She says she’ll take it again when the shop opens.” The times are pretty hard when men are out 'of work and money is so scarce with them that they cannot afford three cents a week for a news- paper. But that is the situation, in hundreds of cases—Hour. Our neighbor does not hit the chief cause, which forces him to admit “a considerable loss of circulation.” _ It is not so much the hard times that has run the Hour’s circulation down so Seriously. The true reason is, that no Weekly, however laboriously conduct- ed, can competewith the hustling Daily newspaper in any wide-awake commun- ity. People in these stirring modern times, want their newspaper served them daily. In the apt slang of the street, the Weekly newspaper “isn’t in it.” As well might our recent omnibus and Deadwood stage line, that tempor- arily-replaced the horse cars on West avenue, be expected to hold their own in opposition to the trolley. Years ago the Hour was a thrifty newspaper; to-, day it is nowhere, in its competitive race against three Norwalk 'Dailies, forced as it is, to send out its weekly budget of necessarily stale and re- vamped news. OO-—-———~—- Sensible. / The “Providence Journal” would. same footing before the law as mutiny at sea. It argues that the reasoning which justifies stern suppression - of mutiny applies equally in the other case since the nature of the offence is the same, in that disobedience to orders or abandonment of work endangers lives, imperils the ship or train, and in- tcrferes with transportation service whichis for the common good. The “Journal” suggests that railway men be engaged under a requirement to give a certain suflicient notice of inten- tion to leave the service. This is to be made binding by penalties like those now provided for mutiny at sea, and conspiracy to hamper the operation of the road being open to similar punish- ment. ' The John Brown Monument. The project to erect a granite shaft to the memory of John Brown at Harper’s Ferry on the site of the building which he and his sons converted into a fort deserves to be encouraged. It is emi. nentl y fitting that this movement should be headed by men like Frederick Doug- lass, Blanche K. Bruce and John R. Lynch. It is easy to understand the gratitude in which the colored race holds‘ the memory of the rugged old hero of Ossawotomie. The proposed monument," however, should not be reared solely by the colored people. The fame of John Brown ls part of the glory of—t—he mpubfic, and his sacrifices and ser .ices were rendered in the cause of freedom and‘humanity. The Harp- er’s Ferry monument should be the tri- bute of the people regardless of race party, section or creed. .9. Victory for the Vlgilant. The Vigilant splendidly redeemed herself in Belfast Lough yesterday,and the Brittannia took a turn at stern chas- 1ng. It was 'Vigilant 'weather, a stiff breeze with occasional squalls prevail- ing, and the American boat fairly revel- ed in her opportunity. led practically the whole of the way over the fifty mile course. Yesterday’s victory will dim the luster of the Bri- tannia’s recent successes and deepen the impression that the Vigilant’s pre- vious defeats were measurably the re- sult of chance. It is to be regretted .. that the British racer met with .an at- cident toward the close of. yestéfday’s contest ; but it is evident that‘she’ w’t‘s clearly outdistanced by For. American rival.

Roger McGinnis had a narrow escape from breaking his neck Tuesday after- noon. He had been down the harbor after a load of salt grass and was re- turning home on top of the load, well loaded himself. The horse and both loads zig-zagged through Camp street, untilfinally one of the, wheels of the wagon was run up on a bank, and the load ti in 11 set the to load int like to see railway strikes put on the. pp g, p P 0 the street. It was feared that poor Roger was killed and two men who saw theaccident rushed tothe scene and picked Roger up. He was" too drunk to say much, but complained of a pain in his hip. On investigation it was found that he had struck on a bottle of whiskey which he had in his pocket, the broken glass having caused a slight incision on his hip. Roger was placed back on the load of salt hay and taken home by John Devine. ——-——.—4.>-§————-—- The Old Johnny Rebs.

