Last Thursday Mr. S. P. Tuttle’s car-
riage horse, which had been hitched to a
post_near Hill’s lumber yard took fright
at the cracking of whips by the whip
bucksterson the corner and attempted to
‘ break away. He plunged and floundered,
straddled the post and twisted the carriage
shafts and nearly walked over a couple of
brave young men who struggled heroicly
to quiet the annimal. The carriage sus-
tained only slight injuries. The same
afternoon a fractious horse on Main street
attempted to run away and although he
was promptly checked, he succeeded in
frightening another horse into an attempt
to run away which was also unsuccessful.
P. T. Barnum is a great card player.
Whist is his favorite game and he indulges
himself whenever friends are present and
opportunity offers. He never allows a
pack of cards to be used over three or
four times before it is thrown aside and a
new pack substituted. This habit always
insures crisp new cards to handle.
I Whether he changes cards so often be-
cause he is afraid some of his opponents
will mark the deck on him, we are un-
able to say. Mr. Barnum is a skillful as
well as a constant player. Those who
know say he plays a scientific game.
There is a rumor that he also knows how
to play the fascinating game of poker, but
a News reporter was unable to verify it.—

shows a remarkable increase. The

and procuring lights searched the adjoin-
ing locality but found nothing. The next
morning a gentleman .walking down the
lane towards “Dublin" found the trunk
bursted open. An examination showed
that the-thief who had evidently seen the

camped taking a pocketbook which was

no money in the pocketbook, the $85 be-

peration he armed himself with a Smith
& Wesson revolver and met Adams as he
was coming down stairs and fired at him,
with fatal results. He says his intention
was not to kill Adams, but to cripple him
by shooting him in the shoulder, but that
his wife struck the pistol as he pulled the
trigger and diverted his aim so that . the
bullet went higher than was intended.
Adams was 50 years old and was a veteran
of the Seventeenth regiment. Whipple is
also a veteran of the late war, and much
sympathy is expressed for him, the provo-
cation for his crime being considered very
powerful. He was taken to jail and has a
hearing in the city court today.

Burglar-s Around.
The residence of St. John Merrill, on
the Newtown road, near Betts’ sawmill,
was entered by burglars last night land
wearing apparel taken to: the amount: of
$60. The thieves gained *‘an (entrance
througha window onZthejIground floor
and ransackedltwojroomsr; They had not
completed their work when they were
frightened by the barking of a pet dog.
Mrs. Merrill heard the dog and spoke to
him and this probably scared the burglars
who made of.
About an hour later an attempt was
made to enter Wallace Dana’s house on
the same road. Mr. Dunn heard a noise
at the window but thought “it was the
cat.” The thieves did not gain an en-
trance.

A Great Mistake.
On Saturday without the least justifia-
ble explanation, the entire tramway ‘sys-
tem of New York and Brooklyn was crip- .
pled by a "tie-up" which involved every
line in the two cities excepting the Third
Avenue line in New York which is being
run by non-union men.
for several hours the men were ordered
hack to work as mysteriously as they were
ordered to strike.
And no one knows what gain was sought.
Such trifling and wanton abuse of power
is a great mistake on the part of the lead-
ers of the workingmen. And it is a mis-
take which, if often indulged in, will re-
sult in the final overthrow of the Knights

Mrs. Finch had been suffering . from an
attack of Pernicious Hemorrhagic malaria
but not considered dangerous until Satur-

7 a. in. she died. Beside a large family
circle the deceased leaves a large circle of
friends by whom she will be greatly miss-
ed and to whom the news of her death
will come like a thunderbolt out of a
cloudless sky.
On Tuesday a_fternoon the marriage of
Mr. Marcus B. Butler, of Bridgeport, and
Miss Mary E. Cable, of this place, took
place at the residence of the bride's par-
ents on Canal street. A limited number
of relatives and friends witnessed the
ceremony, which was performed by Rev.
J. R. Williams. After receiving the con-
gratulations of friends the happy couple
took a carriage and were driven to South
Norwalk, where they took the express for
New York. After a brief bridal trip they
will take up their residence in Newtown
for the summer.
The west side of the river is infested by
a gang of young boys whose depredations
are becoming serious. It is not safe to
leave one’s premises without a guard as
some of the number will be on hand to go
through the hen house and appropriate
any articles that may be lying around
handy. If these boys, whose ages vary
from seven to thirteen, are not growing
up in idleness we do not understand the
meaning of the term, and, if so, where are
the officers whose duties include looking
after such cases? It is certainly time
some action was taken to impress upon

Newspaper advertising is the most ener-
getic and vigilant of salesmen, addressing
thousands each day, always in the adver-
tiser’s interest, and ceaselessly at work
seeking customers from all classes. One
would hardly expect a manufacturer of
tombstones to advertise in a funny paper
like the Judge, but one has been'doing so
regularly and the other day received an
$8,000 order from New Mexico. This
proves that you never know when and
where advertising will get in its work,
but it strikingly demonstrates the fact that
it does, and its results are beneficial to the
advertiser.—Ansonia Sentinel.

Occasionally a Hartford man turns up

event happens, the hit is, pretty likely to
be made in the Louisiana State Lottery.
Only a short time ago a lad named Duffy
drew $5,000 and the money was promptly

case at the time. And now comes Benja—

genes that he is the winner of one.fifth of
ticket No. 84,514, which drew the fourth
capital prize of $6,000. This ticket was
in the drawing of the 11th inst., Mr.
Prouty was advised of his good fortune on
the 21st, and ire received his share of the
ticket, viz: $1,200. A few years ago the
same man was half owner of a ticket
which drew $2,000, and he was promptly
paid his share. He may be considered a
lucky man, but he says the chances are
open to all, and he thinks the risk worth
taking—Hartford (Conn.) Times, May 26.

A Grea_t_ Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
“ In the winter of 1879 I was attacked with
Scrofuln. in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time I had no less than thirteen large
abscesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure.‘ It is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. - After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Flashy, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, drugglst, of Lockport, I was induced
to try Hood’s Sarsaparilia. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all
disa peered, except the unsightly scars,whlch
are m3 becomin ‘smaller by de ees, and
beautif ly less.’ do not know w at it may
have done for others, but I do know that in
arty ease, Hood’s Sarsa arilla. has proved an

my titude I send these facts unsolicited
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by ‘personnl correspondence with
