HIBERNIAN DELEGATES
 INJURED IN ACCIDENT.
Norwich and TaftvilIe People Thrown from Seats When Air Line Express Ran Into Open Switch.

Seven Norwich people and three Taftville people, delegates to the Hi bernian convention in AIiddletOw nthIs week, narrowly escaped serious if not fatal injuries when the Air Line train, Middletown to WillimantiC, on which they were returning home Thursday night ran into an open switch few miles out of Willimantc and crashed into a, freight ear, wreck ing the engine.
 In the Norwich party were Frank J. Murtha, Mrs. Lawrence Riley, Miss Anna Hughes, Miss Mamie Dunn, Miss Sarah Kelly, Mrs. Mary L. Sliney and Miss Anna SEney, while those from TaftviIle were Mrs. William Malone, Miss Kate Malone and Miss Anna Loeffier.
 When the crash came all were thrown violently from tEeir seats, land ing in a confused heap on the car floor. The locomotive was quite badly wrecked and the passengers had to wait on the siding until another loco motive could be secured from Wilh- mantle to tow them into that city. They arrived in WilIimantiC several hours late and it was Ills before they got to Norwich.
 All of the Norwich and TaftviIle peo- pie were more or less injured and re- quired medical attention. Miss Dunn will be confined to the house for a day or two at least, and so will Mrs. Sliney, whose injuries are of Q more serious nature. She struck the side of her face when thrown from her seat, her chest and side were injured and she complains of difficulty in breathing. Mrs. Riley was struck on the head by a large package which fell from a cOntainer above the seat in which she was sitting and received in juries about the neck Miss Sliney also received injuries about the neck. MT. Nurtha escaped with a general shaking up and minor injuries about the legs. A WiIIimantic girl who was @ passenger on the train lost all her front teeth.
 The train was running slowly at the time, which probably saved the pas sengers from further injury and pos sibly death.

HANS BAUCK THROWN
 FROM HIS MOTORCYCLE
Former Norwich Boy Figured in Col
 lision at Waterbury.

Says the Waterbury Republican of recent issue:
 H. IT. Bauck of BIO Lincoln street was thrown from his motorcycle and severely bruised about the body, and his machine was badly damaged yes terday afternoon, about 5.45 o'clock when he was run into by a seven-pas- senger touring car at the corner Of Chapman avenue and Fislle street. The touring car bore the Pennsylvania number 204 568, and was apparently headed toward TOrringtOn or the northern part of the state.
 MT. BauC1 was turning the corner at Fiske street and Chapman avenue when the automobile, which was com ing in the opposite direction, ran into him, though it was claimed that he was on the right side of the street. The motorcycle was going slowly at the time the accident occurred, and though the automobile was not going at a fast Eata Of speed, it seemed that the brakes, if applied, did not work.
 The driver of the automobile stop ped the machine for few minutes, and after denying all responsibility for the accident continued on his way without giving his name.
 MT Bauck formerly resided on Union street, this city, and is well known here.

BARNEY KEENAN, WILL BOX AT BRIDGEPORT Entered in MiddIeweight Class at Big
 Meet Today.

The Norwich police department will be represented today at the meet at Pleasure Beach, Bridgeport for the police championship of the state by Supernumerary Bernard Keenan, whose entry, duly signed and accredit- ed by Chief Linton, was sent in a long time ago. Barney is going down to show the valor of Norwich policemen to the officers from the other cities of the state by appearing in the boxing ring. Twenty years ago Barney was making a record for himself in these parts as a middleweight and he has 9 vivid memory to this day of @ fa- nous 16 round battle to a draw with Policeman James Gafney of the New London force. Barney was at I55 then, and today he will weigh in at 168 but Jim long since stepped into the heavy weight class and there's not a chance that they'll meet again. The Norwich man has been in training for three weeks, looks hard as a rock, and something will be doing today when he steps over the ropes.
 None of the other members of the Norwich department expected to att tend on Friday finding it too difficult to make the trip at this time.

ZABRIsKiE ON AUTOMOBILE
 MARKET AT ST. THOMAS
Former Norwich Man Says There Are Only Fifteen Miles of improved Road There.

Vice Consul Luther K ZabrisSie at St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, for merly of Norwich, writes interestingly in the Commerce Reports concerning the market for automobiles in those islands:
 The recent introduction into St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, of two LoW-DriCed American automobiles, which are the first seen on the island, except at two or three brief exhibi- tons in years past, appears to have aroused interest in the project of eX- tending and improving the roads here. The total length of the St. Thomas rCa ds does not exceed 15 miles, and consequently any idea of adding to the present small number of motor cars is quite out of the question for the time being. Both of the machines mentioned are hired from time to time by local residents or by tourists, and one of them, owned by the St. Thomas Ship Brokers Association, is employ ed by it's owners in connection with large shipping interests.
 In the neighbOrtng island of St. John there are hardly any good car riage roads. In St. Croix, however the carriage and automobile roads are said to total about one hundred miles in length, and there are nineteen au- tOmObiles on that island. The first of these was imported four and one-na1f years ago. One large motor truck in St. CrOiX is employed in carting su- gar from a sugar factory to the wharf at FTedericksted.
 The customs duty on automobiles imported into St. Thomas is 6 per cent. ad valOrem, while the duty levied in St. CroiX on automobiles and their accessories amounts to 12 1-2 per cent. ad valOren.
 The St. Croix roads are not espec- ialIy good for automobiling, and the machines usually desired are those of Q light make. The planters and others who might become purchasers can not be styled wealthy, and cheapness is another important consideration. There should be an opportunity in the near future to increase the number of automobiles in St. Croix to a limited figure, provided the present high prices paid for sugar continue until the en- tire crop is sold.

COPPER HEAD SNAKES
 FIRST BOW OF SEASON
After Many Months of Inactivity, He
 Shed His Skin Friday.

Our old friend, c. V. Pendleton, Jos cOpperhead snake, the same that last summer drew upon itself so much of the interest and attention of the crowds that pass on Broadway, had been mOpiug away this season outside the glare of the publicity it got used to and rather expected a year ago, but Friday all the glory came back, when it reappeared in the window bigger than ever and with a brand new skin. Last summer the shedding Of its old coat didn't occur until after a month or two of organized expectancy, but this time Manager PendletOn waited for the psychological moment and the shake act of casting off it's old scales and showing forth in it's new and bril- liant regaIia consumed only a part of a day The old skin is there as proof that the cOpperhead actually did the trick
 A winter spent in one long sleep be- side the furnace fire and quiet spring and summer help in the case of snakes. for this specimen has grown from feet 10 last year to four feet one at the present writing.
 Last year Raymond Ditmars famous reptile expert of the Bronx zoo said it was the biggest in captivity and now 1t is even bigger than that. Assistant Snyder was here a month or two ago on his way to Lantedn Hill looking for COppeFleads and admired the cap tive, who looks still prettier today.
 The copperhead went eight months without eating. But MT, PendIeton fed him dead sparrows in the spring time. when a snakes fancy lightly turns to such tender objects, and last week the young giant made away with four frogs. He drinks lots of water and finds it promotes health and di- gestion, and in the compantonship of a couple of milk shakes and adders he is IrJing %dppily onward toward a grand old age.
