To Raise a Drowned Man.-
The best way to raise the body of a
drowned man is to take a number of
half-gallon jars, fill them with unslaked
lime and water and drop them in the
river in the place where the body is
supposed to be. Each will explode
with a loud report, and if the body is
anywhere near it is sure to rise.
Barnum’s Heirs May Sell Out.
It is believed that the Barnum and
Bailey show is to change ownership.
C. Barnum Seeley, one of the heirs,

standing between all the parties con-
cerned and that the Barnum and Bailey
partnership would terminate this fall.
He intimated that the Barnum heirs
would probably sell out.

A Conservator Appointed.
_ A hearing in reference to the appoint-
ing of a conservator over Mary L
Bates and her son William Bates of
Rowayton. was held in the Probate
Court, before Judge Woodward. Mon-
day afternoon. Several witnesses were
examined and a shocking state of affairs
. was shown to exist- Indeed, they are
too revolting for publication. Both
mother and son are evidentl of un-
sound mind, the latter being ittle less
than a beast in human fornf. Some
ears ago the woman’s husband died
eavmg a property valued at perhaps
$1,000 and'some mone in the bank.
The administrator is a arien man and
he has prov1ded food, etc., for the fam-
ily. Frequent complaint has been made
of the actions of the son, who has sev-
eral times frightened women in that vi-
cinity. On hearing the testimony Judge
Woodward appomted William T. Ray-
mond conservator. _
Both the woman and her son will be
sent to the asylum for the insane, and
an order will probably be issued by the
Court for the sale of the property, the,
money to be used in defraying the ex.
penses of Mrs. ,Bates and son at the
asylum. *

"Tom ” Cooney Causes A Panic.-
Several young ladies who were in
bathing near Jennings’ wharf Tuesday
afternoon, received quite a fright.
While they were sporting in the water
theresuddenly arose an immense wave
that threatened to engulf them in its
embrace. They, however, managed to
reach the shore in safety. The wave it
was learned later was caused _by Mr.
Thomas Cooney who at the time had
jumped fromthe pier into the water a
few hundred feet farther up the harbor.

Runaway on West Avenue.
Tuesday evening, a colored man in
the employ of Mrs. E. Hill, of South
Norwalk, drove to the Borough and to
Knight street, where leaving the horse
unhitched; he went into a house on that
street. During the driver’s brief ab-
sence the horse became frightened and
ran into Wall street, scraping a horse
car with the carriage. He continued
on down the street until. when in front
of Silas Gregory’s residence on West
avenue, he collided with a horse and
carriage in which were seated Mr. and
Mrs. Platt Price. The force of the col-
lision threw the runaway horse and
overturned the Price carriage. Assist-
ance quickly arrived at the scenehand
Mr. and Mrs. Price were placed in a
coach and taken home. Both escaped
serious injury, although Mr. Price’s
back was quite severely hurt. Neither
of the horses showed a disposition to
run after the collision. The Price car-
riage was considerably damaged, and
the injury to the Hill carriage was con-
fined to a broken shaft. The Price
horse was led home. In the meantime
the driver of the Hill horse arrived,
and hitching the animal to the carriage,
started to drive off, but the horse made
a dash across the street. and the driver
was unable to control him. He was
then unhitched and'led home,

The Handicap Bicycle Race.
“It will come 011' if it rainsbicycle
lamps,” remarked an enthusiastic mem-
ber of the Alpha Wheel club Saturday
morning. He referred to the annual
10-mile handicap race to be. given under
the auspices of the club in the after-
noon. At the time it had every ap-
pearance that the race would be " trot-
ted” in the rain. The race _came 011',
it was a grand success, and it-dld not
rain—that is not until after the race
was finished.
As early as three o’clock people be-
gan to assemble on the Green, dressed
in their best but in' nearly every case
with umbrellas under their arms. As
far as the eye could reach down the
avenue the walks were fringed_w1th
people anxious to see the race, which it
is estimated was witnessed by fully two
thousand persons. ,
Shortly after 4 o’clock starter Geoge
Kirk gave the word "go” to E. Daniels
and W. Schlitt and they were followed
in quick succession according to their
handicap, the last two to get the word
“go” being J. B. Perry and C. Ford
Seeley. A great deal of interest was
centered in these last two riders, both
as to what time they would make and
as to which would gain the elegant $35
rider making the fastest time over the
course. The race was closely contested
by these two riders and as will be seen
by the score below, Perry won the
medal with only one second to spare.
His time was 29.06. .
While on the down stretch for the
second time, and when near the rail-
road crossing on East avenue, Stanley
New Britain. Both were thrown from
their wheels. Smith received severe
wounds about the head, face and body,
and his wheel was wrecked. Raymond
was cut on his knee but was able to
mount his wheel, which he did and re-
turned to the starting point.
The judges were Messrs E. N. Sloan,
H. R. Smith, J. P. Treadwell, W. A.
Curtis and E. O. Keeler. Messrs H.E.
Dann, Munson Hoyt and Chas. Dil-
worth acted as timers, and A. F. Carl-
isle as referee.
The following'is the order in which
the riders crossed the line at the finish :
There were twenty-six prizes, and
the winners were. given their choice ac-
cordin to the order in which they
crosse _the line lit the finish. .The
first prize was a solid silver service
valued at $40, the next a $25 clock, a
third, a lamp, 315, and the fourth, a
silver urn valued at $10. The prize of
a box of cycle wax was awarded to W
E. Osborne, of East Norwalk, he being
the rider; to finish nearest to "forty
minuets, ’ as the score cards had it.
