A Danbury Girl Has a Thrilling Experience
Saturday, Night.
I
DANBURY,Dec.12.-—~Kate Dounelly, I
aged 25,
the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. was the
victim of a thrilling experience, Sat-
» 11rday night, which, however, will not
result seriously. She was on the tracks
a. short distance below the city and had .
just come to the middle of a bridge
when a New York train came along
and all efforts of the engineer to stop
the train were futile and the distance
was too great for the woman to get
to the end of the bridge. -:The woman
waited until the train was near up to
her and then jumped into the river a
distance of about 15 feet. The water
Was Only about three feet deep, so the
woman managed to get out of the water
unaided. She was then taken aboard
the train and conveyed to the nearest
factory where all efforts were made to
prevent any [fatal results. The woman
received quite a shock from her plunge
into the icy water and became uncon-
scious when taken aboard the train
and was revived with difficulty. It was
learned today that the woman was not
any worse from her adventure.

‘CLEARED THE DEBT.
'Mr. Farrel’s Splendid Generosity to His
Daughter’s Church.
”——
IFIanklin Panel, the millionaire
while walkino' on the t1 acks of pi es1dent of the Bridgeport F01 ge 00.,
the Farrel Foundiy and Machine Co. ,
and owner of large suga1 plantations
in Cuba, paid off the entire debt of
Christ church, Ansonia, just before the
marriage of his daughter, Miss Flor-
ence Adele Farrel, to George Clarke
Bryant, this week.
Rather than see his daughter wed-
ded in a mortgageoridden church, Mr.
Fariel summoned the trustees and,
lean ning that $27, 000 would make this
church entirely fiee of incumbrance,
drew a check for that Sum and handed
it to the astonished men. The church
is one of the largest and handsomest in
Connecticut and the wedding was the
most brilliant that ever took place in
Ansonia.
Besides the gift to the church M11.
Farrel presented to the bride 11. dowry
of $250,000 and handed the bridegroom
820,000 more to defray the expenses
of a two months’ wedding trip.

A LOST CHILD.
Taken in Charge by the South NorwaIk
Police.
W
Saturday afternoon, a child appar-
ently about three years of age, Ivan
found on North Main street, cold and
crying for his mother. He was taken
to the home of a good Samaritan in
out and given something to eat, and
later turned over to the police depart-
ment.
1 Chief Vollmer took the youngster in
handand after a'vain search to locate
the child’s home, turned him over to
Constable Goodwin, who, after an
equally vain search took him to his,
(Goodwin’s) home.
Here, he was again “thawed out ’
and given something to eat, and soon
was at play with the Goodwin children.
About 8 o’clock in the evening, a dis-
tracted father rushed down Haviland
street, having been informed that his
child was at the home of M11. Goodwin
and being well ca1 ed for..
The man was William Fahan of
Franklin avenue, this city, and the
meeting between child and parent was
an affecting one.
A search had beeh made for the child
in this end of the town it apparently
not having occurred to the parents that
the child would wander as far as South

A THREE-YEAR LAW.
*
Sportsman Want the Game Birds of the State
Protected by it.
A lively interest is already being tak-
en 1n the ' approaching session of the
legislature, and numerous measures
are being projectedand bills framed in
anticipation of a. busy session, though
the assembly does not convene until
next month.
Among other matters, which have 8.1—
11eady been mentioned as under way is
a. movement, which originated with
the sportsmen of New Haven, to deeply
interest the sportsmen throughout the
state in a. bill which it is proposed to
introduce for the better protection of
game. It is sweeping in its provisions
and will make it a misdemeanor for
any one to offer game birds for sale
within the limits of the state for the
next three years. The project is said
to have the support of well knowu and
wealthy sportsmen in New Haven, and
others are being interested as rapidly as
possible.
It is held that the snaring of birds
as now practiced, although against the
law, will eventually exterminate the
game birds of the state, which have
been growing fewer every year, unless
some drastic measure is put in opera
