THE NEwrowN BURGLARS.

Bridgeport Officers Looking for
 Reward-O'Donnell Says the Miss
 ing Man Was the Ringleader of the
 Gang.
 The Bridgeport police would like to secure a portion of that $500 reward promised to the Waterbury officers who arrested the four Newtown burglars, and yesterday Officer Anderson arrested tough looking customer, giving the name of John Gilson, on suspicion of being the fifth of the gang, who made his escape. The News says:
 ''He answered the description of the missing one, and his actions about the court house during the trial of the sup posed confederates are enough to con- vince the police that he is the man wanted. Conductor Spencer upon whose train the burglars went to Newtown, has identified him by his clothing. A cor rect description of Gilson's dress was given by MT Spencer without seeing him. When first arrested Gilson gave different name, and it is suspected that the one he has assumed now is fictitious.
 He acknowledges he is crook but | says he does not want his parents, who are respectable, to know of his arrest. Gilson has been hanging about the town for several days past and was noticed particularly by Officer Arnold who saw l him at the depot several times. His | head was done up in a bandage and it is supposed that he tried to conceal his lden- l tity in this way, though he has small | boil on the side of his face. He seems to l take his artest good naturedly and jokes and laughs with those who talk with him."
 When searched New York pawn | ticket bearing the name of J. Murry was found on his person. The ticket calls for gold ring.
 | Michael O'Donnell, one of the four men sentenced yesterday. produced a letter frem a prominent merchant of Omaha, Neb, where he formerly lived, which speaks of him as steady young man. ODonnell is the most intelligent of the gang With touch of sorrow in his voice the young man remarked :
 Now it's all over, l will say that we are going to do three years for another man. I have been caught and now l must take my medicine, but when l get out again I shall live honestly" The prisoners shook hands with the Water bury officers who arrested them, before
 being taken back to jail.
 A special from Bridgeport this after noon states that GilsOn was taken to | Newtown yesterday afternoon and fully identified as the other burglar. He had a hearing this morning and was bound over to the next term of the superior court. He was ta ken to the Bridgeport | jail this afternoon.

Clothing of British ClerEymcn.

Can anything more absurd and less i'm pressive be imagined than the hat, clothes and boots worn by the British clergymen who throng to London in May? A nondescript seedy hat, generally of the wideawake description, long coat cut like sack, pair of baggy trousers, very much "knee'd," huge pair of square toed bulgy boots and a gingham umbrella make up costume which is at once grotesque and disreput- able. The old fashioned clergyman used at least to dress like gentleman, and the Roman Catholic priest has peculiar and unmistakable style of his own. l quite fail to see, therefore, why the modern curate should array himself like cross between a broken down under taker and cafe waiter out of york; Labouchere in London Truth.

The Snakes Charm.

gentleman from Iowa says that one day while going through his poultry yard he noticed turkey hen with neck stretched to the utmost, eyes distended and wings slightly raised, gazing most ntently upon some object on the ground three or four feet from where 1t stood. Watching it for some moments, he found that the turkey moved slowly around the attracting object in a circle without withdrawing it's gaze for moment After it had made q full circle he ap preached to learn the cause of it's extra ordinary behavior and found that the at tracting object was small striped snake partially concealed by some small weeds, and not until he touched it did the turkey notice his presence, though ordinarily it would not permit him to approach within two or three yards. Even when driven away the turkey persisted in re turning and working around in circle.
 Other fowls were then driven in the direction of the snake, and all on catch ing glimpse of it were strangely af. fected. Finally, satisfied that the con dition of the fowls on seeing the reptile was purely an objective one, the write, took stick and approached the snake tc kill it. It was dead already and-most noteworthy point of all-its head was crushed out of all semblance to it's orig inal shape and covered with dirt.
 The conclusion the writer reached was that small animals passed into sub- jective or hypnotic condition on being suddenly brought in view of serpents, of which all animals, great and small, ap- pear to stand in dread. Accepting this, he says, we have the fascination of birds and small beasts by snakes as scientific fact.-Popular Science Monthly.

STRUCK BY THE CARS.
One Of N. w. Greenman'S Horses I,
 laxr Ior

One of N. w. Greenman's Horses Kill
 ed by New England Train.
 The o'clock passenger train on the New England road struck team owned by N. w. Greenman & Go, coal de alers, at the Field street crossing, this morning killing the horse and throwing James Mccarthy, the driver, out. Mccarthy is sure that the bell or whistle was not sounded by the engineer. The track he said was obstructed from view by sever al box cars and he thinks that the rail road is entirely to blame. The engineer says that he was few minutes late this morning, but was running very slow at that point, it being time for him to slack up for the station. He is sure that he gave sufficient warning of the approach of his train and that he was not to blame. Mir Greenman lays the blame upon the railroad as Mccarthy is a careful driver. The horse was valued at S200.

WAGING WAR ON TRAMPS.
Four Knights of the Road Jailed
 for Sixty Days.

