On Saturday the rules established by
the Town Health Officer and approved
by the State Board of Health together
with the Quarantine regulations will
appear in full 1n these columns. Thev

so far as it lies in his power that they

Richard Vogue, the Greenwich man-
ager of the New York Telephone C0.,
had a narrow escape from instant death
Wednesday, and as it was he suffered a
number of serious and painful injuries
which will confine him to his bed for
some time to come. The telephone
wires about Greenwich were being re-
strung and Supt. Vogue had climbed a
pole to give his personal attention to
one especially troublesome wire. He
had just reached the top, when his
Weight caused the pole to sag and it
snapped in two at the base. He was
agile enough to climb around on the
top side of the pole as it fell, and not-
withstanding the fact that the distance
was 25 feet, he managed to fall with
the pole underneath him. He was
stunned by the force of the fall. It is
thought that Supt. Vogue sustained no
internal injuries, although there are a
number of severe bruises and contu-
sions on his right side. His right arm
and leg are also badly bruised but no
bones were broken.
A calf with two heads and two bodies
was recently born on the farm of J ere-
miah Troy in South Windsor. It was
the queerest looking animal that Mr.
Troy ever saw on his farm, and when
he found it one day in the pasture with
the mother he looked long and hard
and rubbed his eyes to find out whether
he was awake 0r dreaming. Mr. Troy
tried to save the life of this strange
freak, but it lived only eight or nine
hours after being found. The mother
cow got along all right and is living
and doing well. Messrs. Strong and
Strain, who are connected with the ho-
tel 1n Broad Brook owned by Manager
H. C. Parsons of Parsons’ theater in
Hartford, obtained the body and had it
stuffed.
The calf had two heads, two bodies,
two tails and seven legs. One of the
feet had double hoofs, about twice as
big as those on the other feet. Bot-h
heads were well shaped and of ordin-
ary size. The body has been observed
with curiosity by a great many people.
‘ The Republicans of the State are be-
ginning to realize that the Gubernator-
ial boom for Senator George E. Louns-
bury of Ridgefield is going to amount
to something. Col. Samuel B. Horne,
State Labor Commissioner, who,through
his agents, has facility for sounding the
political pulse of the State, was in New
Haven yesterday, and when asked what
the Gubernatorial outlook was he told'
a Register reporter that the two prom-
inent candidates for the nomination
next year Were Senator Lounsbury and
Lieut. Gov. James D. Dewell.
Expressive of the sentiment of the
Republicans toward Senator Lounsbury
is the statement of Gov. Cooke, during
the session of the Legislature. When
asked his opinion of ex-Gov. Louns-
bury’s brother last spring, he said:
“ Senator Lounsbury is a man who has
made no enemies. Every one who has
met him is his friend. ”
It is understood that Gov. Cooke does
not desire a renomination, partly be-
cause of the fact that he is
this world and partly because he has
reached the height of his political am-
bition.
Speaking of Col. Horne’s reputation
as a political prophet, one of his friends
said that six months prior to the Re-
publican State convention he has
named for the last six years Guberna-
torial nominees.
The Boston & Albany express due at
Bridgeport at 8:34 struck and killed a
man at the Kossuth street crossing last
VVednes day night.
Gatetender Howard at the crossiLg
lowered the gates for the north bound
Naugatuck freight to pass. The head
light of the west bound express had
mad run. He ducked under the gate
just in time to be struck by the express.
The engineer of the express saw the
man too late. He slowed down and
stopped before he reached the bridge.
An examination of the locomotive dis-
closed the body of a man wedged under
the overhang of the boiler. The man
was dead when removed. The body
was placed on the train and taken to
the station where it was placed in the
baggage room. Medical Examiner
Downs found no external wounds on
the body but the skull had been crushed
in by the iron front 01" the locomotive,
causing instantaneous death.
The body was that of'a man'20 years
of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height. weight
about 140 pounds. He was dressed in
ordinarv working clothes, black shirt
and da1 k suit, in the pockets of which
were found a copy of the New Haven
Guide, a piece of soap, Wrapped in a,
fragment of a New Haven paper, a
small mirror, a whisk broom and a
pamphlet souvenir of the Mission of
the Redemptionist Fathers.
The body was that of a clean, young
fellow of the working class, who had
evidently been in New Haven recently.
William G. James a Rowayton oyster-
man while engaged at his avocation
not far from RotonPoint,earlyVVednes~
day afternoon, made a ghastly find of
the corpse of a man.
He made fast to the body and towed
it to the beach west of Roton Point,
and Medical Examiner Burke was
summoned. _
The Medical Exammer made an ex-
amination and ordered the remains
transfered to Raymond’s morgue where
they now are.
The body had evidently been in the
water for a week or more. There was
an ugly cut on the left side of the man’s
throat, apparently Caused by some
sharp edged instrument as the cut was
a clean one. There were no other
marks of wounds about the body.
The impression prevails that either
the man was a victim of foul play or
that he committed suicide by first cut-
ting his throat and then jumping over-
board from a sound steamer.
He was of medium height fairly well
dressed in dark clothes, with sack coat,
and wore light weight laced shoes. He
was about 60 years of age, had gray
hair, and was partially bald. He also
wore a mustache._ He wore a blue
string necktie, but no jewelry of any
kind. There was nothing in his pock-
ets by whiCh he could be identified.
The remains await the order of the
Coroner and they will probabl y be
interred at the Town Farm to-da'y.
It is a mystery that may never be
solved, as neclue whatever as to the
man’s identity can be gained.

