Injurod Yesterday.
Leaves, which had fallen on the
track. caused a rear end collision be-
tween two street railway cars, in Dau-
bury. yesterday afternoon. which re-
sulted in injuries to two persons. Mrs.
E. H. Marsh, who was alighting from
the forward car. was thrown to the
ground, badly shaking her up. and Cons
ductor W. A. Saunders. of the colliding
car, and a former resident of South
Norwalk, was thrown violently against
a window, breaking the glass and sus-
taining severe cuts about the face and
neck.
The cars were on Mpin street. in
the northern part of the city. when
the accident occurred. The first car
had stopped on a crosswalk to allow
passengers to slight, when a car fol-
lowing, beyond control of the motor-
man on account of the leavcs whlc
make the track slippery, collided
with It. The force of the collision
wrecked both vestibules on the cars
and broke a number of windows.
NEW MAIN ABOUT COMPLETED.
Last Length of Sixteen Inch Pipe Lald
Yesterday Afternoon.
The new sixteen inch water main of
the City of Norwalk is now about com-
pleted. The last length of pipe was
laid yesterday afternoon in Riverside
avenue by Contractor Taylor's force of
workmen. The water will be turned
on in a few days and after this is done.
it is not thought that the city will have
any more water troubles for several
years at least so far as getting down
the water from the upper reservoirs to
the distributing reservoir on Spring
Hill is concerned. The pipe now in use,
which the greater part of the distance
is only twelve inches in diameter, has
been inadequate for some time. With
the addition of the sixteen inch main
:1 great volume will pour into the
Spring Hill reservoir.
The new main extends a distance of
about five miles, from a point near Dan-
iels' Mills to the corner of Holden and
Riverside avenues in the city. The
cost of the job completed is something
like $80,000.
Frequently of late it has been neces-
sary to connect the city mains direct
from the Grupe reservoir and keep a
certain amount. in the distributing res-
ervoir for. fire purposes.

Captain Victor W. Ferris found yes-
terday afternoon. when he went to get
his yacht ”Duh", which had fioated
during the night him her anchorage in
the river and gone ashore on Peach Is-
land. that the anchor ropea' had been
cut. Evidently some vandal had board-
ed the hoat after dark and cut the an-
chor line. in the hope that she might
be wrecked. Captain Ferris is inves-
tigating the case. and will probably
prosecute the offenders if he finds out
who did the work. The rope showed
clearly that it had been cut with a
sharp knife In two different places.
The anchor was gone, It could not

Mrs. Samuel Richards
Weed Makes a Plea Before
the , Connecticut library
Association at the-Meeting
in Suffleld. Yesterday
The fall meeting of the Connecticut
Library Association was held yesterday
in the chapel of the Congregational
Church, Sufiield. The morning session
was called to order at 10:45 o’clock by
the president. Jonathan Trumbull, of
Norwich, who was followed by Judge
Martin H. Smith, of Suffleld. in a short
address of welcome, offering the free-
dom of the town to the association.
Mr. Trumbull In his reply asked for
help anti cooperation among the li-
brarics of the state. and saying that
the asset latiou had never accomplished
anything tangible. suggested that it
i-hould collect and compile material
for a bibliography of Connecticut
which can probably be published by
the state. The reports of the secretary,
Miss Laura F. Phllbrook. of Middle‘
town, and the treasurer, Miss C. Belle
Maltble. of Falls Village. were read. A
vote was passed that a committee of
ten should be appointed by tho presi-
dent to report at the next meeting on
plans for collecting bibliographical ma
terial. George S. Goddard. state librari-
an. and Henry M. Whitney, of Bran-
ford, spoke of the additional yearly
appropriation of $2.000 voted by the
last Legislature for the extension of the
work of the Connecticut Public Library
Committee, which now has seventy
free town libraries under tis charge,
traveling libraries, traveling pictures
and a salaried visitor and inspector,
who is a trained librarian.
Miss Hewins. of the Hartford Public
Library, read a paper "A Librarian‘s
Vacation." Dr. Newton, of the Board
of Trustees. of the Kent Memorial Ll-
brary. invited the association to visit
anti to ditto at. the Suifield Hotel.
The closing paper of the morning
was by Mrs. Samuel Richards Weed
of New York and Rowayton. regent. of
the Norwalk Chapter of the Dauglr
tors of the American Revolution for five.
years. Her subject, “The Treasure-
house of historical records." was a plea
for the preservation in town libraries
of the vallxable letters and historical
documents which may be found in the
attics of every Connecticut town, and
should be kept as carefully as manti-
scri to are kept in the Bodleian Libra-
ry d the British Museum, or the let-
ters of Columbus in Genoa. Matty val-
uable papers were saved by men and
women in Norwalk when the town was
burned by the British in the Revolution.
it is something to be thankful for that,
our ancestors knew how to write and
keep journals. The difference between
the Dutch settlers of New York and the
pioneers of New England was the dif-
ference between those who knew
enough to keep family records in writ-
ing and those who did not.
immense strides have been madedn
twenty years in New England and the
Middle States in the collection and
presevation of historical material. Such
work as this is what the smelled histor-
ical associations should do.
The place for manuscript records and
letters is in public libraries. In Nor-
walk prises are offered In tho schools
for essays on the history of the town,
and the Public Library is much used in
preparing them. Encouragement should
be given by legislation or town aid for
manuscripts, records, data. all matters
regarding churches. etc. We can judge
from loan exhibitions what historical
treasures there are in towns. Church
records have been stored away in gar-
rets or eaten by rats. Many are in the
possession of elderly people who would
entrust. them to a library. Mrs. Weed
recommends systematic search fo pa-
pers of historical value and spo of
the old house in Norwalk from which
the grandfather and grandmother of
General Sherman and his brother John
emigrated to Ohio, probably carrying
with them letters and papers which
would be priceless now if they could be
found. We should study concentration
of interests through making libraries
depositoriea. and commit to writing all
possible information about families.
events, etc.. before It is too late. and
fill our shelves with historical records.
When the walls of Jerusalem were to
be built. the prophet said. “Build every
man over and against his own house,"
and if we follow this, the result cannot
but be satisfactory to our posterity.
The, afternoon exercises were of a
very interesting character, including
addresses by prominent librarians and
others of the state and a vocal and in-
strumental program.

