 '.To Our Out of Town Guests
 To those who are planning how to entertain their out of town guests dur ing the present week we would sug- gest that your plans be made so as to enjoy one of those very pleasant Matinee Excursions that is given daily on the Steamer Park City to Port Jefferson, Long Island. The sail is an inviSorating one and the change of scene from one of activity in busy Bridgeport to that of the simple and long-lfe of our neighbors just across the Sound makes this trip worth while. A half days outing such as this with three hours sail on the sound will leave a lasting impression with your guest and pleasant mem Ories of their visit with you. We would also draw your attention to the fact that children are ever welcome on these Matinee Excursions as evi- dence of same, the fare for the grown ups under twelve years of age is just half the regular rate. All children un- der five go free.

SIGNAL TICKER
 AvERTS WRECK
Stops New Haven Express with Broken Axle on
 Greenwich Curve

Greenwich, Aug. 21-Joe Sheriden of Port Chester, operator in the New Haven railroad tower just west of Greenwich station had a clear signal for train Saturday afternoon when as it approached he saw one car hang ing low on the rail. He knew that an axle had broken and in an instant he flashed stop signal. It was the first section, consisting of thirteen passenger coaches, of the ? o'clock Boston Express, via Springfield, from New York, which on Saturdays, is an express to Stamford, not making it's usual stop at Greenwich. A hot box IS believed to have caused the breaking of the rear axle, which was on the fifth coach from the end The train was just about to take the curve at the identical spot where the White Mountain Express was wrecked few years ago.
 The conductor was in the car with the broken axle. It was filled with women, and as the train came to a standstill and the car bumped over the ties he had his hands full in pre- venting a panic. He did not know that the signalman had caused the stopping of the train. so he also had given the signal by bell to stop.
 The engineer, realizing that sud den stop on curve would buckle ms train and wreck it, with possibly heavy loss of life, used great discre- tion in stopping. and there was not person injured as a consequence. III . stantly flag was sent back for the second section, which was due in few minutes and the passengers left the train.
 A wrecker came from New Haven and placed a new truck under the broken car getting here in an hours time and finishing the job in half hour Meanwhile the forward part Of the train was disconnected from the broken car and switched on to an- other track, and motor from the Port Chester yards took the four rear cars back and then on to the main line again Hundreds of passengers there boarded the train again. Some took the trolley for Stamford.

AnS0nia Girl Has
 Three Husbands
 Rul No Divorce

Ansonia, Aug. 21-AIrs. Amelia Jen- nie Roberts of this city is A years old and, according to the allegations oi under way she has three husbands living. "She is much married wo- man." said Attorney Edward M. Swee- full is Mrs Amelia Jennie Wheeler Burbank TIbb bals Roberts
 Attorney Sweeney sent a deputy sheriff to this city, Saturday, to serve papers on Mrs. Roberts in an action for an annulment of her marriage to Kenneth Roberts, to whom she was married on June 10, 1908. MT. Rob- erts claims he married the woman be- cause he thought she was single, but has since learned, he says, that she has two other husbands living, one in Cheshire and the other in Oxford, and has never taken the trouble to secure a divorce from either
 The annulment case will probably be heard at the September term of the Superior court in Waterbury, as MT. Roberts is determined to get a legal separation from the woman as soon as possible
 T didn't know she was married be- fore,' MT. Roberts said, ''and when heard she had another husband liv- ing I was very much surprised. But when a little later I discovered that there was stilf another one who used to pay her rent and board, then I was fairly astOunded.''
 The Woman's name when she was single was Amelia Jennie Wheeler, and when she was Is years old, according to the evidence in the possession of Attorney Sweeney she became the wife of Ora J. Burbank, Of Oxford. The Oxford young man, it is alleged, took his young wife to a newly made home and there they lived until about two years later. Then, it is said, she became acquainted with Charles Tib- bals, of Cheshire, and was finally mar ried to him and went to live with him, leaving Burbank. TibbaIs, it is de- clared, did not know of husband No. 1. Next on her list of admirers, as Lawyer Sweeney tells the story, came Kenneth Roberts, of Ansonia. Not knowing that Mrs. Burbank -Tibbals was a married woman, he proposed He was accepted on the spot, he says They were married, and while living with her third husband her second Charles Tibbals, brought an- nulment proceedings, claiming that when he married her, she already had one husband living, Ora Burbank, of Oxford. The case was tried in the Superior court in Waterbury, and no decision was given. Some questions asked of Tibbals were not answered to the satisfaction of the court, so the case is still pending

