FAIR HAVEN.
Death of Captain Merritt Farren- A Novel Sort of ThieviRg-0thsr


 A Novel Sort of ThievtRg-0ther Notes.
 Captain Merritt Farren of Center street, who has been i'll for many months, died last evening at o'clock. Captain Farren's death was caused by debility induced by old age. He was S1 years and 4 months old. al though he looked much younger. Captain Farren was born in Fair Haven, his folks coming originally from East Haven. He for many years engaged in a seafaring occupation, having been master of vessels running from this place to Virginia. He was brother to Deacon John Farren and to Captain William Farren. He leaves two sons, Roswell Farren and Willis Farren, the latter of Providence, R. l., and one daugh- ter, Mrs. Sherman Russell. His sons are en- gagged in the rolling spring bed business. Captain Farren had numerous friends in this place and in Baltimore who will sincerely mourn his loss. He was numerously known and respected The funeral will probably 5ake place Wednesday afternoon.
 A novel sort of thieving has been going on of late in Fair Haven. Several families have found their milk pails gone in the morning and almost worthless one substituted. One family on Perkins street left brand new and valuable tin pail on the doorstep the other night and in the morning found that it had been removed in the night by someone, and rusty pail worth about two cents left in its place. As there have been several instances of the kind repeated, it would seem though someone would be making business of stealing milk pails.
 Officers Mack and Doody are out in 8 state ment to the effect that the story of tramp outrages printed in Q morning paper last Sat urday is without foundation. Officer Mack states that he called on the family in Lan- crafts long building whom it was alleged a burglary had been attempted, and he found the family very much surprised at the story printed, as they knew nothing whatever of the alleged occurrence. Officer Mack wishes it known that the Annex is not overrun with tramps as the story would indicate.
 The next meeting of the Y. w. c. T. U. will be social gathering at the home of Miss Jennie Merrow, Al Clinton avenue, and will be held next Thursday evening, March IS. All members of the union are especially requested to attend as business of importance will be transacted.

How a Prominent Contractor Was Rescued From a Terrible Fate-NTar. velous Effects of Magnetism.

There is no diseased action SO terrible as one that derives person of the power to assist themselves. One may have an ache or pain, or be crippled in some one part or portion of the body, and still be able to get around and wait upon themselves, but when every joint i'll the body becomes sore and painful, and every muscle SO sensitive that one cannot even bear to be touched or have a person walk across the floor, they just begin to realize what it is that makes person willing to give up the beauties and pleasures of this earth and wish for death.
 Such was the condition of MT. M A. Nash, who resides at Fort Edward. For the past ten years Mir. Nash has been martyr to rheumatism; at times he would be helpless and at other times he would be able to be about and attend to business; his joints would become very much swollen and so sore and painful that he could not bear to have them touched, and to move was impossible; he could scarcely bear to have the bed clothes press them, and every muscle in the body seemed to be sore and paintul from five to eight weeks at a time he would have an interavl of comparative rest, but each attack would leave it's mark, and MT. Nash gradually became worse. Last December he applied to Dr. Henion, the magnetic physician at 109 Orange street. New Haven, and he has cured him, so that he walks without pain; the soreness has all disappeared and the joints become limber MT. Nash is 8 prominent contractor and bridge builder, and is we'll known through this portion of the State, and may be re- ferred to-. Dr. Henion consults free of charge from Q. m. to 6 p. m.
