FELL UNDER COAL CART.
Driver scofeh Had Three Ribs
 Broken To-day.

While loading his coal cart in the yards of the Waterbury Lumber and Coal Co this morning. Howard Sco- field, a driver, was badly hurt. In some unaccountable way he fell un- der the cart and then the cart was pushed forward before Scofeld had time to get out of the way of dam ger. In consequence the wheels of the cart passed completely over his body. breaking three ribs in his right side. He was taken to the office of Dr Galley and there attended to. It will be some time before he can resume work.

THE LIST GROWS
ABoIher Member of a Prominent Family Receives Fatal h.
 jury in Auto Accident.

Providence, R. l., Aug 12.-Joshua M. Sears, the young Boston million aire, who was fatally hurt in an au- tomobile accident shortly after mid night last night between Apponaug and Norwood, died at the Rhode Is- land hospital to-day. He did not re- cover consciousness from the time of the accident until death came. The body was taken in charge by a local undertaking firm pending advices from the young mans relatives who are abroad, but who have been noti- fled of his demise.
 Providence, R. l., Aug 12.--J. Montgomery Sears, member of one of the most prominent families oi Boston, was probably fatally injured and George Saunders, his chauffeur. was severely hurt in an automobile accident on the Apponaug road, about five miles from here, early to, day. =5
 The car was being driven at a speed of about 50 miles an hour. At the point where the accident oc- cured there is sharp curve. AS the road is lonely one and the men had to rely wholly on their own lights it is presumed they came upon it unexpectedly and in att tempting to round it at the high speed, one of the front wheels of the machine broke down, the tire burst and the car plunged over an embankment.
 Another automobile, containing A. Albert Sack, Jr, and Charles Webster of Providence, happened to be in the vicinity at the time, and hearing the explosion of the tire and the groans of the men they rushed tAeir car to the scene of the accident, where they found Sears and Saunders unconscious on the ground, with their automobile iI flames. They took the injured men in their car to the Norwood house and from there they were taken in an ambulance to the Rhode Island hospital in this city.
 As Noo Aouhd db bhS hOoPlldl lhdl MT Sears was suffering from a frac- ture of the skull, fractured trachea and internal injuries. An operation was immediately performed but the doctors stated that they held but slight hopes of his recovery. Saun- ders sustained two fractures of the leg and will recover.
 J. Montgomery Sears is a son Of the late J. Montgomery Sears, and is 30 years old. He is lawyer anG member of the Massachusetts democratic state committee. The Rhode Island hospital officials tried to inform his family of the acci- dent by telephone but found that they are now travelling in Europe.
 Saunders is 36 years old and lives at 149 Friendship street, this city.

iss, of the Corrisan- Condor Western

At pretty near life's close one Of the
most unique characters Of the world
has realized an ambition which he has
cherished. the opening of the new Ar
cadia race course. Arcadia, Cal. by
Lucky" Baldwin. and as he says, II
desire no other monument" In one Of
the prettiest spots on his famous
ranch he built his track. and the
beauty of its surroundings makes one
marvel. 1t is Baldwin's track on Bald
wins ranch in Badwin's town. for the
little city of Arcadia is Baldwin's own
creation. and he controls 1t the same
as his own household.
For more than twenty-five years
Baldwin cherished the hope that he
would live to see Il modern race track
upon his vast domain. Many times he
laid his plans, but circumstances
arose which caused them to be aban-
doued. Financial reverses came, and
during the years which followed Bald

amounts sufficient to have capitalized
many banks. When with the recent
years of great national prosperity the
tide of his fortunes turned. he again
revived the plans for his track.
Four years ago his arrangements
were virtually completed and he an
nounced that he would build a track.
but opposition developed in an unex-
pected quarter, and Ascot was opened.
When the extension of the municipal
boundaries of the city of Los Angeles
put Ascot out Of business, Baldwin
took advantage Of the situation. The

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.

Of the butterfly's wing. The artist is
the divine angler who fishes out these
harmonies revealing somewhat Of the
wqpdrous beauty and mystery Of ma

time scientifically that there Is no fixed
color whatever. that objects have no
color of their own. but solely that
which is impaired to them by the re-
Election of the sky and the enveloping
atmosphere.
Color photography also shows that
the line. as drawing defines it. Is an
error. an artificial means Of determin
ing forms. that everything in nature is
a succession Of perspective planes and
surfaces which join on to one another.
that nothing is abruptly terminated by
contour and that the vibrations
Of the atmosphere envelop everything
and obiIerate the contours which the
weakness of our mind is constrained to
create. In word. color photography

horsemen of the country that racing
could be made to pay in the southern
end Of the state, and when Baldwin
sought financial backing there was an
instant response. The Baldwin racing
association was organized and work
begun. Baldwin knew just what he
wanted and was given free rein in the
matter Of details. In one of the pref
test spots on his famous ranch he has
built track which is the marvel Of
all who have visited it.
Edward Corrigan, the master mind
of the American Turf association, is
now said to be in absolute control Of
racing at New Orleans and throughout
the west. The master Of Hawthorne"
who has never backed out Of a fight.
has forced the Western Jockey club.
which is owned by the Celia combina-
ton, into the background.
This startling announcement was
made by Colonel Renaud, who is allied
with the Cellas Of St. Louis and who
said recently that the license and
jockey fees were held up by the Amer
lean Turf association. which is under
the control Of Corrigan, whereas the
racing at the fair grounds. New Or
2eans, is supposed to be under the
Western Jockey club rules.
This finish is elimination Of bat
tie Of years between Corrigan and
blind John Condor. 1t dates back to
Chicago when racing was at its height.
Ccrrigan, who owned the south side
track. ordered Condor to close his pool
rooms during the meeting at that
course but the blind gambler refused
to comply with the request. This en-
gendered bitter enmity between the
pair.
To get even with Corrigan. Condor
bought Garfield park and ran it as a
rival. Corrigan entered several Of his
horses in the first stake event run at
the course, termed the Garfield Park
Derby, and he and his friends lost
100000 on colossal plunge. The
fight between the pair was the real
cause of the death Of racing in Chi
cago. The fight then sought New Or
leans as battle-ground. Corrigan built
the City park track in opposition to
Coudon's Crescent City course. and
both ran rival meetings
The loss to both was so tremendous
that friends of both sides managed to
arrange an agreement between the ri
walls to race alternately. This season
everything was supposed to be run
ming very smoothly, although the Off
cials that were appointed to run both
tracks We're known to be favorable to
Corrigans interests. In the minds Of
most horsemen Corrigan is somewhat
OF h menace to the good interests Of
the turf. and this move may cause the
end OF racing at the Crescent City.
