The Milford Chronicle yesterday bod the
following graphic account: A car arrived
on Monday containing % as wild ponies as
ever came from Texas. There was not one
OF them that hsd ever known even how q
halter felt over their heads. The car was
unloaded at the depot, and followed the
lead horse in drove through the
main streets Of our town on their way
to the Dorsey Farm, mile cast OF the
town. When within hundred yards Of
Simpsons phosphate factory, the pony in
the lead turned off the road and ran into
four.wire barbed fence. The whole drove
followed like sheep. and went pell-meli
heels over head into the fence. Nearly all
escaped severe injury. but two Of them
were terribly lacerated One became
tangled in the deadly wire. and it re-
auired the combined efforts OF a half
dozen men to release her. The flesh on the
right fors-leg. from the shoulder nearly to
the knees was completely torn away, leav-
Ing the bone exposed without particle Of
flesh upon It. After two hsurs she was
lassoed and the wound dressed. The
arteries and leaders were all severed and
the blood spurted from them in streams a
foot away. Three hours afterwards
she gave birth to mule colt, and Ia three
more hours she was dead. The second
one that was so terribly injured swan the
MIspillion river and was lassoed and
caught, but while the twitch was being put
upon her, abe twisted around as only a
Texas pony can, and kicked the veterinary
surgeon down, and at the same time bit the
hand OF the man manipulating the twitch
and broke loose. Twenty minutes after
she again attempted to jump the second
barbed wire fence and got tangled in it..
She was terribly cut up and will proba-
hly die

Talks on the TarlG.

The New York Press tariff talk to-
day is taken from letter written by
a Mr.. j. Mitchell of Bradford, England,
to, and published in, the Bradford
Observer. Mr.. Mitchell has some
things to say to English free traders
which it behooves American free
traders to stop and ponder over:
"In spite of all the theories Of our
free traders, we have before us the
undoubted fact that those nations who
have adopted the principle of employ
ing their own people have OF late years
been far more prosperous than we
have, although we have had many ad-
vantages in the shape of establishing
connection, abundant capital, cheap
coal, etc. Twill make this plain to your
readers by impartial evidence. Mr..
Bourne, who IS free trader, and who
is also a member of the London Sta
tistical Society, the members of which
pride themselves about the correctness
Of their figures, compiled statement
showing the exports and imports of all
the leading countries, showing the an.
nual figures from 1872 to 1884, He di-
vides Europe into three parts-north-
ern, central and southern--and / give
you herewith his figures for these three
divisions and tho United States, in
millions, leaving out the decimals,
which is sufficient for the illustration.
II should be remembered that if guam,
titles were taken instead Of values the
increase would be much greater, but
that applies TO our country as well; al
any rate it is a fair comparison.

INIpORTs.

"These figures place in very clear
light the course of business in various
countries, and Englishmen will do
well TO ponder over them and try to
learn the true lesson which they teach.
Much more can be said on this ques-
tion, but this may be enough for the
present.

Her services Appreciated.

It Is seldom that q teacher receives such convincing proof of the fact that her ser vices have been appreciated, and that they have not only won the hearts and good Will of their pupils, but parents as well, as did Miss Anna Claffey, teacher in the East Gaylord school, at the meeting of the board of education last evening. Miss Clatfey having asked to be transferred from the above school, a petition was pre- sented to the board, signed by almost every resident of the East Gaylord school sub-dlstrict, asking that she be assigned to the schools. But as the school population has greatly increased in the eastern section of the city it has become necessary to have more accommodation, and consequently another room will be opened in the Dublin street school building, to which Miss Clatfey has been assigned, as in the opin- ion of the board new room with new scholars require the services of an expert enced teacher.

His disappointment was great on finding the son and family had moved to Albany few days before. As he WAS a non resident his application to the Bridgeport uuthori- ties was not successful. Tuesday he re- sumed his weary tramp, passing through Trumbull en route for Albany.

pRonABLE CAUSE FOUND.
"Tip" Mcdonald Must Answer to q
 Charge of Grand Larceny.

"I1p " McDonatd Must Answer to n
 Charge of Grand Larceny.
 Thomas Mcdonald, the all-around pugil- ist and crook, ," who was arrested in Naugatuck Monday for assault, and on the close of his trial was rearrested on charge of grand larceny from the person of Matthew Shalvey, wasbound over under S1 ,000 Bonds this morning and was taken to New Haven jail to await the opening of the Superior court on the third Tuesday in November. Matthew Shalvey testified that Sunday evening he met Mcdonald and they both partook of few 'social bowls. !" Not being drinking man the liquor got the best of him and he lost his head He had in his inside vest pocket $365 and in another pocket a revolver. The last he remembers was on Meadow street. Me Donald was then steering him towards the empty lot in the rear of the watch factory. When he came to his senses a few hours afterwards he was minus his money and revolver. Officer Dodds testified to seeing Mcdonald walking in the direc- tion of the above named place, and after ward to seeing him in Brooklyn in a car riage. Thomas Weston, hostler at Halls stable, testified that about S:30 Sunday evening as he was passing in the rear of the watch shop he saw Mcdonald stepping over Shalvey, who was lying on the ground. Mcdonald rose and showing a revolver in his face demanded to know who he was.
 Deputy Sheriff Sweeney of Naugatuck testified to McDonald's flashing money at Naugatuck He also told the denomination of the bills. Shalvey said that when he missed the money he said nothing, think ing he would meet Mcdonald and all would be right. The money was part of the insurance on his mothers life. Me Donald did not make any statement and the judge found a good case against him and bound him over. McDUnald's bond now amounts to $1 600.
 It was learned this morning that Me Donald hired the team from Frank Smith and took tke hostler along to drive him out of town. He told MT Smith that his father was going to forfeit the $500 bond and had given him money to get away with. While they were driving to Nauga- tuck the horse was not going fast enough for Mcdonald and he put his revolver to the hostler's ear and told him to drive faster or die. The hostler prudently drove faster. He waited until Mcdonald lowered his revolver and then drew a big self cooking bulldog revolver from his own pocket and thrusting it into McDonald's face ordered him to hold up his hands. Mcdonald did so with great neatness and dispatch and the hostler drove the horse according to his own ideas the remainder of the way.
