Frank Gilbert, engineer, of tpvaterbury, was scalded about the hand and came to this city on the switcher which brought Templeton here. The cause of the explosion it is stat ed.

The locomotive was completely ■wrecked and the wreckage strewn about over the tracks while the road bed was also tom up for some distance. Traffic over the lines was blocked and It required most of the day to clear away tho obstruction. In the mean time all trains were sent around by the way of New Haven. COLONIAL RIGHTS Are Looked After In New British nmfric«n nrguraiion I reaty. London, April 9.—The arbitration treaty between America and Great Britain, the text of which has been cabled over here from America, has been well received. Particularly those Interested In colonial affairs welcome the clause under which Great Britain reserves the right before concluding an agreement on any matter effecting a self-governing dominion, to obtain the concurrence therein of this tardy acknowledgement of the importance of the colonies and a wise departure from the old method of negotiating with re spect to colonial affairs without con sulting the interests of the colonies a course which heretofore has led to dls £atlsfa,ctipn on the part of the colonies. There Is also favorable comment on the reservation that agreements made under this treaty shall not be binding until they have been confirmed by the two governments concerned by an ex change of notes; this clause is consid ered necessary in view of the obllga ttbn to submit Amerlcaif agreements to the Senate for ratification. GOV. GUILD IMPROVES. Reoovery, Though Will Be Slow, Is Now Confidently Expected. Boston, April 9.—The condition of Gov. Curtis Guild has shown such t, favorable progress during the present week that his relatives and immediats friends look for hts recovery. They admit, however, that it will be quite a long while before the governor can be as active as before his Illness. The attending physicians do not say posi tively that Gov. Guild's recovery is assur|d, but the Guild family physi cian, Dr. Winslow, made a very en couraging statement tonight. Dr. Winslow said: “The governor had a very good day, and for the last few days there has been a marked change for the better f Ip. bis condition. His convalescence Is now progressing favorably." Dr. Winslow also said that his late evening visits to the sick chamber were discontinued tonight, and that hereafter there would probably be no more late night bulletins. THE TEUTONIC WINS. Outstrips Carenia 1 Hour and 27 Min utes In Race Across Atlantic. New Tork, April 9.—After a close and exciting race which began at Dpunt's rock in Queenstown harbor April 2, the trans-Atlantic liners Teu tonic of the White Star Line and the Caronia of the Cunard Line arrived here' today. Although the Teutonic made the trip In 6 days, 21 hours ami 6 'minutes, outstripping the Caronia by 1 hour and 26 minutes, the admir erk of the latter boat claim that only thfe fog of last evening made her the loser In the race of over 2887 miles. The Caronia started 37 minutes be fojrei the Teutonic, but the steamships were never more than 10 miles apart, leading alternately. The race furnish ed' the passengers with exceptional amusement during the passage. Campbell-Bannerman Hat Fair Night. London, April 9.—The bulletin Is sued this morning regarding the tt'KeUth of the former Premier.

