Horse Thieves in Connecticut.
3.. nr.,-, xr.,,.1rE { n 4r<sTxar. I'm

A Gang Of Robbers, with Headquarters
 I'm New York, Broken Up.
 For some timepast gang of horse thieves has been operatingin this State, particularly
 tn New Haven county. Last Friday night
 Constable Fitz Roy, of Greenwich, received
 a postal card from the chief of police of Meri-
 den, calling his attention to the theft of a horse, wagon and harness in that city The
 notice gave very full description of the
 stolen property. The next morning about
 o'clock Fitz Roysaw two men driving horse
 down Pullman avenue and determined they
 were the thieves He procured a horse and
 followed them. Near Port Chester he head
 ed the supposed thieves and demanded their
 surrender One man jumped from the wagon and ran, but Officer Fitz Roy, with
 the assistance of three other men, suc-
 ceeded in securing him. An examination
 of the property showed it to be the same that was stolen at Meriden. The prisoners were arraigned before Justice Joseph E. Russell, of Greenwich, the same morning, upon the complaint of Borough Attorney Hoyt, and they pleaded not guilty. In the afternoon they were taken to Meriden. On Monday morning they were arraigned before justice and held for trial at the next term of the Su- perior Court for New Haven county.
 The prisoners gave their names as John Goodman and Joseph c. Nathan: the latter claimed to have been in business in Brook | iyn, and the former says he resided at Morrisania. Constable Fitz Roy said that the prisoners told him that there were two others | in the gang, and it has come out that their ! headquarters are on Twenty fifth and Twen- | ty sixth streets, between First and Second avenues, New York city. Their mode of operations was for two of the party to steal | the horses and take them to the State line, where they were met by the other two, who | took the horses to New York to man who | is said to keep place on Lexington avenue, where they were sold. It is thought that by the arrest of these three men the gang had been broken up. Constable Fitz Roy will receive bounty of $60, given by the State, l for the arrest of the thieves.
 On Tuesday evening Mir. Sherrer, of Five Mile River, went to Robert Point with Mir. | Samuel Ferris horse. He tied the horse, and the animal was stolen in his absence. On Wednesday morning MT. Ferris visited Stamford, and found the horse tied to a tree | on Franklin street. From the description o1 I the man who had been seen with the horse, l Sheriff Dayton came to the conclusion that l he was James B. Ryan. Ryan was arrested | in Norwalk and taken before Justice Bouton, | of Stamford, who placed him under $500 l bonds to appear for trial

The Ecumendcal Fast. ... SI.m .,..-,.ne,m,,kaks~va /,R &1na NE<

When the representatives of the Methodist bodies throughout the world adopted their programme for their great gathering in Lonr don, in September, one feature of their plan was universal fast day, which was fixed for the Friday (yesterday) preceding the first Sabbath in August. Hence in Methodist churches throughout the earth the day is sup posed be observed reIgiously. A fast was suggested in connection with the devotional exercises, but as the latter took place generally in the evening it is not likely that very much fasting was observed. In view of the large number of delegates who will leave New York to-day by the City of Ber- lin, general service was called for last evening in the old John street Methodist Episcopal church in that city-the oldest church of the denomination in America-to pray for the blessing of God upon the Ecu menical Conference; which meets in City Road chapel, London the idest Methodist church in Europe -septen 7th.

The head of the family rendered the collector 25 cents for the three fares.

ALocOmotive and a Horse.

The 9:22 8. m. train from Hartford yester day struck horse at the Wethersield cross ing. A boy was leading the animal, but did not get across soon enough. The horse was thrown, mangled but alive, into cattle guard. Conductor Tinkham stepped the train and sent for the owner, who came, but had no instruments with which to put the creature out of agony. The train waited while he returned for an axe and rope. After the horse was killed it required consid. erable strength and dexterity to haul him out of the guard. An extra freight up had to be Jagged, and the same precaution had to be taken in the case of freight that was following the passenger train.

Kelly asserts that from the waist up his body is dead. This unfortunate man has squandered hundreds of dollars in the last few weeks on doctors of various schools, and his property was dwin- ding away so alarmingly that his family were threatened with Restitution unless he was put in a safe place.

The Very Latest Test by pr. Love

To the Editor of the <5oURNAL AND COURIER:
 The contract for supplying the United States government with 75,O00 pounds of Baking Powder during the ensuing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. E. G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recommended by him for its excellence, and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means that it will make hghter bread and biscuit) than either the ss2oyGz" or any of the other cream tartar baking pow ders which he examined The samples ana lyzed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government commissioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test, its superiority is acknowl- edged, and the popular verdict so emphati- eally expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.
