Decoration of Chivalry Conferred
Fine Appearance of the Cantons
From This City.
HARTFORD, Sept. 24.-The Patriarchs
Militant, I. o. o. E., paraded here this af-
ternoon. The day was all that could be
desired and large number of mon partici-
pated in the parade. It was under command
of General Charles B. Foster of NewHaven
and the cantons from all over the state
made a splendid showing. Colonel Walter
Pond of New Haven commanded the First
regiment, making his first appearance at
the head of the organization since his cleo
ton few weeks ago. The New Haven
cantons and commanding officers present
were Grand canton Sassacus, F. D. Brett
captain; Golden Rule, j. D. Eldredge cap
tain; Aurora, "A. Parlow captain There were
cantons present from every part of the
state and the parade was q very handsome
one, rejecting great credit on all concerned
in the demonstration. The regular inspec-
ton was performed by the brigade officers
at the Union armory under the direction
of General Foster.

TWO DAYS EACH moNrH.

The Patrolmen of the City to Pre-.
sent Petition TO the COmmissiOn.
ers for Two Days Leave OF Absence
Each Month without Loss of Pay
-ReasOns why the Petition should
be Granted.
The patrolmen of this city are about to
present petition to the police commits
sioners requesting that leave of absence be
granted them two days each month withs
out loss of pay. The question has been
agitated among the members of the force
for some time past, and it is more than
probable that the petition will be pre-
scented at an early meeting of the commits
sioners. A few of the reasons given why
such petition should be granted, all of
which seem reasonable and Just, are
as follows: First, because pay !, is
not allowed officers for absence on account
of sickness although contracted in dis
charge of duty, and thousands of dollars
which would be allowed to the men in
other cities in such absence are thus lost
to them. Second, because the patrolmen's
work is mostly night work, eighteen
months work out of twenty-four being al
night. Third, because every reliable ply.
stefan in the city would recommend such
q movement as general health measure
Fourth, because a great deal of time
| other than the ten ours duty
required is given by patrolmen in attend
| ance at courts with consequent loss Of
Sleep, going out with the patrol wagon
| etc., all the patrolmen's time being claimed
by the city, should necessity arise. Fifth
| because the services of the men being re
quired every day in the year, Sundays ant
holidays included, the members of tn
| force have no time allowed them fo
| necessary recreation and rest. Sixth, be
cause the officers are all doing good work
few: cities, in the country being as quie
and orderly as this, Notwithstanding tn
fact that it is situated between those grea
| centers of crime, New York and Boston.

owing to His Good Memory He
could no Apparently Impossible
Feats.
The history of the celebrated conjurer,
Robert Houdin, furnishes a remarkable
example of the power of memory ac-
quired by practice. He and his brother,
while yet boys, invented game which
they PLAYED in this wise: They would
pass shop window and glance into it
without stopping, and then at the next
corner they used to compare notes and see
which could remember the. greatest num-
Der of things in the window and in what
position they stood. Having tested the
accuracy of their observations, they would
go and repeat the experiment elsewhere.
By this means they acquired incredible
powers of, observation and memory; so
that, after running by shop window
once and CHANGING as they passed, they
would enumerate every article in it.
When Robert beca1ne professional con-
jurer this habit enabled him to achieve
feats apparently miraculous. It is told
of him that, visiting friends house
where he had never been before, he
caught glimpse of the bookcase as he

A FATAL STEP.

Conductor Nottingham OF the Consol-
fdated Road Steps In Front of an
Engine and Is Instantly KilIed-Thc
Body Horribly Mangled.
Conductor Thomas F. Nottingham of
the Consolidated road was Instantly killed
yesterday just before noon on the railroad
track just below East street bridge. He
was in charge of the freight train on the
Air Line division and was due in this CITY

was slowing up at the point where the
fatality occurred and Nottingham stepped
off the caboose ON the wrong side. That
step was fatal. The White mountain ex-
press train going north was a little late
and it was going along at a lively rate
when the freight conductor stepped in
front of the engine, s4darely ON the track.
The engineer had no time to reverse. The
fated man was struck and knocked to one
side.
Both trains were stopped and willing
helpers sought the body. The rear portion
of the head and one side of the face was
smashed in, the left foot was entirely sew
cred from the leg and both legs were badly
lacerated. Nottingham was still breathing
but he expired just as the men were nIac,,
ing him on the stretcher.
Conductor Nottingham was twentv-f;v Eve
years old, and was we'll known Young
man in this city. He was married. and
lived at 271 James street, in Fair Haven ),
He had been employed on the Consolidated
road for number of years, and was re-,
spected and liked by all his associates. |,
He leaves "a wife and two-vear.old
ehiN to mourn his loss.
