FALL CAMPAIGN
Mayor Tboms Gives Ris 0piDion
 on Some Things.

What is the local democracy do- ing to get into shape for the fall campaign is a question frequently asked these times, and while the answer is not always forthcoming 1t can be stated truthfully that they are not idle, but they are not givs ing out their plans, and in this they are wise The question was put to Mayor Thoms to-day by a Democrat reporter and after some hesitation he replied as follows:
 Some of the people who think that Taft will have walk over In Connecticut are going to be badly often indulge in political prophecies and am not going to now, and can't tell how 1t will look in Octo- Der. but I am very certain that If an election were held to-day, Bryan. would get good round majority in Waterbury
 The feeling of the voters is slow ly but surely turning toward him in this city--the evidences of 1t arc plain enough for any man with po- litical experience to see. l could name a dozen men in my own per sonal acquaintance, who I know vot- ed for Roosevelt in 1904, that have told me that unless something oc- cured to change their minds, they should certainly vote for Bryan. do not pretend to know just why this is, but I think the feeling Is Act fnZd ov a safer, sounder, saner man than Roosevelt ever was, and that Taft is only faint reflection of the
 president. His journey. to Oyster Bay to have his speech of accapt- ance revised and approved was about the weakest thing any candi- date for the presidency has ever done
 About the governorship, 1t looks as though Lilley would be nominat- ed. No one seems to want him very much, but the state machine promised 1t to him two or three years ago, and feels bound to deliver the goods. If the Taft majority in this state runs high enough, he will be elected. If it falls below 25,- 4UUU, luluk Llllcy VIII U6 uCdiSn. Locally, the democratic party Is | en splendid condition. harmonious
 and we'll organized. I know some
 people say otherwise, but then, these
 same people said otherwise year
 ago.
 The democratic party will nom-
 mate a good local ticket and make
 a clean and aggressive campaign. If
 1t has anything to say about any,
 body, as It most likely will, 1t will
 comment on his public record, or
 will say what 1t has to say over
 some ones signature. I don't be-
 lieve ih anonymous mud slinging. Tn the first place 1t isn't fair. and in
 the second place, It doesn't pay. Waterbury democracy will give a
 good account of itself in the Noyem-
 Der election. The ordinary citizen,
 on short time. Is not hungering for I four years more. and there doesn't
 appear to be any good reason why | he should be.

NEW CURE FOR LoCKJAw.
Solution of Magnesium Sulphate In
 iected Into the Shine.

The Magee annex, also known as lthe Pasteur institute, attached to the Mercy hospital of Pittsburg, comes to the fore with what it claims is the first real cure for tetanus. or lock- jaw. Magnesium sulphate injected into the spinal column is said to have effected the cure.
 Last evening Harry Gilbert. IA years of age, was discharged from the Pasteur annex as well. His was one of the most severe cases to come un- der the notice of local physicians. and the new cure was watched with great interest.
 The boy was hurt with a toy pis- tol on July and on July 13 was car ried to the hospital in convulsions Injections of per cent solution oi magnesium sulphate was started and gradually increased to 15 per cent By degrees the body of the boy, which had become rigid, resting only on the back of his head and the heels began to relax. Anti-toxin too, Was used in good quantities to assist ir the work of relaxing the muscles. Al the hospital physicians assert that there was no hope of anti-toxin say. ling the boys life so far had the dis. ease progressed before he was treat ed. The treatment lasted twelve days before the muscles of the body be came once more pliant, and the las nine days had been spent by the phy sicians in examining the boy to ses that his condition is what it wal claimed by the Mercy hospital phy sicians.
 Bellevue hospital, New York, has been greatly interested in the case ol young Gilbert. It Is said by the Mer cy hospital people that for some dayt there has been one of the Bellevue staff here watching the case. Belle vue, 1t is said, has lost three cases O tetanus similar to that of young Gil bert since July 4.

CORN ONE CENT AN EAR.
New Industry Opens in Hartford
 Idea Imported From New York.


 Hartford. Aug. 6.-Boiled corn at one cent an ear is the latest on the east side. As reporter walked up Pleasant street yesterday, he saw q steaming ear of the delicious edible being removed by a small pair of tongs and handed over to customer at one of the fruit stands. The re- porter was about to interview the salesman when he espied another in the same line of business little farther up the street. The latter said he had been in the business about a week and that he was the pioneer in this city. He had continued only a few days when nearby competition arose.
 Asked as to the amount of business which he did he said that his aver age sales were forty or fifty dozen a day, but that Sunday was rush time as about 100 dozen ears were dis posed of. The idea was imported from New York where the sales are large and profitable.
 The equipment for preparing the corn consists of a boiler, about two and one-half feet high and the diam eter about two feet The boiler has two compartments and will hold many dozens of ears of corn. The heat is furnished by a charcoal fire underneath the boiler. As the article sold is not only pleasant to the taste but substantial article of food there is little doubt that the proprietors of the "steamers" will continue to do rushing business as long as their product continues to grow.

