A LUCKY DISCOVERY.

Officer DOnegan Discovers Flames Just
 En Time to Save Blg Fire i'm Harmon
 dC FOy's Corset FactOry-The Loss
 About $1 ,OOO-COvered by Insurance.
 fire broke out last night shortly after six o'clock in Harmon & Foy's corset manufac- tory, corner of Church and George streets, on the floor over Chidsey's grocery store. The damage it was estimated by Gen. Har- mon last evening would amount to about $1 ,000, which is covered by insurance in John G. & John c. Nerth's agency.
 It was about twenty minutes after six o'clock when Officer Donegan saw flames in the second story fronting Church street. He was standing on the opposite side of Church street. He rushed across and with Officer Bissell broke open the street door which led up stairs, while Officer Collett made haste to strike the fire alarm.
 When Officers Donegan and Bissell reached the top of the stairs they were obliged to break open another door to get into the room where the flames were making headway. The officers could hardly endure the heat and were finally driven out. Officer Donegan caught up several hand grenades and threw them on the fire. They seemed to subdue the flames and when the officers left the fire seemingly had been extinguished.
 By the time the fire department arrived, however, the flames broke out again. There seemed to be more smoke than fire. The damage done by the flames did not amount to much, the greater damage being done by smoke and water. A good deal of the ma terials for making corsets was damaged, and many of the corsets were partially spoiled by the smoke. The shop at the time Officer Donegau discovered the fire was closed for the night and but for his timely discovery of it there would undoubtedly have been a big fire. The fire caught from the heating ap- paratus. But little damage was done to the building by the flames. L. D. Chidsey, the groceryman directly underneath the corset factory, escaped with but little damage to his stock little water ran through into Morris Lynch's saloon

LsoKs LIKE MURDER.

one of the Four Mem Found Injured
 Under the East Street Bridge Dies at
 the HOSpHtal-The Coroner Envest1.
 gating the Cause of His Death-The
 Men Supposed to Have Been Engaged
 in a Fight They Bear Stab
 Wounds.
 The police were kept busy yesterday in fer reting out the cause of the supposed accident which 90 nearly caused the death of four men under the East street bridge Monday at about midnight. It was given out that the men were struck by a freight train, but the au- -thorities now believe that the quartette en- gagged in general melee. All four were alive when found, but one, and the youngest,
 died at about seven o'clock yesterday morn- ing. He did not regain consciousness for 8 moment from the time when he was picked up until he breathed his last. This man was unknown even to his companions. He was only between seventeen and eighteen years old. It is thought that he came from Hart ford. Thomas Costello who has resided in the lower portion of the city, gives the best account of what happened. He says himself and companions visited various saloons dur ing Monday evening and that there was 8 fight under the bridge. According to his SJOIy 1WO ACAAOWs CdLAc lOT uliu W1I0 knlSSS and stabbed him about the head after knock ing him down and kicking him. He yelled
 murder and police. He don't remember how
 many fellows were in the fight, but he didn't
 believe that it was any of his companions who did it. He says that he thought they were fighting for each other
 McMullen's story was less connected, and when questioned by Detective Reilly said he remembered hardly anything.
 The affair is shrouded in mystery, but the
 police and hospital authorities last night were of the opinion that the four men had become intoxicated and either engaged in a quarrel among themselves, or were set upon by some other hard characters. All the in- juries that the young men received might
 have been inflicted by kicks and knife. It is also thought likely that Burke was thrown from the bridge and he crawled to the spot
 where found. Railroad mon say that it is
 not at all probable they were stealing ride,
 as the positions in which they were lying
 when found would not corroborate such g
 thought.
 Deputy Coroner Walter Pond spent the en-
 tire day in investigating the affair.

