The Old Park House.

Nearly DEsappeared-The New Struc-
 ture fn the Rear Ready for the
 Roof.
 Many of our citizens have stopped to mo- tice the demolition of the old Park House, on the site of which MT. MalIey will soon have new store erected, The old building will very soon be among the things that were. MT. l.. V. Treat, the mason builder, is rushing things in accordance with instructions. He is to get the new building ready for occupation by May 1st. Although small portion of the build ing yet remains, 80 feet of the new store the rear part-is so far done as to be ready for the roof. The contract calls for a store 163 feet deep by 20. wide. The part con- pleted is 8Ox2O feet. Clark & Brown are the joiners.
 The old Park House was built about one hundred years ago, and for two generations was residence of the better class. In 1787 it became the residence of Jonathan IDgersoll, grandfather of Governor Charles R. and Hon. Colin M. IngersolI, and father of the late Hon, Ralph l. Ingersol. Jonathan Ingersoll was 8 Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut. Under this roof dwelt Hon. Ralph I. Ingersoll du- ring many years The Ingersolls resided there for thirty or forty years. As is well known to many residents of to-day, the Park House has for very many years been public house, kept in later years by Root $ Downs, after ward by Downs, later by Durant S Buell. and lastly by Mr Durant.

 letter has been received from an Opelousas, La., doctor, complaining that he sent fifty four cents to A. B. Coe & Co.,, of North Ha, ven, for $9 dictionary, and that he has re- ceived no book. He desires to have the mat ter looked up. The young man who conduct ed the business was tried before United States Commissioner Platt some time since on con- plaint of special agents of the Postofice de- partment, and discharged.
 G. F. Davenport was recognized yesterday morning by s. G. Pease as person who had attempted to pass bogus check on him for twenty dollars last Saturday. The check had the name of Professor Loomis, of Yale Col lege, forged to it, and bore bogus endorse ment of MT. Curtiss, of the City Bank. Dav- enport was arrested and locked up, but as he did not have the check in his possession it is doubtful whether anything can be brought against him unless there should be some new evidence. He claims to belong in New York. We are informed that the man who came from Orange on Sunday to buy suit of clothes and was arrested was not drunk, but little ssout of his head" He had not, it is said, used his money to buy drink with.

Instant Death by a Fall.

Henry Az Phelps Falls From a Roof
 and Breaks His Neck-Verdict of the
 COrOner's Jury.
 Yesterday morning Henry A. Phelps, a
 mason by trade and who lived at No. 20
 Washington street, went to No. 47 Washing
 ton street to repair chimney on Edward McOabe's house. After a short talk with Mir. McOabe, he went away to get some
 boards to make platform around the chim. ney and also to procure mortar with which to relay the brick. He returned about o'clock and went up to the roof, taking the boards and pail of mortar with him. On leaving the
 attic he stepped on to the l. part, and it is supposed that in trying to climb from there to the main roof, he in some way lost his balance and fell to the ground, 8 distance of twenty-five feet. The fall broke his neck and death was almost instantaneous. No one saw him fall but Mrs. McCabe, and
 her daughter hearing the noise from the fall of the mortar pail ran into the yard and found MT. Phelps lying there quite dead. A jury of
 inquest was summoned by acting Coroner Hugh Daley, and after hearing the evidence
 returned verdict of accidental death. MT. Phelps, who is 8 brother of A. W. Phelps, was born in Hebron, Holland
 county, in 1908. and was consequently in
 his seventy second year. His father was a
 
 Mir. Phelps went to Hartford and learned his
 trade, that of stone mason, coming to New
 Haven in 1880, and he has resided in this city
 ever since, working constantly at his trade. He was an expert in the construction of sta gings, and as such his services, when younger, were in constant demand. The deceased leaves wife and two children, his son Charles
 being in the employ of H. B. Olafiin & Oo., New York city, and his daughter Carrie Ade- laide, the Well-known singer, in Paris, France. where she is receiving musical education. His only other child, Henry E., was graduated in Yale in 1852, and died in Jersey City. The funeral will be attended from his late resi- dence on Wednesday afternoon.

Rarn on Fire i'm William s1raot

Last evening at about sevenS o'clock one story frame barn, used for storage, in the rear of the residence of Rsv. Dr. Suffer- pas tor of the Wooster Square Baptist church, on William street, was discovered to be on fire. Box 5 was struck by MT. James B. Hood, re- siding next door. The firemen soon extin- guished the flames, but the interior of the building and the roof were badly burned There was little inside of any value. The pastor was away ct his church study conduct ing an inquiry meeting, and had but just re- turned from delivering lecture at New Lon don, and was not aware that his house had been in danger. The building was kept locked, and the origin of the fire is mystery but it is supposed it might have originated from spark from a passing locomotive, the building being close to the cut where the cars pass through. The premises are the property of Mir. Augustus R. Treadway, long engaged in the stove business on State street, and now in business and residing in Cleveland, Ohio. The loss is about $2OO. Insured. The street in the vicinity of the fire was filled with la- dies, neighbors in the vicinity, and with throngs of people from afar, making quite an unusual scene on William street.
