A Big Scalp Wound.

Several out of town physicians, as well as the local doctors, were very much interested in the case of George A. Judson, boy nine wears old, who was run over by team on Noble street about Christmas. He received a scalp wound nearly ten and half inches 1n length, it being the largest incised scalp wound known in the medical annals of the country, and but one as large is known in the medical records of the world. Three days after the accident scarlatina set in, and this made the case 8 very difficult one. The pa- tient is now, however, recovering. g.-B'7dge- 11Ort Fn3Y31ey

The Course of True Love.

The story has been printed, having for it's moral the old adage, ''the course of true love-" viz, that Chow Chow Kan, a Chinese student recently sent from here to China, and at one time in Hopkins Grammar school, had his head chopped off at Hong Kong by the government for the crime of wishing to marry New Haven young lady of Kensing- ton street, named Sherman. Dr. s. Wells Williams, Professor of Chinese Literature at Yale and for 40 years a resident of China, said yesterday that the whole story seemed apochryphal. The beheading couldn't cer- tainly have happened in Hong Kong for that was an English province and not under Chi nese law. The locality being incorrectly given the whole story fails. It was probably invented this side of San Francisco. A short time ago it was said that one of the same students had been beheaded for mur- dering his father. That appeared reasona' hIa

Left His Home.

A fourteen-year old lad named Louis Doo- little, son of l.. E. Doolittle, who keeps the Yale Dining rooms, disappeared fronW home Saturday He has dark hair, large brown eyes, teeth Q little projecting and wore a brown coat and vest and dark pants. He wore red ribbon necktie. It appears there was some trouble with the boys throat, and his parents had seen surgeon who advised that the tonsils should be cut off little.
 The lad went with his mother to the sur geon's, and took an opportunity to walk away, since which he cannot be found. He had previously expressed his determination of not submitting to any surgical operation.
 His father had not insisted upon it, but 1t IS probable that the boy thought rather than
 have his tonsils cut he would run away and go to sea. Any information regarding him will be thankfully received by Mir. Doolittle.

Bridgeport Drowning Case.

About seven o'clock Sunday evening cries
 for help were heard by the hands of several
 vessels lying at the Naugatuck dock, and on
 going in the direction of the sounds man
 was seen struggling in the water between
 two boats. A rope was thrown him, which he grasped and held until he was drawn out
 from the water. He proved to be Captain
 John Halligan, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and was
 in command of the coal barge J. A. Hester,
 of the Game Cock line. When rescued he
 showed no signs of life, and a doctor was i'm mediately sent for, but when he arrived the
 unfortunate man was dead. A verdict of
 accidental drowning was rendered by the
 jury summoned in the case. Captain Halli-
 gan, who weighed nearly 300 pounds, was apparently about 55 years of age. The friends in Brooklyn were telegraphed to yesterday morning and the remains will be held until an answer is received. It is not known how the accident occurred, but it Is supposed that he fell overheard from the deck of his vessel, and became so wedged in between two boats that he could not swim Two bruises appeared on his face, but they were so slight as to cause no injury, and were probably received in falling.
 The Ice Crop.
 No ice has yet been harvested by the Hart
 ford ice dealers. The season is getting on to-
 wards the middle of January, and it is time for ice. But little as this weather suits our Connecticut ice dealer it causes the Maine
 dealers to smile at the prospect of a golden ice harvest. When our dealers rejoice the Kennebec ice men are blue, and 0tce 0ersG. A Hartford gentleman was in Gardiner, Me-, last week, when the thermometer there was 16 degrees below zero, and he says that the ice dealers were blue enough-the ther- mometer of their expectations being below zero. He says the ice men there had not begun to gather the crop, though the river was frozen so that teams could safely cross. Even if the Connecticut men cannot get supply of ice the Maine dealers have no fears for themselves. They are pretty sure of good ice harvest, even in an open winter; and the more open the winter the bigger price it will bring, as the demand for what there is increases.
 Two winters ago Boston parties, early an- ticipating short crop, bought up the entire Maine supply at comparatively low rates, and the dealers who had sold out had the privilege
 of seeing the prices running up without any
 chance of lingering the profits. This year
 they will be a little more cautious, and hope
 to realize something handsome if the open
 weather continues.
 good ice crop even in Connecticut. But the
 prospect, it must be admitted, begins to look
 dubious.

Suicide In AnsOnia.

Henry Tuggner, Swiss, about forty years of age, and a tinsmith by trade, who for years past has been well known Ansonia resident, being employed up to the time of death by T. P. Terry, took his own life Sunday evening. He was good workman and liked by his fellow associates. Deceased shot himself in his boarding house at about 10 p. m. A shot was heard and on entering his room the unfortunate man was found sit ting in chair in his shirt sleeves, with his head bowed on his breast. From his mouth stream of blood flowed to the floor, where lay thirty-two caliber revolver, with one of the six chambers empty. Dr. W. c. Welch found that the ball entered the brain through the roof of the mouth, death being instantan. eous. Melancholy owing to spells of drink ing and having lost the affections of his wife and children it is supposed, brought him to his sad end. The burial will probably be by Swiss organization of which he was president.

The Perils of the Deep.

Loss of the Sarah w. .Biake-The Wreck
 Bound Of Point Judith in Seventy
 Two Feet of Water--singuIar Discover
 ies.
 Yesterdays Herald says The wife of
 Captain Briggs, of the ill-fated schooner
 Sarah W. Blake, which was run into one
 week ago and sunk during a snow storm by
 the Sound steamer Newport, is slowly dying
 of consumption. She has been 10th to be- lieve that her husband would never return,
 and has cherished hope that the vessel sunk
 would not prove to be the Blake. Just be- fore her husband d's last trip she made pen
 nant to be used for the topmasthead of the vessel, which bore her name, and it was placed in position as requested. Should this
 be found and returned to her she would be
 convinced that her husband was indeed lost. The owners of the vessel, to satisfy her as
 well as themselves, requested Captain Wat CTS, diver and wrecker, of this city, to l make an examination of the vessel Accord ingly he proceeded to the scene of the wreck | to-day, and after securing the pennant made by the dying woman examined the vessel in his diving apparatus. He read the words Sarah w. Blake, of Dighton,'' on her stern
 and found her lying from Point Judith west
 by south, Green Hill bearing north by east and about six miles distant from Point Judith. She lay in seventy-two feet of water, with her head due west by compass. Her main boom was broken at the main sheet strap. The yawl boat, which was observed drifting near the wreck last week, was nowhere to be seen. The starboard davit was broken of, the one on the port being intact. The davit tackle
 was cut, this being done when an attempt
 was made to take the boat. Everything for
 ward of the foremast was carried away. Captain Waters found the starboard side light in the rigging, but saw nothing of the port light. He also found the pinnacle box and spirit compass. As there were no signs of collision aft Captain Waters is of the opinion that she was abandoned before the col lision The sails were all washed to ribbons and her pumps were broken off and lay on the deck. Some of her cargo of coal was brought ashore by the diver. No bodies were found. The schooner is total loss and
 lies in very dangerous position for passing vessels.
