Mrs. L. w. Leavenworth, of Bridgeport with her daughter, Miss Lilly, were out riding Wednesday morning in that city, and about Il o'clock met with a sad accident, which resulted in the death of the former few hours later. The Standard says: ''They had driven up tc the watering tank on Crescent avenue, and after the horse had drank he started of on run, crossing the track, and turning into East Washington avenue ran as far as Beech street, where he attempted to turn the corner. The carriage came in contact with tree, throwing the elder, Mrs. Leavenworth, out on the sidewalk. She received severe iniu ries by the fall, which, with nervous prostra tien, caused her death about two o'clock this afternoon. The daughter was driving at the time, and was not thrown from the carriage. and received no injury. Mrs. Leavenworth was well known throughout the city, and large circle of friends and acquaintances will be pained to hear of her sudden and untime- ly death The accident was a sad one, and sthe relatives will no doubt have the sympa-- thy of the general public in their bereave-- ment."

Camp .Fairchild.

Heat and Rafn-ss Dismasted Tents D.
 Review To-day.
 At Camp Fairchild, Mantle, on Wednes- day, at 9:30, Surgeon General H. s. Fuller recommended suspension of business, ow- ing to the overpowering heat, many men having felt unable to drill, and Brigadier General Smith immediately issued an order that no duty would be expected of the brig ade till after dinner. The men signifed their appreciation of this order by marching to General Smiths quarters and giving him rousing cheers. Hundreds then availed themselves of the opportunity to bathe in the sea, and the time passed pleasantly till nearly twelve o'clock, ,awhen heavy thunder storm burst over the camp. The gale made sad havoc with nearly all the messing quar- ters, where the dinner tables were spread. The canvas roofs were blown off, letting tor rents of rain in upon the dinner laden tables. The smaller tents were blown away; and the immense tents of Chaffee of the First and Gavitt of the Third regiments in each of which four or five companies are served, were blown down fiat, carrying tables, din- ner, dishes and all in the wreck Suffers whose houses withstood the tempest helped out their less fortunate neighbors, so the men generally were served with substantial dinners at two o'clock. Gavitt thinks $15O will no more than make good the loss to his property. The tents of the officers and men of the brigade were nearly all se- curely fastened and did not suffer- but streams of watex began running all over the camp-into some tents and under others, and men might be seen in all directions with shovels digging trenches, and building em- bankments to ward off the brooks.
 A brigade review was held in the afternoon, followed by regimental dress parade. In the evening the Third Regiment band gave serenade to Colonel Tubbs, which was en- joyed by the whole camp. Lieutenant Lee of the battery is a splendid rider, as shown in the afternoon when he and other officers had a race up and down the parade ground at a high rate of speed.
 Yesterday Major Clapp inspected the Third regiment
 To-day the brigade review takes place. It will either be by Lieutenant Governor Gallup or Adiutant General Harland, probably the latter The Shore Line trains have brought many from New London each day to witness the military proceedings. A special train runs to the camp from New London to-day.

Little Willie Weir, the four-year- old Bridgeport boy who was run over by horse car at Congress street, Tuesday evening, and had the injured leg amputated immediately afterwards died yesterday morning Daniel Weir, the father, came home the night be- fore in state of riotous intoxication, and after abusing his wife and making general commotion about the house, threw himself upon the bed where his injured son was lying Weir was arrested. The prisoner resisted, and tore the officers clothing in the struggle. The excitement which the father raised about the house undoubtedly hastened the boys death. In the City Court Judge Beers heard for one week, allowing the prisoner to go on his own promise to appear at that time.

Body Recoxerad.

The body of J. w. Graham, who was drowned in Snipsic lake, Rockville, July 24, was found Wednesday floating upon the sur face of the water nearly mile north of the spot where the drowning occurred. It must have been floating for day or two, and the southerly wind of Tuesday and Wednesday probably drove it, against the current, to the place where found. The body was badly de- composed, and had to be taken from the water literally in pieces If was first ob- served by half breed named White, who re- sides on the shore in that vicinity.