THREE ARE KILLED
AND MANY INJURED
Fatal Collision Of Pennsylvania
Elevated.
THE WREcKAGE is SET on FIRE.
Prompt Action Of the Camden Fire
Department in Extinguishing the
Flames and Splendid Rescue Work of
the UniDjured Passengers Prevents
Further Casualties.

Camden, N J. Especial =. Three
persons were killed and 1S injured
in collision on the elevated tracks
of the Pennsylvania Railroad just
outside the station here, when a
Pemberton accommodated train ran
into the rear of an Atlantic City ex-
press.
ALI those killed or injured were
passengers in the first car of the
Pamberton accommodation Both
trains were due in Camden Station
at 8.31, the Atlantic City Express
having precedence. The fog was SO
thick that the engineers of the two
trains were running cautiously, and
just outside the station the Atlantic
City train was signaled to stop.
The engineer of the Pemberton
train failed to see the Atlantic City
train in time to avoid collision, but
he instantly jammed his brakes down
hard when it doomed up through the
fog. The sudden jolt forced the ten
der of the Pemberton train into the
first car, wrecking 1t badly and either
killing or injuring everybody in the
coach.
The train, however, did not come
to full stop, but slid into the rear
of the Atlantic City Express, causing
the tender to still further telescope
the first car. The force Of the. col
lision was slight, and no one was in
jufed on the forward train.
Hot Goals from the wrecked loco
motive of the Pemberton train set
the wreckage on fire, and it was at
first feared that many of the injured
passengers who were pinioned under
the heavy twisted iron and wood
would be burned to death, but the
prompt action of the Camden FIRE de-
partment in extinguishing the flames
and the efficient rescue work of the
uninjured passengers undoubtedly
saved many lives. Several of the
injured may die.

BARS SECRET WEDDINGS.
Couples In New York Must New Get
A License.

New York (SpeciaD Hitherto it
has not been necessary for couples
to secure a marriage license in order
to be married in this state. Begin
ming with the New Year the new law
suggested and approved by Governor
Hughes will go into effect.
The new bureau for the issuance Of
licenses to persons to be married was
opened at the city clerks office, in
the city hall. The new law provides
that the intending bride and bride
groom shall appear at the bureau
and apply for the license, or AFFIDAVIT
to. marry as it is called. No mat
ter who the parties may be, rich or
poor, official or layman, they must
answer the questions put to them in
order to obtain the license. Then
they may go where they please to be
married
The corporation counsel delivered
an opinion that the city clerk might
issue licenses before the year 1908
began, when the law goes into effect,
so that those intending to be wed on
New Years Day might get their IL
censes ahead CT time.

THE IHLM DEFENSE
TO Be THE SAME
Insanity Plea Based On His Wfe's
Story.
SECOND TRIAL OF WHITES SLAYER
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw VIII Retell Her
Story to Jury in an kffort to Free
Husband Claim VIII Be Made That
Thaw ls Not Now Insane, but Was
Temporarily So at Time of Shooting.

New York Especial Harry X.
Thaw will be called second time
before jury, January 6, to make
his defense to the charge of having
murdered Stanford White, There
have been several postponements of
the date of the second hearing Of
this noted case, but 1t Is said now
there will be no further delay.
1t is announced that Mrs. FEaw,
mother of the defendant, is expected
in the city by Saturday. Mrs. Thaw
has been in poor health, it is said, but
believes she will be able to come on
to be with her son during the OPEN
ing hours of his second fight for life
and freedom. Other members of the
family circle, including Mrs George
Carnegie, Harry Thaw's sister, and
Josiah and Edward Thaw, his broth
ers, are also expected to reach the
city during the week and will remain
throughout the trial. The Countess
of Yarmouth, the defendants sister,
is at present in England and is not
expected to attend the second trial.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has
been a daily visitor at the Tombs ever
since the first ThaT jury disagreed,
will, of course, be one of the first ar
rivals in the courtroom on Monday
next.
There have been many rumors as
to the plans of the defense for the
second hearing of the case, and it
has been predicted that an entirely
new line of action might be followed.
1t can be authoritatively stated, how
ever, that the defense will again be
the same, that Evlyn Nesbit Thaw
will again relate her story to the
jury and that an imposing array of
expert alienists will again undertake
to establish the theory that Thaw was
insane at the time he killed Stanford
White In the Madison Square Roof
Garden, but has so far recovered his
mental balance since that time as
to be no longer a menace to the
community, and, therefore, is entitled
to freedom.
This theory was expounded at
length during the first trial, but after
the taking of much expert testimony,
and after lunacy commission had
declared Thaw sane at the present
time, the plea of temporary insan-
ity was practically abandoned in the
summing up speech of Dolphin M.
Delmas, the California attorney, who
made an almost direct appeal to the
so-called sunwritten law"
In the coming trial. it is declared,
there will be no mention made of a
higher or unwritten law, but the de-
Tense will adhere strictly to plea
of legal insanity at the time the act
was committed. There were mistakes
