Captain James Flaherty's Rash Act

Captain James Flaherty's Rash Act
 A Sad Case-No Hope For His Re.
 cOvery.
 Captain James Flaherty of 235 Davenport avenue, the popular and we'll known danc- ing prompter. late Saturday afternoon shot himself twice in the abdomen, infiicting wounds from which he cannot recover. MT. Flaherty appeared in good spirits during the day and went out shopping with his wife in the morning. About half-past five o'clock he told his wife he was going out for short walk and would return in time for supper He started up Davenport avenue towards the West river bridge, and upon reaching the bridge stopped and for fully ten minutes stood looking down in the water apparently in deep thought, while at intervals his hand would move around towards his hip pocket, as if he intended to draw a revolver. Then he would put his hands back on the bridge rail empty. He soon turned his face to- wards the city and after moments hesita- tion pulled revolver from his pocket and shot himself twice, and then putting the pistol back in his pocket started on run towards his home, but soon settled down to a walk, being weakened from the loss of blood. When he reached his house ne was unable to ascend the front steps and so went down the cellar steps and sank down on the floor faint from loss of blood. There he was found by his wife few moments later. Aid was sum- moned and Captain Flaherty removed to his bed where Dr. r. o. White and Surgeon Bis sell attended him. The only cause for the act is said to be because Captain Flaherty feared he was losing his sight and the conse- quent worry of mind. The only witness to the act was a small boy who was near the bridge at the time and upon seeing Flaherty shoot himself he ran home and told the neighbors about it, who at once hasten ed to the Iatter's house where all was excite ment and confusion. Captain Fiaherty was born in this city and for msny years has been dancing promoter here. He has wife and five children living and sister who has been employed as domestic at the house of the English family on Academy street. MT. Flaherty procured his pistol, which was 8 five shot thirty-two calibre revolver, from James Quinn, who keeps q saloon on the corner of George and Meadow streets, Satur- day afternoon, telling the latter that he want ed it to shoot cats with, and as 1t was not loaded Quinn loaded 1t for Flaherty.
 At late hour last night Flaherty was alive but sinking rapidly.

PRESENT AND PAST.


A Pleasant Recognition of Useful-
 ness-At Davenport Church.
 After the close of,the Sunday school ses- sion yesterday of the Davenport Congrega- tional church, MT. F. Brown was elected to fill the vacancy of assistant superintendent caused by the resignation of Mir. w. H. Stowe, who soon opens school in the upper part of ths city. The following resolution was unanimously adopted and received the signatures of all the officers and teachers of the school:
 Major w. H. Stowe having announced that it will be necessary for him to sever his off cial connection with the Davenport Sunday school, we, the officers and teachers of the school, desire to unite in m expression of the pleasure and profit resulting from our asso- ciation with him during the past few years, first as teacher of the young mems class and during the latter period as assistant superin- tendent.
 We have enjoyed the work together and especially do we appreciate the manly Chris tian character and devoted earnestness which he has lent to our aid. And our prayer is that his relations in the future may be as pleasant as they have been here with us, and that the blessings of God may rest upon him in this work

An Earnest and Worthy Endeavor
 -The Young Japanese student
 Whose Case Is Interesting Many.
 Mr. Shinkichi Shigemi, the young Japanese student in whose education many of our cit izens have interested themselves, returned to this city on Saturday evening. During the summer he has been working for his board on farm in Ryegate, Vermont. It will be remembered that MT. Shigemi came to this country last December, having in his posses sion letters of introduction to some of the college faculty and other friends of education in Japan and a diploma from the Kisoto training school. He expressed his intention of entering the Sheffield Scientific school, by some means or other, this autumn and said that with the exception of Latin he was pre- pared in every study required at the entrance examination of that institution.
 Sufficient money was raised to pay for his board, and Shigemi at once went to work to review all his studies and to make up his de- fciency in Latin, which language is not taught at Kisoto. He underwent the exam ination last June in very credltable man ner and he is now prepared to go on With the freshman class next Thursday. It IS cer- tain that if he is enabled to complete his ed ucaLlOu uS Cst1LOb tO Do Ol oOA fASO HI oAiO English training schools established by mis- sionaries in his native land. His command of our language, his untiring industry and desire to learn endear him to those who know how much he is sacrificing to get an educa- tion. He has proved himself to be just what his letters of introduction represented him gifted, earnest and persevering young man and a convert to Christianity
 What MT. Shigemi now needs is sufficient money to defray his bills for board and tui- ton during the coming winter. The course in the Scientific school, especially during the freshman year, is so difficult that during term time he will be unable to earn much money. During the Christmas vaca- ton, as during the past summer, he will no doubt find work. It is desired that during this week the friends to education and Chris tianity contribute enough money to ena- ble Shigemi to pursue his studies until Christmas. He came to this country trusting that the same people who have sent so many missionaries to Japan will help him to an ed ucation now that he is here. He has omitted no opportunity to work and as it requires comparatively little to support him it is hoped that that little will be given cheer fully and promptly.

