When freight No. 112 rolled into the depot at South Norwalk at 5 o’clock Wednesday, William Ryan, of South- ington was carried into the baggage room on a stretcher. His right leg had been cut off between the knee and ankle and his left foot was badly . crushed. In addition to these injuries both of his hands Were crushed and he had a scalp wound‘ three inches in length on the back of his head. Dr. L. M. Allen was summoned and immediately upon his arrival he dis- patched a messenger for Dr. J. '1‘. Ken- nedy. The doctors worked over him for some time getting the flow of blood stopped and the lesser wounds ban- daged. He was then placed in the am- bulance and in charge of Dr. Kennedy taken to the hospital, where he now lies with but a slight chance of recovery. The doctors were able to ascertain that his name was William Ryan, and his home Southington, but beyond this no information as to how the accident occurred could be obtained, as Ryan was too weak and sufi’ering rom shock to give information. The engineer on frieght No. 112 is said to have seen him lying beside the tracks near Rowayton and stopped his train and. brought him to the depot. Beyond this no further information could be obtained. The suspicious part of the accident, and one the police should investigate, is that Ryan had lying beside him when found a five chambered revolver with a rubber handle, one chamber of which was unloaded. On the cylinder is a large piece of flesh ground into the groove showing that when run over Ryan must have been holding the this suposition is the fact that Ryan’s hand is mashed to a jelly and the barrel of the revolver was cut off by the car wheel at its junction with the cylinder. In addition to the facts related above the cut in Ryan’s head is a peculiar one. It looks as though he had been struck from the rear by a lantern in the hands of some one. Whether Ryan was knocked from the cars by a blow from a lantern while fighting the brakemen, and was run over, can not be told, but the presence of two large stones of the kind used by the Consolidated for ballastmg the road- bed, in his pockets, Would indicate that Ryan’had been attacked and had pre- pared himself with revolver and stones. on. PARKER ASSIGNS. He Is a Son of the Founder of the Willard Parker Hospital. Dr. Willard Parker of 55 Fifth ave- nue made an assignment Wednesday to Charles H. Demeritt of 146 Broadway, giving a preference to Mrs. Mary A. Parker of New Canaan,Conn.,for $9,000 Dr. Parker’s embarrassment, it is said is only temporary, as he has enough assets to pay in full in time, but they cannot be made immediately available. Dr. Parker has always been very gen- erous, and has yielded freely to the ap- peals of the poor and needy and to the requests of friends for loans of money. To this is attributed his assignment. Howard Van Sideren, who has been his attorney and friend for many years, said yesterday that Dr. Parker did not make the assignment to avoid paying his debts, but took the only course an honorable man could, by turning over everything he has to the assignee for the benefit of his creditors. He has an interest in considerable real estate left by his father, but cannot convert it into money, as his mother has the benefit of it as long as she lives. He had borrow- ed money to help others, which money was not repaid. He is unabled to make it good at present, but there is no doubt whatever that he has enough assets to pay every one in full. Dr. Parker is a son of the late Dr. 'Willard Parker, who endowed the Wil- lard Parker Hospital. He resides in New Canaan in the summer and has a cottage on Tavern Island where he and his family spend the heated season. A- The New Dairy Commissioner. John H. Noble of East Wmdsor, the new state dairy commissioner, was a member of the House in 1889 and again in 1893. He was in both sessions prom- inent in the committee on agriculture. He is widely known in grange circles throughout the state, and is master of East Central Pomona; Hartford county member of the State board of agricul- ture and a director of the State Dairy- men’s association. He conducts a gen- eral farm, with the dairy interests the largest, and is alpatron of the Riverside and Wapping cemeteries. He was born in East Windsor, Au- gust, 1846, received a high school edu- cation, and has been acting school vis- itor, town auditor and assistant regis- trar. ‘ The Horse Balked. A horse and canopy top in which were seated Peter Decker and membérs of his family came very close to back- ing through the Boston Store window yestereay afternoon. The horse whs balky and insisted on backing instead of going ahead. He was brought under subjection before any damage was done. The occupants of the vehicle were con- siderable frieghtened. l weapon in his hand.

Byington not having been ad- vised of the stranger’s previous visit said “I don’t know.” The man then picked up one of the wheels and re: marked “this looks like one of them,” and pointing to a lady’s wheel, added “That’s the other one,” and after a while went out of the store and re- marked that he would ca: 1 again when Mr. Ambler was in. Evidently having posted himself the man who 1s now bel .eved to be a bicycle thief, called again early yesterday after- noon, satisfied that Mr. Ambler would. not be in. He asked to belet a wheel for a half day and was given a Columbia for which he paid the rental price of 75 cents handing the clerk a one dollar bill and receiving 25 Cents in change. He took the wheel, went out of the store and mounting it rode off and has up to this writing failed to put in an appearance. He is described as having a black mustache and wore a bla‘ck Derby hat, dark coat and light trousers. The number of the bicycle was 26611. Another man, a companion of Mr. Ambler’s visitor, called at Fred Rogers’ stere yesterday afternoon, and hired a “Credenda” for half a day. He gave his name as George Lewis and said he was living at No 21 River street. He went off with the wheel and like his friend has failed to put in a reappear- ance. He is described as being about 27 years old, dark hair and complexion, and wore dark clothes. Investigation at No. 21 River which is occupied as a boarding house failed to elicit any 1nformation as to such a man as described as ever having been there. It is believed that the men have been in town for the past two or three days and that they are members of a gang of bicycle thieves who are plying their vocation in different parts of the State. <.’———-—-—"",— Annual Military Encampment.
