He is building an ark on the top of West Rock, a big hill near that city, five miles from water, ' and he says he is willing to take'aboard . all who have faith when the Almighty floods the land, which he predichs will . be the form of devastation which will visit the United States. He says the waters of, the Atlantic Ocean will be let looseupon the. land by the powerful hand of the Deity and the ’earth drown- ed out as it was in the early ages. “I believe that the wickedness which has made the United States degenerate morally will assuredly be punished. I am positive that the Almighty will roll the waters of the Atlantic and the Ptcific upon this broad country and t lat every acre of land will be com- ,.letely inundated. Even the highest peaksof the Rocky Mountains will go under, but I do not think it will be as long as the first flood was in the days of Noah. I have been sure of this ever since last summer, when I had a dream, in which Christ appeared to me in a vision and told me that the sins of the people would be wiped out by a flood, and that only a few of the purest mind- " ed people would be saved. He com- manded me to build a large boat capa- ble of abcommodating twenty people, and said that others of the faithful over the ltind would be instructed to do the same, so that there would be some people saved from the flood to repopu- late the land. “80‘ I am building my boat. expect the flood until next summer, and by that time I will be prepared for it.

John Tanner, one of the young bur- glars who escaped with his companion Ward Phillips from their cell at police headquarters on Friday night. Oc- tober 27th, was arrested in Greenwich by Sheriff Fitzroy last night, and brought back to Norwalk by Chief Bradley Wednesday. Sheriff Fitzroy was informed by two young boys that Tanner was in a pool room in that town, and the officeruvisit- ed the place and placed him under ar- rest. As soon as Tanner had been locked up the sheriif telephoned- Chief Brad- ley of the arrest, and upon the latter’s request a guard was placed over the young prisoner over night, Chief Brad- ley going to Greenwich on an early train Wednesday and returning with Tanner at 9 o’clock. As soon as the handcuffs were remov- ed from off his wrists and the cell door locked, Tanner called for a cigarette which was‘furnished him. After his escape Tanner says that he and Phillips went up Wilton avenue where they recognized young Parker and avoided him. They went to Silver Mine and then to Vista, Sing Sing, Tarl'ytown, Albany and Buffalo, steal- ing a ride on freight trains. From Buffalo they returned to Jersey City by way of the \Vcst Shore railroad. Between Norwalk and Jersey City, on the Pennsylvania railroad, Tanner says he and Phillips parted company and that he came on to Winnipauk and has been about town until last Satur- day when he went to Rowayt-on, Darien, Port Chester and finally on me back to Greenwich where he 11 as ar rested. He has not, he says , seen Phillips since. This statement is known to be a lie as officer Hunt has informatiou that both have been seen together within a few days On Saturday last Officer Hunt receiv- ed word that Tanner was at the “white bridge’ in B Let Fuda was murdered, but. when the Olli- \01' “all: 11 hole Mis. oer went to the scene Tanner saw him coming and made his escape through the woods. and on the following night went- to Rowayton. \Vin- nipauk to a party, where he. said he he. went Tanner adinits'having been in get intoxicated. tie says because he heard that Phillips was in that neighborhood. ‘- Hems thathe and Phillips had a \Tewark because the latter there quar1el at escaped from a box car and left him sleeping inside, both having been locked in by a brakeman who discover- ed their presence in the car. He also escaped and found Phillips asleep in a round house, and after a heated quar- rel they separated. If this statement is seen why he should come back to Win- true, it. is not nipauk in quest of Phillips. Tanner is an iveterate lia1, and it is believed by the officers that he and Phillips have been together all the time, and that the latter is now in bid- ing somewhere in Norwalk. Tanner was brought before the town courtaud bound over to the Superior court, and Chief Bradley took him to the Br‘idgeporl jail. The charges against young Tanner were three in number, and bonds were fixed at $800 on each co ourt. ————— «4.-.» 1-- 1’ Welcome Stranger Lodge. , The following ar e the new officers of Welcome Stranger Lodge, Sons of St. George: President, Stephen Woodward; vice- presideit, Joseph Whitely; treasurer, David Chittim; secretary, Frank Little- (fair; messenger, John Carr; assistant secretary, Thomas Blamire; trustee, l James Wood; assistant messenger, John Kelley; chaplain, Charles B.

The Pres: o! the Island Renoundn With McKinley’s Praise. HAVANA, Dec. 7.—President McKin- ley’s message to congress has been re- ocived by Cubans of all classes with much satisfaction. Even the leaders of the extreme party admit this, and the announcement that there will be no American civil governor has. cleared away most of the clouds that had been hanging over the Cuban political situa- tion. The Lucha alone among the pape1s still favors a civil governorship. General Collazo says. “The ineSSagc will pacify the country. President McKiiilcy‘s statements are not very concrete, but if congress guarantees the independence of Cuba we need not ask for any specification as to time or for the removal of the American troops, although everybody would be glad to see the black troops go because of the ex- cesses they commit. “Cubans fear the administration, but they do not fear congress. The adminis- tration represents the trusts. Although Cubans are as good business men as Americans they could not compete with the enormous power of the trusts, which, by creating monopolies, would eventually enslave the workingman. We wish to see each man owning some property, at least enough to-make it worth his .while to behave as a good citizen should,"im stead of going to the woods.” The Discusion says: “President McKinley’s message will fill the hearts of all lovers of Cuba'with joy. His words .‘VVhatever be the out- come, we must see to it that free Cuba be a reality, not a name,’ should be written in letters of gold over the door of the C11ba1erhite House. The Cuban republic will"be bound to Lincoln and McKinley by indissoluble bonds of love.” ' The Patria says: “Hurrah for President McKinley. He could not have spoken in clearer tones. It is impossible for the giddiness of con- quest to overpower the deep. natural im- pulse of a noble and democratic people.” The Cubano says: “The message Contains the clearest words yet spoken by President McKinley and shows that justice is the guiding principle at Washington. Our hearts, hitherto bowed down by tremendous skepticism. are now relieved, and we may expect congress to speak still more clear- 1y.” THE NEX' l' ENCAMPMENT. Grand Army of the Republic to Meet In Chicago Aug. 28. CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—The meeting of the national councilof the Grand Army of the Republic and the local general committee closed last night with a dinner and a reception to the visitors given by the department of Illinois G. A. R., the Woman’s Relief Corps and ladies of the Grand Army in honor of Commander Shaw and National President Harriet J. Badge of the TV. R. C. The dinner was served at the Palmer House and was fol- lowed by a reception in the general par- lors of the hotel.

The date for the encampment has been fixed from Aug. 28 to Sept. 1. Oklahoma and Statehood. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Go1-‘crnor Barnes of Oklahoma, in his annual re- port, estimates the present population of. the territory at 375,000, fully 90 per cent of whom are American born. He says that within the past year incoming set— tlers todk up nearly 750,000 acres of gov- ernment land. The school population has increased over 12 per cent. The territo- ry’s real taxable valuation is placed at $1.) 000 000. The governor says that it is best to wait for statehood a reasona- ble time until a union of Oklahoma and the Indian territory can be effected, as with its present boundaries statehood would double the expenses without com- mensurate benefit. The opening of the reservation occupied by the Wichita and affiliated tribes to settlement this year is urged. ‘ SerIl‘ou'E.
