There was a scare in the Grand Cen- tral Station last night. The Housaton- ic train due at 8. 30, came in andthe en- gine unhitched. The tracks were slippery and the engineer could not re- duce his speed in time. The engine ran into an Adams Ex- press car, whiCh was standing on a switch with another engine hitched to The rear of the express car was smashed 1n, and the boiler of the Hou- satonic locomotive was indented. The noise of escaping steam scared the passengers in the train and the peo- ple in the waiting rooms, and the hur-I, ried driving off of a lot’ of express wa- gons that had been around the baggage car added to the confusion that followed the smash It was ten or fifteen min- utes before things quieted d0wn.V . I SCHEELES LAST DAY Preparations ET the Execution .. To Morrow Complete How He VSpeVrIt -YeSterday The gallows on which Jacob Scheele is to hang until deaid to- mom ow morn- ing was erected in the county jail yard I yesterday. It took about an hour .to put everything 1n readiness for the ex- ecution. When the officials w ere ready to test the rope which Is an inch thick and 18 feet in length, the windows of Scheele’ s cell werE closed to prevent him from being excited by the sound of the drop, a bag :pr sand weighing 200 pounds: . :- 9.1 - The condemned» man, however, be- came aware of what was going on and said he was too hot. “Open the win- dows,”- he demanded, “I don’t wantgto burn 111) while I live, I know what they are doing; fixing that thing to kill me with.” ' . The windows were then opened and he heard the noise made by the drop- ping of the heavy bag. He did not mind it in the least. Scheele spent yesterday reading aird talking to his keepers. He seldom mentioned his approaching death and when he did so did not appear troubled in the least. He ate three hearty meals. At dinner he partook of roast lamb, which he is particularly fond of, potatoes, other vegetables, pudding, strawberries, cake and beer. He :smokes incessantly Sheriff Clarkson has given him several boxes of cigars. A bOx lasts him a few days only. His wife has not called to see him yet. Scheele’s funeral will take place Sun- day afternoon and will be from the un- dertaking rooms of August Lieberum. A—OQ. Arthur LovejoyVCared For. Yesterday. afternoon, by Order 1 of Selectman Daskam,Ofiicer Adams went to the Children’s Home arrested Arthur Lovejoy, aged 11 and brought him to town as an incorrigible. Sub- sequently at the request of Mr. Dask- am, the lad was turned over to his mother (who promised to look after him), by Justice Coolidge. So many 'stor1es are afloat“ respecting thism'atter that a DAILY GAZETTE representative interviewed Mr. Daskam at length this morning, and here is the substance thereof: Arthur Lovejoy had been an inmate of the Home about five years and as he is a bright boy, and was too old to be kept there any longer, Select- man Daskam, (whose good judgment and humanity in general can never be questioned), decided to find a good place for him. He was successful at the outset. Landlord McPherson want- ed just such a boy for the hotel office, to act as errand boy etc., and if Arthur had conducted himself properly - he would have had no better home than with Landlord and Mrs. McPherson. But he neglected his duties and his stay was short. Then Mr. Daskam found a good place for Arthur with a Ridgcfield farmer who wanted just such a lad to drive cows and do light chores about the house but not for field work as has been erroneously repre- sented. But Arthur was in solent and negligent and staid with the Ridgefield farmer two days, when he tramped back to the Children’s home. As it be- came evident that something must be done with him at once Selectman Dask- am determined to send Arthur to the Reform school at Meriden, but at the urgent entreaty of his mother and sev- eral friends he was given into her custo- dy and if he behaves himself he will be spared atrip to Meriden, This is the story, pure and simple, and Selectman Daskam seems to have acted with ex- cellent judgment and the most humane motives. - ._.-. _, A-» _ Connectlcut Soclety of the Cincln— natl.