ELKS' BAKE THURSDAY TO BE
 EXCEPTIONAL

B. P. O. E. No. 3S, in it's lifetime, has handled some pretty big affairs. and without exception every one of them has been a great success, but never within the memory of it's ''old- est'' members has there been great CT display of enthusiasm, in any of Its events, than has been occasioned by the coming clambake and field day which will be held at Steeplechase Is- land next Thursday. And the best part of it all is that the interest IS by no means confined to the member ship of the order, nor does it merely apply to the local situation. but to all parts of the State. Presente indica- . tions are that a monster crowd will partake Of the ''eats", and will in clude delegations from all parts of this and adjoining States. Derby. Norwalk. Stamford and New Haven will probably send the larger of the visiting bodies, while Waterbury, Mer- iden, New London and Plainfield, N. J.. are expected to be we'll represented. Quite a few of the out-of-town con- tingents will bring bands with them, and will wear a, distinctive form Of dress, thus adding to the pdcturesques- ness of the grand street parade which will precede the festivities at the is land
 4 special meeting of the local lodge was held at the Elks Home, last even ing. and was largely attended. Final preparations were made for the bake, and a committee to receive and look out for the visiting Elks was appoint ed. Reports from the various com mittees direstjng tbei sxeseises of the day were rendered, and they were of a character as to show that the prep A-Rtions for the bake were made in a most thorough and systematic man ner. Particularly interesting was the report from the committee in charge of the entertainment. They will sub init a program 9f unrsuaH E ella borate- ness. and one which cannot fail to fn- tkrest and amuse the most critical pleasure seeker. A number of fea- lures, of original conception, will be displayed, and it is anticipated that they will create no little surprise. The sports committee have arranged number of interesting athletic and fun giving events, and for which a host of contestants have sent in their en- tries. The prize waltz, which will be held in the Steeplechase ball room at night, will also attract a great field of candidates, and it is expected that the leading dance artists of the State

JAPANESE TIDBITS.
FiIIet of Raw Fish, Whales and Ries
 Loeusts Among Then1.

FiIIet of Raw Fish, Whales and Ries
 Loeusts Among Them.
 One of the great food delic1cies of Japan is. sashimi. a flIet of raw fsb served with soy and condiments. This dish, though highly recommended by both Japanese and European medical authorities. is pronounced queer or un- civilized by those not born to the GUS tom of eating it.
 When these critics are reminded. however, of their eating live oysters with gusto it occurs to them. says the Oriental Review. that the one is at least more artistic in appearance than the other. though both may be equally palatabIe and nutritious.
 1t is likely that very few English people know that the fisher folk along the Devonshire coast are accustomed to eat layer, an edible seaweed, and so think it very odd that the Japanese should use certain sea weeds as an ar- ticles of diet.
 Ferns. burdock roots. lily buds. To- tus roots and bamboo sprouts are among the Japanese vegetables not en- joyed by occidental peoples. while the chrysalis of the silkworm, rice Iocusts. the octopus. whales and sea siugs eaten in some parts Of China and Japan are sure to shock their fine sensibiIi- ties.
 And yet the most civilized epicures relish snails and frogs legs. which are just as odd in their way as those varie- ties of animal food mentioned above. Sharks fin soup. edible birds nest and lime cured eggs are farfamed Chinese luxuries. the last item of which is equal to the strongest animated cheese in it's power over the olfactory nerves
