ECCENTRIC WEATHER WAVES.
Strangest Occurred in Summer oi
 1816-Frost Destroyed Crops.

The weather of the past few weeks has been trial of patience and phy- sical endurance even to those who ordinarily accept uncomplainingly the heat and cold of the seasons. Some of us may have concluded by this time that the climate of New England, or even of the whole coun- try, is actually changing-that the summers are getting hotter and the winters getting colder.
 The records, however. show that for scores of years in New England there has been no such eccentricity of weather as has afflicted this region in the not remote past. In his Rec ollections" s. G. Goodrich, the origi- nal Peter Farley, preserves an ac- count of the extraordinary weather of the summer of 1916, which was the eoldest that had been known here for a century. when New England, from Connecticut to Maine, there were se- we're frosts in every month. In that year crops were entirely destroyed or reduced in volume to less than one half the normal harvest, and the hills in June were almost as barren as in November.
 So severe was the cold that many thousands of people believed that New England was destined to become part of the frigid zone, and in con- sequence of this impression there was great tide of emigration from this section of the country to the west.
 As compared with so distinct a meteorological eccentricity as that of the summer of 1s16, the periods of unusual heat or cold which occur now in New England are not to be seriously considered The records for any given period. indeed. since the establishment of the weather bu- reau. reveal an annual average of seasonable heat and cold. which lndi- cate no appreciable change of cli- Globe.

CONNIFF A HERO
ne Saved Waterbury Passenger Train From Wreck To-Day.

A very serious railroad wreck would have occurred on the rail. road tracks near Terryville this morning about o'clock If it had not been for the quick work of J T. Conniff of South street, this city Conniff Jagged the passenger tralr which left this city at 7:10 for Hartford just as it was about tc crash into II fiat cars which were across the main line. But Connifl not only Jagged the train; he un- aided, had stopped a train of 35 hat cars from tearing along the rails and colliding with the passenger train. Fourteen of them got on the line before he was able to halt the train by putting ties between the wheels. When he had the cars stop ped he broke into a telegraph station nearby and succeeded in running up a red flag.
 Conniff is a night watchman near the Terryville gravel pit from which point the runaway cars started. There is slight incline to the sid ing near the pit and 1t was on this siding that the 35 fiat cars were standing. About five minutes to eight Conniff, who was in the vicin- ity. noticed that the cars seemed to be moving just Ekae. Before he got near them they began to go along with a little more speed and soon they were we'll started down the siding headed for the main track.
 There was no one around to aid Conniff and realizing that there were no brakes on the cars, he began to look around for something to block the wheels. Coming upon a pile of railroad ties he carried them to the rails and continued to throw them between the wheels until the cars were halted. Fourteen had reached the main line, the other 21 remain ing on the siding.
 Conniff knowing we'll that the regular to Hartford would soon be bounding along the rails understood that something must be done. There is a sharp curve in the road where the cars were blocking the tracks, so Conniff knew the engineer of the oncoming train would not have much of chance of bringing the engine to standstill unless he had a more timely warning. So he rushed to a small telegraph sta- tion short distance down the track and breaking in the door hoisted a red flag. He had no more than had It up when the regular came along. The regular train was halted and fha fat pnrc uaraF nufaklx rom papynd Conniff was highly praised by the crew for his forethought and quick action. He disappeared before the passengers had chance to express their thanks for saving them from what might have been serious in- jury.

ALCOHOLIC QUESTION.
Correspondent Who Differs With
 Writer on Evils of Drink.

Editor of Evening Democrat:
 Every comparison is lame. omnis eomparatio elaudicat.
 I do not agree with Professor Hu- go on the evils of drink, which 1 have seen in ihe Democrat July P, 1908. His comparison is not ade- quate. He compares the alcoholic evils with railroads and ladies evils and says: Does any sane man arr que that we ought to abolish rail- roads?" would say. that by abol- ishing the alcoholic drinks, we would by one and the same act dim the bad inclination of the Ameri- can youth 10 the crimes of women. I have heard a great many good citizens speaking. that. if the rail- road men were forbidden to use the alconclie drinks, the railroad misfo-sunes would be much less numerous. would rather compare alcohol to noxious weeds. or to snakes, no wise man will call an- other man a fool for trying to root out weeds from his field. or for al, tempting to exterminate snakes? To place on the same level the use Of railroads with the use of alcohol. in my opinion it seems a foolishness If there Is any good use of alcohol in plara Of medicine. even then in very ra-e cases it may be. even about thia. doub very much, for I have made an experiment on n.y. self; whist the use of railroads tn our days Is so great. that peo- rle could not live for one month without it. For that money which Is wasted yearly eoald be easily procured a very safe pro;ac ion even against all railroad disasters.
 Gnlsss you root ouf Fli the nox- ious weeds altogsther. they wilI grow again. fl is the same thing with the alcoholic evils. there Is DO other remedy 10 cure it. than that of ex- terminating the Sourcs from vh.rh the evil comes. Alcohol ands on the same hasis Sith morphine and other poisonous ekfrarts. uhv aou'd it not be guarded in the same way as the formerr If any phyxicsaa wsaid prescribe me alcohol as meif- cine to cure me from sickness which Is internal. that is. which requires a drinking. ! would Hos call the phy- siciHn any more. nor would I con suit him any longer.

ONE VIEW OF WALKER CASE.
And Some Incidental Suggestions
 Concerning Power of Parole.

Concerning Power of Parole.
 MT Eggleston's contention that the power to parole, which now rests with the warden of the prison and the directors, should be transferred to the board of pardons, will not bear investigation, says the New Haven Journal-Courier. We are sure that his conclusions have not been carefully thought out, and that as matter of fact he has been hurried to them by his personal chagrin at seeing Walker get less than he thinks should be coming to him. As the law now stands the men who are entrusted with the power of parole are peculiarly fitted to exercise it. Warden Garvin is a man of great experience and sound judgment in all matters relating to the criminal Jurisdiction of the state. His directors by protracted experience are almost to a man trained in the art of rightly estA. mating the worth of prisoners. There is no comparison between the par ticular ability, required in this con- nection, possessed by the board of parole and the board of pardons. It would be a mistake to transfer the power from the one to the other. If there is to be any transfer at aIf 1t should be transfer of the pow CTS of the board of pardons to the board of parole.
 As matter of fact the case of Walker has been as well disposed of as 1t could have been under the Connecticut law IL will be some time after the expiration of a sim gle year before Walker breathes the free air of heaven again. He real izes that. If he is given his liberty before the expiration nf the full term of 20 years. with legal time off for good behavior. 1t will be be- cause men of judgment will decide that the state can better afford to take that step than keep him in prison longer. There is no need for worry over tdat or him.
