ANOTHER WIFE DESERTED.
Musician OTTO FluGEe Among the
Missing.

Missing.
Otto Flugge, of 80 Abbott avenue. u
we'll known musician who has played in
Hallam's orchestra, is among the miss
ing, and his wife is sorely perplexed
over his absence.
Two weeks ago Mrs Flugge, who has
been troubled with sore eyes, went to
Boston for treatment and incidentally to
visit her sister, Mrs Charles Heiser, who
lives in Boston. She took her only
child, little boy, with her. Over a
week ago she received letter from her
husband saying that when she was ready
he would go to Boston aud see her home
safely. Mrs Flugge promptly answered
this letter, but has since heard nothing
from her husband. Becoming alarmed
at his neglect she returned to Waterbury
Saturday and found that he had left for
parts unknown, taking with him their
piano and all his personal belongings.
The abandoned wife to-day expressed
the opinion that her husband was ac-
companied in his flight by another NO
man. Flugge is II German, about 40
wears of age and cannot be said to be
prepossessing.
A day before Mrs Flugge went to Bos-
ton two young women called to see her
husband, She thought nothing of the
matter at that time, thinking that their
call was strictly business one. Now
she believes differently.
This afternoon it was learned that
last week Flugge disposed of the piano to
Paul Heinze of Is Clay street, for much
less than its actual worth. Heinze would
have Jared better to have bought from a
regular dealer, as there is still balance
due on the piano and the contract is made
out in the name Mrs Flugge. The instru-
ment will be replevined unless given up
voluntarily by Mr. HeinZe.

tions be taken individually, and irrespec-
tive of societies as bodies. D. That the

ing place of safety.
SoUTHINGToN, August 1.-THE storm
here yesterday was remarkable for the

blocks of ice four inches in circumfer-
ence fell for nearly ten minutes, doing
great damage to tobacco and other crops.
When the storm broke out a funeral was
about to take place in Plantsville. The
hearse was backed into a shed and teams

Mr. O'Reilly was born at Dowth castle,
County Meath, Ireland, June %, 1874.
Emphatically one of the Irish people
from birth to death, he became a COM
position first and then q reporter. Full
of patriotism and eager for the enamel
patton of Ireland from English misrule,
when he was 10 years old he joined the
Fenians, and his teeming brain formed
a daring scheme for the carrying out of
his designs. He enlisted in the Tenth
Hussars, and organized a propaganda
for the spread of Irish sentiments in the
British army. By an accident this or
ganization was discovered in 1856, just
as the disaffection was ready to become
an outbreak, and Mr. O'Reilly was tried
for high treason, convicted and sem
fenced to be shot. This sentence was
committed, and he was transported to
Australia. Under the most romantic
circumstances he escaped from Australia
in 1869 in an open boat. He was picked
up many miles from land by the Ameri-
can ship Gazelle, and was brought to
Philadelphia, where he landed on Nov
90, 1869.

NEW York, Aug, IL. Once more the
Brooklyn National League team have as
sumed the authority to lead their COM
petitors in the struggle, and their
work at present is of good order. They
have had little difficulty In the pitch
er's box until the past week, and Low
ett's injury may argue strongly again st
them. Terry is now called upon to do
the bulk of tho work, as Caruthers has
proven too light to pitch against such
teams AS the Phillies, Bostons and Chi
Cages Boston has the best chances of
winning the pennant, as its pitchers
are all in fine fettle. There are many
chances of change, however, within
the next two months. During the week
Cleveland and Cincinnati have improved
their style of work considerably.
Kelly's men have not shown any in
clination to release their hold on the
Players pennant AS yet. Neither has
Captain Ward abandoned his idea of
overtaking the Beaneaters. Since these
clubs came cast again they have not let
down in their fine playing. Small
crowds at home do not discourage the
Brooklyns in the least, and obstacles
that frequently upset other players
only inspire the "wonders" to mole
persistent work. They have thus mai n.

A CURIOUS CASE.
The Point TN IL Recent Habeas Corpus
Hearing.

