Mr. Warrington was sitting at the helm in the stern of the boat and Miss Wilson was amidships sitting with her back against one of the metal cables which sup ported the mast. The bolt of lightning ran down these cables and turned them into a hundred fine wires. Miss Wilson was hurled bodily from her seat to the stern of the boat. Mr. Warrington although somewhat ttunred by the shock, went to Miss Wilson's assistance. But she insisted that she was all right and he immed- L lately threw the anchor overboard as Mhe sail, ripped to shreds, placed the. oat beyond' control and' It was Being carried before the stiff wind that was blowing.

QUEEN OF THE SEA unard Liner Mauretania Cuts Off Two Hours from Her Eastern Atlantic Rec ord. J (Special from United Press.) London. Aug. 30. The new era in titans-Atlantic passenger traffic was inaugurated to-day when the Maure tania of the Ctmard line, after a record breaking run from New York to Queenstown, landed her passengers at Fishguard, the new portjof call on the west coast of England. The passeng ers were taken on a special train of he Great Western Railway and brought to London in 5 hours, arriving here at 6:35 p. m. Passengers there fore who had breakfast in New York on Vast Wednesday morning were en abled to eat dinner in London this evening, a new feat in trans-Atlantic travel. The Kaiser Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd line left New York 4 hours ahead of the Muare- I tania, and her passengers reached London but 6 nours aneaa oi tne ' M&uretania's. I The Mauretania's time to Queens town was 4 days, 14 hours and 27 mln . utes. ' Queenstown, Aug. 30. Cutting 2 hours and 53 seconds from her own eastward Atlantic record, the great ' Canard liner Mauretania arrived here to-day having made the run from New York in 4 days, 14 hours and 27 min utes. Her previous best record was ' made when she landed here on August 4 after a run from New York of 4 I days, 17 hours, 20 minutes. FIVE MILLION UNION LABORERS REPRESENTED (Special from United Press.) Paris. Aug. 30. Fourteen countries Hid live million union laborers are represented in the International Labor Convention which opened to-day under the chairmanship of M. Jouhaux. ftarpiml Gomperw. president of the American Federation of Labor, began piaytng a prominent part in the ses sion at the outset. Various labor mat- tion any, for as the young couple soon perceived, the lightning: had ripped a seam in the boat three inches wide, from stem to stem and that besides there were three ugly Jagged holes in the bottom of the oraft through which the water was pouring. In a few seconds the boat would fill and sink. Mr. Warrington is a good swimmer and he told Miss Wilson t jump and he followed. The boat dank before they had gone 10 yards. For several yards they swam, Warrington giving the young lady as much assistance as possible. When they were almost ex hausted because of the strong current that was running they were overjoyed to find they were over a sand bar about five feet under water, and by using this they were able to wade ashore at Charles Island. Here they secured a boat and were taken to Fort Trumbull beach. Miss Wilson kept up her courage until she reached the cottage when she suc cumbed to the intense strain upon her nerves and the realization of the close call they had. Without the rubber coat and hat there is little doubt that leaning against the cable supporting the mast would have been sure death for Miss Wilson when the bolt hit the boat. Mr. Warrington who is of robust physique did not suffer in the least from the terrible experience and Miss Wilson although a little nervous re ported this morning as usual at the town clerk's office where she is a copyist for the Bridgeport Land & Title Co. a A peculiar freak of the lightning af-l ter striking the boat was to cause the nails in the craft to shoot from their holes as though drawn by a giant magnet.

FOOLISH YOUTH PASSED OUT BY CARBOLIC ROUTE Young Harvey Quit the Game of Life After Lov ers' Quarrel PETULANT MAIDEN UPBRAIDED HIM Gave Him Back Engage ment Ring and Refused to Make up Heart Sick, the Spineless Swain Went Home and Did Himself Destroy ' A broken engagement resulted last night in a heart broken youth .com mitting suicide by drinking carbolic acid.

