HIS LIFE WAS CRUSHED OUT
FATAL ACCIDEXT AT THE XEW
BANK WILDING YESTERDAY.
Frank W. Cayton Caught Between the
Elevator and the Wall His Neck Broken
and Client Crushed Death Was Instant
aneous Victim Lived in Westviile.
The new building of the First Na
tional bank at the corner of Church and
Crown streets was late yesterday af
ternoon the scene of a fatal ucclcUnt
whereby Frank W. Cayton, the elevator
attendant, had hie life literally crush
ed out of him. Cayton was about thirty
years old, unmarried and lived with his
widowed mother, whose sole support
he was, at 71 Central avenue, Westviile.
CSyton's neck was broken and his
chest crushed almost to a pulp.
About 4:50 o'clock yesterday after
noon Cayton was running the elevator
in the ibank building and at the sixth
story , the guide wire rope snapped
and bounded to the top of the building,
and then back again to. within a foot
of the. floor of the seventh story. The
crash, of the elevator against the top
of the building attracted the attention
of a number of men who were working
in the building, and they rushed to the
sceoe.
Upon their arrival they found that
the elevator had been stopped by Cap
ton's body, which had been wedged be
tween the floor of the elevator and the
wall. The body was extricated from
its position and laid on the floor of the
elevator. After one or two convulsive
gasps the head fell back and Cayton
was dead.
Medical Examiner White was prompt
ly notified and was soon upon the
scene. After examining the remains
be found that Cayton's neck was
(broken, his chest cruslied in and the
right side of the back and hips badly
scraped. Death' was instantaneous.
Medical Examiner White is of the
opinion that the cause of Cayton's
death was purely accidental and that
no one was responsible. He thinks
that Cayton evidently intended to get
off at the sixth story, but the guide
wire broke and he was' unable to
control the car. When the car re
bounded he was thrown out and wedg
ed between the car and the elevator
well.
Some- of the occupants of the build
Sng have, however, entirely different
theories as to the manner in which
the accident occurred. They think that
Cayton had left a passenger at the
etxth floor, and started the elevator
preparatory to ascending. For some
reason the door failed to close and in
leaning forward to close it, Cayton
being lame, lost hi3 balance and fell
between the car and the well. They
also think that the guide wire rope was
broken by the force of the car strik
in against the top of the building.
Officer H. J. (Donnelly, who was off
duty at the time, was passing the build
ing when the accident occurred. He
rtished in and ran up stairs to the top
of the building to notify the janitor,
who was at the top, and see if the
freight elevator could be used. He also
sent a boy for the ambulance and no
tified Dr. Wheeler. Dr. Wheeler came
within a few moments, but Cayton was
dead.
Medical Examiner White stated that
the elevator company had been notified
and would send a man from New York
to-day to repair the break and run the
elevator for the present. There will
.. be no coroner's inquest, as there are
apparently no indications of criminal
carelessness.
After the accident the remaihs were
taken to Lewis & Maycock's. Cayton
was about thirty years old, and lived
In Westviile. He was a house carpen
ter by trade, and about two years ago,
while working1 on a scoffold, fell off
and broke btTth legs. He was taken
to the hospital where he remained for
a long time, and had been lame ever
since. About two weeks ago he se
cured the position at the bank.
Believed to Be the Holt Hill.
New York, Aug. 9. It is believed that
the vessel which with the Prince Oscar
was sunk im collision off the coast of
Brazil is the British ship Holt Hill.
The Holt Hill sailed from San Fran
cisco for Queenstown, April 23, probably
carrying only grain. On July 9, four
days before the collision she was spok-
iem in latitude 17.00 south and longitude
33.00 west, about 442 miles south of the
scene of the disaster. With a fair
wind, she would have been on the 13th
in about the position indicated. The
Holt Hill was a four-masted steel ship
of 2269 tons register and was owned by
(William Price & Co., of Liverpool.
OXE STEAMER SCXK.
One Fireman Was Drowned in a Collision
Near Wyandotte.