Monday was an historical day at the little Connecticut town of Lebanon, and a great day for the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the Revolution. President Jonathan Trumbull with a few appropriate remarks introduced Senator Joseph R. Hawley, who made an eloquent address which was followed by Mr. Trumbull, accepting the J ona- than Trumbull war office. Speeches were also made by Colonel Russell, of Danielsonville, member of Congress ; the Rev. Dr. Samuel Buckingham of Springfield, brother of Governor Buckingham ; and by Mr. Jonathan F. Morris. Mr. Morris sketched the his- tory of Flag Day, showing that it is not intended as a day of noise and dis- order, but as a day for - appropriate decorations, picnics, and outdoor en- joyment. He told of the efforts of Judge Loomis in Congress to have Flag Day made a national holiday, and how the day has now come to be generally observed. Mr. Morris some time ago read a valuable paper on “The British Flag,” before the Connecticut Histori- cal Society, and he is an authority on flags in general. The patriotic poem for the occasion was beautifully composed and read by Mr. Thomas S. Colyer. The orator of the day was the Rev. Dr. Leonard W. Bacon of Norwich. His address was 'a remarkably fine production and was listened to with the closest attention. After the exercises of the morning, the Sons of the Revolution and the Historical society and guests marched to the town hall and the church, where dinner had been prepared, and the visi- tors were waited upon by the Lebanon farmers’ daughters in an excellent manner. The war office was a great attraction all day long. It is a small two-story building, painted a reddish brown.I Its rounded, shingled roof and its founda- tion. and chimney of broken stonesgive it an ancient appearance, although it has recently been put in the best of re- pair. The following new members were elected to the tasociety from Norwalk: Frederick St. John Lockwood, Fr eder- ick Homer (guintard and Charles Angus: tus Quintar E. J. Hill presided at the meeting of the Board of Managers. Lawn Fete ToV—nlght. For once, at all events, our Baptist brethren had a more liberal alloWance of water than they desired.‘ Every-V thing was in readiness for their'lawn fete last evening when “the rains de- scended and the floods..came” and everybody looked disconeiolate. But the fine entertainment devised by Rev. Mr. Robbins and his people will be all the more enjoyable because of the dis- appointment, and they hope to see all of their friends to-night at the post- poned fete. Tho GAZETTE hopes and believes that every expectation will be. fully realized. BRIDGEPORT’S MUDDLE. The Whole Thlng to be Settled In the Courts. 1 . Excitement over thepolice muddle in E - Bridgeport has quieted down some— what, and there seems to be no appar-V ent danger at present of any outbreak or any general disturbance. 'Late yes- terday afternoon City Attorney Wheel- er, who is coaching the old democratic .board of police commissioners, took steps to‘ bring the matter into the courts. against Chief Rylands which serve to tie his hands until the case is tried. One is a quo Warranto proceeding ' Questioning by what right he assumes to perform the duties of chief of police after being legally deposed. The oth- er is a temporary injunction restrain- ing him from exercising the functions of chief until the title to the office is le- gally settled under bond of $1,000. The papers in both cases are assigned by Judge Thayer and the case will be heard next Tuesday.» Captain Pinker- man is acting chief at present, under the direction of Mayor Marigold. The police detail was sent out as usual last evening. The five officers who refused to do duty Monday night are still off duty. Adjutant-General Embler was in Bridgeport last evening looking over the situation, and'returned to New Ha- _ ven about 9 o’clock. The city battalion of the National guard reported at the armory about 6 o’clock and remained there until 9 o’clock. when they were relieved from duty fintil further or- ders. The police had no trouble to maintain order in and about the station house, as precautions were taken early to keep the crowd away from the front of headquarters. The matter will prob ably remain quiet now, pending the trial next VTuVesday. Rescued .From Drowning. Yesterday afternoon Messrs. J amcs H. Hoyt and George Saunders left Nor- walk on the 3 o’clock car for South Nor- walk where they took a sailboat and started out for a sailing and fishing trip combined. Shortly before the first storm came up they weighed anchor and reached Keyser’s Island