 WOrStcd in Knitting

New York Feb. 11.--Miss Mollie Fancher, who celebrated her "gOlden ubilee'' as an invalid eight days ago, died today as her home in Brooklyn.
 Miss Fancher was known all over the world through the extraordinary correspondence she built up during the half century of her invalidism.

A year later she was the victim of a street car accident which deprived her of the use of all her limbs except her right arm. For nine years she re- mained in a trance-like conditiOn during which period her friends in sisted she was clairvOyant. It was in these wears that she built up her cor respondence, dictating a total of $500 letters.
 During the fifty years of her inn DrisOnment in a sick room, Miss Fancher's chief nOurishmcnt was the juice of fruits.

SOUP POISONS GUESTS
 AT CHICAGO BANQUET
Ptomaine Poisoning of Over 100 Tenn porariIy Breaks Up Affair Being
 Given to Archbishop.

Chicago, Feb 11.-MOrc than 100 persons who suffered ptomaine pols- oning from eating soup at a banquet given ;ast night at the University club in honor of Archbishop George w. Mundelein of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chicago, had fully re covered today.
 Nearly 200 guests were present, hl- cluding many prelates from various parts of the country. When the frSt of the guests to be stricken fell or rushed from the room, there was gen. Gral COmmotiOn.
 Prompt first aid measures were ao = ninistered by physicians present. ana most of those affected soon returned 10 the banquet room.
 Explaining the incident, Dr. J. B. Murphy said An investigation dis closes the ptomaine poisoning de- leloped in the soup served at the ban uuet. It was a boullion made from fresh chickens. The boullion was then permitted to cool and was boiled again just before being served.
 "Boullion is the great culture medium in which germs grow. Ihe germs developed while the soup was cooling and after it cooled. When It was reboiled the germs were kllled' but the poison thrown out by the germs was left. That is the ptomaine pOiSOn.'

MACHINE OVERTURNED
 AND LEFT IN DITCH
P. s. McMahOn's Chauffeur, William Martin, Is
 Missing.

Considera bIe mystery surrounds the
 overturning and assertion of P. S.. McMahon's touring car at Upson's
 corner in Kensington sometime shortly after O clock this morning.
 William Martin, McMahons chauf- feur, is missing. It is claimed that Martin, in company with another we'll known chauffeur, took the car ,from Corbin's garage without leave at 2:05 o'clock this morning. That was the last seen of Martin Or his companion and McMahon has made a complaint to the police asking that the two men be arrested for taking his machine without his permlsslon
 No one saw the accident at Upson's corner and the first McMahon knew of it was when. at , o'clock this morning, he was told his machine was lying on its side in the ditch. Edward McAloon passed the over turned car early today and brought the news back to this city. The owner at once investigated and the records at Corbin's garage showed that Martin took the car out at 2:05 o'clock this morning.
 McMahon states that he tried to find his chauffeur at o'clock last evening but he was missing, so he en- gagged another driver to take him to Hartford. He put his car in the garage at Il o'clock last night and supposed it had remained there until notified of the accident this morning. The accident occurred at the sharp turn from the Beech Swamp road
 le ading to the depot. The heavy car had evidently swerved into the ditch and overturned. It is miraculous that none of the occupants was neither killed nor injured
 Since the accident neither Martin
 CT his companion has been seen and
 it is supposed that they have skipped town. McMahon states that le will press this case to the limit if he can. locate either of the men, and
 he is determined to make an example
 of chauffeurs who take their employ CTS machines without permission He declares that previously Martin has been a good driver for him and because he knows him so well he is ,f the opinion that after taking the car out he permitted the other man to 'try to speed her up" and his neg
 ligence resulted in the accident.
 On two previous occasions Martins license has been suspended so if he again appears before the secretary of state on a serious charge it is evil dent that he will lose it entirely. McMahon's car was lowed back to
 this city this morning. It is not badly damaged and has only a broken door, a smashed windshield and broken lamps Had it not been that the wa ter in the radiator frooze during the night it would have been possible to have driven it back on it's own power.

