ing a boat as an ordinarymortal would,
he went down the mast, causing the

tO the water. He made two holes in
the water and was about to make the
third when Editor Bailey, of the Dan-
bury News, came to the rescue and
pulled him ashore. He lost his watch,
eight cents in money and a two-for-fiv‘e

a sail boat, but he has changed his
mind and. will purchase a life-saving

it though before the accident.

walk, appeared on the scene and de-
manded admittance, which the kind-
hearted keeper promptly acceeded to,
and when inside Connolly proceeded to
attach and remove the goods in the in-
terest of the Brewer. At this juncture
there was such an avalanche and excited
admixture of “rich Irish brogue and
sweet German accent,” that it not only
recalled Senator Ingalls’ simile Of-the
many who earn their bread by the
sweat of another’s-jaw, but it is said
even the poor Italian fruit dealers
stood aghast at the angry worded con-
test and even the little fishes in the

The lFi’jr‘e’Commlttee and the‘Flr‘e'
Engineers Consider the ‘
Pioneer Trouble. -
.1: 063-111"
The meeting to consider the diflicul
ties in Pioneer Hook and Ladder Com-
pany met at the Pioneer parlors last
night, as announced in yesterday’s
DAILY GAZETTE. There were present
Burgésses Burr, Buxton and O’Reilly,
the Fire Engineers and about a dozen
' members of the company. A sort of
star-chamber examination, of brief du-
ration, was first essayed to the end of
getting at certain facts the Committee
seemedto think would be better attain-
able'in this way, when an Open - call on
the members was made for them to Of-
fer any objections tO the existing ofii— z
cering of the company. Ex-Foreman
William J. Merritt protested against
Captain Martin, who it seems had an-
gered Merritt because of having order-
ed his name stricken from the roll Of
member‘s present at the last Hogan fire,
as he did not report for duty there and
came around to the house only to reg-
ister himself as present to save his fine,
after the fire was out and the company
had returned to the house. But Mer-
.ritt subsequently withdrew his Objec-
tions and Martin was retained as cap-
tain. After the'action On Captain Mar-
tin, objections to first lieutenant Peach
were called for, when W. J. Merritt
protested against his retention, also,
on account of personal dislike. Chief
Prowitt thought for reasons, best known
to himself, that it would promote har-
mony in the company for Peach to re-
sign his position, which he willingly
did, and later resigned from the com-
pany as well. After finishing with the
Officers the committee dropped some
fifteen members from the roll.
There is a serious question as to whe-
ther, under theBorOugh laws,'a 00m-
mittec can discharge a member of the
Fire Department, and a .more serious
question as to whether a meeting and,
election of Officers could be ordered by
the same Committee, in direct violation
of the by-laws of the Company. The
Court Of 'Burgesses can remove or
discharge any member Of the force ;
and the Chief Engineer may. with the
approval of the Warden, discharge any
member not an Officer, but how this
Committee can take it into their own
hands to discharge members and order
meetings is not clearly understood by
the public.

Nearly 'an' Accident.
There was a narrow escape from a
railroad smashup in South Norwalk last
night. The locomotive Of the 8.15
freight train cut loose from a train of
about twenty cars at the Whistleville
bridge and steamed up to the water
tank to take water. The supply pipe
had not been thrown around, when the
engineer’s attention was attracted to
the fact that the train was coming on,
to him with great velocity. He imme-
diately started up his locomotive, but
the train struck it at the Washington
street crossing and sent it flying to the
end of the bridge. If the engineer had
not started up his locomotive there
would have ‘jbeen a: grand smashup ; as
it was,‘little or no damage was done.
St. Paul-’58. S. Picnic. _
There were over two hundred in the

There were swings, teeters, and ham-

wiches, cakes, pies and goodies, an end-

yond the requirements, that much deli-
cate food was left to give away to, the
parish and other poor. In the evening
, large‘numbers of Chinese lanterns and

The top of the Wilton spire is dis-

This early Canooe Hill Institution
was founded and conducted by Esquire
Eliphalet St. John of the Yale College
class Of 1791. Aided by his capable and
energetic wife, he built up a seminary
that was popular with New York pa-
trons, and which drew largely from
that city, when its population dwelt,
principally, within a half .mile of the
Battery. The “Squire’s” pupils appear
tohave been well. taken. care , of.
young men who were there educated,
and so was Lewis Richards, M.D. of
respected memory, The St. John boys
amused themselves around. and beyond
the hill,-and on Sundays were driven
into town to service. The schools’ few
surviving venerable graduates have rea-
son still to gratefully remember their
long departed principal, whose "remains
lie in the quiet enclosure about a half
mile north of his old premises, and who
did‘ for his town and townsmen, what
indeed, in later times has nnquestion:

