A YOUNG MANS mIsDRED.

Harry Bailey, Assistant Bookkeeper
for Moses Seward g. sons, Steals $500
In valuables From the Company's
Safe.
Harry Bailey, young man of nineteen
years, who has been assistant bookkeeper at
Moses Seward & Sons carriage and hardware
mandatory on Bristol street, was arrested
yesterday for taking $3.50 In money and the
same amount in iewelry from the safe of his
employers.
When the head bookkeeper, Alderman
Prince, arrived at the Office yesterday Bailey
told him that he had found the safe open and
that somebody had robbed it. Chief Boil
man was notified and he with Detectives
Reilly and Brewer began an investigation.
Suspicion pointed to Bailey, as the safe bore
no signs of having been tempered with and
neither doors nor windows had been forced
open. The chief and Detective Reilly went
to Bailey's home on State street near Grove
and there found, in searching his room. two
packages containing $53 and $3.50 in
stamps. Bailey was brought to the
police station and questioned. He stoutly
denied having more money than the $1.62
found upon his person. When confronted
with the money and stamps found by the
officers the young man completely broke
down. He confessed everything. He said
that he noticed the bookkeeper did not look
the safe when he left the night before. Be-
ing in need of money, he came back during
the night, opened the money drawer and
took away the valuables. He had concealed
them.i various places and most of them
were recovered yesterday afternoon. The
young man is under arrest. He lived with
his father and mother who are greatly
shocked at the affair

An Aged Colered Man Dies Suddenly
OF Rheumasism OF she Heart.
George Francis, colored man about 60
years old, was found dead shortly before
noon yesterday at his home, 20Winter street,
by Mrs. Hope, who lives on the opposite side
Of the street. He was lying on the floor of
the kitchen between the lounge and the
stove, face downward. The old man called
on the Hope family the night before and also
purchased some berries at a neighboring
grocery. He had been suffering severely
with rheumatism for some time and had been
incapacitated OF times from attending to his
employment at the rubber factory. The
rheumatism doubtless went to the heart and
the man dropped dead. Mrs. Hope missed
the old gentleman, and as he had lived alone
of late she thought she would ascertain if
anything had happened to him. She stepped
across the street and looking into the front
window saw his dead body lying on the floor
of the kitchen. The police were informed
and Driver Deran proceeded in the patrol
wagon to the house. Soon afterward Officer
Bergin arrived. DR.. White was informed
and investigated the case. Acting Coroner
Pond took possession of the old mans effects
and locked up the house yesterday afternoon,
The body was taken to Lewis &c Maycocks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Francis had had some disa-
Rreement and did not live together. Francis
mad several children, one of them daugh-
ter, living in Mount Vernon. The old man
owned the house he occupied. He ia said to
have been three times married.

The electric car was successfully charged
Thursday night and at 8 o'clock yesterday

| up the hill to College street and then out te
York where it was switched back onto the

Dynamic company, George D. Watrous,
counsel tor the former, s. Harrison Wagner,
counsel for the latter, Operator Washburn, a
Hartford electrician, and his assistant, Mr..

car company, Deputy Sheriff Catlin and
Constable William II. Monson. The car
started easily and ran smoothly along the
track.
Ii attracted the attention of all the people
on the street and was accompanied down
Chapel street by a crowd of street gamins.
The car gracefully rounded the corner into
State street and hurried away toward Grand
avenue.
On tina Grand avenue hill the car stopped,
but getting another start bowled away to-
ward Fair Haven at lively pace. At the
GAINESVILLE bridge the car ran off the track
| and once more left the rails before it reached
| the barn, but each time succeeded in getting
back by its own power.
The car was run, not as test of its power,

batteries were giving out and the car was
slowly but surely on the way toward a state
of dilapidstion and degeneration. The attor.
neys of the opposing case came together and
| decided that for the preservation of the dis
puted property 1t was necessary to charge the
batteries and set the machinery in working

this state of affairs, gave permission for the

sJuly 18.-There is likely to be some trou-
BILE at the next town election with the new
secret ballot law, owing to the fact that the
town voted some time ago to have the polls
open only from a. M, to 8 p. m. Az
there are 1000 registered voters here and but
one voting district matters will have to be
lively to give all chance, for with the
eleven booths required but 220 men can vote
in one hour, allowing each the full three
minute limit. This would allow 1900. to
cast ballots If every ninute was occupied;
but our voters have acquired the habit of
casting their ballots at about noon, as many
as 1000 having been frequently deposited
in one hour and twenty minutes. OF course
this work cannot occur under the new law,
people are beginning to wonder how provi-
sions will be made to give all chance. The
only remedy seems to be special town
meeting to extend the time of keeping the
polls open to o'clock p. m.

their families, are spending several weeks at

they were only experimenting. They kept on ex.
permentlng for over ten months, but instead of
getting better tho child got worse, and l did not
know what course to pursue. My wife took her,
after we had maid oil we could afford for medical
some twenty or thirty doctors assembled, but the
ease haned them OIL My wife had to 20 every day
and sometimes twice day. In fact, the medicine
they gave my child did not have time to act, even
by orders of the DOCTORS The latter part OF jan
uary, after everything had failed and patience and
money were both exhausted, made up nv mind to
quit oil doctoring and try the Cutcura Remedies.
l did so, and now can say that my daughter Ia
cured-aound In health and WE'LL to the surprise OF
hundreds.
