large number of the militiamen. The
privilege of reading the extensive collec-

Surgeon Watson and Hospital Steward
Northrup, of the Fourth regiment, were
on duty at the brigade hospital, Monday.
This institution, by the way. is the great.
est in the camp, and many a militiamen
has to thank the efficient officers in
charge for the good health he enjoys
during camp, and disallow long um-
ward on account of the medicine which

 

appearing building, and in this all the
medical stores can be left under lock and
key between encampments. Each.regf-
ment has received new sets of surgical
instruments, and it is expected that,
with the complete sets already on hand,
they will prove sufficient for any emer-
ncy.

There are many other improvements
in camp this year, the greatest of which
is the rifle range on the newly purchased
addition to the camp ground on the west.
This plot has been graded, and thousands
of loads of earth emptied in the large de-
pression in the center of the field. The
targets were erected by McKone Brothers,
of Hartford. The work is not yet com-
pleted, however, and it doubtful if the
range is used during this encampment.

Field Notes.

The non-commissioned staff of the
various regiments have sent a petition to
brigade headquarters, requesting that
the members be given the use of the
platforms and dye that were attached to
their tents last year. The camp this year
was laid out by Major Howard A. Gid-
dings, brigade signal officer, and the
non-commissioned officers have a street
of their own in the rear of the commis-
sioned ofiicera’ street. The change is not
appreciated in the least, and in conse-
quence the members are endeavoring to
better their condition as much as possi'
ble. Major Sheridan has christened the
Fourth’s non-commissioned street the
"Midway Plaisance,” possibly not so
much on account of its location as be-
cause of the “ghost" dances indulged in
by Commissary Burton.

“Judge" William H. Murray, 11 musi-
cian in Company D, is playing in hard
luck. In the departure from South Nor-
walk he was so fearful of losing the train
that he thought he would not be encum-
bered with his knapsack, so he left it re-
posing calmly on a settee in the depot
waiting room. The indispensable article
was sent up yesterday, however, by
Oscar F. Morrell, of the Adams Express
company, who was tendered a vote of
thanks by the Judge. Shortly before the
arrival in camp of the knapsack, Judge
was arranging some flags in Captain
Rose’s tent, when he fell out of a chair,
striking his nose against the iron frame-
work of the cot, and cutting a gash about
an inch long across his nasal organ. Ile
paid Surgeon Watson 11 visit and the lat-
ter dressed the wound, so Judge is able
to appear at drills. '

Captain Caleb Wood, of East Norwalk,
with his yacht “Seabird," and Captain
Webb and Edward Fowler, of Fitch‘s
Soidiers’ Home, as crew, arrived here,

, Sunday, and have been the guests of

morrow for New Haven, from which
point they will go across the Sound to

land.

At the conclusion of tho regimental

THE TALE OF A DOVE.

A Strange Incident In the Closing Manolo!
a Murdmr’s Ufa.

"I can recall a strange incident that
has never found its way into print,"
said a member of the New York con-
grossional delegation too Post reporter.
“It happen -d in Long Island, in the
Queens comfly jail. and, to say the least,
is tinged \Virh u strangeness. Patrick
Casey, a Long Island (3in policeman,
was an inmate of the jail, under the
sentence of death for the dvliberute
murder of his suporior officer, Sergeant
Cnuxiskcy. The rupruwz11ul‘ivc in con

gross from the Fll‘b‘l. 1-1.1: :i‘t‘SSlOllfll dis-
trict of New York, durum W. Covert,
was Casey‘s counsel and Sill'l'f.‘t:tll‘(l in
having his sentence caunmutcd to im-
prisonment for life. 011 the day Casey
was sentenced to death a pure white
dove flew in the courtronu window and
alightcd on his shoulder.

“The dove rcfusod to be removed, tic--
companion] flashy bur-k to his cell and
became his constant companion. At the
same time Charles Rugg, the notorious
negro murderor, was also an inmate of
the jail, awaiting trial for the murder
of Mrs. Lydia Maybe and her daughter.
Just previous to the day set for his trial
.Rugg escaped from the jail, but two
days later was captured and returned to
the jail. The day of his capture was the
day set for Casey’s removal to Sing
Sing to serve his life sentence. As he
was being taken from the jail and while
in the sheriff's office being prepared for
his journey Rugg was led in by his
capturers. All this time the dove had
been perched on Casey’s shoulder, but
as soon as Rugg was led in thedove. flew
from Casey’s shoulder and over to Rugg,
alighting on his shoulder, cooing as if
it had found a long lost friend.

“All efforts on the part of Cast-y to
call it back were in vain, and as Rugg
was led back to the cell from which he
escaped the dove went with him. It re-
mained with him up to the morning of
the execution. (.lx1fhzit11mr11i11g as Rugg
marched up the scaffold the dove was
perched on his shoulder and remained
there until the black cap was drawn
over his fut-1 -. As soon :15 that was done

An Unsuccessful Attempt to'luter an

Residence or 311111.]!- mush-area. ‘

ea Found on the floor and a ladder Us
the Outside.

An unsuccessful attempt was made to
burglarize the residence of Mrs. H. 3.
Clarke, on East avenue. Norwalk, about
1 o clock Monday morning.

The intruders gained an entrance to
the house by removing a screen from an
open window in the mood story, which
they reached by means of a ladder. The
screen was afterward found lying on the
ground. No trace can be found that
they got any further than the heck ball,
into which the window opened. Mrs.

Clarke is of the opinion that the barking .

of a dog owned by William Lockwood,
who resides next door. frightened the
burglars away. The noisemade by the
dog'awakened Mrs. Clarke: and getting
up she proceeded to investigate.
discovered nothing until the next morn-
ing, whens number of square sulphur
matches were found lying on the floor of
the back hall. They had evidently been
used by the burglars to light their way.
They were scattered from the window
down stairs to the back door, as if it was
the intention to open it and secure a
free exit in case they had to make a bar-
lied flight.

In- examining the yard Mrs. Clarke.

found by the side of the barn an eighteen-
foot ladder which had once been painted
brown, but was now covered with paint.
Two rounds were missing and a strip had
been nailed across.

Mrs. Clark proposes to have the matter
thoroughly investigated. No claimant
has yet appeared for the ladder.

RAISING SICK BENEFITS.

A New Plan to be Discussed by the hu-
proved Order of lied Men.

At the meeting of Uncas Tribe, Im-
proved Order of' Red Men, which, takes
place tonight, 11 new plan of raising sick
benefits will be brought up for discus-
sion. The Great Council of the Uniwd
States has issued a circular, urging all
tribes to adopt the assessment plan 1111.:
means of raising sick and death be’eilts
in every individual tribe.

This scheme involves reducing regular
does from the usual sum of $6, to say
:34, per annum, making that sufficient
to cover the regular expenses of the
tribe. Then to create and maintain a
fund for the paymentof sick and death
benefits, levy the first of next January,
an assessment of $1 on each member
of a tribe. Whenever the payment of
benefits should have exhausted 75 per
cent. of the fund so raised, another as-
sessment of *1 pr member shall be
laid. Such payments to be collected
from members once in two months or
once in fifteen months as the depletion
of die fund may riquire.

It is believed the new plan will be gen-
erally adopted throughout the United
States. So far as discussed, it has met
the approval of South Norwalk Red Men.

The L'ucas Tribe committee appointed
to tons-uh r the matter, will report at the
"feeling tonight.