At the time when she complained to the authorities that her brother had been murdered by her husband, it was believed that Carkins had committed suicide. ADMIRAL EVANS' ILLNE8S Seems to Be More Serious Than Has Been Admitted. Paso Robles Hot Springs, Calif, April 9.—While the rheumatism has almost disappeared and Admiral Evans' general condition has improved greatly. Dr. McDonnoid and Lieut. Phillips admitted today that other complications will make permanent improvement slow. They declined, however, to state the nature of the complications. Admiral Evans was feeling cheerful this morning and was looking for ward with much pleasure to the com ing of his wife and daughter, who were expected to arrive with Lieut. Evans this afternoon. Lieut. Evans’ departure for Los Angeles to accompany his mother here was no Conbt to prepare her for the great change In her husband. That she will be greatly shocked when she sees him was admit ted. But a mere shadow of his former self, his pale drawn face furrowed with many deep lines, his body emaciated, his knees and ankles so enlarged and de formed as to be very noticeable through his clothing, there is not much physical resemblance to the man who stood on the bridge of the Connecticut leading his great fleet out of Hampton Roads less than four months ago. He weighed then 175 pounds; now he weighs hardly 120. FAMILY ARRIVES. Roar Admiral Evans’ Wife, Son and Daughter Are Now With. Paso Robles Hot Springs, Calif., April 9.—Mrs. Robley D. Evans and her daughter, Mrs. Charlotte C. Marsh, arrived here late today and Joined Rear Admiral Evans at the Hot springs. Their coming cheered him greatly. Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Marsh were accompanied by Lieut. Frank Taylor Evans, who went to Los Angeles to meet them, Mayor A. C. Harper of Los Angeles and a number of person al freinds. Lieut. Col. George M. Torney, de partment surgeon general at San Francisco, who is a personal friend of Admiral Evans, was here last Sun day and Monday, and made a thorough examination of him. He agreed with Dr. McDonald, surgeon of the Con necticut, who is in charge of Admiral Evans.-dhat the proper course of treat ment was being followed. Dr. Torney will come to the springs again tomor row or Saturday. Now that the admiral's rheumatism has been greatly relieved by the treat ment here the efforts of the physicians will be directed toward building his strength. COVERED WITH GLORY. Torpedo Boats Did Finely on Long Cruise Around the Horn. San Francisco, April 9.—A wireless dispatch received today from Magda lena bay says that the second flotilla of torpedo boats arrived April 5, a day ahead of schedule time. The steamer Arethusa, which started out with the flotilla as a convoy but which was not able to keep up with It, arrived April 6. The Trukton will begin target prac tice tomorrow. The little vessels cov ered themselves with glory by their fine behavior on the long run out, proving their seaworthiness. All the ships are being painted and made ready for the run up the California coast. The British cruiser Cressy will de part from Port Au Prince Saturday next and will be followed two days later by the German cruiser Bremen. With the departure of the two cruis ers, only the American warships, the cruiser Des Moines and the gunboat Marietta and Paducah, will be left on guard. As an illustration of the huge amount of capital awaiting solid in vestment in London it is announced that the first day’s applications for the county councils 3^ per cent, loan of $13,750,000 issued at par amounted to $500,000,000. DIDN’T KNOW That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble. So common is the use of coffee as a beverage, many do not know that it is the cause of many obscure ails which are often attributed to other things. The easiest way to find out for one self Is to quit the coffee for a while, at least, and note results. A Virginia lady found out in this way, and also learned of a new beverage that is wholesome as well as pleasant to drink. She writes: “I am 40 years old and all my life, up to a year and a half ago, I had been a coffee drinker. About ten years ago, I had dyspepsia so bad that often the coffee I drank would sour on my stomach and I could not retain It. "Severe headaches and heart weak ness made me feel sometimes as though I were about to die. After drinking a cup or two of hot coffee, not knowing it was harmful, my heart would go like a clock without a pendulum. At other times it would almost stop and I was so nervous I did not like to be alone. "If I took a walk for exercise, as soon as I was out of sight of the house I’d feel as if I was sinking and this would frighten me terribly. My limbs would utterly refuse to support me, and the pity of it all was, I did not know that coffee was causing the trouble. "Reading in the papers that mnay persons were relieved of such ailments by leaving off coffee and drinking Postum, I got my husband to bring home a package. We made it accord ing to directions and I liked the first cup. Its rich snappy flavour was delicious. “V have been using Postum about eighteen months and to my great joy, digestion is good, my nerves and heart are all right, in fact. I am a well woman once mpre. thanks to Postum.’’ “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. BURGLARS ROUTED. Early Morning Visitors at Lynn Surprised at Work. Seize Women anil Threaten to Kill Them It Alarm Is Sounded. Jump Through Window Sosh to Es oope—Suspect Caught. Lynn, Mass., April 9.