\ Jhim senseless. 'tention tolyoung Reid. ALIVELY EXPERIENCE Lewis G. Noyes had a thrilling expe- rience with a pair of horse thieves, Saturday night, in which his nephew, :1 young man named Frank Reid, shared Noyes is a farmer. He lives ‘On the Trumbull road, just beyond the Bridge- port city limits. Some time after mid- night Reid came to Noyes’ room and told him he had been disturbed by the barking of the deg. Noyes looked out of the window and saw two men creep- ing toward the barn in the darkness, The dog was pretty noisy, and to escape its attention, apparently, the men walked around to the rear of the barn. Reid and his uncle lighted a lantern and went out to motion. They made asearch, but saw nobody. The night had sWallowed up the strangers. So they went back to the house to await developments. Their vigilance was soon rewarded. The farmer and his nephew watched their quarry force a side window of the barn and crawl through into the interior. Noyes armed himself with a pistol, and w1tb Reid and the lantern, softly, but swiftly, made his way to the barn. The thieves were found in the act of tying blankets to the hoofs of Noyes" best horse. Reid watched at the window, while Noyes, cocked pistol in hand, may his way to the rear, in order to take the robbers from two sides at once. Reid only waited until Noyes’ feet touched the barn floor, when he leaped through the window and grappled with the man nearest him. The fellow was plucky and kept Reid, who though " small, is agile and athletic, struggling for his life. In the meantime Noyes reached the spot with a bound, and presenting the pistol full at the breast Of the other fellow, said, in a voice that meant business: “Hands up. or I’ll killyou where you stand.” The marauder threw up his hands, but cooly made a step towards the old man, at the same time expostuliting gaiost being thus threatened.” “ We are only harmless tramps,” he said. “We come in for shelter from the cold.” Noyes glanced significantly at the blanketed horse and replied. sternly: “No use to lie.” “Damn you, shoot then, burglar. In a flash the fellow had seized the old man’s pistol arm and wrenched the weapon away. The action preceded the words by the m‘erest instant. The struggle was brief. The robber rapped the old man on the temple with the butt of the pistol, knocking He then turns] his at. ” yelled the Perceiving the Odds to be now against him, the young fellow gave up the bat- tle. The lantern was out and the dark- ness afforded a cover for his flight.‘ He escaped by the stairs and concealed himself in the hay loft. The robbers left speedily by the rear door. For- tunately they did not shoot Noyes, or perhops were afraid that the report of the pistol would alarm the neighbors. Noyes soon recovered consciousness. A wound over his right eye, not very serious, was the only injury. Miss Net. tie Noyes, the farmer’s daughter, sum- moned help from the nearest house about600 feet distant. Noyes saved his horses, but every bone in his body still aches. One of the neighbors reported the affair to the police in this City. But it was too late for them to do much and the robbers have probably got clean off. oUAnnv reciramis. Made by Triassic Period Monster—Wes- leyan’s Rare Acquisition. The specimen of footprints secured by Wesleyan from the Middlesex quar- ry at Portland is one of the finest in the possession of any college. The slab of brownstone is 11 feet long and a little over three feet wide and upon the sur- face are five large footprints of the oc- tozoum moodii, a strange animal that lived in this vicinity during the triassio 'period of the world’s history. These footprints are casts of the impressions . made by the hind feet of the animal, as the monster walked mostly on its hind feet, its fo'relegs being much shorter than the hind legs. The beauty of this specimen is that the structure of the scaly covering of the footpads is shown distinctly in each impression. Erom the same quarry another slab was obtained which illustrates finely the faulting of rock structure, being a . vertical displacement of the strata and re-formation of it into rock again. A Pointer for Norwalk. The new bridge at Padanaram is com- pleted. It is a new idea in bridges in this section, but it appears to be a great improvement on the bridges that have hitherto been built here. It is a combination iron and concrete structure that looks as if it might last almost until the end of time. The girders are twen- ty-two inches in depth. Between the girders are spring-steel arches upon which is laid twenty inches of concrete , made of broken stone and the best qual- ity of Portland cement. Upon the oc- ment is an eight-inch coat of gravel. — Danbury News. Muanrrous 11331111. Daniel Gantley lies on one of the cots at the Norwalk Hospital suffering from three stab wounds inflicted with a jack- knife in the hands of Edward Anderson, a colored man, whois not withouta po- lice record in the courts of Norwalk. The trouble that ledup to and the culmination of stabbing occurred in the saloon of D iniel Hanlon located on Wall street and opposite the NorWalk Library, Saturday night. Early in the evening "a game of cards was started with Edward’Anderson (the accused) and “Joe” Birnes, ”pitted against Daniel Hanlon and “Dick” Burke. Aside from the lubric’a‘tions that were at stake it is stated that there was a wager of a dillar or two on the game. Anderson claimed that his partner by amisplay threw the game in favor of their opponents, and a row resulted, Anderson throwing off his coat and threatening to ”do” somebody. was, however, hustled out of the saloon before having done any great amount of damage. He was then hustled by.his friends to the foot of Mill Hill, quite a crowdxfol. lowing in his wake. At his request an» other colored man namedt‘reorge Pease went back to the salmlu after his coat and vest, and received as a return for the favor a blow that sent him whirling into the middle of the street. Witnesses, it is understood, allege that as soon as" Anderson got his coat he put his hand in one of the pockets and drawing out a knife broke away and made a break for HanlOu’s saloon again, with a threat of ”doing up the whole gang.” Hanlon Was in sight and received his first attention, and he made a wicked lunge at him with the knife, which Hanlon eluded. Daniel Gantley recog- nizing Hanlon’s danger went to his as- sistance when Anderson closed in upon him and gave him three vicious blows with the knife, one of which struck him? near the shoulder, another on the left side which glanced off as itlstruck his ribs. and the other causing an ugly gash on his thigh. Gantley was assisted to a chair, the blood oozing from the bottom of his trousers to the floor. He was later taken to the hospital where an exami~ nation of his wounds was made by Dr. Burke. who ’ thinks that unless blood poisoning sets in, the patient will be in a condition to be out this week.

