Narrow ESCIDB of a ' Camper at Compo' Beech. Rescued liy Comnin: rs ll an Exhausted) . ion. 1‘ on Thursday afternoon what might have been a very 5 Id accident was happily averted by the presence of mind of two Westpmt young men. I i . It happened t int 11. young man named Wallace B1.1d1ey, who is camping at Cedar Point, accompanied by Alexis Downs and George Jacobs, went in for a swim at Compo‘ Beach. .. A Crowboat belonging to the’campers was taken some distance from shore and anchored to be used to dive form. ' ,.Th'e skiff was turned bottom upwards and, the sport be ;an. - ' The three lined up on one side of the boat in the water and' began to make it revolve papidly, 111 st right side up then bottom upwards, by climb- ing on the 51 'le as fast as it rolled over. It r- quired considerable skill to avoid being caught under the boat as it came over each time. . Suddenly Bridley’s 'foot became tangled in the anchor rope and was pulled under while the boat rolling over closed down on him. He was caught like a rat in a trap and the rope held him fast so that nothing could be seen or hearJ. of ‘ min by which his exact whereabouts could be determined. Here was a very seri- ous and Jacobs evidently realized the fact and at once went to Work to do all that they could. Diving for him having proved unsuccessful they turned the boatlover and there was Bradley with just the top of his head out of water- _ Iliis strength was about gone when his compinions undertook the task of rescuing him. He clutched at them and catching them by the hair dragged them under many times but he did not have strength enough to hold them under for any length of time. It was with difficulty that he was freed from the ropejust as he relapsed into un- consciousness and towed to shOre by his companions, who were completely exhausted from their exertions. Bradley recovered in a short time predicament and Downes and seemed to have received no injury further than being filled with water. Altogether it was'a pretty narrow es- cape, and it can be easily imagined what the consequences might have ,, been but for the determined efforts put forth by Downes and Jacobs. —-——————-<o-o>——-—--— New Canaan Congratulates. We extend to Norwalk our hearty congratulations. The highway leading from that town to this, known. as the “New Canaan Road,” is being put in good shape. A large gang of laborers and tzams are now engaged in cutting down the hills and filling up the hol- lows. This is an improvement that has long been needed.

Old Humidity Causes the Adjournment of a Democratic Caucus. The canons of the Democratic voters of the Second Voting district was an- nounced to take place in Ar ion hall last evening, for the. purpose of electo ing dele gates to the State, Senatorial, County, Congressional and Probate conventions. At the hour appointed for the meet- ing there were exactly thirteen in the hall including one reporter. The temperature was fiercely hot, and after sweltering for perhaps five minutes, an uneasy feeling came over those present, which came to a happy climax with a motion to adjourn. The adjournment was taken until next Tuesday evening. The Gazette Wonders. If that cool wave has Ibeen sighted. If the home banks will win on the . town bond question.

Andrew McQueeney and Reuben Stearns, switchmen in the railroad yard at the Union Depot, New Haven, made a ghastly discovery at 12:52 this morning when backing up to couple two sections of theCanai freight on the fifth track out from the west end of the depot platform. A man’s body lay the trunk cut c0m~ Death must have across one rail, pletely through. been instantaneous. The evidences were that the man was struck by a west-bound train, and it was supposed that it was the INew York fast freight, due to leave at 12.20, which pulled out at 12.40 this morning. The man was unknown about the rail- road yards and there was nothing on his person to disclose his identity. The body was well though cheaply clothed in a coat of mixed brown, mirked with the'namc “Davis 8.: Co,” and striped trousers nearly new. The hair, which - was dark brown and curly, had been neatly trimmed, and the face was smooth-shaven. There was every in- dication of cleanliness about the man and his hands were white and tender. The body measured about 5 feet 10 inches and would weigh full 200 pounds. The chest development and physical condition of the unfortunate man were excellent. He had a ruddy complexion, full face and general appearance of either Swede or Germ-m, at the age of 28 years. The nearest that any of the depot em- ployes could come to the identification was to say that the appearance was in some respects similar to a man . whom they had observed in the waiting room waiting for a train for Derby. An- other railroad hand thought it looked like a slight Holmes, but knew nothing more about acquainta nce named the man. The body was taken to Beecher & Bennett’s undertaking 1ooms, after an examination by Acting Medicil Ex- aminer Eliott, and further attempts to identify it will be made to-day. A-_ 4" 7 To Recover on Mortgage. Deputy Sheriff Doolan of Bridgeport served papers yesterday in a suit brought by Elbeit S. Adams of Nor- walk against John E.

The plaintiff represents that August 13, 1895, Faulkner owed John W. Fan- cher $750, and gave a mortgage deed 0n property in the town of N orwalk. The note was sold to Adams, and with interest is unpaid. Attorney Beers and wife claim to have an attachment of $800 on the prop- erty in question, and are thus brought in as defendants. The complaint rep- resents that onc Thomas B. Griffin is now in possession of the property. The Hot Wave. The hot wave that arrived afew days since is still here, and has in no wise decreased in volume of heat and humidity. There was an atmospheric disturbance about 9 o’clock last night, that might be likened to a miniature cyclone. Everything portable was sent skittering by the breeze, but it was a glorious change that was en- joyed by all. The atmosphere, how- ever, is as oppressive as ever to-day. 4 A.: ‘vv A New Church.
