INSURANCE AGENTS
AUTO TURNED OVER
Newton A. Vaughn Receives
Injured Hand, Cut on Chin
and Cracked Ribs
Turned to Avoid Hitting Wagon on
Slippery Hospital Hill

In turning into an embankment on
Hospital Hill in order to avoid hitting
a milk wagon, an automobile driven
by Newton A. Vaughn, insurance
agent with offices on Front street,
tipped over, injuring the driver. Mr..
Vaughan received deep gashes on the
chin. in which two stitches were TAX
en-, a sprained left hand and two
cracked ribs, minor cuts and bruises.
He is able to be at his office but is
suffering from his injuries.
Mr.. Vaughn was coming to Putnam
Monday morning The rain had made
the roadway slippery. When part
way down the hill Mr. Vaughn saw a
wagon but the driver apparently did
not see him. When the driver awoke
to the fact that an automobile was
approaching he picked up the loose
reins and the horse was started out
towards the center of the road.
Mr.. Vaughn said that he had APP
piled his brakes but the machine be-
gan to skid and he let them off and
tried to get his car under control.
Seeing that he would hit the wagon
he turned his machine toward the side
of the road expecting to be able to
stop it against an embankment. When
the car ran into the embankment it
toppIed over and Mr. Vaughn was un-
derneath. He was able to free him
self and then sought medical atten-
ton at the Day Kimball hospital
nearby He was then able to go
home The automobile was damaged

STATE COLLEGE TO
HAVE FAIR EXHIBIT
Connecticut Agricultural Col
lege Planning Interesting De-
monstrations for People of
This County.

Somewhere along the midway of
Woodstock and Brooklyn fairs this
fall, perhaps with the time-honored
African dodger on one side and the
snake charmer on the other, will be
found tent. thirty feet by forty,
that houses the exhibit of the Connec-
ticut Agricultural College 1t will
represent the colleges ideals of the
best farm and home practices.
Agricultural fairs are taking on
more and more of the educational and
less of the purely amusement aspects
of former years and the college be-
heves that they offer an exceptional
opportunity to reach the people with
new ideas. In small tent, the col
lege has attempted to compress as
much real information and practical
suggestion as possible.
Four departments of the exhibit
deal with essentials of farming sue
cess. The first concerns livestock. 1t
details the practical economical meth
DDS of obtaining hens that lay 100
eggs year, cows that give 1000
pounds of milk, sheep that shear eight
pounds of WOOL bees that produce 100
pounds of honey to the hive.
One of the most interesting of the
departments deals with the farm
homes, especially with the equipping
of farm homes so as to give farm
women equal opportunities with other
housekeepers. Running water, sewage
disposal, iceless refrigerators, baby
cages, wheel trays, etc, are to be
shown in working models. Boys and
girls will be represented in another
department of the exhibit.
In order to reach all the fairs that
have asked for the exhibit, it has been
necessary for the college to duplicate
the material This enables the ex-
hibits to be shown at two different
fairs on the same date. Representa-
tives of the institution will be on hand
to explain any points in which the
public is interested
AS told in The Patriot some few
weeks ago, County Agent Benjamin
w. Ellis is planning demonstration,
to be held in connection with that
from Storrs, to show what work the
association is accomplishing, and to
give the public at large an opportuni-
ty to become acquainted with this
work. Mr.. Ellis is hoping to have on
exhibition some of the thoroughbred
cattle that have recently been pur-
chased by Windham county farmers
Ten such animals are now owned in
this vicinity.

Among those who on Thursday made

was made to visit the Sangendorf
farm, where there is valuable herd
of pure bred Ayrshires Mr.. Barstow
recently purchased two thoroughbred
animals, and has given one to each of
his sons. The young farmers are now
greatly interested in thoroughbred
cattle, and for some time have been
keenly looking forward to the trip to

FAMOUS BAND
LEADER DEAD
Capt. Edmands Died Wednes-
day, Born In Thompson
As Head of Boston Brigade, Won
World Fame As Musician

Capt. Thomas Ormsby Edmands,
noted bandmaster and orchestra lead
er. who celebrated his seth birthday
on Aug. 81, died Wednesday at
Rocky Nook" bingham, Mass. His
funeral will take place this Friday at
ternoon at Woodlawn chapel
He was born at Thompson, Conn.,,
the son of Hosea Edmands, a farmer.
After receiving his early education in
that town he left home at the age of
Is and worked firing" on the old
Norwich & Worcester railroad. On
Oct. 26, 1850, ne married Miss Han
nah Buffam White of Thomaston,
Conn.,, and two years later made Bos-
ton his place of residence. His wife
died in bingham in 1908.
Until he had become expert on the
violin and cornet, he was employed as
a stationary engineer, practising his
musical instruments during his spare
time. Succeeding in mastering both
the violin and cornet, he organized, in
1853, Edmands' orchestra and band.
which became known as one of the
leading musical organizations in the
state.
Most of the members of his band
were formerly part of the famous
Boston Brigade band, which was
broken up shortly before Mr.. Ed
mands reassembled its players. For
more than a quarter of century Ed
mands' band and orchestra acquired
fame, winning great praise at the
Worlds Peace jubilees held in the old
Boston Coliseum in so and II.
1t provided music for the National
Lancers in Washington on the ocea-
sion of the first inauguration of Presi-
dent Grant in 1878 and for &c con-
secutive winters the orchestra fur
nished music at the Laneers' hops,
For "a summers the orchestra held
forth at the old Melville Garden at
Downer's Landing, Weymouth, the
scene of famous social and political
gatherings during the latter part OF
the last century 1t was at Downer'
Landing that Mr. Edmands gave his
final concert, retiring on Labor Day
1898.
Since that time he had lived IN an
old colonial mansion, built $50 years
ago. at bingham, known as Rocky
Nook" not far from Nantasket juno
ton. During the last 25 years he
gained further renown as an expert
fisherman in the vicinity of the South
Shore and, during the smelling sea
son. was constantly afloat in his little
tender. 1t became one of his daily
feats to row out and fish for hours.
His favorite anniversary was Sept
II. for it was on that date IN 1904
that the Boston Theatre, then known
as the Boston Academy of Music, first
opened its doors. He was there on
the opening night and on every sue
ceeding Sept. IL he visited the Boston
Theatre, never missing an annlver-
sary.- He had planned to be on hand
next month and celebrate the Goth
birthday of the playhouse.
He is survived by two daughters
Miss Gertrude Edmands and Mrs. Eva
McCumber. Miss Edmands is prom
inent in musical circles, having beer
the contralto soloist at the Arlington
Street church for several years.