Frank 1. Frayn, Jr.
Although scarcely out of his teens,
the subject of this short sketch has
been from Infancy to July 27th, 1891,
the supposed son of Frank I. and Clara
Butler Frayne, the world-renowned
rifle shots. But, as has already been
extensively announced through the
prominent papers of the United States,
the lad was taken from aconvent, when
but two years Old,|whose inmates had
been scattered far and wide during the
terrible Chicago fire, adopted and
placed upon the stage by Frayne,. Sr.,
and after his death the history of the
bOy’s parentage was found among his
private papers.
The career of this young “star” has
been an interesting and eventful one.
From' his first appearance in child
Speaking parts, when only two years of
age, he' as rapidly advanced through
the various intricate lines of the dram-
, atic profession, untilnow, after filling
‘ ‘ many pOSItions requirin
great histri-
Onic talent and ability, e has nearly
reached the top of the ladder in his
chosen profession, and bids fair to take
a foremost rank among the best actors
of the day.
‘ Manager Adams will present Mr.
Frayne to the people of N orwalk on
Thursday evening, August 20th, in the
celebrated play, “The Boy Ranger,” at
which time Mr. Frayne will ride the
handsome Indianpony “Sitting Bull,”
from whose back the famous Old chief
Sitting Bull was shot dead while trying
to make his escape.

pected to reach home at 12 o’clock mid-

The Preacher’s Wife Played the

Post Office Inspector Browne has re-
ferred to District Attorney Baker acase
of wrongfully using the United States
Emails for purchasing lottery tickets.
The culprit is the wife Of a prominent
minister of nineteen years’ standing in
Nebraska. .
She guilelessl informed the inspect-
or that she had een buying tickets for

CHARGED WITH FRAUD.
And a Bull: Instituted Which Involves
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 19.——An important}
suit, involving more than $2,000,000, has
been begun in the circuit court of the
United States for the western district of
Wisconsin by the American Loan and
Trust company against the Gogebic De-
velopment company. In 1887 the defend-
ant executed to the plaintiff a. trust deed
on a large amount of valuable mining
property owned by it in Ashland county,
to secure the payment of 2,000 of its bonds
of $1,000 each, amounting in all to $2,000,-
000
This mortgage provided for the pay-
ment of 6 per cent. interest semiannually,
the principal to be paid in 1907, and 111'
case of default for six months in the pay-
ment of any installment, and on demand
of the owners of the bonds to the amount
of at least $160,000, the mortgagee. should
declare the whole amount of principal and
interest due and payable and proceed to j
foreclosure. ,. ‘ ‘
The complainant alleges that the defend-
ant sold the whole $2,000,000 of bonds at
part, and that there has been such default 5
and demand by bondholders. '
admits the execution of . the bond and f’
mortgage and that 500 of the bonds,
amounting to $500,000, were sold and ne 9-
tiated by defendant, but _ ,
rest of the bonds were sold. The latter, it
alleges, were wrongfully and fraudulently
parceled out by the former officers of the
company without any value being paid
therefor, and that the present owners of
them had full knowledge of such fraud.
EDITOR NEW MARRIED.
The Consul General's Son Wedded to
Actress Catherine McLean.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The marriage of
editor Harry S. New, of the Indianapolis
Journal, to Miss Catherine McLean, the
actress, took place Tuesday evening at the
residence of Mr. Frank McKee, West One
Hundred and Eighteenth street. They
will sail for Europe on the City of Paris,
Wednesday, and will return west Oct. 1.
'In Detroit, about a. year ago, Mr. New
met Miss McLean, who was a singer in the
burlesque, “Faust Up to Date.” They met
at a friend’s, house, and it was a case of
love at first sight, Mr. New says. There
was no engagement announced, but their
friends will not be surprised to hear of
their marriage.
Mr. New is prominent in Indianapolis
society and has been in charge of the In-
dianapolis Journal since his father’s air
intment to the consul generalship as
ondon. Mrs. New is a very handsome
young woman of about 22, tall and black
eyed. ,She received a good education at a
Canadian convent. She went on the stag
says Mr. New, not from inclination, bu'_
from necessity. He is very indignant at
the report that he fell in love with her
while she was on the stage.
“I don’t think anybody so good or goo
looking as she is. If she is satisfied wit
the arrangement I am.” The expression
on Mr. NeW’s face fully corroborated his
words, and Mrs. New, who was sitting by,
smile as if she was not wholly dissatis-
fied w th her part.
