tent that has visited Waterbury for a
incessant and the lightning dangerously
sharp.
At the telephone Office there was a
dangerous exhibition and business was
Immediately suspended. Thirty-four
local wires, besides many grounded and
metallic circuit wires were burned out.
The rain fell in torrents and the sewers

ROLLIN BEERS MISSING.
He Is Reported to Have Embezzled I
Large Amount of Money.

He Is Reported to Have EmbeZzled a
Large Amount Of Money.
The news comes by way of Bridge
port that several prominent residents OF
Trumbull and other surrounding towns
have lost large sums of money through
the crooked transactions of son of a
prominent man Of Long Hill. The al
legged absconder is Rollin Beers, a son OF
Legrand G. Beers of Long Hill, and a
young man who gave promise OF a
bright career. Mr. Beers has not been
seen for nearly six months, and his
whereabouts at present are unknown.
About six months ago Mr. Beers visited
the home of his father and during his
stay there, secured considerable
amount of money from his father, his
sister, Elliot Beardsley and the late Miles
Beardsley, to be invested IN mortgages
in Brooklyn. Mr. Beers was building up
good legal practice in that place and
represented that he could invest the
money to great advantage. Soon after
his return to Brooklyn he sent mortgage
blanks to his relatives. Since then
nothing has been heard of him.
The exact amount Of his embezzle'
ments 10 undetermined. 1t is reported
that the aggregate is nearly $50, 900. bu,
this is considered by some as an ex
aggerated report. 1t is rumored that
Elliot and Miles Beardsley lost about
SIS 900, Legrand Beers about So, 900 and
that Lawyer Beers obtained nearly
81 800 from his sister, who is a schoo
teacher in Huntington. The facts oil
the defalcation have been hushed up
although unreliable rumors have beer
afloat for some time past.

An Interesting Test Case.

ToLLAND, June 6.-Great interest is
taken in the insurance case of Young &
Co Of this city vs. the Newark Fire In
surance company which will begin next
week Tuesday. In 1883 Young & Co
placed about $4,000 insurance on stock
of goods with Webster & Co of Hartford.
Webster & Co placed one policy for
$4,000 in the Newark company through
E. B. Dillingham;. an insurance agent of
Hartford. 1t is claimed that few days
after writing the policy. the company
informed their Hartford agent that they
could not accept the risk. He then
asked Webster & Co to return the policy
but they were unable to do SO as they
had sent it to Young & Co. A few
days later Young & Co.'S stock was de.
stroyed by fire. The company refused
to pay the policy and suit was instituted
A jury gave Young & Co a verdict tc
recover the whole amount, but the SUI
preme court ordered a new trial.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Here is pitchers record for you. In
the last five games that Doran of New
Haven has pitched only fourteen base
hits have been made off of him, an aver
age of less than three hits per game.
There is not a pitcher in the country
who has done better work not even
cyclone Rusie.
Says the Bridgeport Standard: Ed
ward Menard, member Of the Bridge
port polo team, left this city suddenly
last Monday morning, and the members
of the Bridgeport base ball club are
minus several suits. Four of the suits
were borrowed from Captain James
Sheridan, and Menard collected them
shortly before his departure saying that
he was going to return them to the
owner, but this he failed to do. Menard
settled with Mrs Stroudt, his landlady,
the day on which he left. The polo
player took his trunk with him and it is
believed that the suits, which he had in
his possession, were in the trunk.

Mr. Bonner told a Sun reporter on
Wednesday that Sunol would remain
under Governor Stanford's management
until October, when she will come into
his possession. He supposed Merwin
would take her down the grand circuit,
and in course of the season she would be
sent to lower her record. The governor
thinks she will trOt in 1904 or 2:05, but
Mr. Bonner reiterated his oft-expressed
remark that he does not expect to see
that mark hit in his time.

