The Cyclone World Visitor.
Englishmen have boasted, and Amer-

icins have generally necepted the state-‘

ment with out reserve, that America
has a monopoly of cyclone disasters.

We shall have to revise our own
views and Englishmen must modify
their self-complacent boasting, for a
gale has j ustravaged English chimneys,
factory buildings, cottages, church
spires, art galleries, town halls and
deep-rooted forest trees.
structures killed and wounded human
beings as remorselessly as an American
cyclone.

With the English coast strewn
with wreck age, a hundred lives reported
lost and while a similar story of death
and wreckage is cabled from the con
tinent, the conclusion is irresistible
that the whole World is kin in the mat-
ter of danger from a roaring gale.

The great English storm has demon
strated that there is no such thing as
fleeing from the ravages of the wind.

A terrific storm followed Christmas
on the Pacific coast. _ '

The great lighthouse at Tillamook,
01:, was wrecked. The lighthouse is
on a rock 9132‘ feet above high-water
mark. The waveslashed the rock with
such fury and violence that pieces
weighing 167 pounds were rent from
its sides and hurled into the air a dis-
tance of 140 feet. __

The snow blizzard swept Long Is-
land and New Jersey last night.

The first Arctic wave of the winter
came down on St. Paul last evening.
The range over the Northwest was from
zero at St. Paul to 26° below in Man-

In Washington show began to fall at
3 p. m. andlast night the avenues were
filled with sleighing parties. The same
was true of Baltimpre, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Louisville, Cincinnati and
Chicago. In New York, the storm was
very severe. . '

The cause of the disturbance was a
southern cyclone of; West Indian ori-
gin. It gathered force as it whirled up
the coast, drawing frigid winds into it.
This tropical visitor, clinched with the
C')ld wave flying eastward yesterday
and fighting to a finish, has knocked it
out to the north and it is passing out to
Sea, while Sour miniature cyclone, is
trying to emulate the great blizzard
storm of March, 1888.

The Transgres sor’s Hard Way.

Samuel C. Seeley, the defaulting
bookkeeper of the Shoe and Leather
Bank, of New York, who stole a small
amount himself and helped a confeder~
ate to steal nearly $850,000, having

been caught and having pleaded guilty,

has been sentenced to eight years in
prison. The maximum penalty was ten
years, but eight will ibe quite enough
to convince Seelcy that the way of the
transgressor is hard and quite enough
to enforce the homely old adage, that
honesty is the best policy.

Full justice was not done in the case,
for Seeley was the lesser rogue in the
transaction, his confederate, Frederick
Baker, having been the tempter and
the chief beneficiary of the crime-
But Baker only escaped the penalty of
tie law by suicide ——to which he was
doubtless impelled by the certainty of
discovery, capture and conviction.
The stern sentence of the law was simp-
ly anticipated because Baker was a
coward as well as a criminal, and killed
himself rather than suffer in person the
humiliation of an arraignment in court
and association with common criminals
in prison.

It is not often that punishment fol-

' lows so swiftly upon the discovery of a

crime as In the case OfSeeley and
Baker, but it almost invariably follows
sooner or later. The saddest reflection
is that the fate ofSeeley and Baker
will not prevent others from following
in their footsteps and learning that the
way of transgressors is hard only as
they learned it, after exposure and dis-
grace. One would naturally think
their example would serve as a great
object lesson to keep all men in similar
circumstances honest, but the weak
and criminally inclined learn little by
the example of other men. They fool-
ishly imagine they can escape the hard
way which all human experience has
taught to be the lot of trausgressors.

‘l‘r. - lay, it isihe coupon clerk of the
New York National Bank of Commerce
who has confessed that he is an embez-
zler to the extent of about $30,000, and
is placed under arrest.

Hailed from New Canaan.

