Taken to the Hospital in the'
Ambulance.
One of the Victims Suffers the Loss of
Three Fingers.
N. McGrath and William Crawford
were taken to the Norwalk hospital
in the ambulance last night.
It seems that they jumped from a
freight train at South Norwalk and
suffered serious injuries.
They were found lying along side
of the tracks and Dr. Coburn was
summoned who ordered them taken to
the hospital.
McGrath suffered a severe injury to
his hip but it is not thought that it is
ofa nature that will keep him long
confined at the hospital.
Crawford’s injuries necessitated the
amputation of a portion of one of his
bands including three fingers.
The amputation was made by Dr. W
J. Tracey, he being assisted by Dr.
Hitchcock.
Both men received bruises and skin
abrasions of minor import.
They claim to have jumped from a
freight train while 'it was in motion
and the claim seems to be substantiated
by their injuries.

Dragged the Anchor.
Last Sunday Messrs. Hurley, Barber,
Tully andNoonan started out on a fish-
ing expedition in a four oarcd boat.
After pulling hard against the tide for
half an hour, the boat making but slow
progress, an extra spurt was made
with the result that an oarlock was
broken, causing the boat to swerve
around when it was discovered that
hey had been dragging a twenty-live
pound anchor the entire distance. It
avas lifted into the boat after which the
craft worked to better advantage.

A Rare Opportunity.
The Boston Store opened up this
morning with what is appropriately
termed a maker-to—user sale. This
means that the manufacturers whose
goods they handle, have been obliged to
sell off their stocks, of which they ha d
a surplus, at immense reductions. The
Boston Store has taken advantage of
this great opportunity to purchase
these goods and lay them before their
customers at sacrificing prices. The
customers should. be as quick to grasp
the opportunity, and secure their win-
ter garments at a bargain. For par-
ticulars read the Interesting advertise,-

~ “Sam” Whittlesey Claims *0
Have Been Held Up by
‘ a Robber.
‘ The Man Said to Have Hall a Mask and a
Revolver.
“Sam” Whittlesey, colored, descend-
and two o’clock this morning with a
story that he had been “held up” by a
highwayman, at a point near the C. T.
Cornwall residence near France street.
He said that a man of gigantic
stature and wearing a mask had jump-
ed over the fence and demanded that
he, “Sam”hold up his hands and con-
sent to being searched for diamonds,
watches, money etc.
“Sam” tried to plead, so he says, with
the fellow, but to no purpose, and it
then suddenly occurred to him to run
and he did,” whereupon the highway-
man sent several revolver shots in hot
haste after him.
Captain Dann and Officer Bartram
made an investigation but did not suc-
ceed in finding the alleged highway-
man or anyone besides Whittlesey who
had heard the revolver shots.
The police incline to the belief that
Whittlesey was laboring under a hal-
lucination, but he stoutly sticks to the
truth of his story.
For Congress.
Mayor Bohannon, of Stamford,
still conducting his campaign for con-

all parts of this county who are desir-
ous of seeing him nominated and they
will make a hard fight in his behalf.
Charles M. Lynch, of New Preston and
State’s Attorney Hutchinson, of Litch-
field county, are said to be in the race
still and the contest may be interest-
ing. The convention will be held in
Danbury, next Tuesday. Mayor Bo-
hannon’s friends say that he will be the
only candidate when the convention
day arrives and that he will receive
the unanimous endorsement of both
county delegations.

Attempt to Blow Up House. _
Some person, at present unknowh,
made an unsuccessful attempt to blow
up a house owned by William R. Les-
lie, on Phoenix avenue, “Vaterbury, at
10:15 last night. Fortunately no lives
were lost, or even any one in-
jured, but the lower part of the house
was badly wrecked, and had the force
of the explosion been spent in a slightly
different direction, loss of life would
probably have resulted.

It will be gratifying to Asthmatic
readers to learn that an absolute cure
has at last been discovered by Dr.
Rudolph Schifiman. That the remedy
is an effectual one cannot be doubted
After perusal of such testimony as that
of C. W. Van Antwerp, Fulton, N. Y.
who saysz—“Your Asthma. Cure is the
best I ever used. I tried it according
to directions, and one box entirely
cured me of asthma, and I have not
had it since. I can now go to bed and
sleep all night with perfect comfort,
which I have not done before for 35
years and I thank you for the health
that I now enjoy. I hope that you will
publish this letter, that others may
learn of its wonderful virtues.”

Joshua Simpkins.
The “Joshua Simpkins” Company,

The piece deals with country life and
people, the acts of the play being laid
in one of the many quaint villages
of Vermont. In the third act a
sensational saw mill effect is shown,
which was very realistic. The com-
pany is a good one and received hearty

get the paper out somehow, and stand

you when you run for office, and lie
about your big-footed son when he gets
a four-dollar-a-wcek job, and weep
over your shrivellod soul when it is re-
leased from its grasping body, and
smile at your wife’s second marriage.
Don’t worry about the editor; he’ll get
along. The lord only knows bow-——but
