HELEN WATSON SUICIDE IN SEA Bridgeport Girl Leaves Note Indicating a Broken
 Heart. MAN SHE CALLED
 HUSBAND DENIES TT Body Believed to Have Been Swept Away - Jumped From Pier In New
 York.

Beneath the murlxy waters of New Yorks East River young woman. believed to have been Helen Wat son, until recently of Bridgeport, went to her death yesterday morning as g. suicide. A broken heart, it is be- 1ieved, resulting from realizing the faithlessness of Frank Bergese, to whom she apparently thought herself married, is credited with being the motive for the deed In a pathetic note, left on the fog covered dock, she refers to his having some one else and not caring for her. Attempts made to recover the body were Ansuc- cessfuI and it is thought that it has been carried out to sea.
 Information concerning the tragedy this morning but no definite clue has been received as the identity of the woman. There are several girls and young women known to be in New York by the name of Watson At least two of them answer somewhat to the general description of the dead. Police opinion is that 1t may be a young woman, known to the police here as Birdie" Watson. She has been in New York for several months. According to report, she left with a New Yorker and intimated that she expected to marry him
 The suicide occurred at the pier at 95th street. Thomas F1aherty of l. 452 Second avenue noted her suspfc1- ous actions and started towards her as he saw her removing her hat He was too late. He was but a moment later in diving into the water in an attempt to save her. She made no attempt to save herself and was not seen after her first disappearance.
 There was notebook found on the pier with the following note:
 My Dear Husband-As see you have some one else and do not care for me, I end it all- From your brok- en hearted wife,
 MRS. HELEN REBGEsE
 'T live at No. 40 East Hoist street, room 19.''
 It was found that she had made her home with Mrs. Mary Bergese at the East 1O1st street address after being brought there by her son as the woIn- an he intended to marry. Money matters stood in the way, according to the story and the wedding wae deferred until he could save up tho desired amount. The mother did not entirely approve of his choice and she fears that it was the expression of this disapproval that caused the deed. It was reported that this was the third suicide attempt Both mother and son denied that there had been any marriage.

TAXI, LOST IN DARK, PLUNGES INTO THE RIVER John Bonds Training Quarters Aroused at Early Hour by
 Strange Mishap. DRIVER LANDS ON
 FLOAT, UNINJURE0 Another Machine Following Through TOFn-up Road way, Narrowly Escapes
 Fate of First.
CspeciaI to The Farmer.) )

stratford. Nov. S.-The residents of the vicinity of the lower dock were aroused this morning soon before 4 o'clock by a crash which brought all the sleepers to their feet. The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than a few feet away The ruction was caused by a New Haven taxicab which had wandered from the main road and gone of the dock
 The mechine hung over the dock on one wheel this morning after the fog lifted One of the forward wheels had crashed through the float tied to the dock. The driver, William Fitzpat- rick, had driven a party to Bridgeport and was on his way back to New Ha- ven. He negotiated the torn-up road bed on Stratford avenue, but when he reached Hard's corner he failed to rec ognfze his surroundings in the thick fog and continued down Stratford ave nue until he reached the lower dock. He realized that he was off the road and was proceeding slowly until he could again get hhs bearings. He had no suspicion that he was near the wa ter until his machine toppled over into the river He was thrown out, but landed on his feet on the float, but even then he had the presence of mind to shut off the power. A few moments later he aroused the people in Mrs John Bonds house and telephoned for assistance. Fitzpatrick a cool-head- ed young fellow and was perfectly so- ber when the machine went off the dock. William Bedeu Of the Stratford @hfpyard win make an attempt today to get the machine again on terra nrmA
 It was wonderful good fortune that in the thick fog the driver did not fol- low the track in front or Bonds Casino and go off the end of the wharf where the water hs at least. g feet deep at low tide Just what made Fitzpatrick veer to the rght is a. -ystery to him self as well as others
 Half an hour afterwards an autorno- bile loaded with a party of gunners bound for a days sport on the river Followed in the tracks of the first and would probably have met a worse fate with all it's passengers had not the first accident brought people to the scene. The latter party was looking for Captain Weeks place on Elm street, and the fact that, although the driver was well acquainted with the territory he was unable to locate his destination, is a demonstration of the density of the fog which covered the vicinity this morning.
 The taxicab is practically 11nin jured in spite of its desperate plunge. At noon the machine hung over the dock with one wheel caught on the dock log and the others overheard.
 The crash awakened Commodore Frank Burr1tt, whose bungalow is To- cated few yards away from the scene of the accident Before the cause of ffe racket could be ascertadned the Commodore believed that a runaway Sound steamer had collided with his residence.

The turning down Of the petition
of the farmers of Baldwin for a sid

great interest that the towns and
cities and the business world in gen.

talk of making conditions more con-
venient for people to remain on the
farm and produce the wherewithal
to feed the world is all humbug.
The town of Baldwin by right should
not even be required to petition for
siding as it has paid for one sew
eral times over and was promised
one when the bonds were given.

bors to go to Payette's studio for

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur

But it has been found that these salves
