ARRESTED FOR EMBEzzLEMENT.
Serious Charges Preferred Against
 Manager George l.. Pelham.

Serious Charges Preferred Against
 Manager George L. Pelham.
 If thunderbolt had fallen from clear sky it would hardly have caused more surprise than the arrest of George l.. Pelham, the local manager for E. Shoninger & Co, the New Haven piano and organ manufacturers, for embezzle- ment. Mir Pelham was one of the com. pany's most trusted agents, having been in their employ many years in New Haven, Bridgeport, WInsted and for four years in this city.
 When Henry R. Day, the former local manager of the company, fled to Canada after having stolen from his employers to the extent of about S10,O0O, Mir Pel- ham was selected to take charge of the store. He was a hustling salesman and the business increased from the first month of his management.
 Of late, however, some things were discovered by the company, that led to an investigation, the result of which was the arrest, yesterday evening, of Mana ger Pelham, charged with embedding g ,500 from the concern. The arrest was upon a civil suit, returnable before the September term of the superior court at New Haven.
 Sheriff J. w. Mcdonald made the arrest and spent last night with his prisoner, at the Scovill house. Efforts are being made by friends to obtain a bond of $2 500 for the accused. Unless the bond is secured to-day he will DC taken to jail.
 The managers of the company were greatly surprised and shocked when they learned of the operations of Mir Pelham. They say he was following exactly the same path as that which led to the ruin of his predecessor. His plan was to sell instruments and enter them upon the books as rented, and return only a small percentage of the money collected in such cases to the company. That he had no in- tention of becoming a thief was evident from the fact that he had paid back over $500 of his peculations, and had the con- dition of his books not been discovered | it is probable that in time every cent taken would have been returned. This afternoon Sheriff Mcdonald de- tected what he believed to be an error in the papers and accompanied the ac. cused to New Haven to have a consulta. tion with the attorney of Shoninger & Co. Mir Pelham himself has made nc effort to secure a bond. He intimates that his accounts are all right and that Shoninger & Co will have reason to re- gret their action.

Another Swimming Fatality in the
 YantIc River at Norwich.
 Willie Hilderbrand, aged eleven, son of John Hilderbrand, was drowned in the Yantic river at Norwich, Monday af ternoon while bathing. The boy with several companions, none of whom could swim. were bathing in the same place that boy lost his life only a week ago. At this point the current is very strong and only an expert swimmer can resist it. When the companions of Willie saw him being carried beyond his depth they ran away crying for help. Several older boys rushed to his assistance but could render him no aid. The body was recovered an hour after.

The Proposed New Railroad,

STANFORD, July 9.-There seems to be some doubt about the proposed New York, Bridgeport and Eastern Railroad company, securing the right to build the line, although the railroad commis- sioners have approved the layout. The law provides that an engineer must be examined who has been over the entire route and made surveys before the rail road commissioners will approve of the layout. In the hearing before the rail road commissioners last week Engineer Scofield was examined, and Colonel Hoyt who appeared for the property owners, through whose line the land runs, brought out the fact that the engi- neer had not gone over the line as re- quired by law and that his maps were drafted from old ones made from sur veys seven years ago. The counsel claimed that the requirements of the law had not been fulfilled, but the com missioners decided that it was matter which they could rule upon. Now Col Hoyt has secured writ of quo warranto and the question will be tried at the September term of the superior court. The opinion prevails in this section that the railroad company will be beaten.

Tho Latter Paid Too Much Attention
 to His SUepmOther.
 Officer Ahern appointed himself arbi- trator of a domestic squabble on Jeffrey alley at an early hour this morning and after hearing the facts arrested John Martz and Simon Kunkle. his son, for drunkenness and breach of the peace. As near as can be learned, the old man, who has young second wife, is jealous of the boy, and after both had drank to excess last night they concluded to fight it out and the father was getting the worst of it when Officer Ahern called a halt. When asked how it came about that he had a different name from his father Kunkle said that he took his mothers name under the laws of Bavaria. As Judge Bradstreet is in New York and Judge Cowell in Boston, the case against the men was continued until tomorrow.
 Jimmy Curley. the same one, was brought in drunk early this morning. He sang obsolete ballads in a falsetto voice for an hour and was placed in the dungeon.
