Sunday afternoon, returned verdict
to the effect that he came to his death
by being run over while in a drunken
condition.
A number of witnesses were exam
ined and upon their testimony the YER
dict was predicated. 1t was proven
that Cation was intoxicated Sunday aft
ernoon, but whether he had fallen on
the railroad track or had voluntarily
laid down on it while In a drunken
stupor, was not determined. William

HAS UNCOVERED VERY
FINE VEIN OF COAL

John Hopkirk has uncovered a fine
vein of semi-bituminous coal at a
depth of little over 100 feet, three and
half miles southwest of town, which
he will develop as rapidly as the means
at his command will permit. Mr.. Hop
kirk has been at work on the property
for a long time, sinking the shaft by
his individual labor to the coal meas
ures, which he was confident would be
reached at no great depth.
The coal vein found by Mr.. Hopkirk
is said to be almost blanket one,
having less dip or inclination than
most properties of the kind in this
part of the Arkansas valley, conse-
quently can be easily and economically
worked. The coal lies between two
limestone stratums,, which will be of
great advantage in mining and will
permit It to be taken out very cheaply.
Mr.. HQpkirk,- Is to- be congratulated
upon his discovery. '"'

The neneflt of ocean rravellng.

It is said that trip abroad will do more towards making new men and new women than all of the theo- ries ever advanced by medical men
 It is natures workshop on the most improved scale, and also gives wider vision and a different view of men and things. In regard to the benefits and advantages of ocean travelling there Is no doubt; but the perplexing ques- ton heretofore has been the expense and how to overcome it. The Anchor line offers a solution of the problem in its low rates and unsurpassed steamships and service. Once on board one of its new commodious twin-screw steamships the passenger seems to ex- perience a higher and better life, and forgets that trouble ever existed. The voyage Is one of pleasurable compan- ionship and activity, or of absolute rest and seclusion, according to the desire of the individual-a trip for those who wish to retain their health as much as for thse who have lost their health. The accommodations and service are unsurpassed, and the old established reputation of the line for safety has won for it the name of 'sOid Reliable" Any person interested in foreign travel will find valuable infor- nation in the new Anchor line book of tours, which may be had free upon re- quest to Henderson Brothers, 17 and 19 Broadway, New York.

PLANNED GREAT STEAL. DOUGLASS CONFESSION Intended Taking Million to Compel Concealment of
 Minor Thefts.


 New York, May 13.-Details of a con- fession made by William o. Douglass, former loan clerk of the Trust Com pany of America, made public to-day, are to the effect that, acting on the advice of lawyer, he planned to steal $1, ,GOO,000 of securities in order to com pei the trust company to conceal his minor thefts.
 Douglass has already pleaded guilty to larceny and is awaiting sentence. According to his confession. he first took small quantities of bonds, and, borrowing money on them, lost 1t in speculation. When 1t was evident that he would not retrieve his losses a law yer was consulted, who advised that the only way out of the dilemma was to steal $1,OOO,OOO worth of securities and turn them over to the lawyer who might negotiate with the officials of the trust company for their return. Douglass understanding was that the lawyer expected to get $2O0,000 from the trust company for the restoration of the securities, which would have been sufficient to cover the amounts Douglass has already borrowed and tnst

coRB1N AUTOS MEET FAVOR.
New Car Just Put on Sale Here Looks
 n Winner.

The Corbin automobile, the agency iof which has just been secured here by the Arrow Auto company of 161 Commerce street, has been the subject of much favorable comment by all who have seen 1t. Its beauty of finish. easy manipulation and reliable construction have all be remarked,
 With autoihg becoming. more and more in vogue, and with new recruits being constantly added to the already large ranks of converts, people are be- coming more and more interested in the subject of buying autos.
 Many contend that $2,5OO Is enough to pay for a car. This being admitted, t.e next step is to learn which is theI best possible value that can be secured at this price. With the almost endless number of different makes on the market, and the makers ransaeking dictionaries to find adjectives and su- perlatives to proclaim theirs the best ever, 1t is a most perplexing problem for the prospective purchaser to decide "who is who and why.
 IL resolves itself into the question of efficiency and economy. based on quail ty. A car should be simplicity itself in constructions; it should require the minimum of fuel to operate; the work marship and materials should be the best procurable. This combination of features is an ideal one and it should swell the heart of every citizen in the Nutmeg State with the pride that such la car is made right in this state in New Britain.
 The Corbin full jeweled air-cooled motor car embodies all these merito- rious points, and quality for quality it is the best value on the market for $2,5OO. And 1t remained for the enter prise of the Arrow Auto company of .151 Commerce street to take up the ex- elusive local agency or this machine They simply ask the pleasure of a dem |onstration and let the rider form his own decision.
 While perhaps the newest arrival in the New Haven market, the Corbin cones here with an already establish ed reputation. The builders of the car have tested and proven the reliable qualities of their product and those who have examined the vehicle here arc enthusiastic over the working of the car.
 From the interest taken by prospec- tive buyers who are looking over the new car it seems foregone fact that Corbins will soon be darting all over the town.
