STRUCK BY TRAIN
 ONlAUREL HILL BRIDGE.
Godez GonsaIves Has to Have Arm Amputated at spital-Other In- juries.

Just after the northbound passenger train on the New Haven road had passed over the Laurel Hill bridge a few minutes after ' o'clock Sunday night, Godez GonsalVes, 24 a Portu- galese guy tender employed at A1Iyn's Point was found on the bridge injured, having been struck by the train. Po- 1iceman F. Murphy who was on Main street was told by two colored men that there was a man hurt on the bridge. and, running there. he found Gonsalves lying the ties with his face crushed down between the outer end of the ties and the strinepiece on the easterly side of the bridge Notify ing trainmen to look out that no more trains came over him, the policeman telephoned to Captain Twomey at poz lice headquarters, who in turn notified Backus hospital, and the ambulance was ordered out at once.
 A record hitch and answer was made from the stable of William F. Bailey, Jr, and the man was in the hospital at 730 which MT. Bailey thinks is about as quick as an outo-am bulance could have done it if it had responded from the hospital.
 :. Policeman Murphy assisted in get ting the badly injured man eff the bridge to a place of safety where he could wa< for the ambulance
 At the hospital it was found that the crushed that it required amputatfon at the elbow. his left cheek was deeply cut up to the eye socket where it had struck the ties on the bridge, there were bruises on his head, and severe decorations in the pelvic-region which required much sewing up. At 10 o'clock the doctors were still at work on the injuries which required sew ing.
 The railroad men Sunday had not exactly determined how the accident happened as there were no marks on the front of the engine to show where he might have been hit and Engineer Webb did not see him on the bridge. It was suggested that he might have been stealing a Eride on the baggage car expecting to get off when the train stopped on the bridge to throw ths switch, as is done, but the train dis not stop for that Sunday night He might have tried to get off while it was in motion and got caught. The conductor on the train was John O'Neil
 The injured man is one of the two who were arrested in the raid for Sunday selling at the Kenyon place on North Main street on February 23

Electricity Exhibition on Franklin
 Scuare

To add to the excitement incident to the fire in the Chapban building early Saturday morning a trolley pole on one of the cars pulled apart the trolley wire on the northbound track in front of Ferry street. The wire coming in contact with the tracks furnished some brilliant electric fireworks until the re- pair car showed up to repair the line. The wire had pulled out of a sleeve and it took but few moments to put it in place again. Owing to the double track at this point no delay in the ser vice resulted from the accident.

ACTIVITY FEATURES
COTTON MARKET
Violent Fluctuation in Old
Crop MOnths-Bullish
Views

New York. April 4.-The feature in
the cotton market here during the past
week has been the activity and COM
paratively violent fluctuations in old
crop months. Alarmed, perhaps, by the
closing strength of March, the express
sion of bullish views by prominent
trade interests and the continued
steadiness of southern spot markets,
May and July shorts were active buy
! ers early in the week. causing an ad-
vance OF more than half cent from
the low level of last month. At this
| level demand slackened and the upward
movement was followed by sharp re-
actions under May liquidation which
seemed to be inspired by predictions
that the bulk of the local stock would
be rendered on contract next month
Unsettled weather in the south re-
ports that the necessity of replanting
: in the extreme southwest might cur
tail the end season movement combined
with apprehensions of floods in the
Mississippi valley, have doubtless add
ed to the strength of the market on
advances, but new crop months have
been relatively quiet and there has been
nothing to suggest that new crop ap-
lprehensions were sufficiently acute to
stimulate much outside buying. Reports
from the Mississippi valley forecast
even higher waters than last year and
it is claimed that in some sections live
stock is being moved to high ground
and farm work suspended to permit
of more active work in reinforcing the
levees. The opinion most generally
cxpressedin local circles, however, ap-
tpears TO be that even should floods
occur they are not likely to materially
affect the ultimate crop If conditions
elsewhere in the belt prove favorable.

What Worms Have Done for Egypt

Investigations lately completed by
the British government in the Sudan
prove that the remarkable fertility of
the valley of the White Nile is largely
due to the work of earthworms.
The castings-the earth. which passes
through the digestive system-of the
earthworms on one acre of ground was
found to be 239,5S0s pounds in the six
months active growing season that the
farmers of that country enjoy. This
means that a lot of the subsoil has
been brought to the surface and also
that the land has been put in excellent
condition by the thorough aeration of
the soil made possible through the run
ways of the worms
