On Sunday morning last, a grocer in
South Norwalk’was roused out of bed
by a young man who was going fishing
and who wanted to purchase some
crackers and cheese to take along for
lunch. When the grocer appeared at
the front door of his residence the
young man said he wantedto purchase
fifty cents worth of crackers and
cheese. He was advised by the grocer,
that owing to the Sunday law he could
not sell him the desired edibles.
Throwing open his coat and displaying
a pint bottle of whiskey in each inside
pocket he exclaimed—“This is a h—l
of a city ! You can get all the rum you
want but can’t get a loaf of bread.”
The burglar whoentered the Bulk-
ley homestead at Southport Tuesday
night was captured in Saugatuck yes-
terday morning by Constable Allen
who had been on the watch during the
night, having been notified soon after
thelburglary. When captured the man
had the gold watch and diamond rings
taken from the Bulkley home were on
his person. He gave the name of Har-
ry Mead, but refused to give any fur-
ther account of himself. Later in the
day he was arraigned before Justice
Howard N. W'akeman at Southport on
a charge of burglary. Mead pleaded
guilty to the charge and was bound
over to the next term of the Superior
court, in $1,000 bonds.
Mead is a sleek looking man about 30
years old and gives evidence of being
out of the ordinary line of petty thieves.
He refused to give any account of him-
self except that he had last worked at
South Beach on Stat-en Island. The
police think that he is an expert second
story thief and that he has a record as
a crook which will develope later. He
was taken to the county jail yesterday
afternoon where,,he will remain until
his trial.
The lady who discovered Mead at
the Bulkley homestead was Miss Dora
Bulkley. Her sister Lena was in the
house at the timepbut had no encoun-
ter with the burglar.
The Republican caucus in New Ca-
naan Tuesday night was the most
largely attended of any ever held in
that town. Not less than 400 men took
part in the‘ proceedings in the Opera
House. The feature of the caucus was
the overwhelming defeat of Grand J ur-
. or Lew Benedict and Constable Sam
Raymond, who were candidates for re-
nomination. Benedict _ was roundly
hissed, and received only 20 votes of
350 cast. Raymond’s defeat was not so
pronounced. Their unpopularity is
due to their prominence in recent
liquor raids and more especially to the
singular attitude of Benedict towards
the Sunday law.
George E. Raymond, the present first
selectman. was given second place on
the ticket, and Selectman Alva L.
Dickens failed of renomination. It was
nearly midnight when balloting was
over.
The following is the full ticket as
nominated: Selectmen, Joseph F. Sil-

At the Morgue of D. W. Raymond in
South Norivalk, there lies the body of
a young man a victim of “death on the
rail.”
‘ At an early hour this morningOflicei
Pennington of South Norwalk‘was not-i-
fied that a man had been killed by a
railroad train near Pine Island, by the
‘2. o’clock up freight train, Engineer
McConville and Conductor lVeyler. .
The officer notified Coroner Burke
who 0 'dered the remains taken to Ray-
mond’s morgue.
A crunching under the car wheels
warned the men on the train that some-
body had been run over and the train
was stopped and the lifeless body of a
man was found beside the tracks.
Just how he met death is not known,
but the nature of his injuries would
suggest that he was either lying on
the tracks or that he had fallen from
one of the cars, as they were confined
chieliy to his head.
His jaw is broken in such a manntr
that it falls on to his n: ck and his
tongue was exposed to the roots.
main out being on the right side of his
face which is lmdly abrased. A clear
The -‘ 8'
cut‘hole not unlike a bullet wound is
seenxover his left upper lip. His skull
is fractured in one or more places, any
one of'which wounds would probably
have caused death. *
He was about 5 feet 4 inches in
height, smooth face, and appeared to
be about 20 years of age. He had black
hair, brown eyes, and hands that seem-
ed to be unused to laborious work al-
though they were somewhat begrimed
with dirt. He wore a black frock coat,
a dark sack coat, black vest and trous-
ers, black socks, gray underclothing
and a striped collarless outing shirt.
On his feet were a pair of well worn
lady-”s kid button shoes, but partially
buttoned, a black Derby hat was also
found.
No marks of identification were
found about his person. A paper of
.“shorts” tobacco and a few small onions
were found in his trousers pockets.
It is thought that he was a "man on
the road” a member of what is known
as the tramp fraternity. His apparent
young age though lends a doubt to this
theory.
The remains are being placed in {a
recognizable shape by funeral director
Raymond and his identity may yet be
established.

