Illegal Fishing.

Thursday Fish Warden Elkinton
made a complaint against Asa Mead,
before Squire Riley, for setting an ''ell
Pot" contrary to law. According to
the statements of the fish warden the
"pot" or net had a very large opening,
while the law demands that the en-
trance shall not be more than four in
ches in diameter and fifteen inches at
the base. That night Mead appeared
before the Justice, and after the hear
ing was sentenced to pay fine of $15
The Squire and Warden sacrificed
their perquisites, as the law fixes the
penalty at $40 together with all costs.

HIS GENEALOGY.
Rev. Ethan Osborne a Peck on
his Mothers Side.


his Mothers Side.
The following facts concerning the
ancestry of Rev. Ethan o borne were
contributed by one of the descendants
of the Peck family, of which the rev.
erend gentleman was also a descend
ant.
Deacon Paul Peck was born in Essex
county, England, in 1908, and came to
this country in the ship Defence" in
1885, and remained in Boston, Mass,
or its vicinity, until 1855, and then re-.
moved to Hartford with the Rev.
Thomas Hooker and his friends. His
name is in the list of the proprietors
of Hartford, in 1859.
From the records of the town, it ap-
pears that he became one of its lead
ing men,
His residence is said to have been
upon what is now QS6s) Washington
street, not far from Trinity College,
the site of which being still known by
aged persons as the peek Lot"
He was Deacon Of the Congregation
alist Church from 1851 to his decease
December 20, 1895. His will is upon
the Probate Records Book s. pages
2171S-19, dated June 25, 1895. His in
ventory amounted to e5365.
He had nine children, viz: Paul,
Martha, Elizabeth, John, Samuel, JOS
eph, Sarah, Hannah and Mary.
Paul Peck, first son of Deacon Paul,
resided in West Hartford, where he
died in 1926; he married Elizabeth
Baisey, daughter of John Baisey.
His children were: Paul, John,
Martha, Samuel, Hannah, William and
Ruth.
William Peck, grandson OF Deacon
Paul, was born in 1856, and removed
to Litchfield in 1877. He married Lois
Webster. His children were; Jerusha,
born September 1927, married Joseph
Vail; Timothy, born March 6, 1880;
Lois, born September 1882, married
John Osborn, the father OF Ethan Os-
born; Eunice, born September, 1876;
Margaret, married Capt. Harris Hop
kins; Abigail, married James Stodard;
and Sarah married Abel Brown.
The Pecks were numerous family
in England. They were non-conform-
ists to the superstitious ceremonies
and corruptions OF the Church, for
which they were prosecuted and driv-
en- from the country. Among others
who were thus prosecuted, was the
Rev. Robert Peck, pastor Of the church
at bingham. Norfolk county, England.
in 1905, where he remained until 1885,
when he fled from the prosecutions of
the church to this country. Brooks,
in his lives of the Puritans, gives many
facts of interest in relation to him. In
particularizing some of the offtnses for
which he and his followers were perse-
cuted, he says, "for having catechis-d
his family and sung a psalm in his o WI
house, on Lords day evening, when
some of his neighbors ATTENDED, his
lordship Bishop Haa ,neD euj oined ali
who were present to do penance, re-
quiring them TO say, | confess my er-
rors, &C." Those who refused were
immediately accommodated and Re-
quired to pay heavy costs. R v.
Robert Peck was driven from his q ock,
deprived of his bene fee, aud forced t,
seek his bread in foreign and.
He WAS like John Rogers, who WAS
burned at the stake at Smithtield. Feb
ruary 0, 1555, who, when he was Of
fered d pardon If he would recanf, re-
fused il on such terms, aud said he
would not exchapg. h quick fire for
everlasting burnings.

fellows went out back lane to Pearl

IellOWS went out a BACK lane to Pearl
street.
Who ware the thieves.
That may be found sometime. 1t
may never be learned.
Miss Gertie Mengel, who lives on
North Pearl street, says that about
o'clock Sunday morning she was
awake, and hearing footsteps, looked
out of the window and saw three man
carrying grips, going North. The
impression is general these are
the men who did the work.
Sunday morning two strangers
boarded the Philadelphia bound train,
at Husted's station, one getting on a
front and the other rear car, but
neither carried anything. William
Meyers, employed by the West Jersey
r R. Co., sold two suspicious looking
fellows tickets for Philadelphia. One
purchased two tickets and the other
one.
Sunday afternoon Constable Robt.
Ayars and Prosecutor Logue took
hold of the case, and did a great deal
of private work. MIR. Ayars went to
Philadelphia on the afternoon train.
Officers Compbell and Garrison were
on police duty Saturday night. Meth
er saw any Suspicious characters about
the streets. Both the officers say they
heard a noise in the neighborhood of
Sheldon's store, shortly after. one
o'clock, and they made Investigations,
but could see nothing.
Mr.. Sheldon's loss is very heavy.
Of course it is impossible for him to
ascertain to the dollar, but footing up
in general way, he thinks his losses
will be from 81, 600 to $1,000, independ-
ent of the goods left there for repairs.
! The robbery caused the greatest ex-
element, and all day long large crowds
of curious people remained in front of
the store, discussing the affair. Mol
day, hundreds of people fiocked
in the place to see the result of the
work
Mr.. Sheldon wishes to publicly thank
! the people for their generous express
ions of sympathy, and Monday he
pluckily took the remnants of his
stock, and is ready for business. The
tray of gold watches, which were not
stoleD, are in the window, and upon
them card "What they left"
Mr.. Sheldon Monday received a
number of kilograms from the firms
with whom he deals in Philadelphia,
offering him assistance.

Ninety-eiEht Per Cent. Of the Cold Waves
F0retold-Tornadoes.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual report
of the chief signal officer, Gen. Greedy, says
there has been decided improvement in
the condition and efficiency Of the army as
regards the signal practice. The most i'm
portant event in connection with the work
of the signal corps has been the unprece-
denied successful establishment and main
tenance Of an elaborate system Of heliograph
signaling in the department. Of Arizona,
longer distances being attained than ever
before. Referring to the weather branch of
the service, Gen. Greedy says the duties
devolvinR personally on the forecast officer
permit less than one-quarter of minute
on an average in which to decide, formu-
late and express the forecast for state or
district, regarding any meteorological
element, such as the weather, temperature
and wind. Rarely can q minute be given
district. Notwithstanding ali difficnities
there were only fourteen occasions last year
on which severe cold waves were not pre-
dicted, SO per cent. of all important cold
waves being predicted.
;. Speaking OF tornadoes, Gen. Greedy says
it appears from data on hand that IN no
state may destructive tornado be expected
to occur oftener than every two years, and
that the area over which total destruction
can be expected is exceedingly small, even
in states most liable to these violent
storms. Gen. Greedy believes this matter
impress upon the people at large how small
are the chances Of personal injury or loss
Of property in this connection. In conolu-
sion he says that tornadoes are not 70 de-