Detroit, Aug. 9. Steamers Britannic
and Russia collided in the river just
below Wyandotte this evening. The for
mer was sunk and one of her firemen
were drowned. The Russia had a hole
stove in her bow, but managed to keep
afloat until she reached the Detroit
dry dock. The Britannic was loaded
with ore. The steamers Exchanged
proper passing signals, but just before
they reached each other the wheel
chain of the Britannic broke and she
took a sudden sheer directly across the
"toow of the Russia.
" There was no time to avoid a col
lision. The Russia struck her on the
starboard side amidships, opening a
big gap. The Britannic filled and sank
at once in thirty feet of water. All
her crew except one escaped.
The Britannic was a wooden vessel of
1.121 tons. She was owned by W. J.
AVhite of Cleveland. She was valued at
$00,000. Covered by insurance.
WREXX II KMHOIW,
He Made a Strong Fight Against Chnce lu
the Match.
Long Branch, Aug. 9. At the tennis
tournament to-day Champion Wrenn
went down before Chace and Stevens
got only one game in a three-set match
with Larned. Wrenn made a strong
fight against Chace in the first two
sets and every point was fought with
desperate energy on both sides, At the
end of the second set each was pretty
well overcome by the heat, but Chace
pulled himself together for a winning
finish and ran out the remaining two
sets with comparative ease.
Stevens had been playing an unusual
ly successful game this week and his
overthrow by Larned upset the cal
culations of the talent. Larned's form
was perfect and all his shots came oft
with a speed and accuracy which were
little short of phenomenal. Earlier in
the day Parker defaulted to Foote afUr
the latter had secured the lead. As
the tournament now stands Wrenn,
Stevens, Chace and Larned re-tied for
first place to-morrow. The summary.
A. E. Foote, New Haven, beat W. G.
Parker, New York, 8-6, 4-3, defaulted.
W. A. Larned, Summit, beat Richard
Stevens, Hoboken, 6-1, 6-0, 6-0. Mal
colm Chace, Providence, beat R. D.
Wrenn, Chicago, 7-5, 5-7, 613, 6-1.

WOODMQNT'S GALA NIGHT
A ORAXD ILhVMIXATIOX AXD MA-
MINE DISPLAY,
A Beautiful Sight Presented The Illumin
ated Cottages The Procession of Boats-'
Other Features of the Display It Was a
True Success About 1,000 Visitors From
This City.
The Illumination at Woodmont last
evening was a grand success. The
amusement committee and the cottagers
co-operated to make the affair a suc
cess and the weather proved favorable
to the delight of all. One feature of
the event was a procession of decorated
boats sailing from Merwin's Point to
Oyster river and return.
- The procession was headed by Frank
Hitchcock's naptha launch "Flash" of
Bridgeport, with the M'llford band of
twenty-two musicians under the leader
ship of M. G. Clark, which played dur
ing the parade. Following the "Flash"
were the "Paula" of the Broklyn yacht
club, Captain Crowe In command; Rev.
Dr. Pallman of Bridgeport, with a oat
boat; J. N. Uaur's Napha of Meriden.
John McEnerny's naptha, Mr. Hall and
Mr. Prindle's Sharpies, which were fine
ly decorated: Harry Merwin and John
Hall had several beats in line which
were especially moticable, being trim
med with lanterns. The Owanux Ca
noe club were also in the procession
with the following named canoes, the
'Echo," "Yeo," "Sagimore," "Sasco,"
and "Owanux." The members that
were in the oanoes were Commodore
Bogart, Herbert A. Hill, Albert and
George H. and Herman Langzettel,
Thomas F. Bose, William A. Stark and
Frank G. Bogart.
The fleet were accompanied by a gov
ernment ordnance boat from New Ro-
chel'le, which exchanged signals and fol
lowed them to Oyster river, where it left
t.
Fireworks were displayed from many
of the boats in the procession, making
the spectacle very realistic. Many
hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks
were fired from Great Rock at Mer
win's Pota.t under the supervision of
an expert from New York. Many of
the pieces brought forth loud applause.