ARREST OF LAWYER ANDREWS.
He Is Charged With cmbezz1ement- Confident That HIS Acts Will Be Vfndfcaled.

He IS Chafged with lCHn HnDeZZlement-
 Confident That HIS Acts Will Be
 VindicaGed.
 About o'clock on Saturday morning At torney s. w. F. Andrews was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Konold on warrant issued by City Attorney Cable charging him with the embezzlement of $4O0 from Edward F. Bishop of the firm of Palmer & Bishop, blacksmiths on George street. It appears that MT. Andrews had frequently borrowed sums of money from MT. Bishop, and on one occasion gave NIT. Bishop as security note Jacobs had given Andrews in part payment for some mortgaged and foreclosed property which MT. Jacobs had bought from Mr. An drews' mother. During the latter part of last January Andrews called on MT. Bishop, saying that Mir. Jacobs wanted to pay the note, and if he would let him have it he would collect the money and pay it right over to him (Bishop) The note was given to him, but the money or any portion of it was never returned to MT. Bishop. In all Mir. Andrews owes MT. Bishop $1,015, for which the latter holds as security a note for $900 purporting to have been given by the mother of Mir. Andrews.
 on Saturday Mir. Andrews asked for con- tinuance until October saying that he could not be ready before that time. There was no objection on the part of the State and Judge Deming continued the case and fixed the bond at $500. Leander F. Richmond at once furnished it.
 It was stated yesterday that MT. Andrews will, through his counsel, ex-Judge Blyden- burgh, make application to-day to the New Haven County Bar association to have his case investigated He feels confident that he will be vindicated by that body.

Ringing Addresses by Different Clergy.
 men-An Interesting Meeting.
 A united FCentennial" temperance service was held last evening at the First Baptist church in which the congregations of the Davenport church and the St. John street M. E. church united with the people of the church where the services were held. The preachers platform was beautifully adorned with very large bouquets of handsome flow CTS. Rev. w. H. Butrick extended vel come to the members of the other chuIches and introduced in behalfof the temperance re- form Rev. MT. Wyatt ot the St. John street NJ. E. church, who made the first address.
 Mr. Wyatt stated that there were four great moral forces which represented the pillars of the temperance cause; an open bible, an untrammeled pulpit, a Christian Sabbath and religious press. The liquor power bitterly antagonizes all these forces. Every minister of the gospel knows what foe this is to his work.
 E'We have drifted along during the last one hundred years without any definite mode of attacking the curse of intemperance. The speaker advocated total abstinence and pro- hibition and announced that as his platform Temperance and intemperanoe stand facing each other to-day for a deadly battle. In temperance is armed with money and with the influence of the liquor dealers Temper ance is armed with the aid of the churches and with prohibition.
 ''In regard to what has been gained during the last century's work in this cause, we have got liquor out of the churches. Some of our large States have constitutional pro- hibition laws and there are four million total abstinence men in the United States We are closing one hundred years work for tenn perance and let us ask Gods help in the cause"
 Rev. I. c. Meserve of the Davenport church, who was next introduced, stated that we were in the midst of the temperance struggle and must face it. FtThere is a tax payers movement inaugurated. One way to lower taxes is to close the saloons Labor and capital are sometimes antagonistic in Atead of harmonious If liquor could be abolished the price of labor would be in- creased and other wonderfully good results would follow. Strong drink is not a food, but may be beneficial as a stimulant. Let me make one or two suggestions regarding helping the tenn erance cause. Help the drunkard-get any man out of the gutter by any means. God bless the temperance socie- ties for what they arc doing. Another method of aiding the work is to instill into the mind of each boy and girl the strongest temper ance principles by example, by influence and by teaching. Let there be temperance books in the schools and let someone write temperance books that shall be to the cause of temperance what Uncle Toms Cabin was to slavery Let us work and hope in Almighty God"
 In closing the services Rev. W. H. But1ick made short address advocating restrictive measures and such an unusual agitation of the subject of temperance that all prominent men would join in the cause.
