Companion Broke Through and Went Down Twice When He Was Saved, SEYMOUR, Conn., Jan. 12.—-Albert Dearly, has proved himselfa little hero, and to his presence of mind and pluck at a critical moment a companion owes his life. Young Deady, who is but 11 years of age, was playing with a num- ber of comrades on the ice on the Tinque Pond, Tuesday afternoon. Among the party was Philip Kellar, a say about the same age as Deady. As the fun was running high, young Kellar ventured on to a thin spot. Lit- tle‘realizing his danger he went too far There was instantly a crackling and a splash, and Kellar sank into the water. There was instantly a panic among most of the boys. Kellar sank out of sight and was in danger of drowuing. Deady alone proved himself equal to the Occasion. Seeing that his playmate was nearly drowned he went to his aid and by careful work succeeded in pulling him out but just as he was sinking thethird time. ' The victim was almost ctrercomo when rescued from his terrible position but soon recovered and hurry home to rid himself of his drench- was able to edclothing. _ Deady himself escaped a wetting be- yond his feet. The incident to him seemed of little importance and at'home he said nothing of it at first. Wednes- day, his sisters learned of the affair and their brother’s courageous part in it, asked him why he had said nothing of it. His reply was a modest one to the effect that he did not think it amounted to much and not worth men- tionlng. ——-————-—-———‘0-0'—-—"~—- Cake Walkers.

Bridgeport Bricklayers Have Given Notice and Bosses May Grant It. Ains- ‘The Bridgeport Bricklayers’ and Plasterers’ Union has sent out notices that they will, commencing April lst, demand an eight-hour day, with full pay, $3.50 per day. This notice has been received by sev- eral contractors. The master masons have consulted and a movement is on foot to calla meeting to take some ac- tion in the matter. The bosses are not altogether hostile to the demands, and will eventually concede to them, but they object to paying higher wages on jobs that they firured on before they had an inkling of what the men were going to ask. <-:-= MILK VERY SCARCE. Probability that Stamford Dealers Wili Soon Advance the Price- - STAMFORD, Jan. 12.——It is said by a man conversant, with such matters, that not in several years has milk been so scarce as at present. As it happens, feed is just now high in price and these two facts would indicate that the price of milk will soon go up. The small dealers who buy the bulk of their supply, are having a hard time to meet the demands of their customers, and those who have not advanced the price, it is said,are losing money on the trans- action. A _,considerable quantity of milk is being brought to this city from Stanwich, and some come from Red- ford. “—..—’— —‘¢-I>~— Has Resigned- Harry W.
