MINISTER ovERsLEPT.
Rev. c. s. Bullock, Who Impersonated
 Fulton, Missed His Train.

The Rev MT Bullock of Stratford, came very near on Saturday morning not appearing in the Hudson Fulton celebration in New York, as the. inn personator of Fulton, and thereby hangs a tale. In order to make con- nection with the programme he was to have taken an early train from Stratford. He slept over, and if it had not been for the alertness of the hack man from MT. Wakeley's livery sta- ble, who had been engaged to take the minister from his house to the station, that Hudson-F Fulton celebra- tion would have been held up few hours, at least. pending the arrival of one of the principal actors therein.
 The hackman found the pastor fast asleep and had to thump long and hard on the door to awaken him. When he got up the minister found that he had just four minutes to get to the station, five blocks away. He dressed as sparingly as time would allow, putting on a rain coat, pair of shoes and a very disturbed look. His daughter. who was to imperson- ate one of the historical figures in the celebration. was also in such hurry to get to the train that she, too. had no time to make very elaborate toi- let.
 They got to the train just in time and dressed for their appearance in New York in the baggage car.

Hartford Is in Earnest.

The movement which has bean started by the board of trade for the erection of a new railroad station in Hartford is not a grand stand play. It is thoroughly in earnest and is prompted by a recognized need
 The present structure, first occupied in 1889, is an offense against convent ence and against art Its arrange ments are so complex that a stranger has difficulty in finding his train, and even residents of Hartford often get confused in trying to master the in- tricacies of the building. Architectur- ally unattractive. 1t is also inadequate and ll-contrived. When the structure was put up, the railroad situation in Hartford was wholly different from what it is now The old New York and New England line, with it's ups and downs, hadn't been taken over by the New Haven system and was in- dulging in feeble competition. The Central New England was wholly tn- dependent of New Haven. and between the big road and the little one no love was lost. There were three railroad stations then. there is one now.
 The volume of passenger traffic which begins and ends in Hartford or which changes cars here is immense and constantly growing. Many cities, much smaller, have much better sta tion accommodations. Hartford is entitled to a station which would not only minister to the convenience and beauty of the city but which would also be a credit to the New Haven railroad A recognition of the present unsatisfactory facilities and of the inn portance of Hartford as railroad center will, as we think and hope. induce President Mellen to give an attentive aud sympathetic ear when the matter in question is formally sub mitted to him.-Hartford Times.

WONDERFUL CORN.
Waterford Farmers Also Boast of
 Big Potato Yield.

On the Lamphere farm at West Neck, says a Waterford item in the New London Day, corn can be found that stands 13 feet high, with two ears of corn to the stalk and the length of the ears 22 inches long and 27 rows of corn around the ear, the diameter of the ear being about four and one half inches. This is not one stalk, but many can be found in the field and the corn is not an especially large kind of western corn that is largely used for silos, but is an eastern vari- ety.
 At Stony Brook farm, at Cswegatch- ie, the farm hands are busy just now in digging an unusually large crop of potatoes. some of which surpass the usual size. An example of the crop can be seen by the following: In dig ging 12 hills of potatoes Is potatoes were picked up that weighed exactly 15 pounds and they exactly filled a half bushel measure. This is not the size of the potatoes in the crop throughout, but they are all of good size, there being few potatoes in the crop that will have to be thrown to the pigs to eat.

Torrington, Sept. 2s. Attorney Thomas J. Wall was arrested here this morning on charge of assault as a squel to his attack on Dr. Elias Pratt, member of the republican state central committee, yesterday after noon. Attorney Wall will be given a hearing in the borough court tomor- row morning.
 The case has grown out of an ex- treme bitterness between the two men which has existed for several years. Attorney Wall has been one of the leaders of faction in the republican party.

An Opinion.

If the men and women who go whizzing about the country in power full automobiles, late at night. were wise and good. their adventures would not be so disastrous. The fact is that few of them are good and none of them wise. The automobile seems to have originated new species of in- sanity among many persons. They go speeding along the roads in the watch es of the night when good people are asleep. except belated travellers, and woe to the wayfarer whom they fall upon. He may as well say his prayers and prepare for his end. There is only one way to deal with these dan gerous lunatics. They should be kept off the road. Speed laws are useless, for they will not obey them- The sole recourse is to order them to stay at home and, if they are caught at large. without reasonable explanations, to lock them up. A strict curfew ordi- nance for joy riders Is what we need. They ought not to be allowed on the highways after dark, or midnight at latest.-Portland Oregonian.
