BURGLARS.

They Attempt To Enter The Thacher
 Residence On Crown Street And A. B
 Halls Drug Store On West Chapel
 Street.
 About o'clock yesterday morning word was received at police headquarters that burglars were in the house of the late Profess or Thacher at 255 Crown street. The patrol wagon was dispatched to the residence with Officers Cowles and Selleck, and when they arrived at the house two of Professor Thach- CTS sons stood near the stairs, one with a base ball club in hand and the other holding re- volver waiting for the thieves. The officers searched the house from top to bottom, but no burglars were to be found and no win dows or doors had been tempered with. Young Mr. Thacher had thought he heard man going down stairs and he had pulled on his underclothes and hastened to the New Haven House where the message was sent to police headquarters.
 A second attempt was made to rob the drug store kept by A. B. Hall on the corner of Howe and Chapel streets last Saturday night about 12 o'clock The burglar broke 8 hole in the glass door at the Howe street en- trance to the store and was frightened off by the approach of Officer Selleck and took refuge in back yard near the store. MT. W. T. Northrop and his wife had seen the burglar and were watching him as he took the glass out, every once and while drop ping into the shadow of the store to avoid passers by, but they made no attempt to catch the thief. When they saw the officer, however, they shouted at him, telling him where the man was, and the latter becoming ran into Howe street, and started towards Martin street. The officer gave chase, but the thief turned up Martin street and disappeared.

DOUBLE TRACKS.
The Bridgeport Railroad Accident
 Another of the Injured.

The Bridgeport Railroad Accident
 Another of the Injured.
 Coroner Holt, of Bridgeport, was summon ed to Danbury yesterday and consequently will not render his inquest finding until today Another of the injured st the accident turn ed up yesterday-Patrick Toohey of Al Wal lace street, Bridgeport. He is confined to his bed unable to move on account of his bruises. The muscles about the chest are badly injured, and one thigh is bruised black and blue, and his knee and ankle are wrenched. He has not eaten since the acoi- dent, but Dr. Kelly, his physician, thinks he will pull through if pneumonia does not de- velop. MT. Toohey says that he and Kenne- dy were sitting close together on the first car of the gravel train at the time the crash oc- cured. One of them had just asked the other for paper of tobacco. After that all was blank, and when Toohey recovered con- sciousness he found himself in the office of the National Hotel on Water street surround ed by women, who were pouring stimulants down his. throat. His first question was, stWhat has happenedg' Toohey was one of the first men removed from the wreck, and John Evarts, the boss of the raising gang to which he belonged, put him in hack and sent him home.
 The Standard says: A member of the Board of Public Works gives it as his opin- ion that the recent fatal accident on the sin gle track of the New York and New Haven road will result in the transfer of all the companys tracks from the city property on Water street. President Barnum of the Housatcn1c road is willing to furnish sufi- cient ground for the establishment of double tracks all along the above street. The Board of Public Works will probably make no re- port to the common council in the matter un- til they can report something more definite than has been done for many years in this matter. It is generally believed that the double tracks will soon be laid.

THE CASE OF MIR. mELIUs.
The Struggle For a Livelihood When Pursued By The Typographical
 

Fufsue0 Hy Ane AyPO$EaPn1cA1 Union.
 [From Yesterdays Registerl To the Editor of the Register:
 A large number of your readers-in fact greater portion of the patrons of any news paper of reputation in this city or in New England-are entirely ignorant of the inner workings of Typographical union, which is generally controlled by the more turbulent element of it's members. To the better class, therefore, we think few words, by way of explanation, necessary that the very plausi- ble communication signed by "Union Prin- ter" may not give an erroneous impression.
 In the first place, your article saying the Melius family were impoverished by the boy colt correct, notwithstanding any denial from the union. MT. Melius was turned out from the News office to make room for others, who were not superior, if, indeed, his equal in ability. He then applied and was given work in job office, but as this became known 8 committee waited upon his employ CT aud informed him that if he gave Melius work his office would be boycotted, unless he could obtain permission from the union to do so. Then Melius threatened 8 suit against the union. The affair was settled by giving him permit to work in the job of fees of the city.
 With such dogged persistence was this man pursued that, he has said, his landlord was notified that if he rented his house to Melius he must suffer the consequence; he was obliged to move. Therefore, to a cer- tain extent, these boycotters are accountable for the calamity which has befallen him so recently.
 Mir. Melius has not had constant employ ment since becoming union man; in fact it has been difficult matter for him to obtain sufficient work to provide his family with the necessaries of life, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
 This statement is not made to give "the under dog kick" as this correspondent ayers, but is from one who knows the cir cumstances and who is

THE LATE COZ. WRIGHT.

Action of tho New Haven County Bar
 Association-ResOIu Adopted i'm
 Honor Of His memory-Eulogies by
 Judge Harrison and State Attorney
 Doolittle.
 Colonel Dexter R. Wright died yesterday morning at 5;15 o'clock surrounded by the sorrowing and bereaved family The news of his death causes sincere regret among a wide circle of friends in the State and espe- cially in our city, where he for twenty years a citizen. The deceased leaves wife, two sons, Paul Wright of Chicago and Arthur B. Wright of this city, and two daughters, one residing at home, the other married and re- siding in New York city.
 A meeting of the New Haven County Bar association was held in the Superior court room yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock to take suitable action in regard to the death of Col onel Dexter R. Wright. There was large attendance of attorneys, many of the more prominent ones in the city being present. State's Attorney Hilton E. Doolittle presided After the association had been called to or der ex-Judge Lynde Harrison presented the following:
 Resolved, That the members of the bar of New Haven have received with profound sorrow the in for forty V, has been conspiouou sly associated with that bar in honorable and faithful practice, have characterized his professional life now leaves a memory to be esteemed and cherished by
 Resolved, That as token of our regard for his memory this bar will attend the funeral of the de-
 Resolved, That the Supreme court be requested to cause statement of these proeee9ngs to be en- of the deceased,
 Ex-Judge Harrison in speaking to the res olutions said: In presenting these resolutions it is difficult to add anything in simple lan- guage so much be said of Dexter R. Wright. While student here in New Haven l remember seeing Colonel Dexter R. Wright then in the full pride of his manhood, in the old Superior court room in the State House. He was man of very commanding appearance and extremely courteous in man. ner. As a young man l was deeply i'm pressed with him. A few years later had the pleasure of meeting him and associating with him in the legislature and found him then as before. During the thirty years I was associated with him I never heard es- cape from his lips single impatient or angry word. l could have had no closer relations with father or brother than I had with Dexter R. Wright. During all this time I had ample opportunity of observing his in dustry and I fear that it was for that indus try that he has left us soon. He was a man of strong physique and never faltering courage. I think, sir, am not saying what l might not say If he were here with us. He had no superior as an urbane and courteous brother of our profession. He was slow to anger, but quick and ready to forgive and forget.
 State Attorney Doolittle followed MT. liar rlson in eulogistic words of the life and char acter of the deceased, and referred to the kind relations that had always existed be- tween himself and Colonel Wright.
