Heavy Rains Damage Some Crops.

The growers of scarlet clover for hay
has had bad time Of it this year, and
it has been a serious matter to them,
The clover requires more time than the
old fashioned clovers, and when the
rains commenced, nearly all the hay
had been cut and was curing on the
ground. The rains and close damp
weather which has followed, has caused
the hay to rot and is almost total loss.
The rain wsh fine thing for the pea
crop, but it will require dry weather the
balance Of the period Of wheat ripening,
that good yield of wheat may be as
sured rains of heavy nature will
wash of the blossoms Of the wheat and
prevent the grain fertilizing.

BODY AT LAST IDENTIFIED.
Man Killed Here By Waterbury Trol-
 lev and Buried in Trinity.

Seymour, Dec 29.-The remains of the man who was killed recently by a south bound Waterbury trolley car, near the S. G. Warrin place, has been identified by relatives. He was Di- nitro Iaraw of Ansonia, a man of Polish or Lithuanian birth The clothes, which the man wore were first identified and yesterday casket containing the body, which had been buried in Trinity cemetery, was opened and a brother made the iden- titication positive.
 Zaraw was struck down by the car and received fracture at the base of the skull. He was taken to An sonia on the trolley car and Dr r. c. Goldstein and Dr l.. E. Cooper at tended him at Dr Goldstein's office The man never regained conscious ness and was taken to Grace hospi- tai, suffering hemorrhages, which re- suited in his death on the afternoon following the accident.
 The remains were unclaimed, and for time there was no evidence al to the mans identity. In accordance with the law in such cases the body was brought to Seymour and buried here at the expense of the town. The body was taken to Derby yesterday and reinterred in the Greek Catholic cemetery in that place. The pastor of the Greek church on May street, Ansonia, read services at the grave, and the w. l.. Ward Co of this place was in charge.

ONLY ONE APPLICANT.
From Waterbury for Position in Gen.
 eral Assembly.

There is something the matter with the politicians of the republican party, for there is only one candi- date from this city for a job in the coming general assembly. He is Frank D. Pagan, who was door keep CT in the lower house in the last legislature. MT Pagan now aspires to the position of messenger in the senate, which is step or two higher than door keeper in the house. This Is probably the most remarkable state of politics that was ever experienced in the Brass city. From other parts of the state which are not so staunch- ly republican in state matters as this vicinity there is no dearth of Candi- dates, two for every position. It is not believed, however, that Water bury will have only one candidate for job in the legislature when the time comes to get there. Owing to the state of business in the shops here it is expected that there will be quite number of them. and that already there are a few working un- der the surface of things,
 Mir Pagan made a good man at his old position as door keeper and if the usual political conditions in the as- sembly are adhered to he will get the place he is now looking after without any bother The position lasts dur ing the lifetime of the assembly, us- ually about five or six months.

MRS TAFT'S SOCIAL SECRETARY.
Widow of Connecticut Man Said to
 Have Secured the Honor.

Hartford, Rec. PA special dis patch from Washington announces that it is reported there that Mrs Eleanor Relyea, clerk in the office of the war department, widow of AL bert Relyea of this state and an in innate friend of Mrs and the late General Joseph R. Hawiey, will be Mrs Taft's social secretary. Mrs Reylea says that she knows nothing about the matter. IL is also said that Mrs Hawley recommended her.
 Mrs Hawley said last evening that the selection by Mrs Taft of Mrs Relyea would be a splendid one if it were made but that she had not recommended Mrs Relyea, though she may have spoken of her to Mrs Taft. She said that Mrs Relyea went to Washington as stenograph- CT in the war department and that she later married MT Relyea, who finally lost his mind and died sud denly. His widow then secured her old place in the war department and had received several promotions since. She would, Mrs HAwley said. prove admirably fitted for her work if she is chosen. Mir Relyea former ly lived at Greens Farms and Mrs Relyea has Connecticut affiliations,

ST PATRICK'S CHURCH
Pictures of faiber Cleeson and Father DUggau Iu Windows.