The cottages presented a very pretty
sight, .mong them those of:
On Central avenue Ed. I. Atwater,

guests. The West Shore road put trail
ers on each of the regular cars, three
in number, and an extra car and trailer
to accommodate the throng.
The last hop of the season will be
held at the BomsUene this evening for
the cottagers and their guests only.
Senator Lindsay May Be Appointed.
Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 9. Politicians
here believe the president Will appoint
Senator William Lindsay to fill the
United States supreme cout vacancy
caused by the death of Justice Jackson.
The nlan is -to run Secrtsry Carlisle for
the senatorship which will be vacated
by Judge Lindsay. If in- the face of the
manifest free silver sentiment in Ken
tnrkv Mr. Carlisle is elected senator on
a sound money standard it is argued the
prestige he gains in this way will help
him along for the presidential nomina
tion. Tt l-s generally thought in this
state that Mr. Carlisle is the admin
istration's choice for that nomination.
Was a Day of Surprise.
Portland, Me., Aug. 9. This was a
fine day for Rigby. There was a large
crowd. The sport was the best yet
witnessed at the August meet. It was
another day of surprises for in nearly
all of the three cases new and untried
horses came in winners. Six starters
entered the 2:24 trot. Bion secured the
first two heats with comparative ease.
but in the next Lady Bu took
the pole at the turn and came down
the wire in the lead. After Maud P.
had obtained the first heat in the 2:14
pace Eliza K. secured the following
by making great spurts. It was easy
for Pilgrim to land winner three
straight in the 2:30 pacing-.
COXDITIOX OF TRADE.
Bradstreets Reports a Very Good Business
For the Pant Week.
New York, Aug. 9. Bradstreets to
morrow will say: The features of the
week are a continuance of the remark
able strength of the demand for in
crease in the prodluction of and the ad
vance In prices of steel and Iron, prac
tically all first class producing plants
having been put Into service and not a
few of the cripples. No rebound since
the depression of 1894 has been stronger
or more surprising than that in iron
and steel. Of the same nature is the
evidence of improved business condl
tions shown by the activity in almost all
manufacturing lines, more particular
ly in those in which Iron and 6tcel are
employed. Demands for cars have been
heavily Increased, as have requests for
steel rails, and in consequence the Bos-
semer pig iron. In cotton goods, pres
ent prices, which have an upward ten
dency, do not represent the full ad
vance in the quotations of raw mate
rial. While midsummer, dullness char
acterizes all but a few departments of
industry and commerce, it is plain that
the distribution is far in excess of the
total of a year ago, and that the out
look is quite favorable. Prices have
shown no great change this week, cot
ton, leather and prints being note
worthy for advances, and copper for
its strength after its sudden upward
rush in prices.
At large eastern centers the only
notheworthy change is In increased
confidence in a large volume of busi
ness in the fall, though as yet no mate
rial progress has been made in that di
rection, although improvements in sales
of commercial travelers is reported
from most cities covered. There have
been moderate changes in general trade
in the southern states, the most-striking
being at Dallas and In general
throughout Texas. Crops of cotton and
corn there are large, and country mer
chants are buying more freely.' Build
ing is quite active in Texas, and has
had the usual effect. on the building
trades. At Memphis there has been a
grain In the volume of merchandise.
At Nashville business Is quite active,
with an improvement In collections,
owing to the marketing of wheat.
Arrivals of new rie at New Orleans
are small and prices unsatisfactory.
With the free movement of new crop
cotton, southern wholesale merchants
are confident general trade will prompt
ly respond. The center of commercial
activity at the west follows a line
drawn from St. Louis through Chicago,
St. Paul, and Minneapolis, with an im
provement also shown along the Ohio
river valley.
