Don’t Touch Them.
People must look out for wires swing-
ing in the streets. The dangling wire
seems to possess no element of danger
but it may be the cause of, instant
death if any one touches it. This ap-
plies to wires no matter where they are,
for at some place they may be in con-
nection with the trolley current. A
wire charged with 'electric current
gives no evidence of its danger, so the
only way to .do isto leave them alone.
During the storms of the coming Win-
ter there will be many wires thrown
downand our citizens should be con
tinual-ly on thg outlook to avoid them.
Especially: should this precaution be
taken-during the night time. .

Fessenden for Speaker.
Earnest Republicans all over Fair-
field county, are quite astonished at
what they deem the unfair conduct of
the Hartford Courant in its indirect
labors against the Hon. Samuel Fes-
senden’s candidacy for the Speaker-
ship. That the Courant is zealously
laboring in unison with‘ex-Governor
Bulkeley' for the selection of Judge
Elmer, is its right and privilege, and-
no one may say it nay. But when Fes-
senden 'made himself a target for se.
vere criticism and even abuse, because
he would not accept the nomination,
clearly within his grasp, to the United
States Senate, and thus made the re-
turn of the Courant’s editor for a third
term a possibility, Republicans down
this way seem to think a decent sense
of appreciation for such an important
favor bestowed,should inspire the Cour-
ant with gratitude enough to show Fes-
senden" the same fair treatment it has
usually been accustomed to accord to
those‘ 'i‘t"'did not favor. The Courant’s
opposition to Fessenden is interpreted
hereiibouts as grounded upon the fact
that for years he has been one ofvthe
- many able attorney’s employed by
the Consolidated Railroad. This cer-
tainly is a circumstance highlycredit-
able alike to both Fessende‘n’s ability
and his fidelity. The Bridgeport Stan-
dard, in the following editorial, though
not “speaking right out in meeting,”
as the GAZETTE in its strict indepen-
dence of party trammelsi can bluntly
do, thus very effectually answers this
railroad service criticism :
“The argument urged in some quar-
ters against the'candidacy of the Hon.
Samuel Fessenden for speaker, that he
now has, or has had, associations with
the railroad interests,- and that such
associations would influence him 9.8
speaker are unworthy consideration.
In the first place it is no reflection up-
on the character or qualifications of the
other honorable gentlemen who are
prominently named for the position to
say that in the combnation of public
service, party experience and natural
endowment, he is the superior of them
all, and that his election to the place
would put at the helm of the House a
man pre-eminently able to guide its
affairs with ability and discrimination,
to accord justice without partiality and
to decide all ’questions with prompt
good judgment and upOn their merits.
To turn the duties of his important
position one hair’s breadth from the
line of right in favor of any interest,
corporate or individual, seeking favor
from the legislature, would be suicidal
and norman in his senses, much less so
level-headed a man as the Hon. Samuel
Fessenderi'Would put himself voluntar~
ily in such a position before the people.
The insinuation is preposterous and an
insult to the members of the legislature
who must be his tools in any such work.
Mr. éFessenden has an honorable ‘am-
bition and that commendable and
proper feeling is perfectly in conso-
nance with the highest patriotism and
the strictest political probity. More-
over, it is dependent upon popular
opinion, formed by observation and
experienc’e of the man in his public
capacity andiprivate life for adequate
recognition and success, and under
such circumstances in the full glare of
critcial observation and inspection, no
man could hope for the “well done
good and faithful servant,” which he
would strive to obtain unless he had
honbstly merited the aWard by honor-
able service. Therefore, we say, that
to insinuate that he is incapacitated
because he has been retained at times,
as a lawyer, by the railroad interest, is
unworthy consideration. There are
precious few lawyers in the state, who
have made any mark at all, who }have
not been the attorneys of some corpor-
ation, at some time, and' that fact
should be, with honest men who , are
not seeking to improperly influence
their fellow citizens, an evidence of
ability rather than a suspicion of shame.
If your ablest men are to be incapaci-
tated for public service because their
ability has been recognized outside the.
townsin which they were born, then
we shall be narrowed needlessly in the
times when we'want the best services
of those whom we know are able, and
reputable. Mr. Fessenden represents
the Republicanism of the Nation, that
l
of Benjamin Harrison, and his patriot-
ism is off of the same piece: Take him
altogether and he is a hard man to
match and he will not be beaten 'by
dubious insinuations because of the
clients who have acknowledged his
worth. and abilities.”

Went into the Scrimmage.
A Bridgeport dispatch to the New
York Sun of this morning, will prove
of local interest. It reads: “Probably
the first appearance of a woman on the
football field in Connecticut to take
actual part in a scrimmage was at Sea-
side Park, Bridgeport, on Saturday
afternoon. It was a game between the
eleven of the Triangular Athletic Club
of thiscity and Merrill’s Business Col-
lege of Stamford. The woman was Mrs,
Miller of Stamford. Just as the game
started a cab drove on the ground and
a woman alighted. She pushed her
way through the crowd of Spectators
and on to the field where the teams
were playing. Mrs. Miller was in the
way of a wedge, but that did not
frighten her. -Her two sons were in
the Stamford eleven, and she was after
them. She went into the thickest of
the scrimmage, and when she emerged
she had the two players with her, lead-
ing them along by the ears.
The crowd cheered the mother, and
she led the boys from the field amid
cries of “Stick to your mother lomi ”
and “Back among the old folks once
again ! ” The Miller boys had run away
to win glory on the gridiron against
the wishes of their parents.”
O.
Monkey and Parrot Time.
The little colony of Jockos at the
Boston store, managed to escape from
their cage and had a Sunday monkey
and parrot time of it, prancing and
climbing and cavortin about N or-
walk’s great Dry Goods Emporium,
throughout the sacred hours yesterday.
One of their favorite amusements dur-
ing the day, was lifting the curtains a
a little aside and playing bopeep with
the children and'people crowding in
front of the windows. More than one
good little Sunday school saint was not
only late in attendance, but badly bro-
ken up in reciting the day’s lesson.
Nevertheless, it was a great day for the
monkeys, for the street urchins and a
big Sunday adv. for the Boston store.

