Two Miles of Valuable Timber
Burned Last Night.
New MILFORD, April 19.-Passing
trains set fire to the mountains i'll two
places about two miles north of this
place late yesterday afternoon, The
ires burned fiercely all night and the
entire valley was filled with smoke.
Sanford mountain was almost entirely
burned over and Long mountain was
also badly burned. The flames shot up
high at times and the brilliant illumina-
ton was fine sight, which couid be
seen for miles around. Many people
visited the fire but the flames were soon
beyond control. snd net much effort
was made to extinguish them as it
would have been useless. The timber
was very dry owing to absence Of rain
for week There are several dwellings
and sheds in the vicinity of the fire and
the occupants usade preparations to
move to place of safety IN case it be-
came necessary. The wind, however,
changed during the night which prob
ably prevented q disastrous fire.

NEW HAVEN COUNTY POLITICS.
Some of the Possible Candidates For
Sheriff.


Some of the Possible Candidates For
Sheriff.
In regard to the political situation in
New Haven county at present the News
SAWS: 1t is understood that James Rey-
nolds of New Haven and Charles l..
Tomlinson of Milford have joined hands
to secure the democratic nomination for
sheriff this fall for Tomlinson.
Philip Hugo is also mentioned in con-
nection with the shrievalty nomination.
Mr. Hugo is not yet candidate, or at
least he will not say that he Is, but If
the outlook should be promising it
would not be- surprising to see his caster
SHE'D into the ring. Some OF his ad-
mirers are talking sheriff to him now.
LIE Grand Bevins, u selectman of Mer-
ined, is willing to DO Il candidate. He
said the other day that his friends want
ed him to run, and that, while he had
not thought of it before, if they would
promise to give him lift he would en-
ter the race New Haven democrats in
general, however. will not take kindly
to the Meriden candidate. Sheriff Byx-
bee who had several terms, was a Meri-
den man, and the feeling here is that
Meriden ought to be more modest than to
reach out her hand for the plum again.
On the republican side Sheriff Gates
desires a denomination, but County Com
missioner Durham doesn't want him to
get it, The latter thinks Gates has had
enough Of good thing, and some other
fellow ought to have chance. That
fellow in his opinion, belongs in Sey-
mour. The general feeling among re-
publicsns locally is that Gates is the
stronger man, having twice demonstrate
cd his strength by overcoming a demo
Gratis majority. Gates is likely 10 Sc
cure the denomination, as his deputies
throughout the county constitute q
strong machine whose whole power will
he exerted in his interest.

Albert Folts, New Milford Butcher,
Becomes suddenly Rich.
MILFORD, April 17.-Albert Folts, an
humble butcher received communion
tion from a western lawyer yesterday,
the contents Of which greatly surprised
him. 1t was a pleasant surprise, how
ever, as it informed him that he had fall
len heir to $4,000 by the death OF his
father and an uncle who resided in the
west. Most Of Folts family went west
to seek their fortunes but the butcher re-
manned in these parts. He knew that
his father had made money but had no
idea that he was worth nearly as much
as he left him. Folts has made a living
here as butcher for the past ten years
but Is now making arrangements to go
west and look after his interests. He
has been informed that his father and
uncle died within a few days of each
other.

Board OF Education.
A useful and suggestive pamphlet on
Arbor day has been issued by the state
board Of education. 1t contains an in
PRODUCTION by the secretary, Charles d.
Hine, which, among other things, points
out the importance of pleasant surround
ings for school houses, and shows that
to make the day really useful the school
children must share in its observances
and feel that they are identifying the
place for themselves.
After this comes papers by the Hon I.
s. Gold and p. NJ. Augur, list of topics
for Arbor day by J. H. Hale, directions
as to tree planting, and a variety Of pro-
grammes for the day and selections for
reading or recitation. The pamphlet ad-
mirably covers the ground, and ought
to make a suitable and interesting cele-
bration an easy matter.

The Russian mobiles are rushing to
bankruptcy in great numbers. The
credit bank for lending money to them
on mortgage of their lands, established
by the government two or three years
ago, has now no less than 1000 estates
which will have to be sold at public auc-
ton at the end of this year for non-pay-
ment of interest on loans. The ques-
ton is, who will buy this enormous
amount Of property? If neither the
bank nor the government buys it, there
will be 9, 900 noble landowners ruined
by an institution which was established
by the government for their special
help.

WALLINGFoRD, Conn, April 19.-The
trial of Ex-Postmaster w. B. Hall was
to have come up before Judge Hall in
the borough court to-day but it has
again been postponed. Postmaster Hall
was sued by his wife for non-support.
In turn Mrs Hall is accused by her hus-
band of being unfaithful to him. Sew
eral witnesses were presented by the de-
PENDANT to prove that Mrs Hall has been
unduly intimate with Hartford man,
and as they went on matters became de-
cidedly interesting for everyone. but Mrs
Hall and her attorneys though, the best
way out of the trouble was to effect a
settlement. Steps looking to the end
and the case will probably be withdrawn
from the courts. Both parties were
classed among the 400 and the affair
caused one of the biggest sensations the
borough has had for long time.
