FIVE BREAKS IN LEG. Motorcyclistss Collision With Auto
 Proves Serious One.

Derby, July 31-While enjoying a motor cycle ride on the road between Seymour and Beacon Falls Sunday afternoon, Walter Myers collided with the automobile of James B. Brinsmade of Derby and Myers is now in the Waterbury hospital in critical con- dition The accident occurred close to the tracks of the Connecticut com pany, which follows the road between the two towns. Myers was headed to- wards Seymour, while the auto was on it's way north. As the two ap- preached each other a trolley car was passing. It is said that Brinsmade shut off the power on the auto and that Myers seemed to lose control of the motorcycle. The latter machine crashed into the auto with consider able force. Myers being thrown to the ground.
 He was in a semi-conscious condi- tion and examination resulted in f1nd- ing that one of his legs was fractur- ed in five places. It was thought, too. that he sustained internal injuries and he was hurried at once to Water bury. The auto was damaged in front With Mr. Brinsmade in the car were his parents. MT. and Mrs. James R.

Death Claims
 Blind Motorman TrOlleymen Contributed Their Mites Each Week to Support Him and Family For Six
 Years

New Haven, July 31-After six years of blindness, Courtney Piggott, who has been a pensioner of his former comrades ever since he lost his sight while driving a trolley car as motor man in 1905, died last night, following a lingering illness. Piggott and his family, consisting of wife and chil- dren, would have been practically des- titute were it not for the loyalty and stuck by him throughout his misfor- years have dropped into a box in the
 Piggott felt his handicap of blind ness seriously and never once since he lost his sight has he fully regained his old vigor. His death was due to general decline of health, which started when he finally gave. up all hope of ever seeing again, rather than to ony specific disease.
 Piggott's case was a pathetic one and at the time he lost his sight, it oceasioned lot of comment. His blindness was caused by the exposure of his eyes to the wind and dust, while driving his car. Piggott was a man about g years of age.
 While the amount that each troll leyman contributed weekly to Pig gott's support was not large, the total amounted to as much as if he was still at work at the front of his car. It is not known just what will be done now that he is dead, but it is certain that his family will not be allowed to want for anything

GIRL ASLEEP FOR 1O5 DAYS.
Awakes For Five Hours and Eats
 Three Hearty Meals.

Chicago, July 31-Haze1 Schmidt, the young woman of Vandalia, H., who has slept almost continuously for 1O5 days, arousing the interest of physi- clans in the Middle West, awoke for five hours yesterday and after eating three hearty meals immediately fell into a deep sleep again.
 Dad, bring me a glass of water" |" was the first intimation that George A. Schmidt received that his daughter was awake.
 ''The meals in dreamland are not very satisfying" said the young wom- an as she felt the bangs of hunger an hour later, and sat down to a second meal Another hour passed, and the girls appetite not being satisfied she sat down to third meal, and cleaned up the dishes quicker than Jack Spratt or his wife would have done.
 ''I'm tired,' said the girl a few minutes later. T fell fine, but I'm very sleepy and guess I'll go back to bed if you don't mind. Maybe in a few days I'll be able to keep awake all day just as I used to-
 Her words trailed into a yawn, and she fell back on the bed fast asleep.

MoRGAN's FEW FRIENDS.
Worthy People That He Meets Out
 side of Business.

It is said there are scarcely fifty men in the financial district who have a speaking acquaintance with J. P. Morgan. Whether the number is cor rect or not it is certain that his ac- quaintance is relatively small, and that his real friendships are reserved for very few people, chiefly the men whom he has known all his life and with whom he is very likely not as- sociated at all in a business way. His dislike of having a meaningless fuss made over him by strangers is shown by his never appearing at public meet ings. and by his perennial irritation at the never-say-die reporters and camera men who unfailingly close in upon him when he is sailing or re- turning from across the water. In London he insists upon not being mo- ticed when he comes in or leaves his office, and has stopped the custom of showering him with deferential bows which was long clung to by his em- ployes. When he drives up to his house or his office in New York he is out of his cab or automobile and in to the building in two strides, swift and purposeful. Anyone who hoped to intercept him would carry away nothing from the attempt but the mental impression of the financier' S air of extraordinary vigor and the recollection of the intent and pierc- ing expression of his eyes, fixed straight before him.-From ''The Life Story of J. Pierpont Morgan'' in the August Metropolitan Magazine

WHAT is CHRISTIAN SClENCE2
Amendment to Papers In Suit VIII
Bring Question Before Courts
to BE Decided.

BOSTON. April u.-An amendment which
is likely to bring the question Of what the
Christian Science religion is squarely be-
fore the courts is TO be made TO the papers
in the suit brought in New Hampshire. by
the son and adopted son OF Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy against the executor OF her
viii and officers OF the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, OF Boston.
Former United States Senator William
f. Chandler, chief council for the lplain-
lifts, today announced he will fight an
amendment attacking the validity Of the
residuary clause as uncertain" Mr.
Chandler said the ground to be taken
would be that whereas Mrs. Eddy left her
property for the promotion OF the Christian
Science religion no one knows exactly
what the Christian Science religion is, 80
that unless this matter is determined by
the courts the residuary clause is void
because OF uncertainty.
A hearing is expected next week.
