Auto Hits Funeral Csrriage-4
Hurt,

John McEvoy, an automobile dealer
of so Moreton street, Brooklyn, was
giving a demonstration in a new auto
bile in Queens Boulevard at Calvary
cemetery, on the outskirts of Long
Island City Tuesday afternoon. Directly
ahead there were a hearse and string of
carriages, making up the funeral of
Patrick Farley of Manhattan.
The hearse and several carriages had
turned into the gate of the cemetery
and the last coach had almost cleared
the gate when McEvoy came along. He
tried to clear the carriage, but his car
plunged into it from the rear.
In the carriage were Mis-. Julia Far
ley, widow of Patrick Farley: her
daughter, Annie, II years old, and the
Rev. Father James Farley of Bridge
water, Mass. brother of the deceased.
There were screams from the carriage
when the automobile struck, and when
the carriage tilted to one side the driver,
Hugh Gallagher, was thrown from his
his high seat to the ground.
The horses dashed away dragging the
wrecked carriage. The mourners were
carried around the hearse, and when one
of the side doors opened they were
thrown to the street one by one. Ga
went the team with the carriage, bump
ing into grave stones and trees. The
horses were finally stopped by laborers
in the cemetery.
One of the undertakers on the hearse
took charge of the injured. An am
bulance was called from st. Johns Hos
pital, Long Island City, and Surgeon
Sydney A. Brooks attended Mrs. Far
ley, her daughter, Father Farley, and
Gallagher, the driver. He took the four
to the hospital where their hurts We're
examined. Mrs. Farley and the driver
were more seriously cut up than the
others, and had to remain at the hos
pital last night. The Rev. Father Far
ley and his niece returned to Manhat-
tan.
A policeman served McEvoy with a
summons to explain the accident in the
Long Island Police Court this moaning.

Hot Wave Advsneina.

Washington, July PA wave of in
tense heat that set new records for the
ear in some places spread over the
greater part of the country today. The
weather bureau tonight held out no
hope for immediate relief.
Washington sweltering under a tenn
pe%rature of SO, was the hottest city in
the East. Marks of 100 or more were
registered in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. In
Chicago the mercury climbed to 100 and
it was the hottest day of the year
there.
In the New England States tempera-
lures were comparatively low, and there
was 10 immediate danger that the heat
wave would extend to that part of the
country.

capped serious injury, although one lady
was thrown from a machine into a

runabout towards this place when he
collided with an Overland carrying a
party of Schenectady people. The front

Storm Damage in Addison County.

In the storm at Middlebury Friday
between 8 and 5 o'clock, fields of pota-
toes and corn and other farm produce
were beaten down, but it is thought
that the vines and stalks were not
broken and that the crops will recover
from the temporary damage. Fields of
grain were also leveled, but, it is be-
lieved, not entirely destroyed. Up to
the present the grain crop in Addison
county had been considered the best for
a number of years.
In Cornwall, Whiting, and East Mid
dlebury the lightning struck in several
places and did a few hundred dollars
damage, but not a building was set on
fire. In Cornwall three working men
who were staying for shelter in a hay
barn were shocked by the lightning
which struck the barn and We're rend-
cred unconscious, but soon recovered.

A CHEAP FLY TRAP

One a make a fly trap that costs
but little and is very effective. If a
large trap is desired a salt or sugar
barrel may be utilized. Knock out the
upper head and tack on in its place
wire fly screen. In the bottom cut a
circular hole eight or nine inches in
diameter and into this insert a cone
of the wire screen, made so it will fit
the hole in the barrel, and nail it to
the edge. The cOne should have
a hole mt the peak about the size of a
lead pencil, which will let the flies
through as they crawl up from below
through the cone. A dish containing
a little sweetened water should be
placed beneath the center OF the bar
rel just below the cone, while the bar
rel should be raised two or three
inches above the floor or ground on
which 1t stands. A small box may be
used in place Of a barrel, or the trap
may be circular in shape. with wire
jacket and circular pieces of wood for
top and bottom. In any case the prin-
ciple Of the trap Is the same.

Girl Killed on Auto Outinq.

Abner Wagner of A Gill Place,
Queens, was driving his touring car
swiftly down a steep hill in Schaefer
street, Brooklyn, at eight o'clock Tues
day night. He put on brakes, but had
not got the car completely in hand when
he approached the crossing of Ever
green avenue. Along the avenue came
4 car belonging to Rosenblatt Brothers,
clothiers, of 65 Norfolk street, Manhat-
tan, driven by Morris Chernowitz of
Brooklyn. With him on the seat was
Jenny Feeder, a nine-year-old girl, a
sickly little girl, whose family were
friends of Chernowitz. He had been
accustomed to take her out for an auto
me bill ride about once a week, and this
was the evening of their outing.
Che 'nowitz thought he could pass the
crossing ahead of Wagner, but miscal-
culated the speed of the %latter's car.
Wagner hit Chernowitz's machine
squarely in the middle, throwing both
occupants out. He managed to stop
his own car after it had pushed the
other some 10 yards, and came back to
the scene of the accident. The girl had
been instantly killed. DR.. K~atzenbogen,
who came from the Bushwick hospital,
treated ~Chernowitz, whose injuries were
only slight bruises and cuts. Wagner
was not hurt. New York Times.

CANAL TO OPEN AUG. Is.

Washington, July 20. -Opening of the
Panama canal to the worlds commerce
on August Is next was announced to-
night by Secretary Garrison. Probably
the first vessel to pass through the
great waterway will be the Cristobal,
a war department steamer, now at
Colon. There will be no formalities
in connection with the epoch marking
event, all ceremonies being left for the
official opening when the international
fleet passes through the canal in March
1915. When the Cristobal steams from
its slip to the Atlantic entrance of the
canal it will mark the conclusion by
American enterprise OF the greatest en-
cheering task eve undertaken and the
elimination of ten years of the hardest
kin d of work against physical obstacles
which have severely taxed the abilities
of the army engineers under Colonel
Goethals. Some things remain to be
done to perfect the waterway. The
channel through the Culebra cut, in
particular, must be deepened and
widened. While, with 80 feet of water
in the canal, some of the great dread
noughts might pick their way through
after August Is. Secretary Daniels
said tonight he would not be likely
to order any such movement except in
an emergency. He will wait until there
is more water in the great ditch.

Mourners were hurled into the street

coach carrying ten persons returning

DON'T PUT FAITH IN 1T.

There Is a rancher down in Texas
who claims that he has stopped an cpl
demic Of pear blight in his young or
chard by digging trenches about his
trees a few inches deep and putting in
about half a gallon of salt, his conten-
ton being that the brine was absorbed
by the roots, was Incorporated in the
sap and In this way served to counter
act the blight bacteria. This plan of
injecting some remedy into the sap of
trees affected with blight has been
tried out by a good many folks and
invariably has not proved effective.
The chances are in the case of this
Texas experimenter that the blight In
his trees got ready to stop. as blight
often does, and that the salt had moth
ing whatever to do with 1t. Those who
have studied blight most and fought It
hardest recognize but one method of
control, cutting off all infected branch
es well below the limit of infection
and sterilizing both cut and knife with
a one one-thousandth solution of BIZ
chloride of mercury "a rank POISON.
Infected branches should be burned at
once to keep insects from visiting them
and spreading the bacterial ooze to IN
infected trees.

was near. He swerved the automobile
in the direction the train was going in
an effort to gain room and the engine
hit the automobile on the side, tossing
the machine and occupants in the air.
The impact broke the air pipes on the
locomotive and automatically threw on
the brakes, bringing the train to a sto p
