Special to The Farmer.) <

Special to The FHarmer.)
 Fairfield, July S-There were others at the Greenfield HiM tragedy Thurs day evening, when Charles Barnum lost their lives. Mrs. Rhuele, while searching for her husband entered the pumping house, there falling over the body Of Mir. RR1uele. She rushed out of the pit and gave the warning scream which brought Mir. Read to the rescue, and then rushed back again to be overcome by the death dealing vapors. Without thought of her own life, prompted by the same motives that brought death to MT. Read, Mrs. Rhuele entered the pit a second time, never to return alive.
 Fred Dixon, 25, a chauffeur for MT. Read, made two attempts to reach the gas victims, but each time was driven back, staggering, by the nox- ious fumes.
 The funeral of the Rhueles was held yesterday afternoon from the parlors of Hawley, Wi1mot & Reynolds in State street, at 1:45, Rev. MT. Mitch ell of Milford conducting the services. The mourners included many Fair field Greenfield Hill and Southport residents, for the family were well and favorably known.
 Little Ruth Marek, 12-year- old daughter of Mrs. Rhuele and step- daughter of MT. Rhuele, is being taken care of by her aunt, Mrs. Walter Maroney, of Milford.

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IN THIRTEEN ARTICLES WOULD
 IMPEACH JUDGE ARCHIBALD
Each Article Describes Distinct Offense
 Against Commerce Court Judge
Committee Believes His Sense of Moral Responsibility Oeadened Alleged He Secured Options From uflgants
 Before His Court, Sought Credits and Accepted Presents

Washington, July S-Formal de- mand that Judge Rlbert w. Archibald, of the United States Commerce Court be impeached for ''misbehavior and high crimes and misdemeanor," was made to the House of Representatives today by the Judiciary committee. In exccriating phrases, the committee de- clared Archbald's sense of moral re- sponsibility has become deadened'' and that he '"has prostituted his high office for personal profit.'%
 Thirteen articles of Impeachment were presented in resolution. The Judiciary committee report, filed SUD- plementary to these formal demands, bristled with bitter denupciation of Archibald.
 ''The testimony in the whole case '' the report says, "tendS to support the general specification of general misbe- havior. Judge Archibald was appoint ed a United States district judge for the middle district of Pennsylvania, March 29, 19O1 and held that office until January 31, 1911, when he was appointed an additional United States circuit court judge and designated one of the judges of the United States Commerce Court,
 'The testimony shows that at diff 1oIonI LlIl0S, WAl10 JuOSe ATCnDdlu was a judge of the United States dis trict, he sought and obtained credit and in other instances sought to ob- tain credit from persons who had liti- gation pending in his court
 '"The testimony shows that, after Judge Archibald had been promoted to the position of United States cir- cult judge, and had been designated as one of the judges of the commerce court, he, in connection with different

persons, sought to obtain options on culm' piles and other property from officers and agents Of the. coal. com pan1es which were owned and con- trolled by railroad companies.
 The testimony further shows that, in order to influence the officers of the coal companies which were subsid- iary to and owned by the railroad companies, Judge Archibald repeated ly sought to influence the officers of the railroad to enter into contracts with his associates for the financial benefit of himself and his associates. In most instances, the contracts were associated with the judge in the par t1cular transaction of trade and the judges name was not disclosed on the face of the contract
 "The testimony shows, however, that he was, as a matter of fact, pe- cuniarily interested in such contracts and that, while his interest. was not known to the public, it was known to the officials of the railroad companies and of the coal companies and their subsidiaries
 ''The evidence discloses that, while the judges several associates or part ners would locate properties, the jIldes would take up the matter of the pur- chase or sale of such properties with the officials of the coal companies and railroad companies. While these ne- gotiations were being conducted amt agreements were made and sought to- be made, the railroad companies witfn whose officers Judge Archbald was making contracts and seeking to make agreements were common carriers en- gagged in interstate commerce with litigation pending in the commerce court.
