Hanging by One Arm,

Mrs Charles Catlin of Harwinton has been deranged most of the time since the birth of her child, nearly three weeks ago. On Wednesday night her attendants retired leaving her ill the care of her husband She got the idea that the house was on fire and tried to get out. Mir CatHn nailed down two of the chamber windows and left the room a moment to get another nail to fasten the third one with. During his brief absence she raised this window and threw herself out, but the sash fell upon her arm and held her there, and when Mir Catin returned he found her hanging by her arm outside of the window. In the ex- citement of the movement he raised the sash and she dropped to the ground, where she was found with her right arm broken above the elbow. She is in a very precari- ous condition and the chances are against her recovery.

4 FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
But the Big Crowd Completely ParalyZed
 the Butchers Arrangements.


 The butchers barbecue is over and the largest sum realized by any entertainment for the hospital fund will undoubtedly be added to the amount already in hand. Full returns have not been given as yet to de- termine with accuracy the proceeds, but rough figuring places the amount in the thousands At o'clock last evening, be- fore the evening crowds had begun to enter the grounds, MT Zeigler, the ticket seller, estimated the gate receipts at $1 300 Over ,000 tickets had been passed through the box office, and at that time the tickets were still rapidly selling. At least 10,O00 tickets were disposed of on the grounds and by the butchers themselves prior to the day of celebration. At the refreshment stand an other large amount was realized and prob ably no city in the state can boast of q larger amount of money taken Tn one day from gate and bar receipts The privi- leges of the bar were sold to Hellman & kipp, they agreeing to furnish lager and pay the association S5 leg for every one sold. One hundred and tifty-nine kegs of the beverage scarcely sutfced to quench the thirst of the assembled multitude and figuring i'll the cigars and temperate drinks disposed of, ill the neighborhood of $1 ,000 more swells the already large surplus Looking at the barbecue financially we can see success, but in the line of observance of the arrangements-well. the least said is the better. We cannot lav too much blame on the butchers or those who had charge of the management of the affair, because even with the best of ar rangements in such a crowd of hungry and ravenous persons, any attempt at formality was not to be thought of It was utterly i'm possible for any army of butchers to with stand such an attack from every side and those who had charge of the affair should be given the credit of doing their best. The other portions of the programme than the feast were carried out successfully considering the immense crowd The two contesting ball teams labored under diff hculties for nine as discouraging innings as two mines ever contested. Time and again the crowd forced themselves onto the dia- mond and it was miraculous that no one was in niured The butchers are to be con graduated on the financial success of the venture and deserved the hearty cooper ation they received from the generous pub lie.

POISONED BY MISTAKE,
Two Lives Lost by the Carelessness of "a
 Drug Clerk.


 CRAWFORD, August 31.-Homer Bishop and Charles Applebee were poisoned to death by R. J. Latta, a drug clerk in Rob inson X Foot's store, last night The men are about 33 years old each. They stopped at the drug store for glass of soda water before driving to the shore. Through some mistake Latta placed aconite in the soda water instead of the syrup called for Both men died in Dr. Kinks office an hour after drinking the water. Latta is almost crazy and will probably be arrested. He was formerly the trusted clerk of C. S. Leete X Co and c. w. Whittlesey X Co of New Haven.
 The young men did not realize the na- ture of the stuff they had first tasted, it appears, for they at once left the store, got into their team, and continued on their way to Indian Neck. About as soon as they arrived the poison began to have some effect and the young men began to feel very cold They finally grew so sick that they became frightened and drove back to Branford with all haste. going to Dr Zink < office, just across the way from the store where they had drunk the poison.

has been nominated for President Her platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being a potent factor. She demands as starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and think they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger X Co possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors. Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbours goods, thereby proving Shon- ingers popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water, Tippecanoe- and-Tyler-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success.