The third case of lockjaw within the
past few weeks, has developed in Dan-
bury,the patient being Julius Newfield,

About four weeks ago Julius acci-

Mr. Gray stood as firm as a telegraph

his hat and walked on, but it was

There is one word which is misused
by every journalist and every author ,
wherever the English language is writ-
ten—the word “people.” Mr. Howells ,
for instance, in one of his delightful
novels speaks of “three people” sit-
ting in a room. Now, if two of these
“people” were to withdraw, one “peo-
ple” would be left—and very much
left! It seems unnecessary to state—
and yet it is necessary to state it—-that
“people” is a collectiVe noun, and can
properly be applied only to nation, a
tribe, a class, a community. It is quite
admissible to say, “How are your pen-
ple?”'—ineaiiiiig your family, your ch: 12;
but such a phrase as “Fifty people
were injured,” or “A hundred people
were present ” me not conveitible
terms. For twenty-five years 01‘ 3‘19
I have kept my eye on this little wmd
“people," and I have yet to find a sin-
gle American or English author who
does not misuse it. In the course of
200 01' 300 years ,the correct employ-
ment of it may possibly become gen-
eral.——New York Critic.
A Ydutll-ful Preacher.
John Edward De Merrit, of New-
port, Ncb., although only thirteen
years old, is attracting general atten—
tion by his ability as a preacher. He
has preached at Fort Scott, Kan, Ne-
vada, Mo., and many other Kansas
and Missouri towns. He was licensed
to preach by the Baptist Church of
Fort Scott last year, since which time
he has been travelling in the rural
districts. He is not yet out of knee-
breeches, and has all the airs of a
child except his delivery as a pulpit
orator. He is said to have read the
Bible through a number of times, and,
though having attended school but lit-
tle, to be well read in theological and
general literature. He preaches in
churches of all denominations—New

A New Family Discovered in Ah ica which
can Scarcely Be Seen.
Dr. J. W. Gregmy, of the Natic:
History Museum, of London, 1".epo .s
the discovery of a family of Af1i<221
: monkeys that adds anothei cu1io i. v ‘:
. the wonders of the zoos,pr0v1d€d tlr,”
Iare fmtunate enough to obtain spccl
mens.
l The black stemmed trees in wll. ch
they make their homes are thickly
draped with gray beard moss or lichen.
'hich reaches for several feet below
the boughs. .As the monkeys hang
from the branches Dr. Gregory says
that they so closely resemble the lichen
that he found it impossible to recog-
' nizc them even when only a short dis-
tance away. .
These monkeys are known to the na—
tives of certain districts of East Af-
rica by the name of guereza. They be-
long to the group of thumbless apes
which are restricted to the African
continent, where they take the place
of the langurs, or sacred apes, of In4
iia and other Oriental countries. From
the other thumbless apes the guerezas,
or the species to which that name
properly applies, are distinguished by
their long, silky, black and white
coats, which are much sought after
by the natives of Africa as articles of
their scanty costume and for purposes
of decoration-New York Herald.