—An early morn ing burglary in which revolvers were used freely and which resulted later In the arrest of one of the alleged burglars, was committed here Thurs day. Shortly before 3 A. M., Mrs. Ju lia Fenton, the widow of the late M. A. Fenton and her maid, Mabel Ma han. were awakened in the Fenton residence on Boston street by two men grabbing them and threatening to kill them if they made any noise. Despite this threat one of the women screamed, her cries awakening Fenton Hopkins, a relative of Mrs. Fenton, who lodged in another part of the house. Hopkins quickly obtained his revol ver and fired a shot out of the win dow. The burglars then fled down 'stairs from Mrs. Fenton’s chamber into the dining room. Hopkins pur sued them and locating them in the dining room, fired several shots at them, none of which is known to have taken effect. The burglars made a dash for a window and plunged through the sash and escaped. They carried with them a bag containing about $50 worth of silver that had been gathered from the sideboard. Other bags full of plunder were found in different parts of the house. An hour later a man who was identi fied as Charles El. McIntyre of this city, was arrested in E’ederal square. He was hatless and bootless and was bleeding profusely from wounds in his face and wrists, the cuts apparently having been made with broken glass. A search of the Fenton premises re sulted in the finding of a coat and hat alleged by the police to belong to Mc Intyre on the piazza of the house. In one of the pockets of the coat was a 50-foot coil of rope and it is the belief of the police that the burglars intend ed to bind the occupants of the house. McIntyre was taken to a. hospital where his wounds were dressed, after which he was locked up at the police station on a charge of burglary. He will probably appear in court Friday., CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Count Uiueseppe Torneilli Brusati Di Vergano, the Italian ambassador to France, died Thursday in Paris from hemorrhage of the brain following influ enza. Count Tomielli was one of the best-known diplomats in the Italian ser vice. He headed the Italian delegation to the second peace conference at The Hague. Counsel for Earl V. Jacques, who last week at Providence was convicted of the murder of Miss Mary Eddy at Greenville Jan. 3, filed a motion for a new trial in the superior court Thurs day. Counsel claimed that the verdict was against the law and against the evidence and that new evidence has been discovered. The Cunard Steamship Co., according to a report issued Thursday at Liverpool, has had a fairly prosperous year. After providing for the usual depreciation and allocating $500,000 toward writing off the cost of new ships, the directors recom mend a dividend of 5 per cent, and that the company carry forward $545,000 as against $270,000 last year. George Wharton Pepper, receiver for the Bay State Gas Co. of Delaware, filed his second report in the United States circuit court at Boston Thursday. The account shows that on March IS, 1907, he had received $1,414,428 and that up to April 1st he had received as interest on that amount $37,761 and expended $684,347, leaving a balance at present of $767,742 Lorenz D. Kneeland, 55 years old, for mer senior member of the firm of Knee land, Clement Curtis, committed sui cide Thursday at Chicago by shooting himself in tho head. Mr. Kneeland was a member of the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Stock Exchange, but retir ed from active business about a year and a half ago and had been in ill health for some time. The stockholders of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co., which is now through lease a subsidiary property of the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad, Thursday held the annual meet ing and elected directors at New Haven. The financial statement showed a funded debt of $13,465,700. The balance sheet showed a construction and equipment ac count of $31,878,800. A suit brought by the Pennsylvania Su gar Refining Co. to recover penalties of $30,000,000 from the American Sugar Re fining Co. for alleged conspiracy to ruin the Pennsylvania Co. was dismissed by Judge Holt in the United States circuit court of New York Thursday. The ac tion was brought under the Serman anti trust act. Judge Holt ruled that the com plainant had no remedy under this act, but said that there should be legal re dress for the minority stockholders of the Pennsylvania Co. because the com plaint indicated that the American Sugar Refining Co. had destroyed that corpor ation to further interests which were greater in another direction. French engineers have lately made successful tests of w ireless telegraphy between the lofty observatories on the crown of Mont P.lanc and the valley of Chamonix. It had been feared that the absence of moisture in the frozen surface might interfere with the earth connection, but no such trouble was ex perienced. The only difficulty arose when the threatening current dynamos of the electric light system in Chamo nix were at work. At such times the wireless messages could not be trans mitted nor received. Callao, Peru, needs to have its har bor facilities improved. It is not un common for vessels to be detained four or five or even six weeks before they can begin to discharge a cargo. On December 5 there were five British ships awaiting their turns to unload, one of which had been there for forty eight days. HUGHE3 URGES LEGISLATION. (Continued from Page One.) demanding the passage of the anti-race track gambling bills. AN EXTRA SESSION Of Legislature May Be Called If Race Track Bills Fail to Pass. Albany. N. Y„ April 9.