Florence Prince and Belle Lyle Start on the Down- ward Path. Run Away from Home with Two Dystermen. The Bridgeport Farmer of last even- ing prints the following story of two girls well known in this city: I The authorities have rescued another young girl from a life of shame, and she has been taken in charge by the Lad'ies’ Charitable association of this city. Her name is Florence Prince, and her home is in ive Mile River, where ,until three weeks ago she resided with her grandmother. Her father is an in- valid and is living with relatives in Nor- walk. Her mother died some years ago, and since that time Florence has been living with her ., grandmother, Mrs. Mary Richards. About three weeks ago she and a companion, whose name she says is Belle Lyle, made up their minds to come to this city and see a little of the world. They made many friends among the sporty element and it was not long before they were right in the swim. They put up at one of the local hotels much frequented by persons of shady reputations. The Prince girl is only£17 and the, better locking of the two. While walking down Bank street the other night Supt. Birmingham saw her talking to some men. From her de- meanor he made up his mind she was a stranger, probably a runaway girl, and instructed the‘ofiicers to keep a sharp lookout for her, and if. they saw her loitering about the streets to bring her in. Special Keenan last night brought her to the police station where she said she was Lola Grey of Norwalk. Later she admitted her true identity... The officer learned that the two girls came here with two oystermen from Norwalk several weeks ago and have been leading a fast life since. One of the managers of the Charitable Asso- ciation offered to look after the girl if she was turned over to their custody. . The girl herself was not inclined to re- gard her adoption with approval, al- though she was apparently glad to es- cape going to the workhouse. She is uncommonly pretty and would easily pass for 18. Her companion, Belle Lyle, is still at large. . This is evidently the same girl an ac- count of whose misdoings appeared in these columns yesterday. An Honest Deacon. Deacon Matthew W. Starr. purchase some hay on Thursday, of George Shellhoss of Main street, who succeed- ed Stephen Holmes in the feed business. Yesterday, the good Deacon returned with an open-faced silver watch, saying that he had found it embedded in the centre of oneof his bales of hay and he desired it to be returned to its rightful owner. The Deacon’s theory was that some honest farmer, hired man, or boy, in baling the hay, had let the, watch slip from his pocket HUCJILiSCIOllsl y into the bale, and he desired Mr. Shellhosa to resort to all possible means to find ‘ the owner of the time piece. The honest Deacon was right here confronted with the discouraging fact that his hay had come from the wild and wooly west, where Far out upon the prairie, . So many children dwell Who never saw an oyster Or e’n an oyster shell. It was finally concluded that the best ' possible way to find the owner of the watch was to give it to the GAZETTE re: porter and thus let the news of the Deacon’s 'find sweep o’er the western prairies like a presidential boom. 0 Miss Nellie Hogan Entertains. Miss Nellie Hogan entertained a number of her friends at her home on ' Main street last evening. Guests were present from Danbury, Bridgeport, and South Norwalk. There was vocal and instrumental «music, a' pleasing feature of which was the piano. playing of the hostess. Refreshments. were served and it was an evening happily spent.

The Missing Deck Hand of'the Isabel Was Drowned. He Evidentlp Fell Overboard. ' Much of the mystery attending the death of the missing colored deck hand, “Jim,” ’ofthe steamer Isabel, has at last been solved. His body was found last evening at the steamboat dock in South Norwalk within fifty feet from where the Isabel lay on the night when he was-first missed. The body was discovered floating ‘on the water by George Hoyt and David Brennan. - , Medical Examiner Burke was sum- from the water and removed to the undertaking rooms of D. W. Raymond, from where it will be interred unless buried by the owners of the Isabel. Indications of his dress prove that he arose in the night after retiring and went on deck for some purpose and fell overboard. ' _ ' : “Jim’s last name could not be learned as that was the only name he was known by. ' He was first miss'ed by his fellow deck hands on Wednesday morning and from the condition of thebody there is} no doubt that it had been in the water" since that time. There were no indications of foul play upon the body, as was reported, - the only mark being a small spot under the ear where the fish had eaten the flesh. . Coroner Doten was notified last night and arrived this morning, but reserved his decision until after further investi-_ gation can be made. , Captain Smith of the Isabel 'was- ad- vised of the finding of the'body but as yet no arrangements for the interment have been made and it remains" at D.

Instead of showing the lady any courtesy, he twitched the forward seat over with a jerk and caught Mrs. Lloyd’s fingers between the seat-arm and the iron rodof the back, badly The conductor was complained to of the man’s rudeness, but as he did not see the old lady’s hand and evidently only desired not to be disturbed in his swinish occupancy of a whole seat, nothing was left for Mrs. Lloyd to do but bear the intense pain and let her hand bleed until she reached Bridge- port.
