 Norwalk. July 15-Falling from the truck of the Hartmann Brewing Com pany, of Bridgeport, on which he was riding, last evening, Thomas Hauxon, of Bridgeport, who for some time past has been working in Westport, with a squad of tree trimmers, was painfully injured and it is feared by the doctors now attending him that one and per- haps both of his legs are broken. The accident occurred at about o'clock as the injured man was starting for his home in Bridgeport after the days work. The details are most peculiar and interesting
 Hauxon met the truck which was in charge of a friend of his, and decided to auto to Bridgeport instead of going by trolley. He took his seat with the driver and was enjoying the ride when he decided. to have a smoke He was informed that a paper of tobacco was under the cushion on the seat, and raising himself little, he attempted to get it. Whether the man caught the cushion and pulled it with too quick a jerk or not is unknown, but the seat mat gave suddenly and the man lost his balance and fell forward to the road. The driver could not stop and the mans legs were run over. He refused the aid of a doctor and was taken to Bridgeport to be treat ed. It was stated this morning that he was suffering greatly and probably both legs are broken

German Day
 Celebration Near

Delegations from practically every city in the state and a great many of the towns are coming to Bridgeport next Monday to take part in the festi- vities of the German Day celebration at Steeplechase Island The Central Verbands of New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, Meriden, New Britain, Danbury, Norwalk, South Norwalk, and Stamford have notified the local committee that a great many of the members and their families will be made of members of German sing ing societies from various parts of the State.
 The reception committee will meet the visitors on incoming trains and direct them to the island where plans have been made for their entertain ment. Clemens Kloefkorn was in Danbury last night at meeting of the Danbury Central Verband from which delegation of several hundred will come here next Monday by spe- cial train.
 The Germans have taken over the entire Island for the day and are recommending the combination ticket which is good for admission to the island and twenty-five attractions in cluding a dance. This ticket is also good for the Roller Coaster, the Mys- terious River. the Airship swings, the Ferris Wheel and the Pavilion of Fun with its many attractions.
 Those who want can purchase the regular admission ticket alone at the usual price, but far more value is given with the combination ticket. Monday gives every promise of being one of the liveliest days in the his tory of Steeplechase Island, and from noon until midnight on that day there will be something going on in every section of the island all the time.
 Two years ago, when the last Ger man day festival was held over 10000 people visited the island and enjoyed the outing with the Germans.
 Final arrangements in regard to the details for the childrens summer carnival and other special events as well as the method of handling the crowds and conducting things were completed last night at the n'eeting of the Central Verbane

PATHETIC SCENE AS WIFE SAYS FAREWELL
 TO DYING HUSBAND

A most pathetic scene was enacted at St. Vincent's hospital, this morning when Mrs. Enrico Caputo was brought to the bedside of her dying husband to say farewell to him.
 Mrs. CaputO, who was wounded by Emilio de Martino, who shot her hus- band, was unable to rise from the lit ter on which she was carried into the hospital and brought to her husband s bedside She made an effort to reach him to kiss him but could not muster sufficient strength. Instead, husband and wife kissed each others hands, tears streaming down their faces.
 That coward shot us," said Caputo to his wife. T didn't think he would do it after all the kindnesses we have shown him. First he shot me and then he ran after you and shot you.
 'I know that I am going to die, but I pray to.God that you will recover. I wish to die without any ill feelings toward anyone, not even the man who shot us.''
 No reference was made by either in this parting scene, to Martino's infat- ution for Mrs. Caputo, and her al- legged return of his affection, as re- counted by the man who fired the murderous shots. The attitude of hus- band and wife was one of the sheer est affection toward each other, and neither spoke of Martino's attempts to come between them.
 Their three little children, Michael, aged 12; Tony, aged Il, and Mary, room and kissed their papa goodbye, sobbing bitterly.
 Take good care of the children. Goodbye, God bless you," were Capt. to's parting words, spoken in Italian, to his wife, when the hospital attend ants removed her from the room.
 As Caputo's strength seemed to be waning fast, Detective Captain George Arnold and Interpreter Louis RiESards were called to his bedside, in or.er to take his dying statement, and weave tighter net around Martino, the lit tie drug clerk who coolly states that ''the woman was the cause of all the trouble, and that he shot her for that reason, after having fatally wounded her husband.
 This morning a silver chain purse was found near the corner of Center street and Washington avenue, where MT. and Mrs. Caputo were shot down by Martino, Thursday night, as they were on their way to their home. Bridgeport hospital and her husband to St. Vincent's. When she learned this morning that her husband was in a dying condition she begged to be taken to the hospital to see him
 Although loath to permit the re- moval of a patient so seriously wound ed as Mrs. Caputo, the hospital au- thorities did not have the heart to refuse such request. The transfer ambulance was sent for, and Mrs. Caputo was placed upon it and car ried to St. Vincent's hospital where the parting interview took place.

New York, July 15-Prompt action of an automatic brake probably avert ed a subway horror, during the rush hours today. when William A. Stone. motorman of a southbound local train from Dyckman street. was cut to pieces beneath the swiftly moving wheels of the train he operated.
 When the train came to a stop, near the 1S1st street station, one of the guards went to the motorman box. It was empty. In searching TOT him. investigation showed that one of the cars had passed over the mo- torman's body. N'
 After a half hours delay, when an- other motorman was secured, the train resumed its journey downtown. many of the passengers not Knowing what had happened.
 When Stone took charge of the train at Dyckman street he appeared to be in the best of health, and as he had never complained . of felIing ill in his life the officials of the Interbor- ough are of the opinion that he lean- ed to far from his window, while probably examining the running gear of the train, lost his balance and fell to his death.
 AUTOMATIC BRAKE WORKS.
 Some time ago the Interborough
  tarins with a new automatic brake. which are applied when the motorman releases his hand from the controller. . As soon as Stone fell from the car the brakes were applied, the train stopping almost instantly.
 - Although the train had only made -ene stop after leaving the Dyckman Street station nearly every seat was occupied When the stop was made at 2 the 192nd street station the platform was we'll filled with people. When the signal was given Stone to go ahead the train started off as usual, first slowly and then with a rush.
 CONDUCTOR INVESTIGATES.
 It was just north of the 1S1st street station that the noise of the brakes was heard, the train coming to a stop so suddenly that many of the passengers were thrown from their seats. AS this is not an unusual oc- but after some minutes had passed and the train did not move the con- ductor went forward to investigate.
 Finding Stone was not in his ac- customed place he jumped down on the tracks, and still not finding him, started toward the rear of the train shouting his name. He had not gone far before he discovered the mang- led body of the motorman. Calling for help. he telephoned for another motorman, and after a half hours delay traffic was resumed.
 Stone lived at No. 2S1 FiftyFifth street, Brooklyn.