John and Noble Johnson of New
Canaan went to Bridgeport to spend
Christmas. They visited “Jim”Jacques’
dive on Water street and were fleeced
outcf $10by some of the‘gang who
frequent that place. They complained
to the police and a man named Edward

Brady bvus‘airrested upon suspicion of

having been" concerned in the game.
The Johnson brothers made such a
row that they were locked up for drunk-
enness. In the city court the men from
New Canaan were fined 87 without
costs for their little disturbance. Brady
was held for further investigation. ‘

this city on time last night.

o’clock,in the evening, and was as fine as
granulated sugar and as cold as a glass
of soda water at Hale’s in July. It,
however, “made” fast and at 9 o’clock
there was at least two inches of snow
on a level. Later this was succeeded
by a cutting storm of sleet and rain
which, continued until morning and up
to the time of our going to press.

The streets and sidewalks are in a
splashy condition, and travel for those
who ventured out was extremely disa-
greeable.

The Street Railway sweeper was out
about 8 o’clock and made frequent
trips over both the West avenue and
Winnipauk lines of the road, and but
little delay was experienced in the run—
ning of the cars on schedule time. On
the Tramway line some delay was
caused but altogether the service on
both lines was satisfactory.

Little or no damage was does to the
telephone, electric, or telegraph service
in this vicinity.

The city was somewhat dilatory in
cleaning crosswalks, etc., but finally
managed to get a few men at work and
are slowly getting the walks in a pass-
able condition.

The small boy with his new Christ-
mas sled is not as happy this morning
as last night, the rain having fallen like
a wet blanket on his expectations of a
coasting feast to-day. -

Recent Deaths.

James Simpson, senior member Of
the firm of Simpson, Crawford a: Simp.
son, the New York dry goods dealers,
died last evening.

James Chisholm, aged 70, who was
for years a prominent teacher of mathe-
matics, languages and chemistry died
in poverty at Waterbury, yesterday.

Dr. William Detwold, one of the old-
est surgeons in the United States died

Mrs. Elena I. Reynolds died in Gros-
venordale, Monday, aged 101 years.

Rev. Sylvester H. Clarke, a retired
Methodist clergyman, died at Plymouth
Mass , yesterday, aged 84.
born in Connecticut.

Serious and Fatal Accident.
Henry Silvers, eight years old, had
his right leg crushed by a freight train
on the Valley road at Middletown,
yesterday.

James Elton, aged 60, of .Berlin, was
thrown from a wagon yesterday, and
striking on his head it is thought re-
ceived fatal inJuries.

Claus Doescher, aged fortysix, a well
known resident of Danbury, was found
in an unconscious condition in his
yard, Tuesday morning. He. died a
few minutes later. There was a small
hole in his forehead and It is believed
that he fell and struck his head on a
small stone which penetrated the skull.

Archie Boyd.

The “Country S uire” as presented
by Archie Boyd an company, was one
of the best plays ever seen in this city.
The weather was not favorable to a
large attendance, but those who did go
were richly repaid. Like the. “Old
Homestead,” which has been pro-
nounced a model of American plays,
the situations and language, though
drawn from the conditions and verna-
cular of everyday life, are at times
elevated to poetry, while the plot has
an organic connection rarely found in
any other play of its kind. A revisit
to this city ought to insure a czowded
house.

. A colored woman who gave her name
as Mrs. Murray and her home, New
Haven, came to this city, this morning,
and preferred serious charges against
one Rev. J. A. Sumlar, who has been
ministering to a flock of his own color
'in this city for some time past. It is
understood that the “reverend colored
gentleman” denies the charges. Some
rich developments are promised if the

case comes before the courts.

ing, in his new comedy. “The Side

acter so suited his peculiar talents that
be embodied it in >"Grimes’ Cellar
Door,” 9. comedy in which he has so
successfully starred the past four sea-
sons. His impersonation of “Grimes,”
which is an elaboration of “Grimesey,

Me Boy” in ‘,‘A Bunch of Keys,” and

“Billy Grimes” in “Grimes’ Cellar

Door," is said to be without a peer on '

the American stage.

ists, and surrounded as they are by a

first-class company of ladies and gentle-

men. composing the Mora-Williams
company. Mora is not only a good
actress, but personally and in social
life for her amiable character and
many accomplishments, she is a favor-

BETTY GREEN’S CHARGES.