Struck by a Meteor.
The three-masted' schooner P. T.
Barnum, of Bridgeport, was struck by
a meteor off the Jersey coast on Satur-
day last. The meteor shattered itself
by striking against the topmast rigging
and throwing flames of fire in every
direction. The crew were thrown upon
the deck and stunned by the shock.
Harry Nielson, one of the seamen, was
aloft in the rigging furling the sails
when the ball of fire struck the vessel.
The rigging was set on fire and Nielsen
burned about the knees and legs be-
fore hc could descend. The Barnum
was not damaged other than to have
the mast badly burned and she contin-
ued on her voyage, arriving in Bridge-
port Sunday night.

Will 9:0 to the State.
An inventory of the estate of the late
Thomas Murray, of Bridgeport, was
filed in the probate court, Saturday.
The estate is valued at $40,000, and as
no heirs to it can be found, although a
dilligent search has been made, the
property will therefore go to the state.
'r. Murray was a well-known mason
and builder, and was killed while at
work on a chimney in Yonkers a short
time ago. He left no will.
Missing from School.
Willie Coup, aged 11, ran away from
Miss Davm’ school in Darien, Friday.
On Saturday he was seen in Five Mile
River where he told several boys that
he lived in Norwalk. Word was sent

Sunday, but he failed to locate Willie.
When he left school he wore a light
plaid suit, knee pants and a round cap.
His home is in Massachusetts.

Bridgeport, have signed articles to

the end of the tenth round, the fight

The Sale mine Railway Station it
Bethel Blown Open and Con-
tents-Stolen.
Over $200 in Money Taken
The railroad station at Bethel‘was
burglarized Sunday night, the safe
blown open and the contents stolen.
Last evening when the agent left. for
home he placed the receipts in the safe
and locked the safe securely. This
morning, when he opened the depot he
found that the place had been Visited
and the safe blown open. .
He immediatelygave the alarm and
then ,proceeded to investigate the loss,
and discovered that there were about
$100 in money belonging to the railroad
cOmpany, some $25 belonging to the
telegroph company and a number of
railroad tickets.
NO clue to the burglars has yet been
gained but they are believed to belong
to the gang that broke into the post
office at Litchfield on Saturday and
blowed open the" safe, securing $50 in
stamps and $10 in money, and who
broke into the depot at Branford, Fri-
day night and after bursting open the
safe, secured $75 in money and a num.
ber of tickets. The burglars .then en-
tered the post Office, where they blew
open the safe with dynamite, but ob-
tained only $10 and some stamps, as
Postmaster Bradley takes most of the
post office money home with him at
night.
The depot of the New London North-
ern Railroad at Yantic was also entered
by burglars Friday night. A Small
surrli of money and a gold watch were
sto en.

and body. The couple were, however,
able to walk to South Norwalk where
they boarded a trolley car for home.
The party who collided with Mr. Hall
did not stop to see What damage he had
caused but drove off before being re-
cognized.
The turnout belonged to Liveryman
Dann, who brought it home this lmorn-
ing, the horse having been kept in Mr.
Wade’s stable over night. ~

the Mystery as 'D‘eep as Ever-iiiis Molt]:-
er’s Vision of 1135 Fate. “ ,
has gone bynmi stifl the mystery attend:
Row, the Cor-nail student, has not been?
unraveled. Rumors are still being circu-
lated as to his fate. but as far as can be
ascertained they are unfounded. The lot-
ast story has it that young Rew’s body
was found near Brockton by a farmer,
who was removing a pile of rubbish from
his yard. In regard to this Sheriff Seaman
raid: ”That is not true. His body has not
been found as yet. ' There is one little
matter, though, of which we are certain,
and that is that the young man who called
at CrasperS’ at South Danby was not Fred-
erick Raw. It was one George T. Ladd,
a student, who was out hunting for squir-
rels, and he stopped there on his way back
to Ithaca to buy a glass of milk. This
was a week before the disappearance of
Row. It seems that the Craspors family
made a mistake in reporting to the au-
thorities the day on which Mr. Ladd stop.
ped at their house. Mr. Ladd cqmes for-
ward and shows conclusively that he hlm~
self was the person in question.” ’
Another story of interest has been ob-
tained from those conducting the investi-
gation which may explain the reason why
Mr. and Mrs. How are so positive in their
belief that their son is dead. It is as fol—’
lows: About 5 O’clock on the afternoon on
which youngRew started on the eventful
walk his mother at Buffalo, while sitting
in her home sewing, was seized with a
peculiar shock, as though something ter-
rible had occurred. In the evenlngyvhile
attending a social gathering she experi-
enced the same sensation and exclaimed
that she was beholding the face of her son
Fred in a pool of water. Still again a
short time afterward the some vision came
to her. It is given on the same authority
that in two other instances Mrs. Row had
similar presentlments, which proved to be
true in the case of relatives of the family.
Mr. and Mrs. RcW, because of their former
and experiences, it is said, believe im-
plicltiy in the premonition which came to
Mrs. How on the afternoon‘of Fred’s dis-
appearance.
'l‘lic case is as much a mystery now as
ever and sec-ms as far from solution as
when the iiixcvipatinn first began.