The Well Known Dry Goods Firm of
 Bolton & Nicely To Be DIssolved-
 The Business To Be Carried On
 Solely By MT. William Nicely.
 While it is notNnstomary to make public 8
 contemplated dissolution of business firm
 there being many unforeseen causes that may
 change the movements and minds of the in
 terested parties, there is little doubt but what
 the well known and popular dry goods firm
 of Messrs. Bolton & Nicely will be dissolved within short time, and the story having already been more or less made public, true statement of the case may as well be made.
 The reliable facts in the case are as fol- lows: The firm of Bolton 6 Nicely is not dis solved; the firm name still floats at the head of the establishment so famous for miles around as great dry goods center But change in the firm has been mutually agreed upon, the arrangements being that MT. Bol- ton will withdraw and Mir. Nicely solely con- tinue the business. The partnership expires by limitation in August next, and whether the firm will be dissolved now or at that time is question which is to be decided be- tween the gentlemen who compose the firm, and which will be decided or not by them as they may see ft That question remains open for the present at least Meanwhile the firms business continues without inter- ruption or jar. The terms of separation l before the time specified for the dissolution of the partnership are matter of financial consideration. The firm has made a most ! enviable record for success and business en- | terprise, and Mir. Bolton has a large circle of | friends who will regret to lose him from this city, while MT. Nicely has also large circle of friends who will rejoice to hear that he | remains, and with his business ability and popularity the house cannot but continue in
 its career of prosperity.
 VALUABLE WATER FRONT. An Important Purchase by Senator Graham i'm West Haven-The Water Front te be Notably Improved. Senator Graham of West Haven, proprie- ! tor of the we'll known brass foundry on Wooster street in this city and vice president of the New Haven Blackboard and Carriage company, has just bought about four or five hundred feet of the most valuable water front of West Haven near the city. It is be- ! tween Kimberly avenue and Elm street, 8 little below the Kimberly avenue bridge, and was purchased-one hundred and eighty feet of MT. Burlock and about four hundred feet \ of MT. Smith. The property fronts on the
 main highway through which the West
 Haven horse cars pass. It is the intention of Senator Graham as learned in an interview | with that gentleman yesterday to develop X this water front which touches the channel | where there is the deepest water obtainable ' in that section. Near by is the Henry Sut- | ton shipyard where 1,500 ton vessels are launched and where the keel IS now laid for an l 800 ton vessel. Mir. Graham will make valuable wharf room on the property pur- | chased.

To FOSTER SHEEP RAIsING-The farm
ers OF our country have no stronger friend
than Col. VIM. Ii. S. Burgwyn, of Hender-
son. He is ever on the alert to promote
some measure looking to the betterment of
the agricultural classes. At the late
Farmers Convention in Raleigh, among
other things lie introduced a resolution
recommending the fostering of sheep hus-
blndry and recommending laws to fine and
imprison persons for keeping dogs which
had ever killed sheep. This resolution
provoked long and spirited debate.
Mr.. Taylor, of Virginia. thought the res
olution interfered with the rights and lib
critics of the people and was of an oppress-
i've nature.
Ool' Burgwyn made a strong speech in
support of the resolution. He said that it
was substantially the same as contained in
lhe Code OF North Carolina. He believed
the resolution was right and not oppressive
ana he wanted to see the South have the
mahlinesS to take the initiative in the
matter.
MI Bird, of North Carolina. favored
the resolution.
MI LeGrand, Of North Carolina. hoped
II would be laid on the table.
capt. ). B. Alexander stated that if this
oooy did not take action on the matter the
FARMERS Alliance of North Carolina

Inc resolution as it stood was then pass
ed, and is as follows:
Hes0tced: That this Convention recon-
u n!end to the Legislators of these Southern
states that laws be enacted to protect and
encourage the sheep industry in the fol-
lowing respect, to-wit: to reimburse the
owners OF sheep for those killed by dogs.

derfully clever, John Thompson is phe-

could fill any comedians place with some
success more or less, probably more but
what comedian could fill his place-try to
think Of one. His face has the imprint of
momus. His dialect is as natural as his
mother tongue. His dancing is original,
at times he is loose and slippery like an
eel. His comic singing is comic singing.
His musical accomplishments are natural
gifts He has more fun in him to the
square inch than any half dozen come
dams we have ever seen. In fact he is the
great, the original, the only John Thomp-
son.