Miss Howland‘s Attendant Says There Is
No Truth In Them.

NEW Bnoronn, Mass, Dec. 27.—Ed-
Ward D. Mandell of this city refuses to be
interviewed concerning the charges pre-
ferred by Mrs. Hetty Green, the famous
woman millionaire. Concerning the story
that Sylvia Ann Howland, Hetty’s aunt,
from whom she inherited a considerable
portion of her property, came to her death
by poisoning. Mrs. Keziah R. Price, who
was Miss Howland’s constant companion
for some time previous to her death, and
who was present at the deathbed, says
there is no truth in it. Mrs. Pirce, Who is
now in the neighborhood of 80 years of
age, distinctly recalls the incidents con
nected with Sylvia Ann’s death.

For a. number of years before her death,
she says Miss Howland was in feeble
health and required constant care. She
had the best of attendance, and her physi-
cian, Dr. Gordon, ~ wes"one'of the best
known of his profession in‘thls vicinity.

During Miss Howland’s last days Dr.
Gordon injected morphine to a consider‘
able extent, and Betty at one time ex-

pressed the belief that death was hastened

by the excessive use of the drug.
This impression, however, was not
shared by the other: members of the house—

hold, and no orient the time expressed the,

least suspicion that Miss Howland was
poisoned. ' .

Dr. Gordon. Miss Howland’s physician,
has been dead for a, number of years.

GOBIPLAIN 0F PRIVATION.

Passengers Quarantined at Chester Object
to Their Food. . . -

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27,—}. special dis-
patch from Chester says that the 365 steer-
age passengers on the steamer Southwark,
recently detained off that city on account
of the (leash of a passenger from. smallpox,
are confined at the quarantine fiction
there in filth and privatlon. One of the do;
tamed-passengers says that apetition com-
plaining of the food and signed by 250 of
them was suppressed by Officials. ~

It is claimed that one sent out and
bought $27 worth of wholesome food for
the .mothers with small children. but that
the goods were confiscated because they
had not come through the manager. Apo-
liccman on duty at the station said he
would resign because he could not see lit-
tle children starve to death. It is alleged
that the entire camp is in the filthiest con-
dition possible, and that no soap, water
or towels have been provided since the
landing. The. people of Chester, fearing
disease, .will. lay. the matter before the
board of health and demand immediate
action. The cabin passengers wore al-
lowed to pass up the river.

of the college buildings compare in in-
,terest with the Medical school. It is
'the first building shown to strangers.

The building Where so many fruitful
investigations .have been carried and
so much hard work accomplished is a
matter of pride with every true grad-
uate of Vermont University.

To the credit of American scientists
it is said that the fruitful investigations
of true influence of the nerves upon
the proper nutrition of the body were
made by Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M.
D., L L. D., while active professior in
the Dartmouth Medical school and
lecturer in Vermont University Medi-
cal Department.

These researches have since been
carried on in Europe; but the result
by far the most valuable from all these
labors in Prof. Phelps’ discovery of the
prescription has come to be known as.
Pame’s celery compound. -

Now and then a discovery like this
one Is so greatly in advance of its day
that it startles the whole body of con-
servative physicians. No great rem-
edy ever caused so much talk and in.
quiry as Paine’s celery compound.
Scientific men in this country and in
Europe have analyzed and discussed it.
and the medical world has agreed in
recommending it as a truly remarkable
remedy for disorders originating in im-
p_ure blood and impoverished nerve
tissue. .

Paine’s celery Compound is pro-
nounced by physicians of all schools to
be the most decided step in the knowl-
edgejof diseases of the kidneys, liver
and stomach. - '-

Nervous women suffering from pain
and depression find relief after a few
days use of this wonderful remedy.

The thousands of testimonials from
men and women althrough the country
tell the story most convincingly of the
value of Paine’s celery compound as a
sure relief in the worst form of nervous
weakness.

tissue. It robs old age of its sleepless-
ness, depression and feebleness.