—Governor Hughes has decided to call a special elec tion for the election of a successor to the late Senator Franchot, Republican, who represented the counties of Niagara and Orleans. The call will probably be for May 12. There was also an authoritative intima tion from the executive chamber that “if necessary, and it will probably be,’" an extra session of the Legislature will be called by the governor to begin May 11. It is known that in calling a special elec tion for May 12 the governor has in mind the intention to call an extra session for May 11 should the Legislature fail to act upon his recommendations as em bodied in the special message sent to the Legislature today. The new senator would thus occupy a seat from the be ginning of the extra session. It was suggested to the governor that certain opponents of the race track legis lation, had stated that in the event of an extra session being called, a recess would be taken until the end of the year. The governor smiled but refused to discuss the matter. CREATES A SENSATION. Gov. Hughes Vetoes One Bill—With drawal Alone Saves Another. Albany, N. Y., April 9.—Governor Hughes today vetoed a bill of Senator Wemple and would have vetoed also a bill of Senator Grattan had not the senator recalled it from the executive chamber. The Senate received the message with every evidence of surprise. Sena tors Grady and McCarren, w'ho were leaders in the successful opposition to the gambling bills yesterday took the occasion to make bitter attacks upon Governor Hughes. Senator McCarren suggested “that a respectful message be sent to the Governor advising him to mind his own business.” Senator Raines, the majority leader, promptly resented this manner of re ceiving the message and upon his mo tion the various recommendations were referred to committees. In the Assembly the message caused no less of a sensation. Minority Leader Palmer characterized the message as scolding.” MISDIRECTED REFORMS. August Belmont So Charaterizes Gov. Hughes’ Recommendations. New York, April 9.—August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club, said today concerning the failure to pass the anti gambling bills at Albany: ‘‘The community is to be congratulated on the failure of the governor’s so-called anti-race track legislation. If it is final it is still more to be congratulated. The measures are misdirected reforms. Rac ing will now be assured. Such evils as surround betting at the courses, and are curable, have brighter prospects for cor rection and regulation. This is, and has been, the aiip o£ .the Jockey Club. It has always had the earliest co-operation of the Racing Association and has the as surance of the same in the future. NEW HAMP^hlRE MELODISTS. Routine Business Transacted At Thursday’s Session. Keene, N. H., April 9.—Today’s meetings of the 79th annual session of the New Hampshire conference of the Methodist Episcopal church were of the usual conference routine nature, including the daily opening devotional service, a business session which de veloped little of importance and the anniversary meeting and services svhich constituted the program in the afternoon. Rev. Dr. C. L Goodell of New York was one of the speakers to address the anniversary meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary Society in the after noon. Bishop Burt of Zurich, Switzerland, presided at today’s session. The busi ness meeting which occupied 'the en tire forenoon was attended by nearly 200 delegates. It was voted to send a telegram to Senator J. H. Callinger at Washington requesting that immediate action be taken on the Bennings race track bill now before the United States Senate. The conference went on rec-. ord by a vote of 67 to 12 as opposed 'to the proposition of having special bishops for special races and lan guages. The conference also declared its opposition to the proposed change in the representation of the minor con ferences in the general conference. METHODISTS AT WORCESTER. New England Conference Will Choose Delegates Today. Worcester, Mass., April 9.—The single business session provided for in today's program of meetings in connection with the 112th annual session of the New Eng land Conference of the Methodist Episco pal church was occupied largely in dis posing of the routine matters necessary to clearing the way for more important business. v It was anticipated that most of tomor row’s session would be occupied with the election of ministerial and law delegates to the quadrennlel general conference at Baltimore May 6, and the conference worked hard today to clear up the rou tine business and facilitate an early elec tion. The opening devotional service to day was led by Rev. Eugene N. Antrim. The principal address at the morning session was by Bishop W. F. Wallalieu of Auburndale, whose remarks were lis tened to by a large audience. The after noon was devoted to a meeting of the conference veterans and the annual ses sion of the Missionary Society. At the latter meeilng Rev. L. J. Bimey of New ton Center delivered the address. CONFERENCE OF WOMEN Engaged In Work Among Unitarian Churches In New England.

