Brought For the Possession or
 

Brought For the Possession Of Child.
 Norwalk is excited over an abduction case
 AnseI Clark, & dealer in mason's materials and one of the most prominent business men of Norwalk, has brought a suit for 5000 against Henry J. Welden, the head of the dry goods firm of Welden, Stark & Galleher, of that city, and two others, for the spiriting away of his grandchild, beautiful young girl of sixteen years. He has placed the case in the hands of Attorney s. s. Thresher, and
 now proposes to bring 8 suit of habeas
 corpus to find out where the child is. Vel den is a Catholic and Clark is a Protestant. The girl in question is the daughter of MT. Clark's son Edwin, who married an Irish lady who is relative of MT. Welden. Miss Clark has been brought up much of the time in the family of her grandfather until few years ago when she was allowed to golnto the hands of the Welden. family. Soon after ward she could not be found.
 The mother became frantic. She searched unnecessarily for her daughter for months, and at length discovered that she was at Hazardville, near Hartford. Thlther she went and, finding her child, proceeded with her to Norwich. At the station she was met by friends of Welden, who demanded that
 she give the child up to them. war ot words ensued, and the frightened girl threw her arms about her mothers neck and re- fused to be separated from her. A pol1ce- man took the whole party in hack to Po- lice Captain Grant. Mrs. Clark said the girl was hers and the girl was given to her Re gently three men entered the girls bed chamber and when she had prepared herself they took her away. The family did not know of her disappearance till the next day.
 Public sympathy is with the frantic mother.

NEW YoRK SaDt .

NEW YORK, Sept. 5
 With the exception of New York Central and Jer sey Central the whole list steadily advanced during the morning by supporting cliques on very light transactions and by midday showed improvements ranging from 14 to 1sS. The two stocks named were weak and declined sharply in the early trading New York Central was depressed on selling both for London and home account. This selling was at tributed to the announcement of the reduction of the rate of dividend and reports that the company was not now earning enough to pay even the re tion of West Shore. Jersey Central was raided down on the continued circulation of unfavorable reports regarding the coal trade and in regard to the financial arrangements between it and Reading under the lease of the former by the latter. The reports'in regard to Jersey Central were subse- quently denied and by noon it had recovered most of the decline. New York Central also recovered partially. During the afternoon the market was more active and with the exception of few trifiing reactions prices steadily advanced throughout the latter half of the day, the closing figures being about the best made. Of the active stocks Burling ton and Quincy, the Northwestern, Union Pacific, Lackawanna, Rock Island, St. Paul common, and Wabash made the greatest advances The special ties were dull.

 The Derby Transcript prints the following account of Birmingham man who seems to deserve the publicity given his eccentrici- ties. Johnny Maher is a resident of Spring street and one of the most, if not the most, industrious citizens in these parts. His hu- foaIity has gained for him the admiration of his neighbors and the respect of people in general, but, like everything else, he has his 6eculiarities, some of which are not appreci- ated and more are condemned. For instance, he can do without sleep longer than any man in town, and of course such being causes a oood deal of annoyance to those who wish to re- main in the land of dreams longer than him aeif s.ii- H He e is not, as some would have it, a "noctambulist'' or a a'tnoctivagant, "but per son who does most of his work during noe turnal hours.