The late Rev John II. Duggan of St Patrlck's church is being remem- bered by the Rev Joseph NJ. Gleesop who took up the work where Father Duggan laid 1t down and pushed 1t to completion. This is evidenced in many ways, but perhaps in none more so although many may not have noticed 1t, than in the hand some picture of the former pastor iii the foil on top of the first window at the gospel side of the church. The greater portion of the stained glass in the window Is devoted to a representation of the captivity of St Patrick at Brittany, a great artistic triumph, but high above all the fa- miliar features of Father Duggan, who In his day and time was very much in evidence in all things per taining to the public good, stands out very prominently. It was taken from likeness which shows Father Duggan when he was much younger than when he came to Waterbury, but notwithstanding this, the picture is an excellent one. Father Gleeson took this means of remembering the first pastor of the parish, and across the way in the foil of the first win dow on the epistle side of the church, representing the death bed scene of St Patrick. the present pas tor, Father Gleeson, is similarly remembered. All other persons rep resented in the paintings on the win dows were co-workers with St Pat rick

WAS A DRAWN BATTLE.
Report of Committee in the Norwalk
 Liuuor Cases,

South Norwalk, Dec 29-Absolute- ly eXhonerating John J. Walsh, cen surfing John KeOgh and severely cen surfing William o. Clark, the finding of the grievance committee of the Fairfield County Bar association fol- lowing their investigation of charges made against the three when they were N0rwalk corporation counsel. South Norwalk corporation counsel and liquor prosecutor, respectively, by the ministers of the county, was made public yesterday.
 The charges against the liquor prosecutor and two corporation coun- sells were the outcome of the Lemon gelli liquor license case over which the Ministers association put up such bitter fight. The decision of the bar association yesterday is consid- cred partial victory for the minis ters in that two of the objects of their attack are censured, but the minis ters had hoped to have some of them disbarred. Their attack on Walsh was the cause of his alleged wholesale libel. and islander suits, which it is said he is bringing against many prominent ministers and reformers here.
 The report censures Keogh for not having investigated the Rhode Lemongelli lease carefully enough. It further states, however. that the grievance committee considers there was no intention of wrong doing Clark. the then liquor prosecutor. is severely censured for not having talk en up the whole matter. The charges against Walsh are dropped.
 The committees report states that States Attorney Judson was consult ed before the finding was made.

MISS RYAN'S DEATH
FaIher and Mother Aller Money
 Trolley Company Paid.

Because Mrs Johanna Crough, alias Grove, charged $500 for her services as administratrix on the es- tate of her niece, Miss Sarah Ryan, who was killed In the trolley disaster on West Main street year ago No- vember 29, and charged another Sb00 for having the ante-burial ser vices conducted in her house, Miss Ryan's father and mother, John and Margaret Ryan of Carhow, Tipper- ary, Ireland, have taken an appeal from the probate court to the su- perior court. A few days after this accident, which cost five people their lives and injured quite a number, the company offered to settle each case of instantaneous death for $4 1000. Miss Ryan's- folks In Ireland upon hearing of the death of their daugh- ter got into communication with At torney James M. Lynch, and he in- formed them of the railroad com pany's offer. Mrs Crough, 1t seems. communicated with the Ryans in Ireland and told them that MT Lynch as we'll as Attorneys N. R. Bronson and l.. l.. Lewis, who were also com municated with about the matter, were lawyers for the railroad com. pany and advised having nothing to do with them And the Ryans, not knowing different, ceased communi' cation with Messrs Bronson, Lewis and Lynch. After while Mrs Crough was appointed administrative on Miss Ryan's estate, which consist ed of practically nothing but this offer of the railroad company to set tie for this amount. Her account as administratrix shows that the funeral of Miss Ryan cost $176, that she charged for her services as adminis- tratriX $500 and the same amount for having her house used as the place where the last respects were paid to the dead girl.
 The account shows further that of the $4,000 received from the rail- road company about One-half was sent to the Ryans over the water, and this 1t is said went in two in- stallments. MT Ryan became wor- ried. So much so that he took a trip over, arriving in Waterbury a few weeks ago to satisfy himself about the situation. After being here a week he went back This morning MT Lynch received letter from the Ryans' counsel informing him to take the appeal from the or der of the probate court in approv- ing of Mrs Crough's administratrix S account, and what ever other steps MT Lynch may deem necessary.
 This may be the beginning of a great deal of law and other expense, for the dead girls estate has been distributed, and the administratrix so far as known has nothing on which judgment for damages could be recovered. A peculiar feature about the papers in the settlement of Mrs Ryan's estate is that the admin istratrix's name appears spelled in two different ways on different papers, Crough and Grove. This morning Judge Lowe after reading the papers prepared by Mir Lynch granted permission for an appeal and Mir Lynch furnished the usual bond. The appeal means. in a few words, that Mrs Crough will be called upon to explain how she expended almost $2,000 in settling an estate of S4,000.