Yesterday afternoon Harvey left the home of hie aunt. Mrs. Anna Tomklns, with whom he resided and took a walk. In the meantime his fiancee had called, and being tired had fallen asleep on the sofa in the sitting room of the Tomklns home. When Harvey entered the room he awakened the sleeping girl, who at once upbraided him for not being in when she called as he had promised. She said that she no longer wished to be regarded by him as his future wife, and handed him the ring he had given her. He refused to accept it and Mrs. Tomklns took it. saying that she would return it when the quarrel ended. When Miss Riley left the house Har vey followed her. begging her forgive ness, but she refused to answer his pleading at all. While his aunt was praying that the quarrel might not re sult unhappily for her nephew and his fiancee. Harvey returned heme, and despondent because of his failure to veconcile the girl he loved, swallowed the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid. Ambulance Surgeon Kiernan re sponded to a call for the ambulance, and although he managed to pump the deadly acid from the stomach, it had already done its work and the young man died while the doctor woxkfc over him.

He was some what of a vocalist and of late had been singing at a West End moving picture theatre. FUTURITY RACE IS ON TODAY Ex-Street Car Conductor's Entry Is Well Backed Keene's Entry Favorites (Special from United Press.) New York, Aug. 30. Multi-millionaires and ex-street car conductors are on an equal level today at the Sheeps head Bay race course when fourteen of the creek two-year-olds strive for gold and glory in the Futurity, the richest two-year-old event of the turf. James McManus of San Francisco, is the former street car conductor, whose Rocky O'Brien will compete with the horses of the multi-millionaire mem bers of the Jockey Club. Though the street car conductor is now a wealthy man he would like to add $27,000, the winner's share, to his bank account and believes he has an excellent chance. Of the fourteen starters Jarnes R. Keene's entry. Sweep and Grasmere, will go to the post strongly the favor ites in the rich event. No youngster in the race is very much better liked than James Gaffney's Barleythorpe whose dazzling speed in the past has won him many backers. Rocky O'Brien, who upset the calcu lations of the dopesters at Saratoga, seems to be out of the running, hav ing to carry 130 pounds, but McManus believes that his thoroughbred will win the rich staked This is the 24th renewal of the Fu turity, which was inaugurated in 1888. when Proctor Knott with 122 pounds up won in a sensational finish from Salvatore. Despite the fact that the anti-betting law has cut into the receipts of the Jockey Club there has been no di minution in the stake for the race. Weather Indications (Special from United Press.)

CHAMPION CURHSS HAS MANY OFFERS FOR 'GOLDEN FLYER' American Aviator Guest at State Dinner Tendered By Ambassador White ANXIOUS TO GET HOME , V (Special from United Press. Rheims, Aug. 30. With first place in the Coupe Internationale and first in the speed contest for 30 kilometers, and second place in the speed contest for 10 kilometers, the three carrying with them high honors in the field of aviation and $7,600 in prize money, Glenn H. Curtiss has gone to Paris, there to be the guest at a dinner given by Ambassador White, before return ing to New Tonrkf Curtiss is still' be ing flooded with invitations to exhibit his wonderful "Golden Flyer" but it is probable that he will decline them all as he is anxious to return to Amer ica, While in Paris it is likely he will dispose of the aeroplane that won such high honors and a dozen flatter ing offers- have been made for it. At th'e conclusion of events on the Plain of Betheny, Curtiss won the Prix De La Vitesse, three times around the course, or 18.63 miles, in 23 minutes and 29 seconds, which with the penali zation of 1-10 for not starting in the first attempt, made his official time of 15 minutes 43 1-5 seconds. This was nearly a minute faster than Latham's best time and' gave Curtiss first prize. Others who entered and' the order of their finish were: Tissandier, Lef bvre, Lambert. Latham, Paulhan. Bunau-Varilla and Sommer. ' Latham won the prise for altitude with a record of 608 feet. This was one of the most spectacular events of Aviation Weeek and this flight was made while the moon was shining brightly. Far man was second in this event, Paulhan third and Rougier fourth. Henri Far man was first in the contest for carrying passengers, he thus sharing with Curtiss the honor of being the only man carrying more than one first prize. Farman's achievements show that his bi-plane was probably the most du-rable ma chine on the course as in aU contests requiring strength and durability - it won. Nearly all of the aviators have left the scene of the contests today. The Plain of Betheny has won a place for all time fJk aeronautic history-. NICKED THEIR NAMES IN ACADEMY TgWER Incident in Youths of Late George Warren and J. P. Morgan. DOES MORGAN RECALL? V The late George Warren, the plater who was a prominent figure in this city and whose funeral took place last Saturday from his home on the Strat fleld Road was a schoolmate of J. Pierpont Morgan, the financier. As boys they attended the celebrated Cheshire Academy at Cheshire, Conn. If one could climb up into the belfry of the old academy they would find the name of "J. P. Morgan" and "G. Warren" cut into the top of the bell towerAs youngsters they climbed to the top of the tower in order to say that no on in the school had embla zoned their names any higher than they. In after years one became a plater by trade and was an expert in his line, being associated with his brother, Edmund who conducts an es tablishment in Cannon street. The other went into finance and piled up a fortune bigger in gold eagles than the old academy tower. Chances are had Morgan known of the death of his school chum he would have been flor ally represented at the obseques. FINED $20 AND COSTS Calpio Angelo, Charged With Carrying Concealed Weapons.

