Parsons of this city will be the exhibition of complete set of the marvellous automata invented and built by the famous mechanician and magician, M. Robert Houdin of Paris. These won derful creations of mechanical skill and ingenuity have never before been seen in the city. This one attraction alone will be worth the price of admission.

ESCAPED DEATH.
Terrible Experience of Connecticut PeopIe-One of the Survivors Arrives In Meriden.

Terrible Experience of Connecticut
 People-One of the Survivors Arrives
 In Merfden.
 Steve Tredennick arrived in Meriden Sun day morning, accompanied by his cousin, Emma, one of the survivors of the horrible calamity st Johnstown. MT. T. went to Johnstown and found his sister clothed in rags, all her clothing having been torn to rags in the flood. He found that all his rel- atives there were saved, except one brother, Eddie, aged 19, who was swept away. He found his relatives quartered with friends, but with no clothing, except what they had on that fatal day. They owned their very pleasant home, free from encumbrance, and it was swept away and demolished by fire at the railroad bridge. A demolished skating rink stands on the spot where once their hap py home was.
 Miss Emma's account of the fearful disas- ter is thus given in yesterdays Mer1den he- publican: "The house became flooded, put nobody expected that anything more than flood would come. The family retreated to the second floor of the house. Suddenly it was lifted from it's foundation by great wave, and all who were at home fled to the roof One of the boys was in a house two or three doors away, and another was at the Y. M. 0. A. rooms. The former was saved, but the latter perished.
 Once on the roof young joiner who was with them told them what the strongest part of the house was. They all huddled together on that corner, and let their bodies down into the water hanging on by the caves troughs.
 The house struck another one and turned over as the joiner surmised, leaving the fami- ly on top. Just as the house was going into the heavy current toward the bridge, all jumped to a sort of platform of wreckage, and walked over that to the river bank, then across more wreckage and on to safe ground. They went to @ house on 'sDutch hill and fifteen huddled together in one room. There were fifty in one house of four rooms.
 Next day everybody went out searching. The body of the son and brother was found under piece of paper, on which friends had written his name. The brother who found him carried him some distance and washed the body The poor boy was given Chris- tian burial in the family lot on the hill- side.
 The male members of the family will re- main in Johnstown helping to dig out the city. ''The others will probably come to this city later. They are of course in a terribly nervous condition"

FELL FROm THE FOURTH STORY.

Hugh Brady, a Printer, Fell From the
 Fourth story Window of KIis Board-
 ing House Last NIRht-His Injuries.
 A good deal of excitement was caused about Il o'clock last night at Olive and Court street and passer by was attracted to the little grass plot in front of Mrs. Whist lers boarding house by the Rroans of some- one evidently in pain, and there discovered Hugh Brady lying partially undressed upon the ground.
 Mrs. Whistler was notified and several of her boarders bore the injured man into the house.
 Brady had fallen from the fourth story window. He had luckily escaped landing upon the stone pavements which were under his window and had struck upon the sward. The only injury that was apparent was g broken wrist, but he was in constant pain, semi-unconscious, and it was feared that he was internally injured. He was taken to the hospital.
 Mrs. Whistler, with whom Brady boarded, said that he had been very intemperate for several days. She had told him the day be- fore that he would have to vacate his room unless he was more careful in his habits. She watched for him when he came in last night and thought he was sober. It was eyi- dent, however, when he was found that he had been drinking.
 Brsdy's roommate, A. G. Furness, said he was wholly unaware of what was going on. Brady had come in, undressed himself and either jumped or fallen from the window while Furness was apparently soundly sleep ing all the time.
 Annie Brady, a sister of the wounded man. boarded in the house next to the one where her brother roomed. She WAS very much startled when she beheld her brother in his partially delirious condition. Brady wes g printer on the Union and had boarded at Mrs. Whistler's for about three weeks. He had been very unsteady during this time. If was said by some last night that he had tried to commit suicide while intoxicated, and others said that he must have tumbled out of the window. It was a terrible fall and will be a very fortunate escape if he lives.
