Meeting of Episcopal Clergy - A Snn. stroke -Autos in a Slough-A Cir. cular Letter July Library Report Baseball.

Yesterday at the residence of Rev. Dr. Guilbert. on Pequot avenue, in Southport, the Episcopal clergy of Fairfield county, held their regular monthly meeting, at which papers were read and discussed. The prin- cipal paper was written by Rev. Ken meth Mackenzie. Jr.. of Westport, on Socialism and the duty of the Chris tian church towards the movement. Rev. MT. Mackenzie having been ta- ken suddenly i'll, was unable to be present, and the paper was read by Rev. Wilbur F. Craft of Bridgeport Some of the clergy were of the opinion that the paper did not indicate enough work for the churches, or in other words failed to show how the Church could best and effectively guide and day. At noon the clergy adjourned to the chapel of the Trinity church, where a bountiful collation. had been prepared by the ladies of the parish. Rev. MT. French, who has been for AT years the rector of the church at Oar fen, presided and seated with him at the table were Rev. MT. Guilbert, Rev. Allen Beeman of Fairfield, Rev. MT. George of Noroton, Rev. Wilbur F. Craft of Bridgeport, and his father who is visiting him. and who is also a clergyman, Rev. Ernest R. Roy of Newtown, and MT. John H. Sherwood who is in his S4th year. The tables were served by a dozen ladies, all in white, among them Mrs. Conrad Buck ingham, but much praise was given to Mrs. Dr. Wells for the luncheon, which was very bountiful.

 BASE BALL NOTES.
 Accompanied by about rooters the Stars left Southport on the 12:45 train Sunday for Greenwich to play the team of that borough. Drew pitched a good game and John Carroll on 3rd played in fine form, making several good stops and throwing to first base in league style. He was the only Star to score run which was due to his eleven base running, he stealing 2nd and 3rd base, and scoring on a, scratch hit. Luke Whalen, a Fairfield boy, who conducts a lunch wagon at Green wich, played 3rd base on that team, and played it well. The score was, Greenwich 2, Fairfield 1.
 Next Sunday the Stars play the Lin coins on McGarry's grounds The strong Darien team which defeated the Greenwich IT to o.
 The Star Juniors played a double header on Sunday on Bulkley's grounds and won both of them by the following scores: Morning game, to 4; after noon game, 19 to 2. Bolan, their star pitcher, pitched for both games.

WRIGHT BROKE A WING.
Struck a Tree and Narrowly Escaped
Another Serious Accident.

Washington, July 3.-The Wright
aeroplane has made two more success
full flights The machine was on its
way around the Fort Myer drill
grounds for the ninth time in Its
second fight when the motor stopped,
sixty feet above the earth and exactly
in the same place where the pro-
peIIer blade broke last September
which resulted in the accident that
terminated the trials at that time. In
gliding to the earth the machine
struck a tree and was swerved around
with such force that the skids were
broken and the right wing badly
ripped. Mr.. Wright was not hurt.
The flights were the most successful
that Orville Wright has made at Fort
Myer since his return to complete
the government trials. On the first
attempt he few about the field IL
times in IL minutes and SO seconds,
and on the second he had gone
around eight and one-half times when
the flight was terminated by the mis-
hap. He had been in the air for
little more than eight minutes. Dur
ing both flights Mr.. Wright went
higher and faster than in the trials
of the two previous days. It was
estimated his speed was about 81
miles an hour on an average.
The glide, which covered distance
of perhaps 800 feet, was beautiful to
behold, but there were few among the
thousand spectators who did not fear
a repetition of last years accident.
OrvilIe and Wilbur inspected the
machine closely and said it would not
be ready for fight before Tuesday at
the earliest. because it would be
necessary to send to their Dayton
shop for cloth to repair the damage
to the planes.
"My motor stopped just as I was
over the aeropIane she'd" said Orville-
when you are over bushes and trees
you can't see their height and it was
due to a niscalculation on my part
that the wing hit the tree and swung
the machine around, causing it to land
sidewise on the skids. If it had not
been for the tree I would have landed

AT HORSESHOE BEND.
JacIson's victory Over the Indians in
1914 Is Celebrated.