EMBARGO TO BE LIFTED
New Haven Officials Notify Local Chamber of Commerce That It Will Be Off Tonight.

Pleasing information reached this city this afternoon, when Secretary A. H. Andrews of the Chamber of Comerce received word from General Manager BardO of the Consolidated railroad company, that the freight embargo that has been in effect for several weeks will be lifted at mid night tonight The ruling of the company will be effective on all lines of the company except by the way of Beacon, N. Y.
 There is probably no city which has felt the effects of the embargo more than New Britain on account of it's many manufacturing concerns. Up to a few weeks ago the situation was one that was causing considerable anxiety, when the coal supply began to fall short, and had it not been for temporary relief and good weather there is no knowing just what condi- tiOnS might have existed

WANT TOM LYNCH FOR
 HEAD OF NEW LEAGUE
But Former President of Ma tional League Has Re-
 ceived No Offer.

Thomas J. Lynch of this city IS being prominently mentioned as presi- dent of the new proposed merger baseball league. which is at present in the hands of a special committee The reports of MT. Lynch's selection for the place are being used eXten- siVely in the circles closely connected with the formation of the proposed league. s,a.r.s -
 MT. Lynch was interviewed this
 morning in regard to the report, but he said that there had been no nego- tiations between him and the mag
 rates interested, and further than
 this he could throw no light on the
 matter. If the proposed league is started it would be with wisdom that the directors of the organization would select a man of MT Lynch s caliber for the important position of president. Identified with baseball for many years, as an umpire and later as head of the National league, he has acquired knowledge that would inc essentially beneficial for the suc- cess of the new organization.
 Another name mentioned as a presidential candidate for the place is Arthur Irwin, an old time player ard later scout for the New York Yankees, but those directly connect ed with the merger are said to have practically eliminated him providing the local man will say the word of acceptance.
 The teams which may constitute the new association are as follows: New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, New London, Springfield, Worcester, Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence and Port land. To handle this outfit will re- quire big man for president and for this reason the directors are carefully looking for a man of big league cali Der, thus conveying the impression that MT Lynch will be selected
 MT. Lynch showed an interest in the rumor that the merger is a cer- tainty when interviewed today. and he gave a number of views on the man her in which the league should be conducted ''The baseball public likes to see new faces" he said, "and one of the plans that the league should adopt would be to play along the lines of the majors, that of hay ing a schedule that would cover Con- necticut before returning home, mak. ing stops of two or three days in each citV'

TEN CARS PILE UP IN
 WRECK AT REMINGTON
Freight Train Reduced to Tangled. Twisted Mass
 in a Twinkling.

Speeding to the East Hartford yards. freight train composed for the greater part of empty cars, came to grief at a point half a mile west oc the Newington station about 6:30 o'clock last night. Ten cars were piled into a smashed, tangled pile or splintered wood and twisted steel and as a result all traffic between New Britain, Plainville, Bristol, Waterbury and Hartford was forced to make a detour via Berlin. The tracks were not cleared until 3 o'clock this morn ing.
 While the wreck was spectacular 1t was not considered serious except Tor the Interruption it caused traffic and the loss of the cars. Seven Of the wrecked cars were empty and three were loaded with merchandise. No one was injured.
 The wreck is attributed to a Drokcn brake beam on one of the cars
 When this dropped down it acted as a lever and lifted the car off the track into the ditch. The nine cars following piled up on top of each other, effectually blocking both the east and west bound tracks.
 Chaos stared the wrecking crews in the face when they reached the scene in response to emergency calls. One v,recker from Waterbury tackled the tangle from the west end and another vyrecker from East Hartford began tC clear the track from the east end. Word was sent to this city and all the track men available were hurried to the scene on a special car. While the situation appeared hopeless at the start, the crews worked like beavers in the illumination furnished by oil lamps. ascetaline torches and bon fire and the hungry derricks went to their task with a will, lifting the piled up cars onto trucks and hauling them away. Those that were past repair were tossed into the ditch.
 By o'clock this morning both tracks had been cleared and traffic today was normal.
