A Fire Mishap.
Mrs. William Saunders, of East Nor-
walk, one day this week narrowly es-
caped being burned to death. A calico
wrapper which she had on while work-
ing about her home caught fire from
the kitchen range, and blazing up
badly singed her hair, but luckily
caused no serious burns, before the
flames were extinguished.

Dr. Nancy s—a—yst'he Is Tired
of Being Pursued By
Authorities.
Will Sail For America on the Lucania
Saturday.
Sheriff Hawley hasreceived a letter
from Detective Edward Cronan an-
nouncing that he will sail on the
steamer Lucania-on Saturday next with
Dr. Nancy Guilford as his prisoner.
He states that all the preliminaries
have been carried out according to the
laws of England and everything is in
readiness for the trip home. Both
Detective Cronan and Matron Hill, who
accompanied him, state that they have
received every courtesy at the hands
of the English officers and are strong
in their admiration of English methods.
A few days ago the oflicials of the
prison where Dr. Guilford is held, in-
formed her that the oflicers had arriv-
ed from America to take her back. She
at first manifested no interest in the
announcement but later began to cry.
Then she asked who the officers were.
She had a woman’s curiosity and it led
her to make an unguarded admission
which was equivalent to an admission
of her identity which she has hereto-
fore refused to yield. She has always
claimed that she was Mrs. Wilbur of
California and that She was an unfor-
tunate woman and the victim Ofcir-
cumstances. '
When the name of Detective Cro-
nan was mentioned to her, however,
she said that she had heard of such a.
man and that she knew he lived but a
short distance from her in America.
She intimated that She was glad the
officer was some one she knew. She
was then informed that Mrs. Hill, the
police matron, was also in England a: d
would accompany her on the return
trip. Dr. Guilford made the same re
ply Hill.
says she is ready to meet what may
in regard to Mrs. he
come.
It is expected that Detective Cronan
and his prisoner will arrive in this
country a week from next Saturday.

Select Winter Gowns Early.
It is a. question to many women
Whether it is advisable to select fabrics
for winter gowns as early as this, in
View of the fact that new designs and
materials are constantly added to the
lmporter’s display during the entire au-
tumn season. On the other hand, it is
very certain that with so many differ-
ent weaves put upcn the market, be
early shoppers have unlimited choice,
which is not afforded then: later on.
This has been proved over and over
again by women who have bought some
stylish or handsome texture when it
first appeared, and later on, wishing to
match these same goods, have been un—
able to do so. No duplicates are im-
ported in a single season or year. It is
therefore a very good rule to make a
purchase of an entirely satisfying pat-
tern or weave when one finds it, be it
early or late; to hesitate and decide to
wait is generally to lose the fabric de‘
sired or admired, especially in a. city
where tons of material are sold in a
single day.

Where Cyclists are Benefactors.
It is a. strange idea to many folk that
this could be so anywhere, but far
away in Siam, where bicycling is the
pleasure of princes and nobles, it seems
likely to have an enormous effect for
the benefit of the country.
Up till now the roads in Siam have
been, excepting in the towns, few in
number and very bad. It is clearly no
good to be an enthusiastic cyclist with-
out the roads on which to ride, and the
Siamese aristocracy have fully realized
the fact. The result is that new roads
are to be made which will be practical
for the pneumatic tire, and incidentally
of the greatest service commercially,
for hitherto an immense amount of the
produce of the country has been wasted
for lack of the means for taking it into
the towns for sale. It is hoped that the
fashionable bicycling craze may result
in a good system of roadways through-
out the country.

Wealthy lumen Freezing
Out Small Fry.
Prices to Be cut Down one Third by the
Combine.
If report iscreditable the oyster busi-
ness in this state this season will see
some important developments, along
lines that may not prove entirelysatis-
factory to some of the smaller dealers.
The story is going the rounds, eman-
ating from responsible sources» that a
wealthy, and influential syndicate is
being formed to control all the whole
sale and important trade along the
Connecticut coast line.
The ultimate idea in the formation
of such a syndicate is the freezing out-
of many of the smaller wholesalers,‘
and the gobbling up of the entire
wholesale trade. This is to be done,
it is claimed, by concertéfit action
among the members of the trust, and
the fixing of prices and securing of
trade on such a large scale as would
effectual] y shut out all competition.
Inquiry among the wholesalers in
N ewHaven elicited theinformation that
such a report as is outlined about, is
in the air, and may amount to some-
thing. Just who are behind the "pro-
posed syndicate is diflicult of ascertain-
ment. The most vigorous pushers of
the idea are out of town capitalists, al-
though it is rumored that at least two
large dealers in New Haven are work-
ing in combination with them. An oyster
dealer said yesterday that he un-
derstood that three New York gentle-
men, a South Nor-walk wholesaler, an
a speculator who lives in Bridgeport
were at the bottom of the scheme, and
that the syndicate was nearly com-
pleted as far as its paper plant went.
Jeremiah Smith of Jeremiah Smith
& Sons, Of New Haven, said: “I Shave
heard of the scheme, and I think there
may be something in it. It is an idea.
that has been broached several times,
and a strong syndicate could undoubt-
edly do business on a large scale. I
understood that the present scheme is
to combine all the large wholesalers
all along the Shore and control all the
oyster output. I know very little about
it, however.”
The prices which are now almost
universal of 90 cents a gallon and $1.00
a bushel shell oyster may be out down
by one—third if the syndicate goes into
Operation. There will be considerable
Opposition to the scheme among the
smaller dealers, as an oyster trust will
Seriously impair the general business
done here.
SIOO Reward $l00.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Ca-tarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Cat-arch
Cure is taken internally, acting direct-
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
‘ the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it falls to cure.

About two months ago Mrs. George J.

a cut on her right foot, by stepping
upon a jagged piece of glass. The
wound healed up, but of late the foot
has caused Mrs. Bailwitz considerable
pain. It is thought a portion of the
glass is still’in the foot. An operation
on the foot‘will be performed by Dr.
W. J. Tracey this afternoon, for the
purpose of removing the glass.
