 100 for the
democrats.
There were about forty or fifty add
ed to the democratic list in the Fifth
ward. In the Fifteenth there was an
addition of about thirty, about equally
divided between the two parties.

1t is generally understood that the
arrest and prosecution of Conductor
Dargan is only the beginning of a
sharp war which the company will
wage on dishonesty among Its en-
ployes.
General Manager Punderford when
seen last evening, said:
THE company has known for some
time that it has been losing consider
able sums of money through the dis
honesty o. some of its conductors and
1t has discharged quite number of
men in the last few weeks on this ac-
count. But this has not had the deter
rent effect hoped for, and the company
has now felt obliged to make an arrest
in order to protect its interests.
"The evidence under which Dargan
was arrested was obtained by twelve
detectives and it was corroborated by
other parties. He is also charged with
other Irregularities.
Mr.. Punderford said that one day
last week he in company with severa'
other officers of the company rode or
trolley car on which there were
twenty-ntne passengers, and that the
conductor failed TO register nine Of
the fares collected.
No announcement could be obtained
as to whether an extension of the
campaign to the New Haven lines was
contemplated.

chiId's Supreme Faith.

ITO the Dear God in Heaven
Please make mother better. She is
Mrs. - of Huskisson street"
This exquisitely touching, supremely
trustful little note in childish scrawl
was found in the mails Of hard, old,
commercial Liverpool recently 1t was
written, it was found later, by a wee
little girl who had barely learned to
make her letters and spell, but every
character was distinctly formed and
every word was correctly spelled.
The callous old postoffice employee
who first handled this petition that
puts to shame 999 out of every 1000
prayers delivered in the churches was.
1t is needless to say, so deeply affected
that he could hardly read the address.
After a conference with his fellows the
postal clerk took the soul-touching
appeal to the principal newspaper in
the city instead of to a minister.
The editor verified the accuracy Of
the little ones tender petition and then
took all possible steps to act as the
agent of God in relief for the sick
mother. The childs trusting plea re-
ceived still further realization when
the woman began to improve as soon
as she heard of the wondrous faith of
her wee daughter and was soon well.

AUGUST.

(From the Milwaukee Sentinel),
Beyond the boundaries of city life.
Beyond the turmoil and the restless
throng,
Beyond the hives where struggling is
rife.
A lark, full-throated, skyward sends
its song.
From fields of clover. billowy and fair.
The faint sweet fragrance rises on the
air
The mondays hot; the woods are dank
and cool,
At night the fireflies gem the meadow
grass;
The purple flags are listless in the
pool.
That mirrors leafy banks like pol
ished glass.
The fields and vines give hint of sum-
mer's spoil,
And from afar there comes the sound
of toll
The bending skies are brightly gemmed
at night,
And thro' the leaves, by gentle breezes
stirred,
Comes filtering the moonbeam's silv'ry
light
In yonder copse a lonely night birds
heard,
The roses petals fall and kiss the sod.
And all the waysides CLEAN with gold
en-rod