Mlcllael Fahan Claims to Have Been Chloroformed and Robbed. Does Not Know How Long I-Ie’Lay Unconscio‘us. One of the strangest stories outside of a dime novel was unearthed by a GA- znr'ra representative this morning. The midnight visit of the burglar and the convenient vial of chloroform fig- ures in the narrative, which is almost beyond belief, yet the victim of this bold robbery asserts that the story is true. On Saturday night last shertly before midnight, Michael Fahan closed his saloon at 24 Main street and ascended to his apartments upstairs over the store. Feeling hungry he thought he would partake of a lunch before retir- ing for the night, and was soon enjoy- ing a light repast. Desiring abottle of beer to assist in assimilating his mid.- night supper Mike descended to the saloon to'obtain it. He had hardly en- tered the door before a towel or cloth saturated with chloroform was thrown over his head and held there in a grip .of' iron until he fell unconscious on the floor. , ' How long he remained unconscious upon the floor. Mike does not know, but States that when he regained his senses he was lying on his back with his head As he had before going upstairs, and had placed the money in his pocket, his first thoughts were of that. Running his hand into his pantaloons pocket where he had placed his money, which Mike claims was between $75 and $100, he found it gone. When seen by the GAZETTE repre— that he had been chloroformed and robbed, but was very reticent about the matter, desiring it to be kept quiet. When asked if he had reported the mat- ter to the police he said that he had not and preferred to lose the money rather than have it become known». Who his midnight visitor was Mike does not know, as he claims that it was dark in the saloon at the time and that he lost consciousness almost instantly, also that the cloth or towel, over his head prevented. him from recognizing his assailant. Fahan’s desire to keep the matter from publicity and his evi- dent purpose not to say any more about the robbery than he can\ help leads to the belief that the story is very strange. Beef at Reasonable Rates. Beefjs selling lower all over the country now than it did before the strike. Although the falling oil‘ in the price isbut a fraction of a cent, still it is noticeable. This is brought about by natural causes, one of which is that they are beginning to receive at the Western stockyards grass-fed beef. People should be able to get beef from now till winter at the most rea- sonable rates as there will be plenty of it and the wholesalers prices are and will remain lewer than they have been for some time. The Alphas. A meeting of the AlphahWheel club was held Tuesday evening, at which meeting the following ofiicers were elected: Edward J. Thomas, president: Joseph Gregory, vice president; David Wheelman Raymond, secretary and treasurer. Owing" to the depression in business and the inability of some of the members to pay their dues regular- ly it was decided to give up the, club meeting rooms at present, on the score of economy and secure rooms again next "fall. The president will appoint the minor oflicers within a short time. ~40- . Pollce Court. Michael Cahill was arrested Tuesday night by officer Kenney and placed in the station heuse.

Abig bank of dark the hot orb sank slowly down tinting the upper edges of the mass with shin- ing gold, while an' indescribable cop- pery hue spread over the sky. But this was not the most striklng feutu re. As the sun went lower behind the som' bre mass the lurid color disappeared, and the brilliant edges paled, when all .at once as if through an opening in a mountain red rays shot up and for two or three minutes streamed out like a gigantic flaming torch. ’A Year’s Divorces. Clerk Shelton of the superior court has sent his annual report. of the divor- ces granted at Bridgeport during the past year to Dr. Lindslcy of the state board of health. There were 97 mar- riage bonds untied for the following causes: Infidelity, 15; desertion, 31; intemperance, 2i; intolerable cruelty, 24; intemperance and cruelty, 3;intem- perance and desertion,.2; bigamy, 1. The report shows that there was five divorces less granted during the year ending July 1, 1894, than the year pre- vious. It also appears that desertion seems to be the principal reason alleged by complainants. Steamer Glen Smashed. The steamer Glen. of the Starin Glen Island flotilla, was in collision last night off Peck slip, East River, with a freight car float under tow.

