BROWNING ACCIDENT.
A Little Boy Falls into the River
and is Drowned.
The Mother Tries to Commit Sui—
cide.
Shortly after 10 o’clock Monday morn-
ing Mrs. Pinkys Krakow, whose hus-
band keeps a little dry goods and cloth-
ing store on the Washington street
bridge at South Norwalk, discovered
her little three-year-old son Mox, float-
ing on top of the water at the rear of
the store. Her screams attracted the
attention of Lewis Lockwood, who
keeps a meat and oyster market three
doors below, and he ran out upon the
platform and saw the child. _ He at
once procured a ladder and putting one
end down in the mud, descended and
secured the child. Just as he started
to ascend, the mother, who hadbecome
temporarily insane with . excitement,
jumped overboard and striking against
an underbrace to the platform knocked
out several of her front teeth. She was
rescued. however, by several who had
been attracted to the place by the
screams,and as soon as she was brought
up the ladder attempted several times
to jump in again and drown herself,
but was prevented after a severe tussle.
The child was taken into the house
and Drs. Clarke and Baker,who had re-
sponded to the cal], placed him upon a
table and did everything in their power
to produce artificial respiration, but
without result. The father and mother
of the little boy were completely over-
come by the sad affair and both pulled
out their hair and threw themselves up-
on the floor in their grief. The poor
mother was rendered insane and con-
stantly made efforts to elude the watch-
ful eye of friends and jump overboard.
She will need careful watching as she
continually cried that she would end
her life in the same way that her little
boy had died. '
Declared off. '
Many people in Stamford and neigh-
boring towns recently receivéd invita-
tions to attend the marriage of Miss
Annie A., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P.
T. Mongon and Dr. J. H. Carroll, both
of Greenwich, which was to take place
in” St. Mary’s church in the latter town
at 4:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon.
It was to be one of the swellest wed-
dings of the season in Greenwich.
There was to be a big reception in the
evening at the home of the bride’s pare
ents, who are well-to-do people. Miss
Mongon is a popular Greenwich belle,
accomplished and good-looking.
Wednesday morning it was announc-
ed that the wedding was indefinitely
postponed, savs the Advocate. The
news surprised friends of the parties
who could hardly believe that a change
of arrangements would be made at the
“eleventh hour,” so to speak. The
news was soon confirmed, however, by
persons in a position to know.
It has been rumored ever since the
engagement was made public that the
parents of Miss Mongon were opposed
to the match owing to dislike of the
Doctor, who has, itis said, been accus-
tomed at times to manifest too strong
a liking for intoxicants. Wednesday
afternoon Mr. Mongon was in Stam-
ford, and made inquiries about the
Doctor from acquaintances in this town
which apparently were not satisfactory.
Dr. Carroll is comparatively a young
man. His diploma is from the Indian-
apolis Medical College. 'He has, it is
said, practiced in Derby, Norwalk and
Flatbush, L. I. Several months ago
he paid a visit to Stamford. He was
looking about for a place to establish
himself in regular practice. An oppor-
tunity presented itself in Greenwich,
and recent reports from that town were
to the effect that he was doing well,
having built up a large practice and
having been appointed a town physi-
cian.
Mr. Mongon wrote a letter to each
person who had been invited to the
wedding, announcing that it was indefi-
nitely posponed. The wedding pres-
ents were returned to those from
whom they had been received.
The following touching appeal is pub-
lished as a personal in the advertising
columns of the Bucoda, Wash., Enter-
prise: “Three or four years is nota
lifetime, but it is a long time for a doc-
tor to wait for his fee when his wife
and babies are crying for bread and
sorghum. I will take everything on
account from a spring chicken to a
hillside farm, but a settlement of some
kind 1 must have. In future, a dis-
count of 10 per cent. will be given on
all bills paid monthly. If you pay your
physician promptly he will attend you
promptly, night or day, rain or shine,
while your slow neighbor suffers and
waits as he made the doctor wait; and
while “he is waiting the angels gather
him in.”

Mr. John Barber who fell from an
apple tree at his home in New Canaan.
on Monday last, suffering a paralysis
of the spine, died on Wednesday. The
deceased was a veteran of the late war,
having served in the 10th C. V., and re-
enlisted at the expiration of his first
three ‘years service. He was a member
of Wooster Lodge, I. O. O. F., of New
Canaan.
John Wilson, an eight-year-boy fell
down a flight of stairs at his home in
Stamford, Wednesday, dislocating one
of_ 1118. shoulders and receiving other
slight injuries. Boy like, he was slid-
me; down the bannister when he fell ofi.
. It is one of the best reasons for liv-
ing in New England, truthfully says
the Winsted Herald, that there were
almost no bank failures in the terrible
strain we have been through, none at
all in Connecticut. This will bear re-
peating and thinking of many times.
A raid was made by thieves Wednes-
day night, on the farm of Luzon J ellifl'
at Belden Hill, and his cornfield strip-
ped of all the street corn that was fit to
eat. Only the night before Mr. J ellifi'
:vas robbed of several bushels of toma-
ocs.