Reports of large crops of Indian corn
and spring wheat continue a feature
and although corn will not be beyond
danger for more than a month interior
merchants at man Doints are beelnnin
to discount the outlook by purchasing
more -freely for fall orders for dress
goods, hats, caps, clothing and shoes,
to a large degree the result of personal
selection by interior merchants.
General trade on the Pacific coast
has improved within a month. One of
the features is the recent importance
of the foreign trade of Seattle fend
Tacoma. The development of our in
terchange of commodities with oriental,
Mexican, Central and South American
countries is having a marked effect up
on the cities named. San Francisco
authorities wire that the wheat crop
in California is admittedly below the
normal and that fruits in that state
are ripening faster almost than the
canneries can handle them.
Exports of wheat, flour Included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal amount o
1,550,000 bushels this week against 3,417,-
000 bushels ini the week a year ago.
On August 1 American, European and
afloat for Europe stocks were smaller
since than 1892 at a like date, 24,000,000
bushels less than one year ago and 33,-
000,000 bushels less than two years ago.
But as compared with August 1, 1892,
the increased quantity held this year is
20,000,000 and as compared with 1891 the
Increase is 33,000,000. The bullish fea
ture of the exhibit is found in the un
precendented decrease more than 12,-
000,000 in the world's stocks of wheat
during July this year. In July 1889 the
world's stocks of available wheat in
creased about 3,000,000.
An improvement in trade is report
ed "from Montreal, where maturing bill3
met on; August 1 was in excess of an
ticipations, renewals asked for having
been fully 10 per cent, fewer than a year
ago. Canadian cotton manufacture
have advanced prices for all products
ad woolen goods markers on some t
their fabrics. Cmp reports from 11
points in Nova Scotia indicate more
than an average out turn, notwith
standing the recent draught. Bank
clearings at Wlnnepeg, Hamilton, To
ronto, Montreal and Halifax amount to
$20,934,000 this week against $17,794,000
a year ago.
Tool Company Assign,.
New York, Aug. 9. The Essex Tool
Manufacturing company, manufactur
ers of tools and fancy hardware, at 97
Chambers street, and at Newark, N
J., assigned. The company has offices
with the C. F. Guyon company, which
assigned yesterday. C. F. Guyon is
president of both companies.
National Cycle Tournament.
Chicago, Aug. 9. The National Bicy
cle tournament, under the auspices of
the Associated Cycling clubs of Chica
go and the Chicago Athletic association
openea to-aay at me nrcago Atnietic
association grounds. The weather was
scorching hot and dry, making a fast
track, but the attendance was not as
large as was expected. The perform
ance was first class. The chief event
was the open mile, diss B, in which E.
C. Bald of Buffalo lowered the world's
amateur record to 1:58 1-5. There were
four heats before the final. Bald win
ning the second in 232 1-5.
ACCIDENT TO DEFENDEll
AXOTHEX MARK IS ADDED XO HEM
LIST OF MISFORTUXES.
She Ban Aground While Trying to Slake
Her Berth at Brenton's Cove Captain
Hank HaffWas at the Wheel When She
Struck-Flonted Off By the Tide.
Newport, R. I., Aug. 9. Defender met
with another accident this afternoon
which may be added to her already
long list of misfortunes. The yacht ran
aground while trying to make Its berth
in Brenton's Cove, after taking a spin
outside this afternoon. Captain Hank
Haff was at the wheel when Defender
struck anri he worked like a beaver
until the boat floated. It was 4:45 when
Defender's towering sail was seen mak
ing in past the permanent wharf at
Fort Adams. '
Just about this time Captain Haff
stepped up to the wheel and when the
boat had what was considered proper
bearings he threw over the wheel with
the Intention of shooting up into the
Cove to an anchorage. He had come a
little short of his proper course and
with its nineteen feet draft the yacht
brought up all standing in a mud bank,
about 300 yards off Black Bury, where
there is a decided shoal. The yacht
had headway and after the first time
fetching up appeared to forge ahead
in two distinct hitches each time stop
ping so suddenly as to quiver from stem
to stern. The tender Hattle Palmer
was shortly alongside and tried, from
various positions, to haul Defender off,
but the latter would not budge. Cables
were run out, but these proved insuffi
cient as well and it was decided that
it would be better to await the assist
ance of the all-powerful tide.