Banks of Fairfield, and Attorney John C. Shaw of New York, with the Appellate Division of the New York Court. Also notice of a motion to be argued to-day for a stay of proceedings pending the ap peal. Attorneys Banks and Shaw were appointed conservators by the courts of this state in 1907. 1 Recently Mrs. Curtiss, who obtained a residence in New York brought ac tion to be allowed to manage her own affairs and this action received favor able consideration from Justice Bra dy who granted her motion. However, no proceedings for the removal of the conservators were brought in this state and Attorneys Banks and Shaw are stilf legal overseers of Mrs. Cur tiss' estate at Fairfield. With the papers submitted to the New York courts by Attorney Shaw on Saturday, was an affidavit In which he told of charges made by Mrs. Curtiss against one of her former at torneys. Attorney Shaw declares that Mrs. Curtiss told him that the lawyer had tried to marry her to one of his clients because of her wealth and that he had arranged for the ceremony to take place at the Murray Hill hotel in 1907. He declares that Mrs. Curtiss told him she unwittingly went to the hotel at the time mentioned and found a clergyman waiting to perform the ceremony. When she discovered what was up she excused herself for a mo ment and then hurried down in, an el evator and escaped in a taxi-cab to the Hotel Savoy where she was liv ing. Fearing that a further attempt might be made to inveigle her into the marriage. Attorney Shaw says Mrs. Curtiss told him, that she left the ho tel and boarded her yacht.

The next day proceed ings were started in the probate court at Fairfield to have Mrs. Curtiss ad judged incompetent. It came out during this hearing that Mrs. Curtiss had not been married to Williamson and that she had gone to her yacht alone. MISSING LAUNCH PARTY LOCATED By Cruisers Searching Since Early Today in Harbor at Stamford SAIL BOATJWERTDRNED (Special from United Press.) South Norwalk, Aug. 30. A launch party of 13 who had been missing since yesterday and concerning whose safety there was considerable anxiety, was located today at noon in the harbor at Stamford by a cruising party who had been searching since early today. The party started for Northport, I. I., yesterday and reached' their destina tion all right, but on the return trip the engine became disabled and they were compelled to put in at Stamford. The severe storm which sprang up in the afternoon caused a lot of fear for their safety. The storm yesterday while of short duration was unusually severe, and overturned' a number of boats in the harbor. A sailboat containing a fish ing party of five, all men, was over turned as it was making for shelter and its occupants were thrown into the water. The rainfall was so heavy that their dangerous position was not discovered until two hours later when the downpour ceased, and they were towed ashore in the tender by a launch. During this time they were slinging to the overturned boat. They lost their money and watches. During the storm yesterday a light ning bolt ran down the chimney of Montgomery's restaurant in South Main street, wrecked the stovepipe and did considerable damage to the stove. A number of customers received slight shocks and several windows were broken. While the Sweeney family were eat ing dinner at their home on Lincoln etreet a bolt of lightning went through the side of the house, knocking the plaster down and the plates off the pantry shelf.