S., April 9.—Rival Cape Breton industrial interests are now arrayed in one of the biggest battles that has ever taken place before a House of Assembly committee over the bill introduced by the commis sioner of works and mines to give the government power to readjust the boundaries of submarine coal areas in the county of Cape Breton. One suit is at present in the courts over this matter, J. T. Burchell hav ing brought suit against the Dominion Coal Co. some time ago, claiming a number of areas held by them, and he has also entered an application for areas held by the Nova Scotia Steel Co. This bill provides for settle ment of such disputes by the govern ment instead of in the courts. JUDGE GRAY’S BOOM For Democratic Presidential Nomina tion Launched In Philadelphia.

Mayor Simonton is deeply in terested in the matter and feels that Ellsworth should arrange a monster dem onstration in honor of the day. With the new Lake Leonard all kinds of water sports could be pulled off, and the big lam itself would be an attraction.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. BASEBALL. Beaumont Reports to lie Kelley In Good Sbspe. Mtinire Doesn’t Like the Idea el Bones For Players. ft Implra Harris Sacs Chisago Play ers For Assaatt. Harrisburg, Pa., April 9.—Clarence Beaumont, the tawny-topped outfield er of the Boston Nationals, reached bore Wednesday morning and was among the first to greet Manager Joe Kelley and the rest of the Boston ■quad when they came in from Balti more. Beaumont looks to be in the best of shape, and says he has been putting In some very hard work self-training at his place. Honey Creek, Wis. There was a rumor that Beaumont had notified the Boston team that this would be his last year in baseball. When asked about this Beaumont said: “I will not stick to it much longer. However, as long as my legs do not trouble me 1 do not see why I should not play. I was ready to quit year be fore last, and had Barney Dreyfus not been so kind to me I probably would have dropped out, for I thought I was all in. However, he would not listen to retirement talk, and now I am glad I took his advice. "I begin to feel old when I hear that my old chum Wagner is trying to break away from the game." IMRE DOESN’T LIKE RONUS IDEA. Cincinnati. April 9.—“I don’t think the Detrolts will repeat this year. Nor do I believe that Ty Cobb will show up as well ias he did last season." These views were expressed by Mana ger Jim Maguire, the old war horse lead er of the Boston Americans, while here tills week, "The Cobb idea,” said Jim, "is based bn. the fact that the club is offering a bonus for batting over .900 and fielding above .900 this year. That’s bad. With no extra money in sight last season, Cobb took many and many a seemingly Impossible chance, and landed a number of them. That made him one of the most sensational fielders in the business. With a golden bait hung on the end, the desire for a good fielding average is cer tain to influence his work.. Of-course he will do it unwittingly, but neverthe less he will play difficult chances more safely than he did last season. “And In the batting way it will be the same. The glare of the gold will blind bbn to the needs of ills team and make him work for Cobb. The results may be a larger batting average, but a decided shrinkage in his value to his team.”

Tim Jordan made two home runs and a triple in a game at Montgomery last Saturday. The Boston Nationals are shy on in fielders, but have an abundance of out fielders. The same conditions prevail with the Red Sox. Jimmie Collins is said to have re gained his old form. His four safe hits in the game Tuesday were practically responsible for the defeat of the Phil lies, while his all-round work did much to puli off the”ftrst game for the Ath letics. The Chicago Cubs were so well pleased with Vicksburg, Miss., for a training ground, that President Char ley Murphy is negotiating for a piece of ground in that city to build a ball park on, with the idea of training there for the next 10 years. In the games on Monday and Tues day the three Boston American out fielders got in 14 safe hits: Thoney and Gcssler five each and McHale four. All are fast men in the field and superior base runners. All this talk about changing the makeup of such an out field should be taken for what it is worth. Boston Globe: The National Com mission went a step too far when it made a mark of Jimmy Callahan by preventing tiie old player from taking part in bail games with national agree ment clubs. Callahan is no contract jumper. He quit major league ball af ter filling his contract with the White Sox and started an independent club in Chicago. The decision of the Na tional Commission in making an out law of Callahan will act as a boomer ang and make more friends for Jimmy in Chicago, where at the present time he is a great favorite.

But Goodman rushed at him all the time, landed short, straight lefts and any number of right chops on the jaw and stomach. At one time, when they were clinched, Goodman rushed Murphy so that he fell and went under the ropes. Toward the end of the round Murphy came like a cyclone, landed a straight right on Goodman’s nose that drew ..blood. In the last two rounds Good man seemed tired and took a number of stiff punches.

