\h—m EATALLY BURNED. Rosa Weintraub, aged 5 years, suf- fered' a horrible death at her home, last~evening. She was the eldest but one, of a family of five children of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Weintraub, who occupy the second story of the house, 41 Cedar street, the lower floor being rented by Mr. Frank Cafi‘rey, who also has several children. ' ' Yesterday afternoon, on returning home from school, the Weintraub child- ren gathered together a lot of leaves and rubbish for a ban fire. The Caff- rey childrey children were also of the party, and watched the proceedings. Among those seemlngly most interested was Rosa Weintraub.. Her little 4 year old brother, Eddie, lighted a match, to fire the heap, and scarcely had he done so before he heard the other children cry, “Oh! Rose is all on fire. ~ The screams of the children attracted the attention of both Mrs. Weintraub and Mrs. Cafi'rey. who hastened to the scene. Mrs. Wei-ntraub thoughtfully grabbing up ,a bed -qui which she wrapped around the child who was enveloped in flames, and after a hard battle succeeded in extinguishing them. This hands of‘ both women were severely burned, and that their cloth- ing did not catch fire seems more than passing strange. The little girl 'was taken into the house and such remedies as were avail- able were applied to the burns. In the meantime medical help had been sum- moned, and Drs. L. M. Allen and F. I. Burnell arrived and prescribed lorions toabate the pain from the burns. Thev found that the child had been horribly burned about her body, limbs and face. All of her hair except a little tuft on the hack of her head was burned ofi'close to the skin. There was hardly a-vestige of clothing left on her. She sank int) a semi-conscious state but must have suffered terribly from the burns. After hay had done all in their power to relieve the sufferings of the child, the doctors left after having given the parents instructions asto what to do. The father who is an engineer on the Consolidited railroad arrived home about two hours af-er the accident ‘and his feelings can be better imagined than described. He sat by the bedside of the poor child, hoping that her life might be sp ar 9 Between 7 and 8 o’clock the poor little girl opened her ‘ eyes and gave her father a pitiful look and closed them again without so much as a murmur. In less than a minute after 'she was dead. But the father thought that she had simply relapsed into slumber. Soon after Dr. Allen came in and the parent asked him if he .did not think it advisable to cut of! a small gold ring that encircled one of the;child’s fingers, the hand being badly burned. He asked this because he thought the ring might irritate the flash and cause the hild more sufi'.ring. The doctor then stepped to the bed- side and saw at a glance that the child’s sufferings were _over, and told the grief- Qtricken parents that their little one was dead. . . The mother became crazed With grief and but for the timely assistanca of Mrs. Cafi'rey would-have thrown‘her- elf into a near-by well, and had par- ‘ially succeeded in the attempt when Mrs. Cafi'rey apprehended her. 0.. Furious Storm Coming. Horace Johnson says: From the 6th othe 91b of the present month the earth will move into a belt in its orbit from which will proceed a disturbance which will result in quite a furious storm for this season. From the 11th to the 1'91h we shall move through at warm belt, the weather will be fair for severaldays, a suitable time to be at the beach. From the 19th to the 221 there will be an intermediate disturb- ance likely to be furious for a while, not always the case.. Can in no sense he termed a line storm. After which we shall pass into a warmer belt; .de- lighit‘ul weather for several days. From the mm to the 30th" a local dis- turbance of little account and short duration. From the bth to the 9th of October there will be a great general disturbance accompained by a tidal wave. Mariners alongthe coast should be on the lookout. Such a storm might be termed a line storm if was true that great disturbance take place annually while the sun 'is crossing the equator. That theory is a myth ex- ploded long since. Meteorology most positively d;sclaims the truth of such. a theory. u." East Wall Street Changes. Street Commissioner Kellogg has but a small force of men at work on the East Wall street improvements to-day. I’et considerable work is being accom- plished. The flagging in front of the Quintard and Hanlon buildings is being - torn up; the brook under the old Price .building is being cleaned out; curbing is being set in front of the Manice Lockwood place; a foundation for the water tank at the end of the Green is nearly completed; a new and larger by- drant is being placed near the foot of ~ the hill, and other accessory work car- ried on.