Turner, Aug. 30. Lying on a big portable couch E. H. Harriman took the air on the spacious veranda on Arden House atop Tower Hill, to-day. He was seen there by a United Press representative who climbed Tower Hill in an efTcrt to set at rest the con flicting stories of the railroad kings condition. The number of guards that encir cled Arden House was reduced to-day and with some difficulty the mountain road was penetrated to within a hun dred yards of the mansion. There the house guards were stationed and they prevented further passage. But from that point the magnate could be seen as he was wheeled about the great veranda. He ray flat on a large cush ion couch with rubber tired wheels, the couch covered high with pillows. Harriman was covered by a yellow dressing robe but he appeared to be fully dressed. He looked yellow and wan and from the distance he seemed in the same condition as when he ar rived from Europe. Roland Harriman, the magnate's youngest son, pushed his father's couch back and forth on the sunny porch veranda and bent tenderly over him as the couch reach ed each end of the veranda, Harriman's appearance seemed to indicate either that he had recovered quickly if he has been operated upon at all. or that he has never been under the knife. In repose his condition seems little changed from what it was when he reached New York. Turner, Aug. 30. Tha spirit of con fidence manifested arounm Tower Hill today leads to the belief that E. H Harriman has already undergone a surgical operation, from which he ral lied splendidly, or that the surgeons who have examined him have decided that the operation, when it is per formed, will be of such minor charac ter as not to cause alarm. Dr. Lyle, Harriman's private physician, was gotten on the telephone today by a United Press representative. He was asked point-blank the question, "Has Mr. Harriman been operated upon?" Dr. Lyle hesitated for several moments and finally said: ''I guess you will have to go to 120 Broadway for any information." The number is Harriman's office. Those who believe the operation has already been performed successfully, point to the fact that Dr. G. W. Crile, the noted Cleveland surgeon, spent Friday at the Harriman home while on Friday morning two tanks of oxy gen and an operating table were hur ried to the Harriman home. Today, William Forbe, superintendent of the Harriman estate, despite his formal denials, admitted that the operation table is now at Arden, "stored in the attic with a lot of other things." On Friday all the laborers at work on the Harriman mansion were laid off for the day. Diligent inquiry among the Harriman household failed to establish that Harriman had left the house since his return to Arden. So nearly everyone here believes that the operation was performed Friday. That it was successful, if it was really performed, is evidenced by the general air of cheerfulness about the place. The Harriman family yesterday went to the Episcopal church on the estate. The source from which comes the report that Harriman has already un dergone an operation declares it was a "bloodless" operation and hightly successful. The report Is that, instead of a malignanfailment, Harriman suf fers from a hardening of the spinal column which threatened him with paralysis. It is said that Dr. Crile on Friday manipulated two of the verte bra of Harriman's spinal column so that a pressure on them was removed, a plaster cast fitted to the body to hold the spine immovable and Harriman, it is declared, was given immediate re lief. It was not found necessary, accord ing to the reports, to make a single incision in the skin. It is believed new cartilage will form at which time the plaster cast will be removed. This it is said, will take several months. If is declared that the partial paralysis has disappeared and that the surgeons no longer fear for Harriman. It is absolutely impossible to get any member of the Harriman family to either affirm or deny the statement that the operation already has been performed. Some, however, are firm in their be lief that there has been .no operation. They declare that the optimism shown by the Harriman family Js due to the fact that the surgeons who visited Harriman decided that while an opera tion would be necessary some time in the future, it was of such a minor character as to occasion no alarm. As yet no newspaper men have been al lowed near the Harriman home and the armed cordon of guards is still maintained about the estate. Several relatives of Mrs. Harriman spent the Continued on Second Page.) FOR RENT. Sept. 1, Seven room flat, $25. 1512 Park avenue. apo FOR SALE.
