Officer Bartram, As Usual,
Lands His Prisoner.
Was Forced to Use Hi'sClub Very Freely.
Complaint was made to Ofiicer Bar-
tram last evening that a man was Visit-
‘ing stores as well as stopping people on
the street and with a pitiful story, ask-
' ing alms. ,
Among others whom the fellow suc-
ceeded in getting money from was Rev.
Charles M. Selleck.
The officer located the man and start-
ed for the station-house with him, but
the prisoner begged so piteously to'be-
set free, and promising to leave town
immediately be was liberated, -at the
east end of Wall street.
The fellow started up Lewis street,
the ofiicer at the same timekeeping him
under survilance. He was seen to call
at William H. Lewis’ and from thence
proceed across the Green and visit the
C. O. C. Betts place. _
As he came out of Mr. Betts’ he was
apprehended by the ofiicer who started
down what is known as Hubbell’s lane
with his prisoner, that being the nearer
route of reaching the station-house.
The fellow then showed fight and the
officer was forced to use his club to
bring the man under subjection. He
struck the prisoner a tap on the head
that “grgi'inded” him.
At thisjuncture a man named William
Caddle'c‘ame along and the ofiicer en-
listed his assistance and placed his man
in the station-house. ~
He then reported to Captain Dann
who upon a superficial examination con-
cluded that the injuries inflected were
of a serious nature and had the prisoner
transferred to the hospital where the
wounds were dressed. .
The captain detailed Officer Valiant
for special service at the hospital in
caring for the prisoner, and instructed
Officer Hunt to relieve him this morn-
ing. On the arrival of Mr. Hunt he
was advised by the nurse that the wound
was not of a dangerous natural-and that
the man was in condition for trial, and
Hunt so informed the prosecuting at-
torney.
Later he appeared before Judge Hub-
bell with his head bandaged, and aside
from being a trifle dazed, otherwise ap-
peared to be all right. He gave his
name as John Flynn and occupation as
borler-maker, and his home Bridgeport.
The Judge found him guilty of va-
grancy for which be sentenced him to
fifteen days in jail, and imposed a fine
of $10 and costs for resistence to the
ofiicer. .
The afi‘air attracted quite a crowd, a
number of whom were inclined to take
sides with the prisoner but the better
class of whom were of the opinion that
the officer had acted exactly right in
the discharge of his duty and the de-
cision of the Judge was in full keeping
with‘the latter sentiment.

of one per cent. per pound and in addi-
tion manufacturers are required to pay
a license of $400 a year, wholesale deal-
ers 8250 a year, and retail dealers $12.

pay in addition to an import duty an in-
ternal revenue tax of eight cents per
pound. Penalties for violation of the

HAD HEA_R_T_FAILURE.’
William B. McCready Expires
suddenly This Morning.
Died at His Home at Compo.
Mr. William R. McCready died very
suddenly this moyning at his Compo
home, of heart failure. He had been
under Dr. Gregory’scare for some time
past for feeble heart action and while
at breakfast complained to his wife that
he felt queer about the heart and would
after breakfast drive over and get some
remedy from the Doctor. He had been
in New York all day yesterday on busi-
ness and returned home very tired and
thought his peculiar feeling about the
chest this morning was caused by yes-
terday’s over exertion. Just before
finishing his breakfast, he said he would
takea swallow of whiskey and see if
that would not make him feel better
and. had barelyswallowed it before he
fell over in an apparent faint, when he
was removed to his couch and Dr.
Gregory summoned by telephone. The
Doctor drove over at once but before
he had reached his residence Mr. Mc-
Cready had expired.
He was in his seventieth year and
leaves a wife and three daughters to
mourn his sudden and startling demise.
He was a gentleman widely beloved and
respected and for near a half century,
has been a familiar and welcome per-
sonage in Norwalk. His home at
Compo Beach was one of the most
charming rural residences on Long
Island Sound.
His death’ will be widely and sincerely
lamented and his memory cherished
with fond recollections.
-
WALSH NOTIFIED.
His Friends Claim He Will be Able to Dis-
prove the Charges Against Him.
Sherifi' Hawley went to Danbury yes-
terday and served papers on Attorney
James E. Walsh citing him to appear
before the September term, and be
heard relative to the charges preferred
against him. The principal charge is
that when, in 1889, he was a member of
the Danbury common council, he
greed to use his influence in favor of
obtaining a contract for a certain party,
and was to receive $2,000 if he was suc-
cessful. Another charge is that he
failed to deliver money he had collected
for a client.
This case is another chapter in the
long standing feud between Attorneys
Walsh and Murphy, and while it prom-
ises to be prolific in sensational fea-
tures, Attorney Walsh’s friends claim
he will be able to thoroughly disprove
the charges.
A Happy Party.
The lawn party given by Miss Mildred
Farrell ather home in Winnipauk, yes-
terday afternoon and evening, was a
spendid afi'air. Herschoolmates of the
Center school and others were present
and all was sunshine and happiness.
The scene was indeed a happy one, and
the merry laughter attested to the de-
lights of the occasion. Refreshments
in abundance were served, and it was
reluctantlythat the guests bade their
charming hostess good night. The
scene to passers-by was inspiring, the
lawn being beautifully decorated, scin-
teliated with the bright faces and cos-
tumes of the young misses who had
gathered to do honor to their young
friend.
Kinsella Won.
There was a bicycle race last evening
between Kinsella and O’Brien for a
purse of 325. Both are amateur riders.
In the first heat the tire of Kinsella’s
bike collapsed. In the second heat
O’Brien lost his pedal. In the final or
third heat Kinsella was an easy winner,
and was awarded the stakes. The race
afforded lots of amusement.

The people have long since learned that
the most disagreeable medicines are not nec-
essarily the best. In fact, as a rule, they are
not. What is wanted is something mild and
sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea. Remedy. That' is really
pleasant to take when reduced with water
and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful remedy
in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhoea and .fully nine out
of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl'um
of Friendsville, Susquehanna Co., Pa., says:
l‘ Wehave used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, colic and diarrhoea and found
it to be a most effective remedy.” For sale