The Norwalk police were advised last night that the young man, said to be H. C. Baker, and formerly in the employ as a drummer, of a shoe-blacking con- cern, and who wheedled the Bailwitz Bros. into endorsing a check purport- ing to have been previously signed by J. C. Randle, of Winnipauk, had been captured. The story of his getting the check cashed by Grocerymen Osterbanks, the amount being for $10; appeared in Monday’s GAZETTE. Apparently this was not the first time that Baker or Black has been doing things that are termed crooked. A telephone message from that place says that Baker has a “sweetheart” there, and that on August 25th he quar- reled with her with the result that he was arrested. The woman whose name is given as Madeline Campbell, relent ed, and failing to push the case he was liberated. The police had read of his actions in N orwalk, and Officer Hickey yesterday afternoon seeing him on Pacific street, decided to keep an eye on him. Baker was acting in what the oflicer thought was a suspicious manner, and saw him dodge into a near by grocery as if to get out of sight. Hickey decided to place him under arrest. As he did so Baker took’a paper out of his pocket and attempted to de strOy it. Hickey made a grab for the paper and both men fell and rolled about on the sidewalk, but the ofiicer managed to secure it and it proved to be a check drawn to the order of H. C. Baker and signed by G. A. Ehlers, 11 Maple avenue groceryman. It was a!- so learned that he had got an advance of 33 on a check for $10, and that he has tried to get checks cashed at other places. The Campbell woman was not long in hearing of Baker’s arrest and imme- diately went to the station-house in tears and insisted on sharing the cell with him. It is understood that the firm by which he has previously been employed is anxious for his arrest and will prose- cute him for various alleged crooked operations with the firm. Bulkeley Claghorn. John C. Bulkeley, son of General William H. Bulkeley of Hartford. was married yesterday noon to Miss Mabel 1‘: Claghorn, daughter of J. Raymond Claghorn of Philadelphia. The wed- ding took place at the summer home of the Claghorns at New Canaan, which is also an old family residence of theirs. The ceremony, which was attended only by the families of the contracting parties, was performed by the Rev. Robert Howland Neide, rector of St. Mark’s Church, New Canaan, Colonel W. E. A. Bulkeley of Hartford, brother of the groom, acted as best man. The bride was unattended. She carried a prayer book, which was used in the service. Aiter the ceremony breakfast was SerVed at 1he home of the bride. «no Wants His Money Back. Attorney .1 .1111. J. Walsh appeared before Judge Hubbell, in the town court this morning, and asked for a re- opening of the bond of $25 which John J. Elanlon forfeited when he skipped town after being arrested for drunken- ness. Attorney Walsh stated that Han- lon supposed that when he failed to appear and his bond was forfeited that ended the matter, and he was greatly surprised when rearrested on the same charge. Prosecuting attorney Gregory op- posed the motion and said that Hanlon by his actions had forfeited all claims to the bond. He further remarked that Hanlon seemed to have a poor opinion of the town court and it would be well to have him as well as all others under- stand that a bond could not be forfeited and the case ended. Judge Hubbell took the papers and reserved his decision. n William Marks, of Albany, a cigar- dealer, was in Stamford yesterday with ' a' view to opening a retail store here. He thought wiser .of it, however, after seeing that the town was already well applied in that line, and will probably ' give Norwalk a inst—Advocate. A FAMOUS CHIN AMAN Ll HUNG CHANG, HTS RED JACKET- AND OTHER ORNAMENTS. Li is'Riclier Than Anybody, Yet “’0 Send DIoney to Convert His Heathen Sub- jects. 1111 Many Things He is Up-to- 3: Date; in Others, Ages Behind. There never has been so picturesque a visitor to America as le Hung Chang. Although he is scv 1nty fou1 ycal. of age, thi s is the 111 at time he cvei left the Orient. Li Hung Chung is at once the embod- iment of the old and the new. He rcp- l'C’Sl‘lilS the oldest civilization on earth, and yet is the champion of many~ ad— vanced and progressive ideas. He is not only 1111... Lichcst man in the W 01111 111: he is 111:0 one of the inst influen- tial, holding. as he does, the pew e1 of "life and death over millions of his sub- j ects. W141 “Ulrl‘ ‘11“?v 511,,11‘ LI HUNG CHANG. Wedded to ideas that were old before the dawn of modern European civiliza« tion, Li Hung Chang is a thorough democrat. Living in a country where people Worship their ancestors, he is a self-made man, with hazy ideas as to the identity of his own grandfather. By the force of his Own genius he has risen to commanding influence over royal and princely houses Whose origin is lost in antiquity. Inheriting nothing but brains and energy, Li Hung Chang has absorbed power in every form. Wealth, place, honor, fame, military and political power, all are his. Neither Europe 1101' America can offer a single man whose achievements equal those of Li Hung Chang; He is richer than any Rockefeller, Vander- bilt or Astor. He is more powerful than either Bismarck, Gladstone 01' Cleveland. Neither Queen Victoria nor Emperor William possesses a tenth of the despotic power of this Celestial. There are few men whose learning is so great and whose observation has been so wide and varied. Aside from all or‘ this, there is nthuman‘j’nsn‘lg/ either in