Another Exhibition to be Given To-
 Morrow Evening.
 At the special meeting of the board of fire commissioners held this morning to take some action in regard to the ac- ceptance of the new hook and ladder truck there were present the mayor and the full board. At the suggestion of Mayor Boughton the board adjourned and with MT Jenkins of the Preston Truck company paid a visit to No 2's house where the truck is placed. After looking the machine over. the board returned to the City hall. It was suggested that test be given again and MT Jenklns thought that as the fire department was volunteer one in the evening about 6:30 would be very suit able time to make the test. The board voted to try the machine at that time and selected City hall and near the sol olers monument as the place to give the exhibition. They then adiourned to meet at o'clock tomorrow evening.

DEATH OF FATHER HARDING.
One or the Oldest Priests in the
 Diocese of unrt ford

One of the Oldest Priests in the
 Diocese of Hartford.
 Rev James H. Harding, chaplain of the St Francis orphan asylum, New Ha- ven, died at the asylum Saturday morn ing about o'clock, after an illness of about six months. Funeral services were held in St Mary's church at ten o'clock this morning. Father Harding was elghty-one years of age and had been chaplain of the asylum for twelve years. He was at one time chaplain of the jail, and was chancellor of the dio- cese under Bishop Mcfarland
 Father Harding was worth consider able money at one time, but he lost most of 1t i'll an attempt to establish a Roman Catholic protectory for wayward boys. About ten years ago he purchased site upon the Fair Haven heights and began to build a brown stone edifice. Before 1t even approached completion hls funds gave out, and his expectations ot outside assistance not being realized, work on the building had to be suspend ed. Father Harding is reported to have sunk from S50,000 to $75,O0O in this en- terprlse. The ''protectory," as it is still called. still remains partially completed. an object of curiosity to strangers visit ing the heights. In it are to be seen specimens of carving wrought by the reverend father himself.

THE MERCHANTS BANK TROUBLE.
Weaving n Network of Evidence Around the WOuld-Be WreckerS.


 The present trouble in which the Mer- chants national bank of New Haven is involved recalls to mind the compara- lively recent financial sensations:in other Connecticut cities. The public will re- member the facts in connection with the arrest and conviction of Webb, Meech and Roath, the embedding officials of the Shetucket national bank of Norwich, and the exposure and flight to Canada of Bartholomew of Hartford Of the Nor wich men, Roath escaped with the light est penalty because his crime consisted in allowing himself to be used as tool, but even he passed term in the state prison.
 John E. Bassett of the hardware firm of John K. Bassett & Go. and D. c. Pratt of New Haven, the president of the Pratt Crayon company of New York, ap- pear from the revelations up to date to have been the principal beneficiaries by Bradley and Palmer's betrayal of the confidence reposed in them. All who are connected with the case continue reti- cent to a degree that makes it impossible for outsiders to become acquainted with the exact details. No one will venture to state what amount of paper bearing the signatures of Bassett and Pratt was accepted by either Bradley or Palmer or how much still remains in the bank s possession. Neither will any of the Merchants bank people disclose what methods were adopted in the conduct and concealment of the irregularities practiced by the cashier and assista mt teller It is certain, however, that Bas- sett presented notes and drafts at the bank which were accepted and cashed without security being given or the di- rectors of the bank being notified.
 Drafts on II. c. Pratt and notes of Pratt's endorsed by Bassett and aggre- gating large amounts have been thus honored. Bassett is said to have obtain ed $50 ,000 from the bank of which not a cent of principal or interest is accounted for. Pratt is alleged to have drawn S76,- 900 on his notes. At first it was thought that he had got into the bank for only SIS 1000, but an additional bundle aggre- gating S5S, ,000 turned up Saturday. Ac- these figures it would appear that the bank beld at least S125, 900 of paper belonging to the Bassett-Pratt How much of this is good cannot yet be determined but it is feared but little of it will be realized. The Pratt paper is thought to be abso- lutely worthless and how much of Bassett's can be taken up will depend on the value of his business and the equity of his mortgaged real estate. There is no doubt that there was pledged un- between Pratt and Bassett. Pratt's business is located in New York and he attended to the New York end of the route while Bassett took care of the New Haven end. In this way their paper was kept floating back and forth.

RC Bf1uScDOft.
 Gideon r. Lewis was struck by the fast express from New York at the Penn broke crossing in Bridgeport Saturday evening at S:3O. He stepped upon the main track to avoid freight coming in upon siding. The engineer saw the man standing on the track and stopped his train as soon as possible, but it was too late. The cowcatcher caught him, tossed him to one side and when the train hands went back to pick him up he was dead. Death was instanta- neOus.
 It was only a few hours after that when another body, or pieces of a body, were picked up at Park avenue, Bridge port. When the shore line express for New York left Bridgeport yesterday morning the engineer saw what appeared to be bundle of old cloths near the Park avenue bridge. AS the locomotive approached the bundle the engineer, Raymond Smith, saw that it was the body of a man and called for brakes. It was too late, though, the engine had struck the bundle and thrown it one side. The train was stopped and rear brakeman, William Murphy, was sent back to pick up the body. He found part of the head and trunk, a portion of a coat. an arm and a shoe with severed foot enclosed. The body has not been identified and is supposed to be that of a tramD
