Man in hridg‘eport.‘

Fell Three Stories at the Tremont Hotel.
A man who registered as Fred Bulk-
ley of Danbury fell from a third story
window at the Tremont Hotel, Bridge-
port, last night, and escaped death only
by having his fall broken by the roof of
a storm door, 20 feet below the window
from which he fell. Below the door
was a sheet of ' solid concrete, onto
which he rolled after striking the door.‘
He Was picked up unconscious and
carried to-the Emergency Hospital. His
injuries were examined by Dr. Hair,
who found a contusion on the’forehead
and a bad abrasion on the left side of
the face. Bulkley’s tongue was squeezed
between his teeth,
slightly from his mouth. He com-
plained of pains all over his body after
being restored to partial consciousness
and Dr. Hair fears that the man was in-
jured internally. '
Bulkley, with eight companions, went
to Bridgeport to appear as witnesses in
a case being tried in the Common Pleas
Court. ' Last night Bulkley drank free-
ly, and while under the influence of li-
quor sat on the sill of a third story win-
dow overlooking the alley north of the
hotel. One of his companions sat near
Him, and was horrified to see Bulkley
lurch over and drop from the window.
He ran out of the hotel, eXpecting to
find Bulkley with a broken skull.
After Bulkley was treated for his in-'
juries he was taken back to his room
and put to bed. He was in a semi-con-
scious condition at midnight.
This morning Bulkley’s condition
had become much worse, and Landlord
Downing called Dr. Day to attend him.
The hemorrhage from his mouth had
increased. Dr. Day ordered Bulkley
removed to the General Hospital.
William Lyman of Grassy Plains,
. near Danbury, was one of the party of
which Bulkley was one, and he, too,
got into trbuble while drunk. Lyman
was walking along Middle street when
he met May Ives, better known as ‘I‘Big
Casino,” whom he attempted to hug.
The woman is of powerful physique,
and not being in a mood to be hugged
by a drunken man, struck Lyman a
blow which sent him reeling into the
gutter. In falling, Lyman’s head
struck the edge of the curbstone and
he sustaineda scalp wound an inch and a
half in length. He was taken to the
Emergency Hospital, where the wound
was closed. Lyman was drunk and
abusive, and was turned over to the po-
lice. At Police Headquarters he gave
the name of Charles Murphy of .Brook-
lyn, and denied that he knew where
Grassy Plains is. _
The other members of the party re-
mained sober, and seem to have a fair
chance of getting back to Danbury

THE “LEW ’96. '
AccOmplished in Scholarship
and Personal Graces.
Graduation Exercises at Miss Baird’s.
Last night was a momentous occasion
most enjoyable one to invited guests, at
Miss Baird’s Institute. A class of four
young misseS, accomplished in scholar-
ship and personal graces, Was to grad-
uate and had thoughtfully prepared ‘
their several essays. .
At half past seven the spacious Assem-
bly Room of the Institute was crowded
to overflowing with patrons; relatives
and friends of this deservedly popular
school and its many scholars, who have
been under Miss Baird’s personal care
and thorough instruction.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with wreathes,-flowers,palms and pot-
ted plants, while the many bright in-
candescent lights covered with deli-
cately tinted tissue paper, threw a flood
of illumined brilliancy over all.
The following carefully prepared
program was produced which was en-
thusiastically endorsed by all present to
be an exceptionally superior collection
of literary and musical selections. It
was as follows:
' . PART FIRST. ,
Instrument il—Fifth Rhapsody in E,
Prof. Alex. S. Gibson.
Invocation,
Rev. D. M. Seward, D. D.

Benediction,
Rev. D. M. Seward, D. D.
The graduates were the Misses Elma
Butler Terry, Bessie Richards Simpson,
Sara Maude Downham, and Edna
Haskell Stetsdn. These read their
original essays in a a very pleasing and
capable manner. They were all of
superior merit and showed fine powers
of mind, fresh originality and culture
and careful study and preparation, alike
creditable to the scholars and their
teachers. '
Special mention should be made of
the very fine elocutionary recital, given
by Miss Bertha A. Hardy, one of the
many teachers at the school.
' Miss'Hardy rendered her selection
with such charming‘elocutionary abil-
ity, that she held her hearers spell-
bound in breathless interest. Too
much can not be said in appreciation
of her natural and captivating manner
of reciting. ‘
All of the musical selections were so
quuisitely fine that any distinction
whatever would not be justified. When
the Rev. C. M. Selleck presented the
diplomas in his usual felicitious way,
every one present felt that the grad-
uates richly deserved their well-earned
honors. ‘
After the older guests had retired,
the younger couples engaged in danc-
ing, to the rythmical strains of3Weiden-
hammer’s orchestra.
During the evening, refreshments
were served in the dining rooms, and
pending the intervals of dancing the
guests wended their, way thither, with
the most cheerful alacrity.
- When the time for leaving arrived,"-
all said “good night’lto. the charming.
hostess, and thanked her for such an ex-
tremely delightful and every way suc-
cessful and enjoyable evening.
The one universal desire seemed to
be, that all might live and be able to be
present, at the next graduation exer-
cises of the class. of ’97, of Miss Baird's
Institute. _
The opening rhapsody on the piano
by Prof. Gibson, the invocation by the
venerable Rev. Dr. Seward, and the T
concluding vocal treat given by Mrs.
Nswkirk, were in most excellent good
~ taste and received the heart-felt appre-
ciation of the large, intelligent and bril-
liantaudience.

TIE ON THE TRACK.
An Attempt Made to Wreck a Consolidated
Train Near New Haven.
An attempt was made to wreck the
Consolidated train due in New Haven
at 11:17 o’clock last night. The scene
of the endeavor was at Cedar Hill.
Atie was placed in the frog near a
switch; the lock of the switch had been
broken and thrown away. The ob-
struction was placed in such a manner
as to run the train directly into the
switch. The tie. was discovered by the
engineer in time to prevent a serious
accident, although the passengers were
well shaken up. The train was delayed
about 25 minutes.
The police are looking for a gang of
four white men and two negroes who
were seen near the place where the at-
tempt was made.
