A new puzzle has been invented by :1
Bridgeport genius, which, while it requires

a combination of cars and engine, the
puzzle being to reverse the engine and

placed. It is a good one.

A public park of decent size and mag

both the borough and city need and which
should be secured bcforc suitable lands
therefor become so valuable for other pur-
poses that thcy cannot be secured. Why
could not the Fair Grounds be secured for

ket at a very low price.

TheDld Leather Man Found Dead.
The career of the strange character
lhgs been a wanderer over the western
' part-of Connecticut for the past twenty-
flvol‘years is at last closed. lie was found
dead in a cave on the Dell Farm, in Mount
Pleasant, near Sing Sing, N. Y., Sunday,
.by Mr. Henry Miller. Death was caused
by the cancer which had eaten away a
portion of his lower lip and made a hole
through the jaw and into the throat.
Early in the winter, at the instigation of
R. L. de Zeng, agent for the Connecticut
Humane society, the Leather Man was
arrested near Middletown and taken to
the Hartford hospital. He arrived there
on the afternoon of December 3d, having
been brought from Middletown in a team
by Agents Thrall and dc Zeng. All efforts
to detain him were fruitless, and after
remaining here about an hour he took his
little leather bag and resumed his journey,
for the ofllccrs of the hospital had no
power to detain him. On the following
Sunday. December 9, he appeared at the
house of J. F Barnard in North Haven.
The man was dripping with rain and mud
and was taken in and cared for, but he re-
fused to remain long.
From documents which he lost some
years ago, but which were found by
others, his life’s story was discovered for
the firsttime. It is stranger than fiction,
a tragic, mournful romance. Crazy Jules
Bourglay, “the old Leather Man," was a
broken-hearted, shattered-brained crea-
ture, who did silent and systematic pen-
ance for his disastrous failure in early life.
When a young man Bourglay became eu-
gaged to the daughter of a rich leather
merchant named Laron in Paris. The
father objected, but agreed to take him
into the leather business for a year, and if
he proved himself energetic and possessed
of good qualities, to give him as a reward
the hand of the daughter in marriage. (In
the other hand, if he proved unworthy
of confidence, he must give up his suit
and go away from Paris.
Jules accepted, of course, and was soon
in the office of .his prospective father-in—
law as a confidential man and agent. This
was in 1857, the year when leather fell 40
per cent. Borrrglay had no inkling of
this unforseen danger, and thinking he
saw an opportunity to contribute toward
filling his employer’s coffers, he speculated
ually to drag him down to ruin and dis-
grace. Finally the crash camc. Thousands
of men in the leather trade were either
ruined or thrown out of work, and as
poor Jules reeled away from the ofilce

came turned. For two years he was con—

Members of the Masonic fraternity gen—

is a prospect of a speedy settlement of the
trouble at present existing between the
Grand Lodge, of Connecticut, and Old
Hiram Lodge, of New Haven. The
trouble arose in consequence of Hiram’s
refusal to abandom its system of ancient
work in conformity with the edicts of the
Grand Lodge. Hiram claimed that its
charter antedated that of the Grand Lodge,
and in such a matter the latter had no
right to dictate. ‘
The City of New York, the Aller and
the Britannic, all three fast boats, started
from New York for Europe Wednesday
morning. The City of New York left her
dock at 7:50 and sailed down the North
river with the Britannia close behind,
while the Aller brought up the rear. The
three vessels kept this order until they
were beyond quarantine, when the Brit—
annic passed Sandy Hook and out into the
ocean at 9:30; the New York at 9:35, and
the Aller at 9:45. Tire question now
asked by persons of sporting proclivitics
who are interested in steam navigation is:
In what order will the racers reach the
other side of the ocean.
When the vote in the presbytcry, by

church case was announced in Washing—

He had been engaged in the hearing of
the case for many hours each day for two
days, and felt a deep personal interest in
it. Tire action of the prcsbytery declared
the opinion of tinit body that the church
was liable for and should pay the $2,640
claimed by Mr. Colclazier. Dr. Little
took this action as a reflection to some
extent on his own c :nduct in the matter.
Corporal James Tanner was born at
Cobleskill, N. Y., in 1843. At the age of
17 he taught school. When the war
broke out he was 18. He enlisted in the
eighty-seventh New York Volunteers. In
the Peninsular campaign he was made
corporal. Afterward, while his regiment
was covering Pope’s retreat, in shell burst
near him and shattered both of his legs.
They were both amputated below the
knee, and he had to use artificial legs.
He was appointed to a clerkship in the
War Department by Charles A. Dunn in
1804, and he held the place foraycar.
Later he was a clerk in the State Depart.
ment, and still later a doorkceper ln the
Assembly at Albany. His last place was
that of Collector of Taxes in Brooklyn

that is a fact that newspaper readers do
not slight the advertisements. They how:
come to realize that the advertisements in
a newspaper represent the goods which
the merchants have for sale, and they
take pains to familiarize themselves with
what storekcepers have to offer. More-
over the constituency of a paper are very
apt to be governed by what they read in
their own paper. If the paper is accepted
in its political, moral and intellectual tone
as our home paper. its advertisers share
the respect and confidence bestowed upon
the paper itself. This is an important
fact for advertisers to remember; at the
same time it calls for the exercise on the
part of the newspaper publishers of great
care in the admission of advertisements.

The Stamford Record gives this version
of the Seelye affair :--“Norwalk papers
have this week been filled with the story
of an clopcment of a Stamford girl with a
married man of that town, the following
up of the couple by an angry brother and
an ofilcer, and the capturing and taking
away of the young girl from her unprin-
cipled lover. The story as given was:
Hattie Seelye, a comely young girl just.-
budding into womanhood, was enticed
away from her home last Saturday by one
Selleck, a teamster formerly employed by
David Finch, the East Norwalk truckmnn.
Working upon a clue furnished by the
brother, Ofi'lcer Toner succeeded in lo—
cating the girl at the old Disbrow place,
on tlre'Wolfpit Hill road, now occupied
hya man named William Wood. Here
Selleck and the young woman had been
living as husband and wife. The Seelye
girl willingly left the place and returned
home with her brother. 0n the way to
the borough she said Selleck was in the
house. He saw her brother and the officer
approaching, and sniffing trouble in the
air concealed himself in one of the rooms.
This story, however. is denied by Willram ‘7
Wood, at whose house the girl was found.
He said the Scelyc girl came to his house
last Saturday night and asked to remain
over Sunday, saying she was gorng to work
in Norwalk Monday morning. She told a
pitiful story of her home relations; how
her parents had turned her out of doors;
that she had sought refuge at the home
of her sister in New Canaan, and she, too,
had set her adrift. Mr. Wood was
slightly acquainted with the young wo-
man, pitied her condition and kept her
over Sunday. He says she is a wayward
girl. Wood denies that Selleck. was in
the house, or had been there.”