The Point TN Al Recent HabeaS Corpus
Hearing.
The Litchfield Enquirer describes as
follows n habeas corpus case recently
tried in Woodbury.: Justice Towne of
Woodbury., as appears from this mitti-
mus, tried two men on a complaint
charging them jointly with the crime
of drunkenness. Each were sentenced
to twenty days imprisonment and to pay
all the costs of prosecution against both,
and they We're sent up on a single matt
mus. Writs of habeas corpus were is
sued and the matter was argued by
Hickox and Roberts for the prisoners,
and Mr. Kilburn, amicus republicoe. The
former claimed drunkenness was, like
perjury, crime which was several in
its nature, and not one which two or
more persons could join in committing.
The complaint had charged not only one
offense, but that two had Joined in COM
hitting it. This was an absurdity. If
either was sober he was clearly entitled
to an acquittal. IL both were drunk
there were two several offenses, and
both could not be convicted of the single
offense charged. Objection was also
made to charging one with the full costs
of both. KilbOurn claimed that a recent
statute allowed the joinder;of both parties
in the same complaint. In deciding the
case Judge Seymour said that the re-
requirement of the mattimus regarding
costs was clearly illegal. He seems less
positive regarding the misjoinder, but
nevertheless discharged both parties.

WEALTHY, AND A VAGRANr.

An Alleged Waterbury Man Arrested
Yesterday In New Haven.
Officer Grant of New Haven found q
seedy looking man, about so years old
asleep in n vacant house at the corner of
State and Front streets about 2 o'clock
yesterday morning. The stranger was
brought to the police station where he
said he was Daniel Dunn of Waterbury.
On his person was found $697 in cash
and bank books showing deposits of ST.
231 in the aggregate.
Dunn said he lived in Hartford until
O year ago and came by his money
honestly. He referred to Ex-Governor
Sill for information about his honesty.
The reason he did not go to a hotel was
that he was afraid he would be robbed.
He was charged with vagrancy and
locked up. The police will make inquiries
to determine whether Dnnn has clear
title to his wealth.
In the police court to-day Dunn told a
tangled story and the case was continued
until tomorrow to give the authorities
time to discover something about their
strange prisoner.

A Reporters Interesting Trip over
the New England.


the New England.
A representative of the DEMOCRAT,
with friend, took a trip over the New
England road, Saturday night, as far as
Fishkill. The start was made from here
at II o'clock, but owing to the delays,
Fishkill was not reached until $3.50 the
next morning. At the river all was
hustle and excitement. Sixteen trains
were in the yards awaiting the arrival of
the G. \. r. excursionists from the
west. 1t was IL o'clock before the first
five minutes eight or ten loaded passen-
ger coaches would pull out of the yard.
At the Hudson River depot business was
at a standstill, and only the mail trains
and an occasional engine betOkened any
life.
The New England road at the river
was taxed to its utmost to provide for
the transfer of the eNcursionistS from
Newburg to Fishkill. The gangs of
brakemen who the night previous had
come i'll on freight trains were to act as
turn trip as far as Hartford. Each
train represented one or two states. Per-
haps the most noticeable car was one on
either side of which was a large banner
bearing the words, "Encampment G. A.
r. of Wisconsin"
The return trip was made on the fifth
train which left Fishkill at o'clock AR
irving in Waterbury in the remarkably
fast time of two hours. The run from
Danbury was made in 40 minutes an ex
traordinary performance. Trains were
running all night, some of the passengers
haveing been on the road since o'clock
Friday morning.
One incident in connection with the
trip to the river is worth mentioning.
The friend who accompanied the report
er thought he would like ride on the
engine. The gentlemanly conductor,
AlWestcott, accommodated him. Every
thing went smoothly until Sandy Hook
was reached, where there is a stretch of
mile all down grade. Here the engineer
allowed tho engine to bound along at
the rate of a mile minute. The stranger
in the cab seized hold of railing, his
eyes were almost bounding out of his
hear in fright, his hair was on an end
and his general appearance betokened n
desire to be somewhere else. At the first
opportunity he vacated the cab and the
ride thereafter was made in the caboose.
