thoroughly wet down that it will not be
stall dusty and two sprinkling carts will
keep it moist. The base hall grounds have
been cleared of the grass, and rolled so
that the players will find it as satisfactory
as could he desired. A rope has been ex
tended around it so as keep the crowd
from encroaching on the field. A tent
has been put up for the display of agri-
cultural implements, and in fact the man-
agers have left nothing undone that will
tend to make it agreeable to exhibitors
and patrons.
The first day, besides four classes of
horse exhibitions for speed, etc., there
will be a “firemen’s speed contest” for a
purse of $100 to run 400 yards and lay

The Bunnell (lass Nolled.
The case against G. B. Bunnell, the show-
man, who is charged with indecent conduct
towards Mrs. Maria McGee, of Birmingham,
while riding from New York to New Haven,
on a train of the Consolidated road, has been
nolled as the court had no jurisdiction.
Mrs. McGee is claimed to be a suspicious
character who is now living with her third
husband, two of whom are still alive. She
kept a saloon of bad repute in Birmingham,
which was the resort of negroes. The An-
sonia Sentinel says there seems to be good
reason to think that Mr. Bunnell was the
victim of a blackmaiiing scheme, as he is
known to be very wealthy, and Mrs. McGee
had graciously expressed herself willing to
let him ed for “:a good round sum.” There
are some, also, who believe the woman a lit-
tle insane.
'A large number of gentlemen well known
in business circles of Bridgeport, Soutbport,
and Westport, went to New Haven Sat-
urday to testify to the good character of Mr.
Bunnell. Chief of Police Luke Martin of
Birmingham and others came to testify to
Mrs. McGee’s unsavory reputation. The
Bridgeport Standard says there is no question
but it was a pure case of blackmail and the
many friends of Mr. Bunnell look at it in that
light. Birmingham’s chief of police says that
the place kept by Mrs. McGee was one of the
lowest, and he ,had {occasion to raid it many
times.
Mrs. Mche was very indignant when she
learned that the case had been dropped. She
threatens to bring a case against the showman
from the town of Milford.

The through Northern Pacific railroad
is at last an accomplished fact, and the
third trans-continental road is practically
completed. The ceremony of driving
the golden spike, which permanently
joined the Northern Pacific coast with

Villard at half past three o‘clock Saturday
afternoon, in the presence of many
distinguished personagcs from our own,
and other countries, and amid the boom-
lag of cannon. The pornt of union was a

The Ridgefield and Portchester Railroad.
The meeting of the Ridgefield and Port
Chester Railroad cempany was held in
Port Chester last Week, and the old board
of officers was reelected. One of them,
when questioned, declined to say anything
except that the road would certainly be
built, and that in a few weeks interesting
Information could be given to the public.
Apropos of the road is the sign, which
some wag stuck up along the line in
Ridgrfield, “Look out for the engine when
the bell rings.” His sarcasm is keen.—

OBITUARY.
Capt. Joseph B. Lockwood, who died
suddenly in Brooklyn, and whose remains
were brought here and buried with Masonic
honors, was a brother of Mrs. Edgar Lyon
of Norwalk. In early life Capt. Lock-
wood, who was a native of Weston, com«
manded a market packet running from
Westport to New York. Later he became
asea captain and for many years com-
manded one of the great southern ocean
steamships. Mrs. Gen. Wm. T. Clark, dur-
ing her residence in Texas. was several
times a passenger in his ship and speaks
in the highest terms of his qualities as an
officer and gentleman. Latterly, ill health
compelled him to remain at home and he
has been on shore duty for one of the
large European lines. He was always an
ardent Mason and amember of a New
Orleans lodge. A Brooklyn lodge ren-
dered their very impres ive funeral service
at his residence the evening prior to the
removal of his body here. His remains
were received at the depot here and the
ritual rendered by Old Well lodge, assisted
by members of St. John’s lodge. The
benediction at the grave was pronounced
by the chaplain of St. John's lodge, Rev.
Geo. L. Fuller. Capt. Lockwood was
most highly esteemed by all who knew
him. His age was 57 years.

Serious Accident.
Thomas Wynn, a son of Own Wynn,
who lives at Cobble Hill, works at the
felt works ,of the Lounsbury & Blast-ll
company. On Saturday afternoon he
and a fellow workman named Cook, were
at work cleaning out the falling machine.
The shaft operating the heavy feet of
these machines was wedged as it was
supposed, and Cook failing to entirely
clear one of them, Wynn went down to
complete the job. Cook not being aware
of this, loosened the machinery and set it
In motion just at the moment when
Wynn had his head dowu in the box in
front of the: advancing foot piece. His
head was caught by the ponderous mass,
his right ear torn to shreds, the flesh of
his cheek lacerated, and the left side of
his head badly contused. Dr. Gregory
was summoned {and arrived about 20
minutes atter the terrible accident. At
that time young Wynn wasapparently in
a dying state. His eyes were set and
blood issuing from his mouth and cars.
A stretcher was improvised and Postmas-
ter [Randlc’s wagon secured, and the
young man hurried to his home. By this.
time Father Slocum had arrived and com—
forted the distressed family by adminis-
tering (the leonsolations ,of 3the church
to the supposed to be fatally injured
youth. Dr. Gregory ,was here assisted
by Dr. Fred BiESell. Stimulants were
given, and the llacerated ear with much
difliculty sewed mp, soon after which,
Wynn revived from his comatose state,
the result of shock and became rational.
At last accounts he seemed to be decidedly
better, thought it cannot yet be delermin~
ed, whether his skull sustained a fracture
or not. It wasavery narrow escape from
instant and a horrible death, and should
serve as an admonition to factory opera-
tives to exercise greater care than they too
frequently seem to do.