A stupendous public work has been
completed in part in Boston. A large
section of the subway for street cars
is now in operation, and is the first
to be operated in any city in the Unit-
ed States.
Old Boston, as is well known,
abounds in narrow, crooked streets.
The traffic on the trolley cars is im—
mense. The greater portion of the nu-
merous routes pass over a main line
that traverses Tremont street. A con-
gestion of traffic existed during por-
tions of the day that virtually blocked
the way of the surface cars. The St b-
way absorbs all this.
The subway is constructed of brick
and steel. Portions consist of oval
Other portions have straight brick
walls with steel girders crossing over-
head supporting short brick arches.
The average descent to the stations
is about 16. feet. On the New York
elevated railways the lowest station
platform is about 19 feet above the
street level, and the average height is
211/2 feet. The stairs are of hard blue-
stone, with broad “treads” and short
easy rises.
The stations have hard stone plat-
forms.‘ There can be no crossing the
tracks. There is a ticket station at
the foot of the entrance stairs and
turnstiles at the exit stairs.
The stairways are covered above
ground by massive granite structures,
with glass roofs. The architecture is
severely plain, of the classic type, sug-
gesting ancient Greek tombs.
The ventilation of the subway is ap-
parently perfect." Fresh air is drawn
in at the stations and is caused to flow
in each direction by fans. It is ex-
hausted through special openings at
the side.
The lighting is by electric lamps, the
curent for which is derived from a
special plant. The illumination is
brilliant, so that the passengers in the
cars will not be incommoded. News-
papers may be read in any portion of
the subway.
The difference between the Boston
subway and the London underground
lines is very great. The latter are
operated by steam locomotives and are
not provided with artificial ventila-
tion. Any person who has traveled
in the cars of the London underground
will remember the smoky, gaseous
horrors of the journey. The engineer
of the New York Rapid Transit Com—
mission reported that one of the New
York elevated 10comotives vitiates the
air as much as the respiration of 25,-
000 people. .
The temperature ‘of the Boston sub-
way is cooler in summer and warmer
in winter than the outside air. It will
be more agreeable to travel in winter
in the subway than it would to travel
on the surface. The motorman will
encounter no wind, rain or snow.
There will be no teams to avoid. No
children wil be in front of the cars.
No people dodging across the tracks
oblivious of danger. Stopping and
starting will occpr only at the stations.
There has been no serious engineer-
ing difficulty encountered. There were
an immense number of pipes to be re-
moved and changed, but this work was
merely a, matter of time and detail.
The most diflicult portion of the work
was on Washington street. Here the
line burrowed down ten feet below the
foundations of the buildings on either
side, and the excavations extended on
each side to within two feet of the
line of the basement walls. The work
was conducted along Tremont street
with the full tide of traflic going on
overhead.
At present over 32,000,000 passen-
gers are transported yearly over some
portion of the route covered by the
subway. It is estimated that the Sub-
way will increase the number to 60,-
000,000 passengers in less than one-
half the time now taken to traverse
the route if on time. They will be re-
lieved from the absolute uncertainty
which now exists on account of fre-
quent street blockades. They will
move with the same certainty as on
trains on a steam railway.

