Michael Lynch the Vicilm.
Last even-ing as Samuel Foster was
at his home on Wilton avenue, his at-
tention was attracted to cries that
seemed to come from near the Cather-
ine street railroad crossing, which is
near by. He listened and the cry was
repeated. He then proceeded to inves-
tigate as to the cause, and found a man
lying alongside the railroad tracks.
The man Said “turn me over I am
freezing to death.” Mr. Foster went
back to the house and securing a lan-
tern, with his cousin George Foster re-
turned to wherethe man lay.
On investigation he .found that the
poor fellow had met with an accident
by falling from Conductor Weiler’s
train which had passed down the road
a few moments before.
A door was secured and the man was
placed on it. Inlifting him from the
snow it was found that both of his legs
were separated from his body. He
was carried to Mr. Frank Foster’s barn
near by, and Doctors Huntington and
Baldwm summoned.
It was learned that the unfortunate
man’s name was Michael Lynch. that
he was the only son of a widowed
mother who lived in New Milford, and
that he was engaged asa brakeman.
He said that at the time of the acci-
dent he was attempting to.climb up the
side of the car but that his hands were
so benumbed with the coldhe lost his
hold and fell between the cars, the
wheels passing over his legs.
Even as he was talking he was so
chilled through he did not fully realize
the extent of his injuries. He asked
the doctor though if he thought his in-
juries would prove fatal, and on being
answered in the affirmative cried out
“Oh what will my poor mother think.
Give her my lbve,” etc.
Dr. Huntington administered a hy-
perdermic injection to allay the pain
and quiet him.
In the meantime on the arrival of
the train at the station Lynch was
missed by Conductor Weiler,’ and a.
brakeman was sent back with a lantern,
the train also slowly backing up.‘ It
was feared that Lynch had fallen from
the train as he was known to have been
all right after the train left Winni-
pauk. The train was signalled by
young Foster and stopped.
The unfortunate man was then placed
in the caboose and taken to South
Norwalk accompanied by Dr. Hunt-
ington and Mr. Foster. He was placed
in the baggage room of the Consol-
idated road and Coronor Burke sum-
moned. There being no chance of his
survivmg no surgical operation was
performed. The
enough lived until 5 o’clock this morn-
ing when he died. He remained in a
semi-conscious state until the last.
His mother has been advised of the
terrible accident. The remains were
taken to Gregory’s morgue.

State Board of Trade.
Nearly seventy~five members of the
State Board of Trade assembled at
Bridgeport. yesterday, those from N or-
walk being Messrs. E. J. Hill and O.
E. Wilson. The meeting was called to
order by President J. D. Dewell of
New Haven. He then read his annual
report in which he referred to the
growth of the board during the year
and alluded to the reception of the
new members. The report of Treas-
urer Barnes was then read and showed
an expenditure during the year of $281.-
92, with a balan’cenow on hand of
$2.73. The report was accepted.
Messrs. C. B. Ware of New London
and F. B. Rice of .Waterbury were ap-
pointed tellers, and the election of of-
ficers was begun. President J. D.
Dewell was renominated, and on mo-
tion one ballot was cast for him by the
secretary. Mr- Dewell has held the
office since the organization of the
state board three .years ago. He ex-
pressed thanks for the honor conferred
upon him. He spoke of the import-
ance of the board, and advised all the
local boards to co-operate with the state
board in advancing the interests of the
Nutmeg state. ’
The following vice-presidents were
then elected: C. B. Brothwell of Bridge-
port, Frederic ill of Groton,;H. W.
Spencer of Guilford, P. H. Woodward
of Hartford, R. O. Cheney of Man-
chester, John McGinley of New Lon-
don, E. J. Hill of Norwalk, H. H. Gal-
lup of Norwich, T. H. McKenzie of
Southington, F. M. Raymond, T. C.
Richards of \Vinsted, C.. H. Nettleton
of Birmingham. J. B. Buckland of
Mystic Valley, N. C. Downs of Stam-
ford and J. M. Bailey of Danbury.
Among the subjects discussed were
a bill for regulating itinerent venders ;
the question of interchangeable mil-
eage tickets; the question of a perma-
nent census bureau. “
The report of the committee on the
improvement of roads was read. The
commitee has held several meetings
and appomted a sub-committee, which
conferred with Judge H. C. Robinson,
and drew up a bill which they presen-
ted to the board for adoption. They
recommended that a committee of five
be appointed to present the bill to the
Legislature, advocate its passage, and
secure an appropriation to carry out
its provisions.
. The bill provides for the appoint-
ment of a highway commission of
three members who shall virtually
have entire charge of the roads of the
state. The report was accepted and a
motion for the adoption of the recom-
mendation made.
The matter was discussd by P H
the bill would revolutionize the system
of caring for the roads which for years .
have been under the care of the towns.
“The expenses would, be too heavy for
the smaller and poorer towns.” He
said: “The increase of boards and
offices tended to take the power out of
the hands of the people. Such com-
missions arehouses of refuge for de-
cayed politicians and it is they who fill
them. The only object of the men who
fill them often is to perpetuate their
own ofiices and the less of them we
have the better. -
E. J. Hill of Norwalk said: ”The
condition-of aroad is determined by
the worst spot in it. The roads should
be improved by the state. A bill! is to-
‘be introduced -to give each ‘town .not
more than $10,000, to. be used onhigh-
ways, if the town will expend a like