As he did so Anderson made a lunge at him with the knife which he dodged and pluckily grappled w.th the would be murderer who acted like a maniac anxious to kill every one that came in his way. Others in the saloon then helped the officer secure his prisoner, who was do- ing his best t) break away from the of- ficer, and he was landed in the station house.

The murderous proceeding attracted a large crowd and it looked at one time as if an attempt would be made to take the prisoner from the oflicer and lynch him, but the better sentiment to let the law take its course prevailed. ~.~ ALCOHOL IN THE ARTS. is assault Connecticut Men to he Given a Hearing To-day.

Rev. Charles M. Selleck was in re- ceipt of a letter this morning from Helena, Montana, containing a coat cf arms of the old Cannon family of Nor- walk. It may be incorporated in Mr. Selleck’s History of Norwalk. The medaliou in the center of the piece of heraldry consists of a man who is in the act of firing an old fashioned can- non. Mr. Selleck inclines to the belief that the medaliou part was taken from an engraving to be found upon some ancient silver service belonging to the Cannon family.

The Titled Defendant Loses Ber Temper In the Courtroom. LONDON, ch. 24.'—The trial of Lady Tina, Scott, mother of Countess Russell, and the other defendants, Cockerton, Kant and Aylott upon a charge of criminally libeling Ea"! Russell, Lady Scott’s son-in- law, began in the a«antral criminal court, Old'Bailey, this morning. The courtroom was crowded, most off the spectators being persons well known in fashionable circles. Sir Frank Lockwood, Q. C., for the prosecution, stated that Kast and Aylott were cabin boys on board Earl Russell’s yacht in 1888 and that Cookerton was the engineer of the vessel. Since that time, he said, the earl had never seen any of them. Counsel then referred to the earl’s un- happy marriage and the disgusting charges which hall been brought against him by Countess Russell at the instigation of her mother, Lady Scott, upon the reporwd statements of the other defendants, Kant, Aylott and Cockerton. Sir F. Lockwood, continuing, called at- tention to the action at law which Count- ess Russell had brought against her hus- band, Earl Russell, more than a. year ago, for the purpose, as alleged, of obtaining a restitution crf her conjugal rights. This litigation, he said, had been incited 'by Indy Scott. and,-though its ostensible object was the restoration of Countess Rus- sell’s marital rights, the real purpose was to extort money from the earl. At that point in the argument of the counsel for the prosecution Lady Scott be- came greatly agitated and smote the front of the dock violently with her hands. Continuing his nemarks,counsel declared that no woman. could be so base as to de- sire her daughter to resume her life with her husband if she believed th the charges of immorality and cruelty w ch Countess Russell had brought against the earl, and which had not been supported by the evi- dence 1n the countess’ original suit for ju- dicial separation, were true. THE WHEAT OUTLOOK. Comment of The Mark Lane Express of London on the Situation. LONDON, Nov. 24.—The Mark Lane Ex- press today, commenting on the wheat 011t- look, says: “We expect that the decrease Of the French wheat acreage in 1897, owing to the lateness of the seeding season, will be much larger than any increase in this country. The sowings of Azima wheat in Russia are now admitted to be smaller than usual, but thcgrise in prices has stim- ulated Russian markets, and if the line of spring Ghirka lowings is likely to offset the Azima deficiency we must awaibfurther news from India before concluding that the drought is ove ‘. Injury has been in any event already O he, and there cannot be any wheat available for export prior to April, 1898. Australia is importing Cali- fornia wheat and has no surplus available for shipments to Europe.” Commenting upon the past week’s mar- kets, The Express says: “The farmers are spoiling the market by oversupply. We suggest that a central chamber organize a society Of wheat growers, pledged to sell only in such quantities as the situation de- mands. The advance of 2s. 8d. in the price of wheat in Paris since the end of October is a matter of some importance, as France has hitherto been boasting that she has a. well supplied market. If the purchase of foreign wheat by France increases, the sit— uation will become much stronger. The wheat on passage to the United Kingdom on Saturday totaled 2,100,000 quarters, whereof Russian wheat was 380,000, North American 260,000, South American 100,- 000, California 290,000, Indian and Aus- tralian nil, elsewhere 70,000. “ The maize market has been against holders at Mark lane, Hull, Liverpool, Bristol, Glasgow and Leeds, but the de- cline does not exceed Sixpence per quarter. There are now 1,048,000 quarters on pas- sage to the United Kingdom against 551,- 000 in November, 1895.” The Bu‘rber Sunday Closing Law.

The archbishop is- willing, in view of the late so called summaries of this report up 3 in certain New York papers, to place fere the public some of the matter in Cardinal Satolli’ s letter which refers to himself. It is as follows: “I arrived in Rome Oct. 30, and the day following, Sunday, I had the extreme pleasure of being admitted to an audience with the holy father. Many things were ‘dlscussed in the audience. I wish at once to tell you that I did not fall to speak at length to the holy father of yourself and. to narrate to him how sincerely and loyally you are devoted to the holy see and to the person of the holy father himself; with what great zeal and great success you la- bor incessantly in all things that may be to the advantage of the Catholic church in the United States. I added that your zeal and success will surely increase in the fu- ture. ” .