Tried in Supari Court.
Agnes H. Wheeler. ecutrix of the

Everett E. Wheeler h it brought suit
against Sarah A. lie 0nd on two
counts claiming $2. 600 nd costs of the
suit. The case will come up before the
Superior Court in Bridgeport on the
first Tuesday in November.
In the writ, which was issued by
James T, Hubbell. commissioner of the
Superior Court, it is claimed that the
plaintiff was married to Mr. Wheeler
on July 10, 1900. the latter dying on
May 16, 1902, and at the time of his
death she was his lawful wife and is
therefore his widow. The papers state
that his will was admitted to probate
and the plaintiff was made the execu~
trix. On March 15. 1992. Wheeler ex-
ecuted a deed wherein the defendant
in the present suit who the grantee.
The deed is claimed to be vague. in-
definite and indeterminate in its de-
scription of the property conveyed.
At the time of making this deed it
is claimed that Wheeler was seriously
ill, weak, infirm and of unsound mind
and therefore incapacitated from at-
tending to buslnma.
it is further claimed that on March
Ill, 1902. the defendant; taking advant-
age of the decedant' physical and
utental incapacity and . y overpersuas-
ion and influence. pro red the execu-
tion of the deed in he favor, thereby
delaying and hinderi the creditors
of the estate from g ting their due.
It is stated that b reason of the
said conveyance made nd procured as
stated. the estate of he deceased is
without assets to meet the expenses
of administration and“ to pay its just
debts.
The second count goes on to state
that Wheeler had money deposited in
the South Norwalk Savings Bank. The
plaintiff does not know the amount.
The plaintiff has been informed that
about March 15, 1902 be transfered the
bank book to the defendant. without
consideration.
The plaintiff claims on the first
count $2.000 judgement, that the deed
is null and void and that the defendant
produce the deed to be cancelled.
‘ On the second count 8500.00 damages
is claimed and she asks for an ac-
counting for the proceeds of the bunk
book transferred.
John J. Haulon, of Norwalk. is recog-
nized in the sum of $75.00 to prosecute.

State Normal School
Vilad An Explosion
Student Wag Mixing Acids in the Lab-
oratory. When the Apparatus
was Shattered.
An explosion occurred Wednesday
morning, in the chemical laboratory at
the State Normal school, in New Hav-
en. which resulted in serious injury to
one of the students, Miss Helen Stan-
ton. of 112 Farren avenue, New Ha-
ven. An investigation to ascertain the
cause of the explosion has been begun
by the authorities at the school.
It is presumed that the explosion re-
sulted from the improper mixing of
acids used in making demonstrations
in the laboratory. Miss Stanton was
using sulphuric acid. and some other
chemical in forming a combination and
while engaged in the demonstration
the explosion occurred.
The chemical apparatus that was
used was shattered and broken frag-
ments of glass were blown in all di-
rections. A quantity of the acid spat-
tered into Miss Stanton's face, and
some of it got into her eyes. She suf-
fered intense pain, and after temporary
treatment at the Normal school she
was sent to her home. She has since
been under the care of Dr. E. K. Rob-
erto.
The physician said yesterday that
the girl's eye was badly burned by the
acid. but it is yet too early to tell
whether the sight will be permanent-
ly injured.
Miss Stanton graduated from the
Hilihouse high school. last June, and
entered the Normal school last Septem-
her. Her sister, Miss Mae F. Stanton.
is a teacher in the Woodward school.

James C. Stanton. a tea merchant.

BURIED IN POTTER’B FIELD.‘
Man Who Died In Freight Car Was Not
Identified.
He died alone in a freight car be-
tween here and New York. He was
buried yesterday in the Potter's Field.
without the benefit of a prayer said
over his grave. Such is the closing
chapter of a life. No one identified the
body of the unfortunate tramp, who.
was found in a freight car betwee'n
here and Rowayton early in the week.
No one knewwho he was or in all
probability ever ’will. His death was
as if he had dropped out of sight in a
fissure of the earth. Somewhere prob
ably that unknown'man has a family
who will go on for years believing that
he is alive and may come home again.
The funeral was held yesterday.
There was not a mourner. The body
was taken from Raymond's undertak-
ing rooms to the Potter’s Field. and
there lt_was but. . . ' and the
earth covered It . \. No minister
was present to say a prayer for him.
and tomorrow he w“? forgotten.