Europe or‘America whose daily life is surrounded by such bar- baric splendor and picturesqueness. In his intercourse with foreigners, Ll Hung Chang years ago abandoned the absurd formalities of the Chinese. He was easily accessible to. intelligent travellers, whom be delighted to en- tertain and question. ' Interviewers, artists, and even ordinary tourists from Europe found no difficulty in pass- ing the innumerable barriers of his pal— aces at Tien- Tsin and sitting down to dinner with this wideoawake China~ man. Distinguished visitors to China were sought and entertained by him. .Hc made elaborate preparations to receive and entertain General Grant, with Whom he had lengthy discussions re- garding America, the civil war, and the politics and social customs of the United States. He asked particularly about West Point, and surprised Gen. Grant by his knowledge of many things pertaining to his own career. Li Hung Chang stands six fee‘bone inch in his stockings, and the boots which he wears have soles of wood about an inch thick. The famous yellow jacket is of the finest satin, and is embroidered on the breast and back with double dragons in a circle. Li uses a Chinese water pipe with a long stem and a silver bowl as big as your fist, in which the smoke passes through scented water. Missionaries, merchants, diplomats and diplomats’ wives have supplied enough information in respect to the domestic life of Li Hung Chang to en- able us to form a very complete idea of his home life. He is very kind and gentle to all Whom he likes, very formal to all others. He worshiped his late wife, and treated her with an affection and respect which would do credit to any Christian husband. He recog- nized the superiority of Western in- ventions, and utilized all that he could in the administration of his personal affairs. Curfew in Kansas.

Thrift begets con: tentment. A little time spent here and there, repairing things needing a little attention, adds a great deal to the pleasure of the good wife indoors, who loves to see the buildings kept in order code general appearance of neatness outside. . G. A SHE GOES BAREFOOTED. Pretty Saidee‘Bourguln Says the Treat ment Cured Her of Insomnia. If persons continue to find benefit in shoe manufacturers will have cause for complaint. Extremists follow it winter and summer, but pretty girls. indulge the craze only when the dew is on the grass, and the toad is in the pool. Last spring and all during the hot weather those actresses who were not wearing diamonds in Europe. were treading the green sword of the public parks in New York. Saidcc Bourgoin who plays' in Rob Roy be- came a leader. She says: “When Father Kneipp’s cure was given to the public I was disposed to laugh at it. Just think how it struck me! I pictured a young woman walking around in the damp grass with her skirts drawn above her ankles, and it seemed to me a huge joke. SAIDEE BOURGOIN. “After I had seen and heard more of the cure, I found myself longing for a real good opportunity to try it. Well, the chance came. I was out walking in the Park in the evening with some friends, and one of the ladies suggest- ed that? it was hot enough to try most anything that had a tendency to cool one off. In a very short time three women were experimenting on the lawn. The grass was long and soft, and felt like plush to our feet. There was just enough earth moisture to keep it cool. We had soon covered sev- eral blocks of territory, and found the result satisfactory. Indeed, it wQs simply delightful. “That night I went to sleep the mo- ment my head struck the pillow. I had been troubled with insomnia for some time, and when I awakened in the morning and found that I had had .11 good night of uninterrupted rest, I confess I felt disposed to attribute it ‘to the Kneipp cure.” COW DUG OUT OF HAIL. terrible Visitation Upon the Susquehanna Valley. . When hailstones bury a cow so that farmers have to shovel her out, the occurrence is so uncommon even in the valley of the Susquehanna that a corespondent there rightly considers it a piece of news. And when be ac- companies the story with a double- barréled c1'oss-my-hcart—hope-to-die re» iteration of its truth, the event is sure to attract more than ordinary notice. Consider the attending circum- stances. “It was one of the most-de- structive storms of the kind ever known in this section,” he writes, and it must have been, for he adds, “one barn was blown down and another was moved from its foundations.” 'This startling phenomena, to be sure, took the correspondent’s attention for a moment from the refrigerated cow, but soon the horrors of the situation return, and the faithful chronicler continues: “Three days after the storm farmers gathered hail and froze ice cream, and theie were several wa- gon loads on one farm a week after the storm. The hailstones formed themselves into lumps, weighing from one to three pounds.” As corroborative evidence that the cow was'dug out of 1181' cover of hail, it may be added that “fields of grain were laid as flat as though a heavy roller had been used over them. In one piece of woods trees were blown down by the score, and the bark was peeled clean from trees and shrubs” on the side next to the storm. The account must be believed. Nor would it cause surprise to hear that the Ice- landic blast had made 'a mooley of every cow in the beautiful Susque hanna valley. And as for the smaller farm animals, it is sad to reflect upon what a storm that could bury a cow with hailstoncs must have done to the poor pigs caught between trough and sty.
