the Insane Hospital of Waterbury

siderable excitement and reward

B. F. Whelden. a Ludlow plumber,
and B. Steinfield, junk dealer of
Claremont, N. H., met with a seri-
Gus accident in Ludlow, Dec. II,
when a gasolene tank exploded. Both
men are in serious condition. Just
what caused the explosion is not de-
finitely known, but it is supposed a
torch used by the men communicat-
ed with the 'unsuspected contents OF
the tank. The sheds caught fire but
they were not damaged to great
extent.
The second serious railroad acct
dent within two weeks occurred in
St. Adams. when H. w. Hudson was

sary to amputate the right leg. He

ped and is doing a cooperative bust
ness and it should, therefore, be
made the unit for consideration. The
establishment of cooperative ex-
changes should be under the aus
pieces of the Grange, although We
would not recommend that unaff1li-
ated farmers be excluded from mem
bership. A state cooperative corpor-
alton should be formed so that the
organized farmer may compete with
those corporations who exploit the
farmer and make possible the pur-
chasing of those things all farmers
use without the unnecessary tribute
to useless middlemen. Cooperation
in marketing, and improvement of
the methods of distribution through
cooperation, will do more than any
thing else in solving the absorbing
question of the high cost of living,
and in this work we should seek
and obtain, the cooperation of other
organizations whose members con-
sumo that which we produce. The
possibilities of this great subject are
without limit, and there rests upon
this body a responsibility of magni-
tude at this time.

Lafayette's Body Guard.
Deputy Secretary of State Raw
son Myrick and Arthur Theriault,
who are making card index records
of the births, deaths and marriages,
have found an interesting notation
in the returns from Wallingford,
which stated that on November l.,
1857, there died in that town, 'Jer-
athiel Doty, aged SO, months and
IL days, one of Lafayette's body
guard home to France, wounded by
ball through a vertabra of the
loins on a privateer off the coast of
Maine. Last Revolutionary patriot
of the country" A glance through
Hemenway's history of Wallingford
fails to find any mention of him, al
though it would appear that he per-
formed a distinguished service.

TURNED MATTERN DOWN.
Frank Chance Passed Up Opportunity
To Get Southpaw.

Chicago, June Gone more sur
prising angle of that big deal between
the cubs and the Doves has just be-
como public when il was learned that
Manager Chance had an opportunity
of getting Mattcrn, the Dove south
paw, and turned it down.
Mattcrn was the man whom Chance
wanted last winter above all other
left handlers i'm the National league.
Hith the exception of Nap Rucker.
Just the same when President Russell
and Manager Tenney wanted To in
clude him in the big deal the peerless
leader baked.
or Courcc Chance couldn't have Sc
cured the four men he did get and
Mattcrn In addition for the four men
he gave. But he could have had Mat
tern I'm place of Good or Mattcrn i'm
place of Graham, or Mattcrn in place
Of Collins and Curtis. or lac might
have had Mattern by including one of
the West side stars i'm the deal. But
Chance couldn't see Mattern in that
brilliant light and turned down the
offer.
Which would indicate that he is not
as eager 10 get a southpaw on his
pitching stan as some Of the fans be-
licvc. OF course, Chance wants one.
James Murphy, brother of President
Murphy and George Hun the chief
scout OF the West Side team. are beat

league game scheduled for Saturday
or Sunday, but will meet the Mohawk
team at the Calumet Athletic park in

team is leading the league, the game
is one of the best that could posi-
bly, be secured. St George probably
viii pitch for Mohawk and either Rem
wick or Hiltoncn viii he on the slab
for Calumet. Possible both men will
work in the game. otherwise the line
up of the team will be practically the
same as i'm other games. Mohawk has
only been beaten once this season. the
Calumet team having the honor of that
victory, but in an exhibition game be
fore the opening of the league season.
Mohawk won by a close score.
The Hurontown team will play at
Mohawk Sunday and the Hubbel and
Hancock teams will clash at Hancock.
u is possible that the result of the first
mentioned game viii again place Calu-
met in running for first place.

duled for Saturday. as follows:
