Frederick P. Conway Cuts a Fearful Cash fin His Throat and ResIstS all
 Attempts to Sew 1t Up.
 Frederick P. Conway, Ngsd 26, and resid- ing with his father at 85 Frank street, made savage attempt to commit suicide yester- day morning about o'clock by cutting his throat with his fathers razor. He made 6 gash nearly four inches long and nearly an inch deep. The windpipe was severed and the jugular vein cut Blood was flowing pro- fusely when he came from his room to the room where his stepmother was sitting. She was mortified at the sight and immediately called her daughter who was at a neighbor- ing house. The young man made no at tempt to communicate with anyone, but walked about trying to hold the wound to- gether. Drs. Lambert and Bartlett were summoned. When Dr. Lambert arrived he found Conway pacing up and down in the rear of the house clutching his neck vicious ly with both hands, but demonstratfve to- ward anybody who approached. Word had been sent to the central police office and soon the ambulance with four policemen arrived. The doctor and the police after long strug- gle succeeded in taking him up stairs. It took twelve men to hold him while the doc tor was putting in few stitches. He was then taken to the hospital.
 The cause of the young mans desperate deed seems to have been despondency. He had not been working much of late and was sickly and melancholy.
 Last evening at o'clock Conway was do- ing as well as could bG expected and it was expected that he would at least live through the night. He was delirious and very weak, but had recovered from the shock and if he dies it will be from complications that arise hereafter

 Enter.
 The boat races at the Cove for young ladies last Saturday night were very enjoyable, but several of the boys who are stopping at the Cove feel somewhat sighted because they were not given chance to display their abilities with the oar. Accordingly MT. c. S. Barkentin, proprietor of the Cove House, has offered silver medal to the boy under fourteen years of age who will row a mile in the shortest time. The medal is a fine large one, made by the Meriden Silver Plate Co., All entries must be handed to Mir. Barkentin by Tuesday evening. The race will be rowed at o'clock next Wednes- day afternoon. After the race there will be the usual weekly hop. There is considerable interest in the race among the people at the Cove, and several small boys are already i'll training for the event.

The Two Kreeft Boys.

Since the first publication in the Water bury American of the case of the two Kreeft boys, who were found in that city and told a horrible story of their abuse at home at Har- winton, there have been denials of the accu- racy of the statement. In Wednesdays American there is long letter from liar winton lady, who says she knows all about the case and that there was cruelty, though she admits the boys were whipped with Ca light leather strap, cut in strips at one end. , Commenting on this the American says:
 l. Reference to the authorities here shows that such cases should be attended to by the city where the boys are found if they are not called for and taken back, as these were not. In reply to a query Agent D. W. Thra1l of the State Humane society writes as follows concerning the confirmation of the story as published by the American as coming from the boys:
 EtI visited Harwinton and the home of Harry Kreeft July 21. Kreeft was not at home. His wife, the stepmother of the boys, substantiated the story told by them before Judge Cole except the claim that the father placed the marks upon them, and she took off from a nail strap slit on one end that was used to infict that and other punish ments, remarking that MT. Kreeft did not whip half enough. have reason to believe that the children did receive cruel treatment from the mother, from whipping and from not being allowed sufficient amount of food. MT. Kreeft visited our office soon after ward, and by the interview we were convinced that the boys were often punished without his knowledge. We as- sisted him on his way after receiving the promise that there should be no more cruel corporeal punishment in his family and that the youngest boy, aged seven years, suffering from physical weakness, should be carefully and kindly treated, instead of frequently punished, as was the case A few days ago visited the boys at the Tyler City Home and found a marked improvement in their gene ral appearance and MT. Pinney, the superin- tendent, said they were good boys.

The Bulls 1n PoyVer-They Hold Prices Firm and Mark Them Up at Wfll- Good Market With Values Irregu- lar at the Finish


 As on the several preceding days the course of prices to-day was governed almost entirely by the bull cliques who continued to sustain prices and mark them up at will. This morning the market was weak during the first fifteen minutes of busi- ness and the trunk shares quite freely sold on dispatches from Chicago reporting cutting of pas senger rates by some of the trunk lines. Prices, however, gave way only fractionay and the sellers becoming alarmed the comparative strength of the market ceased ther unloading and began to buy. The bull cliques also sent in number of supporting orders and soon had prices the upward turn The clique on the Union Pacific was especially bold in their manipulations and by noon succeeded in forcing advance in the stock of 25s per cent. Western Union, Lackawanna and Louisville and Nashville also figured prominently in the rise, mak- ing the next greatest advances. Shortly after mid day the best figures of the morning were touched, and aside from Union Pacific the list showed an improvement of N to 1H. From 12:SO up to o'clock the market was dull and feverish, but the tone was weaker and prices reacted 1s to IS per cent, the latter in Lacka wanna In the last hour the market strengthened again and prices recovered part of the decline, but the close weak and the final prices showed ir- closing.

New Britain's New Catholic ChureI

New Britafn's New Catholic Church.
 The plans for the new Roman Catholic church in New Britain are out. It is not yet decided whether the church will be built ot brick or Portland stone, but whichever ma terial is adopted the plan shows a more i'm posing edifcs than any in town, although Father Terney says that the cost would not De so high as that of the South Congrega- tional church in the town, which was $751; 900. One reason of the lesser cost will be owing to the size of the proposed church The dressing of the stone, if that material be adopted, will be rougher. The plans have been carefully drawn, to the minutest detail, on sheets of fine parchment, 4Sx36 inches. P. c. Keeley, of Brooklyn, is the architect, and he has built over six hundred churches, including the cathedrals in Chicago, Boston, Providence, Hartford, Erie, Buffalo and other cities.
 This church is pure gothic in style, will be 100xS0 in the auditorium, will seat ], ,5OO, be lighted by il double windows with circu- lar top window over each, on each side of the church, and by an ornamented circular win dow on either end of the church 30 feet in di- ameter. The entire length of the church will be IFS feet, width 90 feet and height S5 feet, with five wide entrance doors reached by an ascent of eight stone steps from the pave ment ground. The height of tower over all will be 200 feet, including the large cross proportioned in size. This tower will be constructed on the southeast front corner and will rise to the height of about 165 feet in various designs before the spire proper is added. This spire then will be about 30 odd feet tall. The clock dials will be about 120 feet high and readily seen from all directions The bell tower will be 110 feet high. A chime of bells and grand organ are among the fu- ture probabilities.
 The length of the building will be relieved by several buttresses four feet out, and orna- mental arrangements in the roofing. While all will be constructed in massive style, yet there is far more ornamentation than any other church here. Nothing definite can be said in reference to the time of completion, for no contracts are yet awarded; but it will be four or five years. The church, of course, is built with reference to future needs, but we think before many years it will be made quate to the needs of the Catholic people of the place. The church when completed will form commanding feature on North Main street, and be great addition to that rapidly growing section of our city.

 Death ofWjrs CargiIF. s.
 The continued investigation by Coroner Bollman regarding the circumstances con nected with the dea tn of James A. Cargin, who was killed by falling from an upper story in the hospital, leads that officer to be- ieve that it was probably a case of suicide. From what has been learned, it appears that the deceased had been in the habit of using morphine daily ard that within day or two of his death he had not been using his custo- mary quantity. That the man was some times little out of his mind is also estab- lished The coroner is inclined to think that neither the nurse nor any other of the hospital attaches are chargeable with crimi- nal negligence i1 the case.