The races in Derby yesterday resulted
as follows: In the 2:48 class A. E.
Coles Webb took first money and G.. w.
Haight's DR. Talley second. Best time
2:34. The 2:34 class started field of
six horses. Telephone grew in favor at
the pool box and was held high, al
cessive heats. Like the former race
turfmen began to hedge after the third
heat. Heats were taken by Pilot Boy,
Rose and Telephone. 1t was evident
that Telephone could win if the owner
SO desired. In the fourth heat Telephone
and Pilot Boy gave good race. Pilot
Boy won the final heat by a neck. Al
the close of the race Starter HARRISON
announced that A. E. Cole, owner OF
Telephone, was fined S25 and suspended
from the circuit for one year. Previous
to the final heat Cole offered to sell the
horse for 1000. 1t was evident that he
feared an announcement from the
Judges.
The double umpire system is an as
sured success. Boston should have haC
two umpires long ago.

Both Fined for Assault.

ToLLAND, June GA peculiar and in
teresting case was concluded in the
criminal side of the superior court yes
terday. 1t is known as the Columbia
shooting case and had been in the courts
several months. Mrs Crotty and John
August were neighbors. Mrs Crotty g
hens would persist in going into
Augusts garden and scratch it up.
August demonstrated with Mrs Crotty
but to no avail. The children of Mrs
Crotty and August took up the cudgels
and young Crotty gave the August boy
a sound thrashing. August, sr, again
called on Mrs Crotty with remon-
STRANGE. He was ordered to leave the
house, whereupon it is alleged he be-
came expited and hurled a stone at Mrs
Crotty's head. She then seized double
barreled shot gun and blazed away at
August. The contents entered his arm

wounded. Both preferred charges of
assault. Judge Hall found both guilty
and fined Mrs Crotty $25 with costs and
John August S. and costs. August now

ESCAPED FROM THE ASYLUM.

a PatientWhose Friends are Supposed
to Live in Waterbury
Franklin Hayes, aged SO years, and an
inmate of the Connecticut hospital for
insane, at Middletown, escaped from the
institution Wednesday, and thus far has
not been captured. Hayes had been con-
fined in the institution for some time.
His great hallucination is to commit
suicide, and it Is feared he will if only
given time enough.
The police in this city have been given
his description as have those in different
parts of the state, but it is the opinion
that he will never be found alive. The
authorities at the asylum state that the
friends of Hayes live in Waterbury. The
selectmen report that so far as they
know Hayes was not committed to the
institution from this city.

1NrERNAL REVENUE TAXES.
Largo Falling on In the Sales OF
OleOmarGarine.

Large Falling or In the Sales OF
OleomarRarine.
April and May are the busiest two
months of the year with the internal
revenue officials throughout the coun-
try. In this district, embracing Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, about one
third of the total yearly collections is OBJ
tanned during these months. There has
been no falling off in the aggregate re-
ceipts as compared with last year, but
an actual gam appears of s., O67.29. The
penalty lists, beer, spirit and tobacco
stamps show a gain Of $13, 975.05, while
there is loss from cigar, oleomargarine
and special tax stamps of $1O,897.76, or
net gain as stated above of $3,O76. 30.
AS the tax on oleomargarine is at the
rate of cents per pound, the reduced
receipts from this source would indicate
that the consumption or demand during
April and May of this year was short
some 281 $3.50 pounds as compared with
last year. Perhaps the wet season has
had something to do with it. Grass has
probably the farmers and creameries
have been able to compete more success
fully, for the spring trade. The loss on
special taxes is probably due to the en-
fOrcement of local option and high
license laws and comes largely from
Rhode Island. About a year ago a
special session of the Rhode Island legis
lature was convened for the express pur.
pose of passing high license law; this
has probably been effective in reducing
the number of places where liquors are
sold. 1t also shows that under high
license less number procure the United
States special tax than was the case un'
der prohibition. In Connecticut the re-
duction is not so marked. The aggre.
gate receipts for April and May were
$685., 1881.
