FEAR OF APPLE CROP.
Lack of Rain New Playing Havoc With
Orchards.

The farmers of the vicinity of Sey-
mour are getting anxious concerning
their vegetables and the apple crop.
The lack of rain has already played
havoc with them, and unless there is
more moisture during the next week or
two, several thousand dollars will be
lost in the harvest. Apples are report
ed to be dropping from the trees, which
is a bad sign. If the apple crop is
ruined it will be on account of the dry
weather, for the early prospects were
good, whilethe cold weather is RESPONSE
Bile for the failure of the peach crop,
A drive through the country will re-
veal the true state of affairs What
were swiftly running trout streams a
month ago are now little more than Try
lanes through woodland and meadows
1t is thought that the corn crop will
be the least affected of all by the pres
ent conditions.
One man who has been an observer
of the weather for a great many years
says that he cannot remember when
there was ever so dry a spring and
summer as the present one and SO few
showers.

Southington, Aug. 1.-THE celebra-
ton of Maria S. S. dele Nevi ended
last night in something very similar to
q panic, After the band concert the
people went to West Center street to
view the fireworks Everything went
well for while and the people were
enjoying the beautiful display when
without a moments warning a terrific
down pour of rain came. The crowd
had come into as small place as
possible and fully 5000 people were lit
orally packed in between the railroad
tracks and the white bridge. AS soon
as the downpour of rain came there
was a mad rush for shelter, but there
was absolutely no place of shelter in
that section. Children were trampled
on and each one seemed to think only
of himself A horse, which was
frightened by the band dashed into
the crowd and trampled two children,
but was stopped beforehe could do SER
ious damage. The children were taken
to their homes and were found to be
merely bruised.
Another fracas occurred near the
cutlery factory and one italian is
showing a cash in his head for it: 1t
seems that he got into an argument
with another over the merits of the
new band. His opponent hurled a rock
and struck him in the head rendering
him unconscious. He was taken to
the office of DR.. Sullivan and his
wounds were dressed
Louis Martin, who was in charge of
the Italian celebration, had a very
narrow escape yesterday afternoon. II
appears that a young Italian was in
truding on Martins property and
Louis undertook to prevent him, The
intruder pulled 10-inch stilletto and
was about to strike when he was STOP
ped by on-lookers. The eulprit made
good his escape but an effort will be
made to round him up. Prosecuting
Attorney Brown is in possession
of his stilletto, which Is a monster.

THE HoADLEY SUITS.
Two More Filed To-day In the Su-
 perior Court.

Lawsuits are still piling up on c. E. Hoadley the ex-local agent for the New England Mutual Life Insurance company. Two more were filed against him in the superior court to- day. The more serious one, Edward L. Goulden of IA Division street, is plaintiff and he charges Hoadley with converting to his own use land worth S4,000. Henry H. Ashenden Is de- fendant also. Goulden alleges to have owned in Brooklyn, N. T., certain land near what is known as Friars farm, and that it was held in trust for him by Hoadley and Ashenden. On Sep tember 1904 he claims that they sold this land to the Connecticut Real Es- tate company taking payment in the form of sock in the company in their own names. '.-
 Goulden alleges Hoadley received dividends on this stock which he used for his own purposes and subsequent ly sold the stock and held the proceeds. Goulden claims damages of S4,000. An attachment for S5,000 has been made. In the other suit John N. Muson of Woodbury is the plaintiff and Henry W French is named as defendant with Hoadley. French, however, only owns mortgage for $750 on land which Hoadley mortgaged to the plaintiff on note for SLIGO. The property in question is located at Highland park. Damages of $500 are claimed in this case.

THE KNAPP CASE. Attorney Bronson Will Take An Ap-
 peal From Gager's Decision.

Attorney N. R. Bronson has given notice of appeal from Judge Gager's decision in the appeal of w. M. Camp from the county commissioners. Thus does the case of Sarah Knapp's sa- loon license take another trip and in another form to the supreme couit. Twice the county commissioners over ruled Attorney Bronson's remon- strance in this matter. Then he tackled the action of the town meet ing of 1900 in allowing lease to the Waterbury Driving association of the driving park. The supreme court decided in favor of the lessees. Then Mir Bronson, defeated three times but still defiant carried the fight over the grave of George Knapp and trans ferred 1t to his widow. Again the county commissioners decided against MT Bronson. He appealed to the superior court and few days ago Judge Gager decided once more against MT Bronson, who now has started the case on it's last stage. to the supreme court.