Four Knights of the Road Jailed
 for sixty Days.
 There was an unusually large grist of prisoners in the police court this morn ing and Judge Bradstreet dispensed jus tice with lavish and impartial hand.
 Willie Dumphy, George Dumphy, Frank Mclaughlin and Robert Bradley, all under fifteen years of age, were charged with truancy and incorrigibility. They are members of a gang of boys who have been a terror to South Main street storekeepers for several months. Judge E. F. Cole appeared for the of the case against them. The McLaugh- lin boy is the oldest of the gang and un- til recently has been employed at the pin factory. The testimony of the officers went to show that he was not so bad as his companions. He was given one more chance to do better. Robert Brad ley, aged 10, is the smallest of the gang, and from all accounts one of the worst. A few nights ago he stole pipe from Har- rington's cigar store which was return ed by Officer Noonan. He has also vis- ited Kelly's South Main street bakery father reluctantly told the court that he
 
 did everything in his power to keep him at school and off the street, but to no purpose. The lad was sentenced to the Reform school. The police are looking for three or four more boys, the remain ing members of the fraternity, who are accused of stealing liquor from saloon windows on South Main street.
 James Hawkins was charged with drunkenness and vagrancy. He was ar rested by Officer Noonan while begging on Meadow street yesterday. He claim ed to be a cigarmaker from Cleveland and said he came to Waterbury yester- day morning. A New England road official said he came to town on a freight train Monday. Sixty days in jail. | John Dunn another of the wandering | fraternity, was arrested in an OuthOuse in Brooklyn by Officer Ahearn. He had been detected trying to steal from Guilfoile's store. His pockets were fill ed with bread. The court imposed a sentence of sixty days in jail.
 John Gleason, a member of the same gang, was also arrested in Brooklyn by Officer Ahearn. He had nothing to say | for himself and was given the same dose as the others.
 James Linehan, another tourist, met Officer McNiff on Bank street last night and struck him for a dime. The cruel policeman not only refused to accommo. date him but brought him to the station house and placed him in durance vile Linehan said his home was in Bridgeport and that he had recently been discharged from a New York hospital. He wanted five minutes in which to get out of town 1 He received the same sentence as the others.

ElopeG iu a Storm.

For some time past William D. Hayes, of Prairie View, a young son of prom inent citizen of that place, and Miss FL onia Seltzer, a 16-year-old daughter of George Seltzer, Q wealthy banker of Fairland, have cherished fond affection for each other, but the stern parents of she girl have all along warned the young nan to cease paying his addresses to her. Not to delay matters longer, young Hayes stole his intended bride out dur ing the absence of her parents, and, placing her in buggy, drove through the storm distance of over fifteen miles to this city, where they were married by Elder Thomas Edwards. The girl was almost frozen after her long ride, but bravely faced the wind and weather and returned in the same manner she came, but a happy bride.-Tuscola Uls.j Cor. St. Louis Republic.

Manager Spence has signed two more players for the New Haven base ball team. One is D. J. Lally, who pitched for the Torontos last year, and the other Eddie Fusselbach of Philadelphia, the best third baseman in the New England league in 1888.

It's First Suit.

The selectmen will not have to appear in the trial in the superior court in the case brought by the town of Cheshire against the town of Meriden to compel the reopening of the road at Hough's mills.

HEAVY and sour bread or biscuit has
vast influence through the digestive or
gans upon the measure of health we en-
joy. How important to our present hap
piness and future usefulness the blessing
Of good health and sound constitution
are, we can only realize when we have
lost them, and when it is too late to re-
pair the damage. Notwithstanding these
facts, thousands Of persons daily leopard
ize not only their heath, but their lives,
|sind the healths and lives Of others, by
using articles in the preparation Of their
food the purity and healthfulness Of
which they know nothing. Perhaps a
few cents may have been saved, Or it may
have been more convenient to obtain the
articles used, and the housekeeper takes
the responsibility and possibly will never
know the mischief that has been wrought.
Paterfamlias may have spells of head
ache, the children may have lost their ap-
petites, or look pale; if SO the true cause
is rarely suspected. The weather, the
lack of outdoor air, or some other cause
is given, and the unwholesome, poisonous
system Of adulterated food goes on. Next
to the -four, which should be made of
good, sound wheat and not ground too
fine, the yeast or baking powder, which
furnishes the rising properties, is of the
greatest importance, and of the two we
prefer baking powder, and always use
the Royal, as we thereby retain the origi-
nal properties Of the wheat, no fermen-
mentation taking place. The action of
the Royal Baking Powder upon the dough
is simply to swell it and form little cells
through every part These cells are filed
with carbonic acid gas, which passes off
during the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
acid, and it is the action of this acid upon
highly carbonized bicurbonate OF soda
that generates the gas alluded to; and
these Ingredients are so pure and so per-
fectly fitted, tested and adapted to each
other, that the action is mild and perma-
nent, and is continued during the whole
time of baking, and no residue of poison
GUS ingredients remains to undermine
the health, no heavy biscuits, no soul
bread, but if directions are followed
every article will be found sweet and
wholesome.