When Brought to Police Headquar— ters Both Were Too Drunk to Stand Trial. J 'ol'm Cloueherty and Michael Whalen Fahan’s saloon, . this morning, over a heated discussion as to which was “the better man”~ to work on the city streets. As if to emphasize his argument, it is alleged that, Clougherty dealt Whalen ‘a stinging blow in the face, and-then the ruction began, and was followed up. until the sidewalk was reached when Clougherty fell or was knocked down, Whalen falling on top of him. The latter was engaged in giving Clougherty a good pummelling as Ofiicer Kenney came up andgrabbing hold of him pul- led him off, but he was forced to tap his knuckles with a club before he would release his hold. Clougherty regained his feet and ney called upon Constable Lockwood to arrest him which he did, and both oflicers escorted their prisoners to the police headquarters followed by a crowd of men and boys. While' 1n the police headquarters the two men had a war of Words in which Whalen denied having struck Clough- erty, ' who replied with considerable venom in his voice, “Be gobs, Mike, can yc look at my face and tell me that defined lie ?” Shortly after, Cloughert‘y gave evi- deuce of needing private attention and .he was quickly hustled out of the room and down to the lockup by Constable Lockwo‘bd; followed some distance be- hind by Officer Kenney and Whalen. Both prisoners were bespattered with blood from head to foot, and had ugly looking contusions on their faces. The wounds, however, were not of a serious nature in either case. The sidewalk in front of Fahan’s gave evidence that no small amount cf blood had been spilled and several beer kegs at the entrance to the saloon were frescoed with “gore. ” The route of the prisoners to police headquarters could easily be traced by wake, and Officer Kenney’s hands, coat and shoes received a baptism of blood. The men were too much under-the influence of intoxicants to be tried this morning, and the hearing was adjourn- ed until 4 o’clock this afternoon. —.OO Tuesday’s Ball Games.

HAZLETON, Ifa., July 18.——Anothcr mine disaster occurred at Stockton. N0- ls the , 'most shocking which ever took place. In the Two hundred sticks of ‘ wdor exploded In the midst of a miners, and not enough of their giant , cans . bodies was left Intact to recognize them. Stockton colllery Is aboutone mile east of this city'and ls operated by Linderman & Skeer. The mine Is but part of a series 3 of openings which that company operates lots in which the miners llvc. 0n ac- =count of its. Isolation from the main breaker it has been customary to send- the dynamite and other explosives ln boxes to No. 8 and distribute them to the work- man at the bottom of the second shaft as they appear in the morning on their way tower-k. Charles 0' Donnell had charge of this department, and it was his duty to distribute to the company miners and starters the dynamite and caps. The first men to go down Into the shaft this morn- lng were the drivers, and these are the only ones to return alive from the open- lng. How many men or who they were who foIIOWed in the next boat Is not def- Inltely known, and for this reasonathe' exact number of men killed will not he known until a list of the living is taken. The drivers went mod the staples to harness their mules, and it was 'w‘hlle thus engaged that the explosion took place. Charles Shug'ért says he saw about a dozen men standing about O’Donnell receiving the powder a moment before the explosion tool. The drivefi were hurled about I i inunusly. Th’e men were paralyreli \\ Ill fright, and. fearing e‘n explosi m or 11.13 had taken place and a collapse of the entire mine Wall about to follow, they 'slmply waited for death. 'It was In this postlc'u they were found by some miners from No. 2, who hastened through the subterranean passachnys to No 8. As soon as lights were seen the demoralized drivers hatched to the bot- tom of the shaft. There a terrlbio sight met their gaze. Strewn over the twisted and torn tim- bers were fragments of human flesh and bones and limbs of the unfortunate min era. The men were too kick to attempt to remove the remains of the dead. , Rescuing parties were quickly formed, and, headed by Superintendent Roderick, a corps of miners descended Into the mine. The work of recovering the bodies was as once begun, but It was a diflfiult task. Fragments of human flesh were found some distance up the slope, clinging to the rails and ties and sticking to the roof, while everywhere were bones and limbs. Not enough has yet been found of any of the bodies to make a "common possible. It is believed that at least a dozen men were blown to pieces. When Foreman Shuurt demo 1! he I'I|I'.... . gave out what Information be can (I to distracted relatives of the unfortunate miners. The details of the disaster were . too sickening to be reported, and the wid- owa and orphans 111111 to be, “tilled with the single statement that all the men Were dead. Arrangements for bringing the re- ams to the surface were their made. 0:- ders for two boxes were given to the un- dertokers. . At the bottom of the slope a diflerent . scene was transplrinr. As each eat «2‘ human fleet! was (tburtd It was to n to the turnout, which ls~a with 0119 An Improvised table was erectcp here, and the work of sorting out the pieces of flesh was put In charge of several men.