where they took refuge in a boat house until the storm was over. Then they started out again,but had not been fishing long before they saw a second storm coming up from the south. Setting sail, they headed for Dorlon’s Point, where they arrived in time to escape a severe wet- ting. After supper they heard shouts for help At first they thought that the sounds proceeded from a party engaged in Skylarking. Subsequently, however, Mr. Hoyt decided that somebody had been shipwrecked, and with Mr. Saun— ders, he got into his boat and proceed- ed toward the shouters. There were three of them, all South Norwalk men, and they were found clinging to their capsized and partly submerged catbOat, having floated in this way for an hour and a half or longer, frqm Peach Island to Burritt’s. They were completely ex- hausted and were hauled into the boat of their rescuers with great difficulty. One of them, a 200-pounder, was so loaded with beer that he was almost helpless, and when Comrade Hoyt was getting him into the boat, he gave the fat man’s trousers a tremendous strain and they parted. At first the rescued people wanted to control matters, and one of them insisted that the capsized boat be towed ashore, inasmuch as his coat was “in it;” but Mi; Hoyt quick- ly and emphatically notified them to keep still or he would pitch them over- board ; that they might thank their stars for their lives and let the clothing Finally the whole party landed sa1 ely at the oyster dock, near the steamboat dock, and our Norwalk friends are happy to-day in the con— sciousness of having saved a few hund- red pounds of human life, more orless valuable. - -» ”—41 o»- John Hearty's Wonderful Dog. A DAILY GAZETTE scribe was a per- sonal witness to a remarkable bit of canine wisdom on the part of faithful John Hearty’s dog. John had just come out of the small iron gate in front of the Mrs. W.

No sooner had Bull discovered that he was thus separated from, his master than he stood up on his hind feet, and b1 acing his left fore paw on the stone post beside the 1r on gate, with his nose he lifted up the iron latch from its catch and with his right fore paw curved around the first iron slat, pulled the gate open and darted out and down the street after his master. know a great deal more than some men, or question the venerable spin- ster’ 3 philosophy when she said the. more she saw of and knew about men, the more she loved her dog.

John Conkling’s house on Third ave. nue, East Norivalknvas struck by light- ning during the storm yesterday after— noon. The northeast corncr of the house was considerably damaged, the walls in the room at that part of the house being also broken, the piazza ncxt received the attention of the fluid, the posts being shattered. It then went to the south side of the house and rip— ped off some of the siding. A daughter of Mr. Conkling had her hair singed and neck burned by the fluid, but strangely enough received no further injury. not even being rendered uncon- sciou's. This city was yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock visited by perhaps the hard- est thunder shower it ever knew. The rain came down in torrents accompa- nied by hail and was lashed into a fury by a strong wind which snapped off large limbs from trees as if they were but twigs. A limb from a tree near the Monroe street crossing was thrown on to the telegraph wires and carried along the wires until progress was stopped by the pole. A tree on Mon- roe street was snappcd squarely off and large limbs of trees on the same street were broken, as was also a good sized tree in A. Swords’ yard. The light ning cracked and snapped on the tele- phone and electric light wires as loudly as cannon crackers and the fire alarm bell was rung during the hardest of the storm and the telephone bells kept up an almost constant ringing. One light- ning bolt struck the twenty foot flag staff on Solman’s stables on Railroad square and scattered it into small bits hundreds of feet away. Lightning a1- so played its pranks at the Corset fac- tory but did no special damage, thor- oughly frightening some of the employ- ees, however. Capt. Wilson of the City of Albany said this morning that the squall struck his boat as he was at the cross channel and says that for vio- lence he never saw it exceeded. The storm lasted for three quarters of an hour, and it is surprising that so little damage was done. There was a l1vle y time among the yachts anchor ed south of the bridge, the wind tossing them about as if but chips and landing them high and dry on the shore, but doing them no injury. —: <0.- EAST NORWALK.
