THE DEAC0N,S RUNA WAY.

From time immemorial it has been said that ministers sons and deacons' daughters are spirited and need watch ing, but who would suppose that a deacon's 2O-year-old horse would be full of ginger" nevertheless Deacon Stevens horse surprised the natives last Monday afternoon by rushing wild ly through the town and attempting to board rapidly moving freight train.
 It appears that the deacon started to plow his garden, which is surrounded by wire netting fence. He removed 8 portion of the fence and was rolling it up when the horse became frighten- ed at the roll of netting, and "away he flew like down on the thistle" taking the wagon with him, up Main street, through Railroad street and Watson s lane, down Prospect street to Main street, and then endeavored to cross the Housatonic track ahead of the approaching freight train, but the engi- neer put on steam and reached the crossing first. The horse dashed against freight car and broke one of the wagon shafts, then turning he rushed up Main street again, through Elm and High streets and continued his flight to the sexton's house at the lower corner. Here he was captured, but did not need to be buried, for he was uninjured excepting scratch on his nose.
 Quite number of people had mar row escapes from being run over by him. He nearly overlook Jay A. Underwood in a narrow place in the road and Jay had to run his horse some distance before he could turn out and let the runaway pass. The incident created quite sensation and people anxiously enquire, " If g deacon's horse will conduct himself in this manner what must we expect from other horses ?"

4 COINCIDENT.

Hon William H. Barnum was in active business more than 50 years and nearly as long in politics. Over 40 years ago he was first elected to the legislature in this state. For the last 25 years he has been prominent fac tor in national politics. Thus for one- half century he has been identified with the business interests of this nation and for a quarter of century with it's political affairs. In view of these facts it seems like 8 remarkable coincidence that MT Barnum's life ended simultane. ously with the close of the first century of this republic. His work was finished, and at o'clock on the morning o1 April 30 his spirit took its flight while the church bells were tolling the knel of the first century of this republic.

4 SINCERE TRIBUTE
TO MIR. BARNUM's MEMORY.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
 OF CANAAN. CONN.

The committee of the Citizens Associa- : ton of Canaan, Conn consisting of Hon M. T. Granger, Rev Hiram Eddy, D. D., Col J. B. Hardenbergh, Hon A. T. Roraback and MT D. l.. Peirce, at a meeting held May 4th, 1889, pres ented the following resolutions, which were adopted by unanimous vote.
 E H. P. TRACY, Secretary.
 Resolued, That the death of Hon. William H. Barnum has caused deep sorrow throughout this community i; and although he was not 8 resident among us, yet he has been so many years and so closely connected with the business interests of this town, that we feel it would pot be inappropriate in us to add this simple tribute to his memory.
 MT Barnum was no ordinary man. He belonged by nature to class of men who achieve success and make their mark in the world, by inherent strength and force of character-some in one field, some Tn another-some in busi- ness, some in the forum and some on the field of battle-but all, in greater or less degree, by rare combination of happy faculties-quick perception, prompt decision, energetic action, indomitable courage and unfinching tenacity of purpose. A-.
 MT Barnum commenced. life with but few advantages of education or wealth, but by his own energy, industry and business tact, he built up vast busi- ness of productive industry, which helped to develop the resources of the country, added to it's wealth and afforded employment to hundreds of men. It was not his nature to be idle or inactive. He abhorred rust The frivolous pleasures of the world had no attraction for him. The few hours of leisure he could snatch from a busy life he preferred to enjoy in his quiet home, in the bosom of his family. The amount of work he accomplished seemed at times almost maryelous. He might have retired long ago from the cares and perplexities of an extended and exacting business, but he preferred to wear the harness to the last, and 1t was thus that he received the final summons.
 Resolued, That this Association, in behalf of the citizens of this village, tender their heartfelt sympathy to the family of the deceased in their great bereavement.
 Resoloed. That copy of the forego- ing resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased, and also that a copy be furnished for publication in the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS.

VISITING COPPER KING.
j. b. Haggin of the Anaconda Pays Butte
q Brief Visit.

j. b. Hagg1n of the Anaconda Pays Butte
Brief Visit.
n. B. Haggin, OF the Anaconda company.
arrived in the city yesterday morning on
special train over the Utah & Northern.
The private car, Anaconda" was sent
East some time ago and in this he made
the journey. The private car OF V. G.
Bogue, chief engineer of the Union Pacific,
was also attached to the train, Mr.. Bogue
accompanying Mr.. Haggin to this city.
Marcus DAILY was another of the party.
The train arrived at 9:2O and Immediately
after it's arrival the party went up the hill
and examined the Anaconda properties.
In the afternoon, accompanied by Superin.
tsndent Law, of the Montana Union, they
left for Anaconda.
Repeated efforts were made by q MINER
representative to obtain an interview with
the copper king but in this he was un.
successful as Mr.. Haggin was not to be seen
for during his brief stay in the city he was
constantly on the move from one point to
another.
While given out that the principal object
of Mr.. Haggin's visit was to consult with
Mr.. DAILY relative to the company's gigan-
tic properties in this city, it is also under
stood that the proposed improvements OF
the Montana Union we're not altogether
disassociated with his visit; in fact, it may
be taken for certainty that such was the
case, the presence of Mr.. Bogue being
strong proof in that direction.
Prevalent belief is that it is the inten-
tion of the Union Pacific to complete the
contemplated improvements OF tho Mon
tana Union regardless of what the Northern
Pacific may do in the premises, in order to
satisfy the Anaconda, for it was by express
agreement that the work should be done
that the latter abandoned construction oi
it's private line between the mines and
smelters.