Horseshoe Bend. Ala, July 3.-The
battle of Horseshoe Bend which in 1914
opened to the white man one of the
most fertile sections of the country, was
&C rnmemorated here today with speech
es and an old-fashioned barbecue, in
aAlgurating a movement for national
memorial Of the battlefield. This battle
was many of the stirring exploits of
hardy Tennesseeans in their memorial
campaigns against the Indians. On
March q, S14, the Creek Indians gath
cred in their fortified town of Toho-
pelza, in great numbers and opposed
the approach of 5000 whites, led by
General Jackson.
Artillery fire, assaults from in front
and rear, the burning of their village
and finally hand-to-hend encounter on
the Notifications. where 80 Tennessee
ans persisted, drove the Indians to cover.
It is proposed, through a commission
appointed by Governor Conner Of Ala
hama, to urge congress to set aside the
picturesque bend as a national park

a regular shell loaded with a ball in

went off unexpectedly but the bullet
was not lost for the little fellow got
it in the hand. DR.. Lottie cut out

pun,s Weekly Review

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-R @. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade tomorrow will say;
without exception the reports of trade, both
wholesale and retail, in all parts OF the coun-
try, are more than satisfactory and hold out
the promise for 1910 of year of an unequaled
business. What this means, expressed in al
most inconceivable figures is that the United
states Is increasing its wealth at a rate never
before achieved. Neither the high prevailing
prices nor the discussion of disputed economic
policies seem in any way to shake confidence
or check the industrial progress.
The remarkable progress in iron and steel
is maintained and in October all previous
records as to the amount of actual business
booked were surpassed.
In virtually every division orders are re-
ceived in heavy volume and many mills are
falling steadily behind in deliveries. Bookings
by the steel companies are especially large,
and some important contracts are pending.
There is a further large gain In the move-
ment of dry goods. The removal of restric-
tions in purchasing is particularly noticeable
in some of the larger retail centers.
Efforts are directed in worsted, cotton and
silk manufacturing centers to prevent accumu-
lation Of high cost goods not covered by con-
tracts.
The demand forfootwear shows further i'm
provement and the price question is less OF
a disturbing factor. Sole leather continues
in active demand and business is heavy.
Prices are strong for all lines. Packer hides
are very strong and In brisk demand at ex-
treme quotations. with considerable quanti-
ties sold In advance of take-off.

Pennsylvania Securities Including Con-

preston as Expression Of Un-

1Rx Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Steel fell into
the background In the stock specula-
tion today, and the volume of the
whole market suffered accordingly.
There was some shift of speculative
preference back to the old favorites,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and
Reading, but the market on the whole
relapsed into one of the specialties, and
was given over to somewhat erratic
movements.
The Pennsylvania securities, includ-
ing the stock and convertible bonds,
showed further depression as an ex-
preston of the unfavorable view taken
of the offerings of new stock at par
TO stockholders. The semi-annual divi-
dend of per cent came off of Pennsyl-
vania today, increasing the appearance
of depression.
The money market was tranquil but
the situation was the subject of active
discussion. From abroad came renewed
intimations of the possibility of an ad-
vance to per cent in the minimum dis
count rates both of the Bank of Eng
land and of the Imperial Bank of
Germany.
Foreign exchange rates yielded but
recovered briskly. Forecasts of the
weekly currency movement Indicated
oHiy IL SilRnL olISet 70 Itle loss III cash
on subtreasury operations. The net de-
cline in the cash holdings of the banks
for the week appears to be in the neigh
borhood of s3,500,000.
A good deal of talk was heard of
the supposed negotiations for a closer
combination OF the leading copper in
terests Amalgamated copper, however,
was freely supplied in spite of asser-
tions of the good quality of the buy
ing of the stock. The railroad equip
ment stocks offered an example of the
effects of profit-taking without any
change in the nature of the good trade
reports affecting those companies.
The exports of wheat flour included
for the week reached 5,397. .455 bushels,
an increase over last week of nearly
100000 bushels.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-weight Of receipts has
worked a stiff decline in the wheat market,
and with the falling of in the futures there
has been a corresponding drop In cash prem
iums, though the latter still above the
market. Spring wheat is 2hc over and hard
winter ~ The Nebraska shipments have
bf oxen the premiums on hard wheat more
sharply than the futures. So far there has
been let UP in the receipts and they are
running well above a year ago. By Monday
or Tuesday the attitude Of the farmer to the
price decline will be revealed in the receipts
and II there is a drop below last years vol
ume the market will be checked and a mod
crate rally follow. The decline has brought
us within 1hc OF an export basis with Europe
The exports this week we're over 100000 BUSH
els, principally Pacific coast grain and -four
from both coasts. The visible increase In the
week will be small despite the large receipts
and give added help to a rise should the re-
ceipts fall off The bear side is less promis-
ing though an advance will not be large from
the present outlook.
Corn traders are waiting on the government
report on Monday. The private reports have
all raised over the October figures Of 2.275, OOO,
0o0 which, naturally considering that the es-
Inmates are made a 32-bushei bssis. which
recent years have shown to be too small. II
the average yield an acre Ia proportionateiy
as large as last November the government is
liable to show 2,T00, 900 bushels. This ap-
proximates last years crop, and the farm
supplies Of over 100 900 900 will make the report
moderately bearlsh While the long view fav-
ors last years prices, the crop report may
break the market. Receipts Will not be as
heavy as a year ago, the crop in the big
states is too moist for shipment, and the
weather for two weeks has been unfavoraole