come, and they might better come un-‘
der the charge of the state. I'move to
strike out the figures in the bill. ” The
bill provides that the expenses for road
improvement should not exceed $150,-
000 in any one year. The amendment
was accepted by the committee and the
recommendation as amended adopted
With but a singlegvote against it, Mr.
Woodward being the hopeless minori-
ty. A form of petition to the Legisla-
ture was then presented by the com-
mittee and it was voted that a copy ”of
it be sent to each local board. ' ~
The report of the committee on the
fortification of Long IslandSound was
read, and the committee continued for
another year. '. ~ ' . ‘
The question of the registration of _
partnerships was next taken up, and
after considerable discussion the re-
port was accepted. 'Mr. E. J. Hill
thought it was interfering, with private
business and opposed the proposed bill.
The following resolution was then
passed : , _
“That the Connecticut state board
of trade urge upon the Legislature the
adoption of" such legislation as will
compel the registration of partnerships,
and of firms doing business under as-
sumed names and as agents for others. ”
. The sewage and several other ques-
tions were brought before the meeting
but no action was taken on them.
The selection of the meeting place
for next year was left to the president
and secretary. New London will prob-
ably be selected.

'I‘ne Strawberry of the. Sea.
“ (if all of nature’s choicest medicines
presented temptingly under the guise of
adelicious food none is superior to the
common clam, which is found in abund-
ance along our Atlantic- coast,” said
Prof. H. H. Nicholson, of Baltimore, at
the Southern yesterday. “ The scientists
have bestowed upon this succulent bi-
valve the scandalous name of Venus
mercenaria, and the Indians have ap-
plied the name quohaug to it. But no
matter what it may be called, it is first
and best of the numerous family to
which it belongs, and is one of human-
ity’s boons. Many believe that the clam
istough and indigestible. It is, how-
ever, only, tough and India-rubbery
when man mistreats it. I don’t
believe that Providence intended
clams to be cooked any more
than the strawberry. Both are finished
1 roducts. masterpieces in their respective
kingdoms, and should never be put over
a fire. The sand clam, however, should
be cooked. He should first be stuffed
through his siphon with finely minced
salt pork; then the shells should be
wired together and the clam baked. To
eat a few sand clams so prepared will
place a lingering joy in the remembrance
of an epicure. But the ordinary round
clam should not be cooked. His juicy
flesh cannot be improved by fire. He
makes the best dish in the world, pleas-
ing flavor, nutritious and easily digested.
I tell you the clam is the strawberry of
the sea—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Indian Temples Chiseiea in Solid Stone.
Mayalipuram, India, is graced with
seven of the most remarkable temples in
the world, each of these unique places of
worship having been fashioned from
solid granite bowlders. Some idea of
their size may be gleaned from the fact
that the smallest of the seven is twenty-
four feet high, seventeen feet long and
twelve feet wide, and is divided into up-
per and lower stories.
The “ Hevasa-Goda~Cla,” the largest
of the seven, is three and one-half stories
high, its outlines resembling those of an
Atlantic steamship.
The inside of the bowlder has been
chiseled away until the walls do not ex-
ceed eight inches in thickness. The two
floors above that of the foundation are
each about a foot in thickness, and seem
as solid as the rock of ages. The upper
stories are reached by a spiral stairway
carved from the same piece of granite.
The second largest of these single-stone
and seventeen feet long,ornamented with
four crouching lions and two elephants,
all carved from the same bowlder which
goes to make up the main building.—
