Cardinal Manning and others who teach that

many man has died rather than steal n
save his life, and has chosen Death rightly

4 Valuable and Interestfng Gife To
 Admiral Foote Post By l.. l.. Bishop.
 At the regular meeting of Admiral Foots Post on Saturday evening, Col. George M. White read letter from Mir. L.L. Bishop of S1O Chapel street in this city, in which quite a notable presentation was made to the Post to be applied for the benefit of it's charity fund.
 MT. Bishop was eighty years of age yester- day, and has for several years been by feeble health, confined to his room. In 1861 when the war begun, he was @ prosperous and we'll known merchant in Chapel street near Orange street. His only son, Edwin, went to the war aa Lieutenant of Company D, if teenth Connecticut Volunteers, and was fa- tally wounded and captured ct Kinston, N, O., March 8th, 1885, and died two weeks afterward in the prison pen at Salisbury, N. o. This blow was all the more severe to the father as the war was then so near its end, and Mir. Bishop, in cherishing the memory of his son, who was as brave as the brAvest, has always entertained most kindly feeling for the veterans of the Grand Army. Dur- ing his long confinement as an invalid he has been engaged, when able, in making patch work guilt, with the intention of presenting it to the Post, tO be disposed of at some of it's charity fairs. The completed quilt was presented to the Post Saturday evening, and received with most hearty demonstrations of appreciation by all the large number of vet- erans present.
 It is . magnificent piece of work, most artiatically arranged, and eonsists of three thousand, six hundred and eighty five pieces. Arrangements were made to properly ac- knowledge the gift of Mir. Bishop, and the quilt will constitute an attractive feature of the next charity fair of Admiral Foete Post.

A LIVELY PRISONER.

Louis Helborn Leaves 0Heer Roberts
 of Meriden Tn the Lureh By Jump
 Gng Through n Car Window.
 Special Officer Roberts of the Meriden po- lice force started for New Haven Saturday with Louis Helborn, whom he had arrested the day before at the State fair, for running e ''swsat board," e gambling fake, but be- fore he got here Helborn had escaped. Hel- born was tried in Meriden's police court and fined $5 and costs, and as he could not pay his fine, he was sent to the New Haven jail. Before starting, Roberts took the prisoner to his own house and gave him a good dinner.
 The prisoner was handcuffed when he got aboard the train. Seats were taken in the smoker. The officer dropped into a doze. At North Haven Hslborn saw his chance and slid through the car window feet foremost When Roberts awoke he was dumbfounded when his fellow passengers told him what had happened.
 It seems that Helborn put his hand in the officers pocket and got the key that unlocked the handcuffs. Then he took the oficer's re- volver. He also took the mittimus commit ting him to jail. Roberts made it pretty lively in New Haven after reaching here.

An immensely solid bed of masonry had to be laid for its foundation, and one wall of the engine room had to be taken down and re- built to get 1t in. O. D. Kinney did the ma son work. The shop ran several days last week with the new power (after ten days vacation) and work goes on again now steadi- ly until Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the new 300 horse power boilers, which are being made at BigelOw & Co.'s, will be put in.

LAST NHGuT,s FIRE

1n ArnOld'S R1Ook on State State.
 About half past nine last evening an alarm of fire was sounded from box 26. The fire was in the third story of Arnold's block, at the corner of State and Crown streets. It was first discovered by E. T. Pisrpont, an employe in Arnold's stove store, in the corr ner of the building. When the 6remen arrived they found that the fire had originat- ed in and was still confined to barrel of waste. It was quickly extinguished. A large number of people were drawn to the spot in spite of the rainy night, but everything was quiet by the time that most of them arrived there. But little damage was done by the slight blaze.

 Arthur Ford, formerly clerk in Spauld- ing's drug store but now in the drug store of the late Willis Benedict, corner of Howard and Congress auenaes, was on his way to his home on Edwards street Saturday night about 10.80 o'clock when he was accosted on Congress avenue corner of Oak street by two men who demanded his money. He answer ed that he had none. After repeating their demands and meeting with the same answer they asked him if he had dollar and he said he hadn't. "You ought to be clubbed then, anyway said one of the scoundrels. They then walked of. MT. Ford expected every second, from the appearance of the men,t be knocked down, and his relief was great when he.was left to depart. There were people still passing in the locality at that hour, which probably deterred the villainoua pair from attempting violence. They need 8 couple of years each behind the iron gratings.