William A. Kellogg was 57 years old
on Wednesday, and in the evening there

BRIGAN 08 AND HIGHWAYM EN.
nutter Police Protection in Rural Dis-
tricts Needed.
Most Americans cherish the singular
superstition that brigandage and high-
way robbery are only‘..possible in de-
praved backward countries like Spain,
Sicily or. Greece, and- that an English-
speaking country with courts and the
common law must necessarily be free
from these pests. .
This is nonsense, says the Philadel— '
phia. Press. Brigands, footpads and
highwaymen will spring up in any
land where an efficient police is ab-
sent. They, swarmed over England a.
century and a half ago, they were
frequent in France a little earlier,
and they were to be found over
most of Europe in the last cen-
tury. They are certain to appear in
this country and become a. widespread
pest unless there is a. radical change
in the American habit of keeping the
people’s peace.
At present, it is left to keep itself.
Great tracts of this country are left
without any protection to travel, ex-
cept the sheriff and the constable.
City people have very little idea of the
insecurity which exists in many Amer-
ican rural districts.» There are many
counties in New York state, and some
doubtless in this state, where it would
not be considered prudent for an unat-
tended woman to walk in broad day
along a lonely country road. The
farms on which farmers are in con-
stant fear of tramps can be numbered
by the thousand. While abroad, even
in countries like Spain and Italy, the
rural districts are given the benefit of
a police patrol paid for by taxes or by
the wealth and trade of the cities,
here our thinly settled farming neigh-
borhoods are left to protect themselves
as best they can.- ,
The wonder is, not that a train is
now and then held up, but that this
does not happen a great deal oftener.
Depend upon it, these modern high-
way robberies in the shape of train
robberies will go increasing until our
states establish a. permanent rural
police.
RUSSIA’S UNHAPPY STATE.
Arguments as to the Danger of Lending
Money to Her.
Summing up the facts, says Darkest
Russia, we find that Russian finances
are based exclusively upon the sol-
vency of the agricultural population
of the country; that these unfortunate
people are hopelessly insolvent and
are kept in a. state of chronic starva-
tion; that the corn indispensable to
their existence is exported abroad;
that they live for half the year in the
air, sleeping on the bare ground, and
for the other half in hideous hovels;
that they are obliged to Sell their cat-
tle and to burn the straw of their roofs
in order to prolong this horrible life,
and that they are physically degen-
erating and becoming unfit for man-
ual labor; that the government, in.
stead of attempting to improve ,their
miserable lot, blithely continues to
augment its budget in inverse propor-
tion to their insolvency, flogging them
for arrears” until they raise money at six
thousand per cent. interest; that even
under the most favorable circum-
stances agriculture is absolutely unre-
munerative; that Russia does not pro-
duce a single grain of superfluous corn,
and that mismanagement has brought
about such an abnormal state of things
in the empire that a good harvest is
more ruinous than a. failure of the
crops.
Lastly, that they who lend Russia.
money, in the teeth of these indubit-
able facts, are not only making a.
financially unsound investment, but
are rendering themselves morally re-
sponsible for the untold misery of one
hundred million of their fellow men.
TO PROTECT JACK TAR.
European Shipmasters to Adopt the Midge
- System for Paying Sailors.
The British board of trade is trying
to extend what is known as the Midge
system to such continental portsns
Havre, Dunkirk, Rouen, Antwerp, Rot-
terdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg, in
order to prevent the systematic rob-
bery of sailors, who often lose the
wages for whole voyages in asingle
night on shore. Under this Midge sys-
tem, says the New York Post, as soon
as a ship arrives in port, a. board of
trade officer, specially appointed for
the purpose, boards her, and, after as-
certaining how many hands wish to
proceed home without delay, obtains
from the master particulars as to the
wages due and the deductions charge-
able to the men. Each seamen, after
vouching for the accuracy of his ac—
count by signing it, receives a.
ticket for” his destination with a small
advance to defray minor traveling ex-
penses, and leaves for home as soon
as his services can be dispensed with
on board ship. The balance of wages
due to him is forwarded by the board
of trade officer, and thus his earnings
have a chance of reaching his family
instead of filling the pockets of the
crimps. The superintendent 'of mar-
cantile marine at Gravesend has been
sent to Dunkirk to make the necessary
arrangement for the introduction of
the system, and if successful there
it will be extended to other ports. It
is estimated that between 1882 and
1893 British sailors were robbed of
two hundred thousand pounds in Dun-
kirk alone.
An Ingenious Toad.
A scientific journal tells this story of
,a frog’s cunning: A brood of chickens
was fed with moistened meal in. sau-
cers, and when the dough soured a lit
tle it attracted a large number of
flies. An observant toad had evident-
ly noticed this, and every day toward
evening he would makehis appearance
in the yard, hop to a saucer, climb in
and roll over and over until he was
covered with meal, having done which
he awaited developments. 'The flies,
enticed by the smell, soon swarmed
around the scheming batrachian, and
whenever one passed within two
inches of his nose his tongue darted
out and the fly disappeared. The plan
worked so well that the toad made
regular business of it. - .
