A BODY IN LAKE WHITNEY.

Hugh Connolly, JOurneyman
Horse Sheer, Throws Himself Into
the Lake and DrOwns-SOme Think
1t an Accident.
The body of Hugh Connolly, a journeys
man horse sheer, who has boarded at 10
White street with his aunt for some time,
was found in Lake Whitney yesterday
morning, just northeast of the covered
bridge. George Nichols, who resides near
by, saw the body in the water and notified
Medical Examiner Swift of Whitneyville.
When the body was examined no marks of
foul play were found. In his pockets
were found ten cents and a card. The
latter gave the clue to the strangers
identity. It bore the name of Hugh Con-
nelly, and indicated that he was member
of the Journeymen Horse Shoer's associa
ton Of New Haven.
Connolly until month ago was employ
ed by Palmer & Bishop, horseshoers, 80
George street. He was good workman,
but not steady in his habits. When he
got through he went to New York and not
long ago came to town again. Yesterday
he was in Wallingford and worked until
early in the afternoon for Edward Muir
ply. He left Wallingford with Thomas
Connors, another horse sheer who belongs
on Oak street, for New Haven. Connolly
had been drinking and when they reached
the depot Connors attempted to board q
train going north, and was hauled off by
Connolly.
The pair left the depot and apparently
intended to walk to New Haven. Connort
was in George street last night about 6
o'clock and there explained that he had
parted with Connolly about four miles
north of the city.
The inmates of the Nichol house neal
where the body was found, state that
piercing shrieks like those of q man strug-
Cling for his life were heard early this
morning. They soon subsidized, however
and no notice was given them. The gen.
eral opinion is that Connolly fell off the
bridge while he was in state of intoxica-
ton,

The breath OF chronic catarrh patient
is often so offensive that he becomes an
object of disgust. After time liberation
sets in, the spongy bones are attacked, and
frequently entirely destroyed. A constant
source of discomfort is the dripping of the
purulent secretions into the throat, some
times producing inveterate bronchitis,
which in its turn has been the exciting
cause of pulmonary disease. The brilliant
results which have attended its use for
years past properly designate Ely's Cream
Balm as by far the best and only cure.

charge of attempting to burglarize the house Of
John Bausey, corner of Webster and Winter

ed and Mr.. Bausey with boarder, Mr.. Brainard,
went outside and found two men standing behind
a tree across Winter street. These men proved
to be Chase and selsey. Mr.. Bausey, went after
Officer George Hyde, who questioned the young
men. They told different stories, but claimed to
have been attracted to the spot by the cries Of
the women. Judge Picket questioned Chase and
learned that he had been out Of prison but about
three months. He had spent eighteen months
