A new telephone has recently been tried

Passengers on the Branch road down
Thursday morning were somewhat start-
led by the sudden blowing cf the engine
whistle, which had a far away sound.

engine having broken loose from the
train and gone on ahead. The loss of
the train was not discovered at once.
owing to dense steam which settled
down over the tender and cut of! the

Everybody that uses kerosene for light
knows the trouble there is in trimming
the lamps so as to get the best flame.
No matter how carefully the wick is
trimmed, in turning it up and down
it will almost always be higher on one
cud than the other, and while a long jet
is sent out on one side. the other will
give but little light. “71211,. all this is
easily overcome now by a new burner
for which Geo. W. Day has the agency,
or rather anew appliance toold burners.
By means of a double rachet for moving
the wick it can be straightcncd at any
time and made togivc a full light. . The
expense is only trifling over the ordinary
burner, but its advantages are very great.
Go and see it at Day‘s.

Slukliig Into the Ground.
Monday a Bridgeport young lady—and
not a very heavy weight either—sic iped
upon the lower rail of a fence to ook
into a neighbor's yard. As she jumped
back to the ground she was astonished
to find herself rapidly sinking into the
soft earth up to the armpits. She strug-
gled to escape but in vain. Then she
tried the usual feminine resort of scream-
ing. This brought assistance in the
shape of a very stout lady. who also
went down in the earth half way up to
her waist. Then there was a duett of
shrill shrieks, and more assistance in the
shape of a gentleman who relieved both
ladies from their unpleasant predica-
ment after some efl'crt, The cause of
the disaster was the caving in of an old
and unused cessrxxil or cistern. This
had been covered over with earth which
the late rains had moistened. The ladies
sustained no injury—Bridgeport News.

Too much “long"
The Hartford Coma: says that the
constant “hello" through the telephone
has worn out the voice of one of the op-
erators at the telephone office in that
place. Min Beale oslyn, who has been
employed for upwards of a year in the
operating room, baa this Week been
stricken with a severe throat affection
which has rendered her unable to speak
louder than a whisper. Doubts are en-
tertained of her recovery. Twice before
she has been affected similarly. but the
attacks wen very mild in comparison
with the present one. It is believed that
the constant strain on her voice in oper—
ating the telephone is the cause of her
trouble. _
A Dishonest Pollen Captain.
The resignation of Captain Sheridan
from the police force, in which he ths
served for twenty years, was a surprise
to the people of New Haven. and when
the cause, which was made ublic Mon-
day night before the Police immission-
ers, became-known. surprise was scored-
cd by astonishment. During the last
week in October a report came to the
knowledge of two of the Commissioners
that money taken from prisoners who
were arrested in Capt. Sheridan‘s re
cinct. was not returned to them w en
released. An investigation was made,
and to test the case fully a detective
from New York was employed. He
disguised himself and wms arrested in
Capt. Sheridan‘s precinct for drunken~
ness, giving the name of “’illiam Howell.
“‘hen arrested he had on his person $27.
38, which was taken from him. In the
morning he was discharged by the Chief.
but on y a" of is money was
returned. A second time he was arrese
ed under the name of Herbert Williams.
and the amount of money taken from
him was $12.10. He was again disch
by the Chief. and, after receiving is
money, reported that. only $10.06 had
been returned to him, leaving a de-
ficiency of $9.10. A second New York
detective was employed, who worked
it n the same plan. On his arrest, Capt.
Slizridan took $14.22,!tnd on his discharge
only $71.06 was returned. This was suf~
flcient evidence, and the Commissioner.
