John Burke, who attempted to butt his brains out on a rock near the depot several days ago, Was taken to Bellevue hospital, New York, by Chief Bradley this afternoon. Messrs. C. S. Trowbridge, A. Sol- mans and Fred H. Quintard returned home from their trouting trip yester- day. They report a good catch con- sidering the weather. The Board of Directors of the Pub- lic Library have ordered a large list of new books, and they are eXpected to arrive here in the course of a week. All of the standard authors will be rep- resented in this list. Reporter Helmer of the Hour entered his office last night and after lighting two gas jets picked up a copy of his paper and started to read. The numer- ous items culled from the other dailies of the day before,overcame him and he slept until 4:30 o’clock this morning when he was awakened by George Govern, night clerk at Lane’s. Owen Rice, the terror, became in- toxicated yesterday afternoon and thought he would like to enjoy a row on the river. Soon after he was seen struggling in the water and word was sent to the police that there was a drunken man overboard. Officer Pen- nington responded and rescued Owen from becoming a stiff cold water man. He was taken to police headquarters where his wet clothing was removed and Owen rolled up in a blanket. This morning Owen was unable to move owing to a severe attack of rheumatism and Attorney Gregory thought he had received sufficient punishment and re- fused to prosecute. Chief Vollmer had him removed to his home in a wagon. The funeral of the late William Har- ford was largely attended from St. Mary’s church, this morning, a solemn requiem high mass being celebrated.‘ The celebrant was Rev; J. T. Winters of St. Peters church, this city, Rev. J. B. Daugherty of St. Mary’s church ~ acting as Deacon, and Rev. Eugene Sullivan as sub-Deacon. The services were of a solemn and impressive nature in which the many friends of the de- ceased were in full accord. The choir sang requiem music with much effect and Miss Kittie Flynn sang two selec- tions with affecting pathos. The pall bearers were Messrs. John H. Wehle, Henry Malone, Charles Lynch, John McMahon, George A. Honnecker and Bernard Tully. The flower bearer was Peter Martin. Messrs. Bernard Mc- Caull, Francis O’Farrcll, Bernard Lar- rigan, John Henry, Peter Murray :and M. Carew were honorary pall bearers. The remains were encased in a heavy oak casket with oxydized silver trim- mings. The interment was at St. Mary’s cemetery. The Governing Committee of the Norwalk Yacht Club met with Dr. L. M. Allen at his residence on Washing- ton street last night. Eight new mem- bers were admitted. thus making the total membership 97 at present. As the limit is 190, those who are thinking‘P of joining should make no delay. 0. Allen, as chairman of the committee has given out the course over which the small boats will sail on Decoration Day, and it is the same as last year. The course is from in front of Club House around a buoy near Smith’s Is!- and, around buoy near Bell Island, and back to the Club House. The course will be sailed over twice, and 'the boats will be continually in sight of the spectators on the Club House veranda. Routine business was tran- sacted, all of the sub-committees re- ported," and the meeting adjourned after talking over the Memorial Day celebration. The Sentina La Vuryere club gave a delightful leap year dance to their gen; tlemen friends in the Red Men’s Hall on Washington'street last night-(There were about seventy-five present and all danced the twenty dances to the music of an orchestra composed of several 'of our local musicians.

Miss Vivian Soderstrom acted as floor man- ager with the Misses Pauline Diver, Della Starr, Kittie Corbin, Flossie Gil- more, Alice Seymour and Eva Bene- dict, for assistants, and every detail was ably managed by them. The suc- cess of the dance is due to the whole club as no committee of arrangements was appointed, but instead all of the members acted in that capacity and well did they carry out their ideas. During the evening light refreshments were served and the dancing was kept up until an early hour this morning. At the close of the evening’s pleasure the gentlemen escorted the ladies to their homes and complimented them on the success of their labors. The D. A. R’s. went to Brookside yesterday afternoon in two carryalls, to spend the afternoon with Mrs. M. H. Parsons, at her pleasant home. At the meeting it was voted to hold areception of all Fairfield County officers of the D. A. R. in the parlors of the Congrega- tional chugch on June 13th. It was al- so voted to attend the state gathering at Hartford next Tuesday. Mrs. Fred- erick Belden presented the Column- bine or Honeysuckle as the national flower. She made such a good argu- ment in favor of it that she was em- powered to present it at the state gath- ering Tuesday, so that a. vote might be taken on the question. Miss A. Scott read a paper written by Gen. Anthony Lamb in 1825 as a biography sketch of his brother, Gen. John Lamb. The General was an ancestor of Mrs. D. F. Prentiss, of Woodward avenue, which made the paper doubly interesting. It was further voted for an outing to visit Lewisboro and view the Indian remains, and appointed the Misses Hurlbutt, Helen Curtis, and A. Scott a committee of arrangements. Mrs. M. H. Parsons read a poem addressed to her great grandmother Mary Chapman, of Fair- fied, and as the honored lady’s picture was suSpended in the room it was very interesting. Mrs. Parsons then had dainty refreshments served to her guests and all declared the meeting a great success on adjourning. The Pen Is mightier than THE SWORD.

