Tl,e rsfrd Had FIown.

Attorney William B. Stoddard, represent ing several business men of New York and Utica, was instructed to recover about $6,- 900 in claims from the private banking firm of T. O. Granniss & Go. of Utica, N. Y, which failed some six weeks ago leaving S. 50 for the assignee. George o. Curtiss, uncle of George W. Miles, who is at the head of the Milford fish oil works, was a member of the company and left Utica soon after the failure. The New Haven lawyer got on his track, satisfied that he could collect the $6,- 900. as he had information which led him to believe that Curtiss had twice that amount
 Curtiss was, after weeks watch on ths part of the attorney, located in Milford at the res idence of his nephew. The attorney sent Deputy Sheriff Spiegel, of this city, down last Saturday to arrest him and the officer found his man. The room where the officer met his prisoner was cold and Curtiss asked for permission to go into an inner room where there was a fire while waiting for his bondsman to appear. This was granted and Curtiss returned frequently into the scold apartment. Finally he failed to return from She stove and the sheriff found on investiga- tion that the bird had flown. A covered carriage was driven up to the house and Cur tiss was carried to the depot. MT. Stoddard thinks he has left the State. He has not been seen since,

 The oyster steamer Hoyt Brothers came out victorious in an exciting race on the Sound with the steamer J. P. Thomas yester- day morning. Captain Stephen H. Reed of the Hoyt Brothers and Captain Thomas Thomas of the J. P. Thomas had employed new engineers for their steamers in anticipa- ton of the race yesterday. At 8 a. m. yes terday the steamers met at the head of the beach. They saluted, and then began one of the most exciting races of the kind seen on the Sound in a number of years. Both steamers engines are of the same size, but the boiler of the J. P. Thomas is somewhat larger than the Hoyt Brothers boiler. Both boats remained about even until they reached Savin Rock buoy, when the Hoyt Brothers forged ahead and won the race by two boats length.
 The Hoyt Brothers has been endeavoring to bring on a with the Thomas since that boat was launched last spring. It is said that the Hoyt Brothers has beaten every oyster steamer that it has ever raced with.

The necessity of keeping the burial lots in Evergreen csmetery in good condition, as it adds so much to the beauty of the place, is very apparent to everyone. A mere nomi- nal sum from lot owners will secure this worH daue in frst-class manner and it would seem that ne eas would hesitate in se- curing to the last resting place of loved oass so desirable a result. Orders left with B. R. English, secretary, or Superintendent H. B. Dorman will receive prompt attention.

 Police Commissioner Bollman is not alarm ed because he voted with the Republican members of the Board for the adoption of the new rules which just now are agitating and interesting the police force, and for that matter does not think that three members of the force will be rejected as the result of the physical examination of the men. The com missioners certainly object to getting rid of any man who is competent officer The present arrangement would prevent any mans being accepted on the force who is un- able to read and write. One such incompe- tent man got on to the force while ago, but he was quietly allowed to resign and nothing was heard about it. Mr. Bollman thinks he is as good a Democrat as ever if he did vote for the new rules.

He is a good singer and can initiate a trombone, cello, a dog and parrot with equal casa. His stage appearance is of the very best and his humor is so natural that h5 seems to enjoy amusing his audience almost as well as they enjoy his wonderful mimicry. We are sorry he did not have an overhowing house-he certainly de- served it.

Get the Best.

Borazel, the true remedy for cold in the head and chronic nasal catarrh, can be found at the principal drug stores. It is prepared with great care and does not spoil in any climate. Its delightful balsanic odor re- freshes rather than disgusts those who use it. If the druggist to whom you apply can not furnish this agreeable and most effective preparation seek one who can rather than be persuaded to buy something upon which the druggist may make more money, but which will leave bad taste in your mouth for 8 long time afterwards. Every day we hear expressions of satisfaction from those who, after having tried and proved the insuff. ciency of certain so-called sure cures, have been speedily benefited by Borazel. To g sufferer bottle is worth many times it's cost