Bickford of Gorham has lately purchased of Dewer Rich of Portland a fine pair of horses for use in his business. They are twins and are a light bay In color. Irving Fogg, the well known horse man, is under contract with Mr. Olney L. Higgins of Dover to manage his stallion stable during the season of 1908, which will include three of the handsomest stallions in Maine— Vassar, Jr., by Vassar, 2.07; Gilbert, the Percheron stallion which Mr. Higgins bought of Mr. W. H. Hall last fall, and Colograph, will certainly command the attention of all admirers of good horses. William Cummings, a horseman that is well and favorably known in this locality, has recently bought three new horses that no doubt will be fast. Two of the horses are green pacers, one by Vassar, a sister to Northern Spy, 2.14%, and looks very much like him, the other a pacer, came from Indiana by Dumus and can hit a very fast clip. The third is a green trotter by Joe Patchen, 2.01%, dam by Fred Kohl 2.07%, and is a cracker-jack. The Lincoln Trotting Association is al ready making arrangements for a two days’ trot and carnival to be held on the association grounds in Lincoln, July 3 and 4. Charles W. Morse of this city has sold his trotting bread stallion, Torresdale, to Henry Hudson Son of Guilford. Torresdale is standard bred and registered foaled June 25, 1897.

Red Wilkes is the best son of George Wilkes, and had 167 in the 2.30 list,„ 22 in the 2.15 list, including Ralph Wilkes, 2.06%; Ituriel, 2.09%; Blanche Louise, 2.10; and Abbott Wilkes, 2.11. Red Wilkes has 95 producing sons and 120 producing daughters. Some of the best high actors and prize winners were by 'Red Wilkes. It is said that his sons have sired over 600 in the 2.30 list. The dam of Torresdale was Maggie H„ in the leading brood mare list having produced J. C„ 2.22%; Maggie Wilton, 2.25%, and Maggie S.. 2.28%. She was by Homer, son of Mambrino Patchen, out of Lady Sentinel, the dam of Lelah H. 2.24%, by Sentinel, 2.29%. Torresdale, ac cording to Mr. Morse, is one of the best horses that he has ever handled and was owned at one time by Gen. Morrill of Philadelphia. Edward Giggey of Fort Fairfield has bought of G. W. Gerow, the popular fitter, dealer and Skilful reinsman, the beautiful and royally bred pacing stallion Dustmont, race record 2.18% and will keep him as a driver and stock horse. Dustmont was bred by the celebrated C. J. Hamlin, and was sired by Hamlin's Almont (Almont, Jr., 1829), by Almont, 33, by Abdallah, 15 (sire of Goldsmith Maid) by Hamble Ionian, iu. wamnn s Aimont was tne sire of the beautiful mare Belle Hamlin, 2.12%, and 46 others in the list; also of the dam of Lord Derby, 2.05%, and four others in the 2.09 list. Aimont, 33, has now 229 descendants in the 2.10 list, while his half brother in blood Belm'ont, 64, has 216 descendants in the 2.10 list. Dustmont's dam was Goldie (dam of Blue Bell, 2.17%), by the famous show horse Mambrino King, “the hand somest horse in the world,” sire of 69 in 2.30, including such equine wonders as Lady of the Manor, 2.04%, Heir-at Law, 2.05%, Lord Derby, 2.05%, and five others in 2.10.

As will thus be seen, Dustmont is nearly a full brother to Lord Derby, 2.05%. Dustmont, with small stud oppor tunities, has sired Lady Dustmont, 2.21%. One of the fastest and gamiest green horses training in Bangor this year is Matthew Vasser, 2.23%, with a quarter in 31%, owned by Pope D. McKinnon of this city. Matthew Vasser is a handsome roan, standing 15-3% hands and weighing 1075 pounds in racing condition. He has an excellent dis position and is one of the best gaited horses ever seen on a track. The year of 1907 was Matthew Vassar's first year in training and if indications count for anything he bids fair to be even faster than his sire, Vasser, who took a mark of 2.20 trotting and 2.07 pacing.