Yesterday a jury in the case of Emma H. Delafield vs. Thomas B. Wilson, returned a verdict in favor of the plain- tiff, placing her in possession of the property in question and allowing her 36 damages and costs. The suit was brought to establish the title to certain property which formed the boundary line between the farms of the plaintiff and defendant. It was originally tried before a justice with the same result. The reason given by the Highway Commissioners for not allowing work on the Darien Telford road to continue was because the supports at the sides of the foundation are not substantial enough, and that the stones were being placed in with the pointed ends down. It is understood that the stones are to be taken up in several places. There are further difficulties in a strike of fifteen Italian laborers. The men have been paid heretofore once a month, but now desise to receive their money oftener, and refuse to work unless they get it. ~ Undertaker Burchard, who has the contract for removing the bodies of about 100 old soldiers to the new plot in the Darien cemetery, experienced trouble Wednesday. Twelve or four- teen Italian laborers, engaged by him through the agency of a man who keeps a stand near the Noroton depot, went on strike. They were receiving $1.25 a day and demanded $1.50. Their de- maned was complied with, after a con- ference. Then the Italians found a long and arduous task in getting Un- dertaker Burchrrd’s horse and wagon out of a creek at one end of the cem- etery. The animal had wandered off while its owner was discussing the labor question. It was found that the headstones had not been set according to instructions, and in many instances this work will have to be done over Some of the graves in the old again. plot had not been marked at all.

They Have No (fee for Gold Coin or Paper . of Money. ‘ If the silver Question were left to the Sioux Indians to be decided, says the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, they would speedily decide. it in a. manner that would prove perfectly satisfactory to the advocates of free silver coinage. The Sioux are naturally in favor of free silver coinage, principally because silver is more. easily counted by them than any other kind of money. White Ghost, the venerable head of the Crow Creek Sioux, in discussing the money question while in town recently, ad‘- vanced some peculiar ideas regarding 'money, which are undoubtedly shared by practically every member of the Sioux nation. He says that when the government pays the people on his reservation the $198,000 due to them, he wants it paid in silver dollars. Gold is detected by the Indians because the coins are so small when the sum they represent is taken into consideration. White Ghost said he could not under- stand why a ten-dollar bill should not be just ten times as large as a. one-dollar bill. He thinks the government should increase the size of bills in proportion to the sum they represent, even if it was necessary that a $100 bill should be as large as a- horse blanket. If the government persists in paying them partly in bills, they would like to see the change made.- But silver dollars are what the Indians want, even should they receive them in such quantities that they would have to be transported to their agencies in wagons. Samoans Are Lazy. Civilization has demoralized the Sa— 1 moons. They have taken a fancy for the large men-of-wau"s boats, for which they have discarded their canoes, and in which they row about from village to village, discussing politics and neg- lecting their crops. To build the boats they have mortgaged their land, and in- stead of- making an attempt. to raise money to pay their creditors they spend their time playing cricket for stakes consisting of pigs or kegs of salt beef. Portuguese fishermen say that tlie black spot on each side of a. haddock’s head is an imprint of Peter’s thumb and fingers.

Lingerie is shown at the loading shops in bewildering variety, andnow that the white skirt will soon be seen on the promenade, it, too, is shown in all shapes, and trimmed in profusion with narrow embroidered ruffles. OUR EUROPEAN COUSINS. Dr. Chrysander, the private secretary of Prince Bismarck, who passed his ex- aminations in J anuary, last week took his medical degree in Berlin. A village in Algeria has been named Uze-leduc, in memory of the young duke of Uzes, who died a. few years ago on reaching the coast after exploring in Senegal. Pere Hyacinthe, the distinguished priest, formerly Abbe Charles Loyson, will marry Laura, daughter of the late William Bucknell, an American. Pere Hyacinthe is 68 years old. Felix Fsure, president of France, re- cently remarked that the most unpleas- ant feature of his recent advancement was the fact that as president he found no time for icycle riding. Queen Victoria. is going to confer the Order of the Carter on the crown prince of Denmark and the Grand Cross of the Bath on his brother, Prince Charles, who is to marry Princess Maud of Wales. ' The prince of Wales does not take as much“ interest in his wardrobe as he did some years ago. He is still one of the best dressed men in the world, and his influence on men’s fashions is us great as it ever was, but those who have. charge of his attire complain that he has lost his old enthusiasm on the sub- ject of dress.
