Thrown Out in North Main

Senator Jeremiah Donovan and Ham

hllid the senator's handsome and splri
lted team of horses early this morn-
ing, figured in an exciting mishap at
the corner of the Mahackemo Hotel,
near the Washington street bridge,
but fortunately neither were very aer-
iotisly injured.
Senator Donovan leaves his real—
deuce in West street every morning
about 6 o'clock for the purpose of
driving to Westport. and giving the
horses needed exercise. This morning
he overtook Mr. Froeb. who was to
take the 6:20 train for South Wilton.
and invited him to ride. Mr, F‘roeb
accepted, and all went well until the
hotel cornermas reached, when it, is
supposed that one of the wheels of
the carriage struck the trolley track,
and in an instant the vehicle was
overturned. At the. same time thr
seat of the wagon broke, and Messrs.
Donovan and F‘roob were thrown it
the stone pavement. Mr. Donovan
retained his hold on the reins. and was
dragged up Norti. Main street, a dis-
tance of over a hundred feet, to Mr.
Frocb‘s place of business, when Mt-
chaei Shcchan ran out, and caught tbv
horses, bringing them to a standstill.
Senator Donovan and Mr. Freer
were'badly shaken up and bruised
and their clotltlng was covered with
mud. bill they considered themselves
lucky to have escaped so easily. The
only other damage done was to the
wagon.
Mr. Fret-b was able to take the train
for South Wilton, and later Senator
Donovan set out for his duties'at the
state Legislature in Hartford.

he realized the meaning of the death
warrant.
Rabbi lloffeitberg, who was an old
schooitnale of Marx iti Warsaw, has
been acting as his spiritual adviser,
ind will remain with him to the end.
Warden Garvin said today that the
condemned man's physical health is
good. considering that he is over 70
years old. During most of his im-
prisonment he has Eit'pi. wril am.

heavier than when he entered the Ili—

A permit for the burial has been
granted, and two Hebrew mutcrtakr
crs will take charge of the body. The
burial will be in a Jewish-cemetery.
Pavol Rodocki. the victim of the
murder, was it Russian. Marx took
film to work on his farm for six
months, and under the agreement Ro-
decki was not to receive any modelt
for his services iintil the end of the
six months. A short time before the
expiration of this period, in April.
1904, itoilccki suddenly disappeared
'lflii Marx said he had paid him 853
duc him'uud that thc man had gone
way. A few days later the body of
the farm hand was found in an abatt-
timed cellar on the Marx farm. The
liiilii was crushed and the body ctit
iito four sections. each section being
wrapped in rough sacking.
immediately after the finding of the
body Marx was missing, lult was lo—
cated after it long search in New
York. where it was said he was about
to sail for Europe. He had shaved
ills board, so that his appearance was
greatly uttered. After his capture and
return to New London county. the
officers in searching about the Marx
farm canto upon another body similar-
ly dismembered and buried in an Out
of the way place. The skull of. this
body was also crushed in. There was
theory that this wan the body of
another man who had formerly work-
ed for Marx, Paul Parker, and who
'iitliillpi’ilf'ed suddenly as Rodeckl did.
Marx said that Parker had been puii’
off and had gone to Pennsylvania to
work in the coal mines.
The Supreme Court recently denied
alt application for a new trial for
Marx and afterward his effort to get
his sentence changed to impr'aonuieni
for life was unsuccessful. Mrs. Marx.
his wife, was indicted for first degree
murder with him. but. he moved for
a separate trial. She has never been
tried and it is probable that on ac-

For years manufacturers of paper
boxes have been trying to devise some
way. to avoid a large percentage of
waste in the narrow strips of paper
with which the edges of paper boxes
are botiiid. This paper comes in rolls
and as the roll was uscd well down
toward the end it became necessary to
throw away a very considerable
amount of the paper to avoid a stop-
page of the machinery which would
cause iuiich loss of time. if the end
of the paper was reached and run
through. This machine saves all the
waste paper and by ro-wlndlng the
ends of thc rolls saves the companies
a large amount annually. One has
been in operation for sortie flute at the

DESPERATELY WITH POLICE
One Man is Beiletied to Have
Fired the Shot Which Caused:
the Death of Eight-Year-Cld'
Boy
CHlCAGO, May 17.-—~Two colored
strikebreakers. Jesse Ballinger and
James Jones. one of whom is believed
to have fired a shot that resulted
in the death of an eight-year~old
schoolboy, Enoch Carlson, were arrest.
ed today after desperately resisting
the police. They are employee f the
Peabdoy Coal Company, which has
been active in attempting with non-
union teamsters to deliver coal at the
public schools and has been resisted
.by strikes of hundreds of pupils at
the schools. The shooting of Carlson
followed the jeering of colored non-un-
ion en by a number of schoolboys
who were playing ball in a vacant
lot.
Until the ardor of the school chil-
dren has cooled no more. deliveries
of ‘non-union" coal will be made at the
public school buildings unless abso~
luteiy necessary, This announcement
is made by officials of the board of ed-
ucation. who believe that. “ an ounce
of prevention is worth a potind of
cure." The decision to stop the de-
liveries of coal by non-union drivers
was reached after the compulsory ed-
ucation department had but down
strikes at six schools and after the
disturbance had been caused at seven
other schools.
Samuel Goinpers, president of the
American li‘eileration of Labor, was the
central tigtire in the beamsters' strike
situation today. His presence was
regarded as offering hope of peace, but
the strikers still demanded arbitration
which the employers had resolutely re
fuseil as to the garment workers in
whose behalf the teamsters quit work
six weeks ago. Mr. Gombors met the
labor leaders toda at the Briggs
House. Just befo 0 going into this
conference he said: i am not in a
position to say what will or will not.