Saturday night’s rain was only copious
enough hereabouts to lay the dust and
dampen ~thc thirsty grass roots. It
seemed to bring with it however, a chilly
blast from;thc northern zone and Sunday
night ,overcoat and, winter sacques and
family fires were requisite for comfort.
Mondaygmorning a heavy black frost was
visible, and ice had formed during the
night in many places. There was ozone
and vigor in the air during the day, and
last evening felt more like a November
night than the first third of September.

Track Talk.
The Consolidated road ofilcials express
themselves as well satisfied with the new
naphtha locomotive which lately made a
trial trip on the Connecticut Valley road.
One of the stockholders in the new road
from New York to Danbury informs us
that he is confident the scheme is genu
inc and that the road will be carried
through. Ashe is an honest man, and
not. a stock gambler, we place confidence
in his confidence. He says the present
stockholders will put in a large portion
of the money to be used—Danbury News.
We understand that steps are now being
taken to orgrnize a railroad company to
construct a railroad through the Saugntuck
and Aspetuck ‘ valleys. This would be of
the greatest assistance to our Westport
friends and the large farming and manu-
facturing interests in these valleys. We
hope to see the project successful, and
from what we can learn concerning it, it
will bc.—Bn'dgeport Standard.
Society circles in Chicago are greatly
agitated over the announcement of the
elopement of Dr. H. Webster Jones with
Mrs. Rudolph A. Bigelow. Dr. Jones
was one of the most successful physicians
in the city, and he enjoyed a fashionable
practice worth $30,000 a year. He is a
man of unusual eloquence and has hither-
to borne an unspotted character as a gen-
tleman. He is a member of many of the
clubs. a close student, an enthusiast in his
profession, and a general favorite In fash-
ionable circles. The woman with whom
he eloped, better known as Miriam Bea-
trice Dean, is young and pretty, and had
made some local literary reputation as a
contributor to the press and magazines.
She buried her first husband, was divorced
from the second and has now left the third
and a little girl behind. The doctor also
leaves a wife, who is now with friends in
Connecticut. The most charitable con'
struction which can be placed upon his
conduct in sacrificing popularity, wealth
and society is that he had an Infotuation
for the woman amounting to insanity.
One report Is to the cfiect that they have
gone to Europe, and another that they
started for Australia. The escapadc has
caused much excitemenl.—T1-ibuns.
Dr. Jones’s mother is said to reside in
Bridgeport.

One hundred residences and some twenty

its town limits. The growth of the town
is not now as phenomenally rapid as it
was a few years since, yet our increase in
population and material progress is steady
and sure, as the above facts surely prove.