This proved equal to the occasion and
after being held three hours she came
off. The proposed race for to-morrow
Is off, as Jubilee sailed about 6 o'clock
having received orders to return to Bos
ton.
Late this afternoon Vigilant returned
up the bay to Bristol and even the
race between the little sloops Uderlm
and Mlneola was declared off to-night
and now there is but slight prospects
of an Important race Monday.
IT IS A MAMMOTH MACHIXE.
Largest Ever Built Built In Two Sections
on Account of Its Great Size A World
Famous Machine.
F. B. Shuster, proprietor of John Adt
& Son's machine building . establish
ment, corner State and Mill River
streets, has completed, and is about
to ship, the largest automatic wire
straightening and cutting machine ever
built by the above named firm or ever
built In America. It is designed for
straightening and cutting in lengths of
twenty-one feet and shorter, brass,
copper and steel wire from three-eighths
to five-eighths of a.n inch in diameter.
The style of the famous machines
built only at this manufactory has been
changed and improved and new feat
ures added by the enterprising pro
prietor, which are meeting with great
approval from those who are using
these machines. They are constructed
with a straightener which revolves con
tinually, through which the wire passes
into a long grooved bar or sleeve with
an adjustable gauge therein, against
which the wire strikes. By the wire
striking against this wire or gauge in
the guide bar, it operates a lever at
tachment, which in turn operates the
cut off of the machine. Forked hold
ers are employed in this machine to
catch the wire as it is cut off and
dropped from the groove in the guide
bar. These holders are mounted upon
a piece of wrought iron pipe, which Is
fastened In the base of the machine at
one end and at the other is supported
by a floor stand. Some of the holders
are carried up so as to support the
shaft, guide bar, and other necessary
parts, thus rendering great security
and strength to the various parts of
the cutting extension.
The big machine spoken of above is
of such 'enormous length that it was
impossible to obtain a car long enough
upon which it could be shipped. To
obviate this, it was necessary to build
It in two sections, thereby allowing
he mammoth machine to be shipped and
handled to better advantage. Its
weight is over two and one-half tons.
It is to be consigned to the famous
concern of the Messrs. Holmes, Booth
& Haydens, Waterbury, whose factory
is, of national renown. They are large
users of Mr. Adt's patent automatic
wire straightening and cutting ma
chines and speak in the highest terms
of praise of the quality and quantity
of work done by the use of these world
famous pieces of mechanism. These
machines are, in fact, used by all of
the large wire mill sandi manufacturers
the world over.
The mechanical force at the Adt fac
tory has been increased nearly 25 per
cent, since the new proprietor took hold
and as the outlook now is, the force
will be increased as much more in a
short while.
The machines built by this firm are
now used in England, Scotland, Nor
way, Sweden, France, Canada, Mexi
co, United States, in fact, in all civil
ized countries of the globe and all
manufacturers using them claim they
are without equal.
Settled With McKinley.
Duluth, Minn., Aug. 9. It is learned
from authentic sources that the Rocke
feller corporation has quietly settled
with Willliam McKiniey for $19S,744.
McKinley sued the Lake Shore Consoli
dated Iron company for $600,000. It
was a sure thing that McKinley would
win, for, when the case was tried in
June a single juror was the only ob
stacle to a big verdict,
A FIXE TIME.
N. E. O. F. Outing Last Evening.
A, large party of the New England
Order of Protection left at 7:30 last
evening on special cars for a trolley
ride to Lake Saltonstall, going from
there to the Forbes house, Morris Cove,
where the party sat down to a ban
quet. After provld.ng for the wants of
the inner man the grand secretary,
F. D. Grinn-ell, addressed the meeting,
stating that he believed that the or
der In Connecticut would do as well
this year as last. The supreme lodges
recognized Connecticut as doing a noble