John J. McCullagh, New York’s new;

conspicuous member of the depart-

further his work. When the reform
board came into power McCullagh was
brought to headquarters, and in 1895
he was made inspector. Since then he
has done inspector’s work on captain’s
pay. He was favored by Theodore
Roosevelt for promotion, but Chief
Conlin would not recommend him.

it has taken two years to break the

important changes will be made in
the police force as a result of the
change in the executive headship.
The Egyptian Climate.
It is one of the peculiarities of Egyp-
tian atmosphere that itpreserves ra--
ther than destroys. The Cleopatra’s
needle, which was as perfect when
brought to this country as when it
was set up originally, had hardly been
exposed to the raw air of Central Park
before it began to crumble. The pyra-
mids themselves would have been
shapeless ruins long ago if they had
stood on American soil. Thanks to
their preservative quality the literary
remains of Egypt, if only decipher-
able, are plainly legible. The original
of our own Declaration of Indepen»
dence has nearly faded out, but an
Egyptian papyrus, however old, is still
distinct.
Time for Serious Thoughts.
Make time for serious thoughts. Let
no day pass without some memory of
solemn things. Each morning as you
rise remind yourselves that “God
spake these words and said.” Each
evening as you lie down to rest let
God‘s angels close the door of your
heart on thoughts of purity and peace.

AN ELEPHANT’S FOOT.
the Circumference Proved to lie Nearly
Half the Animal's Height.
Any one who has even glanced at
the foot of an elephant must be aware
that it is a ponderous piece of anatomy, '
but its actual size is best illustrated~
by an anecdote. , .
Two men in the Central. Park Zoo of
New York were speaki‘ngon this sub-
ject, and one of them thought the cir-
cumference of the foot must measure
at least four feet.
His friend laughed at this, but the
Younger man, after a second time guag-
ing the size, insisted that his guess was
correct.
“Nonsense—quite impossible!” ex-
claimed his friend.
And then, as the younger man still
claimed that he was right, they laid a
wager and referred the matter to the
keeper. ‘
“What is the circumference of the
fore foot of that big elephant?” they
asked. ,
“The circumference of an eiephant’s
foot is very nearly half the animal’s
height,” replied the keeper.
“Will you be so good as to measure
it?” asl:::l the amazed visitor.
And ‘the keeper got a long cord and
went in beside the monster, Bazzle,
who stands eight feet, five inches in
height. '
“Of course I measure while the ani—
mal is standing squarely on all fours,”
he said. “If I were to take the foot up
from the floor, it would not be quite
so large; a small part of that size is
caused by the spreading out of the soft
matter» of the foot by thepressure of
the animal’s own weight.”
He drew the cord around the monster
foot, held it up, and measured it with
a. tape line. The figures showed four
feet, two inches.
The man who had lost the bet paid it,
with e remark that he did not think
he Was paying too. dearly for that‘gcu—
rious bit of knowledge—Golden Days.
EFFACED THE MOON.
A Story “'hich ‘Many Persons “fill Believe
Quite Characteristic. .
The story told about President Lin-
coln obtaining the dismissal of a client
who was under arrest for burglary,
and in dangerof conviction because
the prosecuting witness said he identi-
fied him in the moonlight, by prod'uc-
lng an almanac to prove the moon did
not shine that night, was not the first '
time the idea was worked to perfec-
tion. , ,
John Philpot Curran, the famous
lawyer, had a client who was identified
under the same circumstances. The
prosecuting witness saw the prisoner
leaving a house that had just been en-
tered by burglars , on a moonlight
night. Curran producedl3 almanacs,
12 of which he handed to the jury and
one to the judge. The almanacs show-_
ed the moon was not visible on the
night in question.
The prisoner was dismissed. After
the trial Curran’s client asked what
his fee was. ‘
“Twenty pounds,” said the attorney.
“Isn’t that pretty steep?” queried
the client. '
“No,” said Curran. “I get only £2
cf that; the other £18 goes to the fel-
fol I got to print those almanacs with
the moon left out.”—‘Chicago Journal.