MURDER MOST MYSTERIOUS.
Stratford Again the Scene and a Young Woman
the Yietlm—Foully Dealt With After Parting
From Her Lover.
Rosa Clark Ambler of Stratford, was to
have been married in about two weeks to
William Lewis, but on Sunday night, 2d,
she was foully murdered while on her
way home from the house of Mr. Lewis
She was not seen alive after 9:30, when
she started for home a distance of two
miles. She had often traversed the dis-
tance and did not feel timid. Her lover
urged with unusual pertinacity that she
should allow him to go home with her.
She refused, but told him that he might
walk as far as the edge of the village.
He bade her good-bye there. Beyond
this everything is a conjecture. The body
was found Monday morning about 7
o’clock. There were evidences of a severe
struggle about her person. A ring had
been torn from one ear, and a thumb-uni
was nearly torn out of its socket, and there
were blood stains upon her clothing.
Upon her neck were marks of violence
and the imprint of a man’s hand was
plainly seen where she had been choked.
She was also froihing at the mouth with
bloody foam. An examination revealed
the fact that the deceased had been shock-
ingly outraged. The body and limbs bear
many bruises and other marks of violence.
A colored man named Boston White, who
figured so prominently in the Brush
murder case,was suspected and put under
arrest.
The murdered woman was divorced
from Norman Ambler, who lives in New
Milford, about two years ago. Ambler
recently wrote several letters to the dc-
ceased, urging her to forget the past and
consent to live with him again, which she
refused to do, being already engaged to be
married to William Lewis a cousin of
Ambler's. Relatives of Lewis claim to
have heard Ambler say that Rosa Clark
should never marry Lewis, and that either
Rosa Clark or Lewis should die first. In
'view of the fact that Rosa Clark was to
be married soon he might have been
tempted to commit the crime. He was
recently seen lounging about Washington
Park, in Bridgeport, engaged in earnest
conversation with a tall, rough-looking
individual wearing a slouch hat. The
gentleman, who says'he saw Ambler, is
well acquainted with him, and thinks he
could not be mistaken.
An inquest with closed doors was begun
on Tuesday, and a large number of wit-
nesses were called. Boston White was
examined and was" discharged from cus-
tody on Wednesday evening. He knew
nothing of the crime; he did not see Mrs.
Ambler on Sunday, during either the day
or the night, and be was nearly two miles
from the scene of the tragedy at the hour
she undertook the journey that led to her
death. Nothing could swerve him from
this simple statement, which he supported
by quoting the names of men and women
who were ready to testify to its correct-
ness. The examination of William Lewis,
convinced the coroner‘ and other ofiicials,
that be is innocent. He and his fiancee
parted the very best of friends and the
last words between them were of love.
What became of her after he left her,
Lewis knew nothing until he was informed
the next day that she had been found
murdered. Lewis had never heard Nor-
man Ambler make any thrcats against
either him or his sweetheart. Lewis and
Ambler were second cousins, but Lewis
had not seen Ambler for nearly twoycars;
in fact, since he had left his wife- and
gone to work in New Milford. Mrs.
Jane Clark, mother of the deceased. had
never known Lewis and her daughter to
quarrel, and Rose looked forward to her
approaching marriage with great joy.
Mrs. Clark knew that she had no money
on her person when she left the house on
Sunday night. She knew of no motive
that anyone could have to kill her daugh-
ter. She had no personal knowledge of
Ambler having made any threats against
her daughter’s life. She did not know
that he had asked her to live with him
again, but Rose would not think of such
a thing. Since the crime Mrs. Clark had
heard that Ambler had threatened her
daughter’s life, but he did not say it to
her. Three sisters and a brother testified,
but they threw no additional light on the
mystery. Sidney Beardsley, a 14-year-
old boy, testified that he met Boston
White near the scene of the murder about
9 o’clock on Sunday night. , '
Mrs. Annie C. Wetzel, a sister of
William Lewis, testified that she was
confident the two lovers were enthusiast-
ically devoted to each other, and she in-
sisted that Rosa’s long walks home from
the village were taken always of her own
accord, as she uniformly refused to
accept her lover's escort.
Drs. Nooney and Cogswell have reitera-
ted bcforc the jury their statement; that
the murdered woman Was outraged.
Dr. Porter of Bridgeport, under directions
from State Attorney Fessenden, held
another autopsymnd it is, generally under-
stood that his finding disagrees with that
of the other physicians and disprovcs the
fact that she was outraged.
Detectives have seen Norman Ambler
are convinced of his innocence. He has
and clearly established that be was in
New Milford on Sunday at 8 p. m.,
which is 40 or 50 miles from Strstford.
It is said that Mrs. Ambler was seen on
Sunday evening in company with a tall
man engaged in animated conversation.
When Ambler was told of the murder
of Rose by the officers, and that he was
under suspicion, he cried like a child and
said :—“My God! my God! do they
think that I’d kill Rose? Why I loved
her better than Ido my own life. i’d
have done anything for her.” He admit-
ted sending letters to her, but denied that
they contained any threatening language.
The testimony of those who knew of his
whereabouts Sunday night effectually
disposes of all suspicion against him.
' Over a week has passed since the
murder, but the mystery is no nearer
solution than it was on the first day.
Several clues have been worked out, but
none of them have led to the detection of
the murderer. A “nervous man," who
hasa passion for following women and
maklng improper preposals to them, is
suspected, and a New York detective and
a reporter is working this clue. He Is
reported wealthy, hails from Philadelphia,
where he has a good social standing, and
has been summering in Stratford. Coroner
Holt hail decided to thoroughly probe
this clue.
Captain Nathan Clark, father of the
murdered woman, and his son returned
to Bridgeport from a fishing trip on
Sunday, and were informed of the terrible
blow which had befallen the household
during their absence.

The death of Mrs. Catherine McCann,
nee Finnegan, which occurred on Tuesday,
was not unexpected, as she had been ill
with consumption for some months. The
deceased will be greatly missed in Catholic
circles, as for years she has been the lead-
ing soprano in the choir of St. Mary’s
church and an indefatigable worker in
that parish. She was a rare vocalist, and
had her fine voice been cultivated she
would unquestionably have stood in the
front rank of American prima donnas,
She also possessed social qualities which
made her a favorite.
The funeral took place at St. Mary's
church on Friday at ,9 a. m., and was
largely attended. The floral tributes were
exceedingly beautiful and profuse, and In-
