This is being torn down, but prob ably before the workmen began work in the morning. Warren crossed the open space between the shops, which is noth- ing unusual, as he had considerable freedom within the inclosure. He en- prisonment having given him a tho rough knowledge of the building, he opened trap door in the floor, leading into an underground space which was probably used as sewer years ago. He had saved a quantity of food from his rations, and with a bottle of water he settled himself to camp out in his place of concealment until the prison author ities should give up looking for him. He forth at night and escape over the wall. He was not missed until noon, but when it was found he was not in his ac- customed place thorough search was at once made, but without success, by Acting Deputy Horton, and Officers Martin and Watson.

The ticket window is about four feet above the bottom of the wagon. Mr, Kelly sits upon high stool, with Q large sum of money in dollars, halves and quarter piles upon Q shelf on his right.

 Once too Often.

A Hartford Bridge Jumper Tries 1t
 Once too Often.
 William Farrell, aged 32, of Hartford. was drowned in the Connecticut river yesterday. A feat Farrell has often ac- complished with success is jump from a coal chute sixty feet high into the water. Yesterday Farrell was about this place with g number of companions. They were talking about the jump from the chute, when Farrell offered to show how it was done. He took off all his clothes except a flannel undershirt, stood on the edge and leaped out. For some reason his body turned in the air and his back struck the water first. The blow was undoubtedly a severe one. Once he sank and came to the surface. An oar was pushed out to him, but he did not reach for it. Quickly he sank again, and this time his body remained under the water. The body was re- covered in half an hour. The back was one huge black spot.

BELIEVED TO BE GEN MUMFORD


 Tho Man Who Committed Suicide
 in a Litchfield Hotel.
 MYSTIC, June 23.-People in this place who saw the picture of the unidentified man who shielded in Litchfield few weeks ago, which was printed in the Hartford Times last week, are pretty positive that the body was that of Gen eral Mumford who frequently visited this place. The picture corresponds with the man known as General Mum ford. No one appears to know very much about the man, as he was of a rowing disposition, and never staid in any one place but 8 short time. He always had a plentiful supply of money. While in Mystic the last time General Mumford purchased an Appleton 6, Tracey Waltham watch, numbered l. 7S0, 121.

WHAT 1T WILL Do.
The New Ordinance Designed tai Hold the
Immoral Glasses Ia Check.

The New Ordinance Designed tn Hold the
Immoral Glasses In Check.
should the ordinance which was passed
by the council on Monday night, relative
Ia the suppression of the houses of i'll re-
pute, he signed by the mayor, il will go
into effect ON or about the first Of next
month. As was stated at the council meet
ing. IL is not expected that the absolute
suppression Of this class Of people a be
Effected. Ii is the intention rather 10
keep the degraded women from lounging
the sidewalks. Al present the keep
ers Of the houses pay no
revenue 10 the city i'm any way, not even
having "a liquor license. The necessity of
having q licen Sc is cvaded by the use of
an electric button which with
some saloon. The button ON being
touched. "a man shortly appears with one
or two bottles of beer. The pay for the
beer Is collected by the saloon-keeper,
with whom the girls stand In and, while
To all appearances they have nothing To
do with the beer transaction, still they
keep ''cascs" OH the number Of bottles
and receive half of the 81 which is col
lcctcd. At present there is no law cover
ing this matter n nothing "a he done
IL an arrest is made, owing To the reluc-
lance of anyone to appear I'm such "a case
AS a witness against the women.
After the new ordinance Is passed the
officers will have the matter in their
hands and il is their purpose occasionally
10 raid the houses, arrest the mates and
fine them, thus making them contribute
To the city's expenses. Tits probable hat
"a fine will be collected about every three
months from each proprietor, and il she
and her crew are not willing To pay the
mou they can he run out Of " An
other good feature bon the ordinance Is
that IL will more ar less do away with that
low class Of beings called ''pinkies" who
hang about the city, do no work, pay no
taxes of any kind and seem Ia tie
light in living from the earnings
Of depravcd women who furnish them
for all purposes even paying their
fines when they are arrested. IL Is an as
surcd act that some of these men will be
obliged Ia seek new pastures for their in
fanny when the ordinance Is made "A law.
IL is also quite certain that strangers who
visit this city will not see so many scantily
clad women ON the street, for they will be
compelled To conflue themselves to the
limits of four walls, unseen and unheard
by passprs by.
