II Wa.a Hornets Nest.

A gentleman in Norwich, says the Bulle-
tin, went to his barn Monday to feed his
horse, and while in the loft after the hay
he by some means dislodged hornets
nest in the peak. He had no doubt about
its being hornets nest. The hot-footed
little rascals notified him of the fact at
once. His head was surrounded by them,
and he was stung on the right eye while
meditating what was the best course for
him to pursue. But it got too hot for him
and he beat retreat, and only got rid of
the insects by going into dark cellar.
While the gentleman was trying to d.
vest himself of the pests his dog came out
and started on tour through the lines of
the enemy. He didn't stay long, either,
but went out and rolled in the grass and
swore in dog language. Both man and
dog had an eye closed in the contest.

A STOLEN BICYCLE TRACED.

A Wheelman From Buffalo Finds
His stolen Wheel In Fair Haven.
The value Of the record kept by the
Pope Manufacturing company was shown
the other day. A man by the name of
Russell, residing at 1853 Center street, Fair
Haven East, came to the New Haven Cycle
company's store on State street few days
ago and offered for sale Columbia wheel.
Some of the circumstances of the case were
little suspicious, and Mr. Weaver, in
charge of the store, delayed buying the
wheel until he could find out more about
it. He sent the number of the wheel to
the company's Office in Hartford
and by referring to their books it
was found that it had been
sold in Buffalo. 1t was further found that
the wheel had been sold to Mr.. Harlow G.
Cortis, prominent young attorney of that
city, and that it had been stolen some
weeks ago. Mr.. Cortis came to New Haven
yesterday land went with friend to Rus
sells house and asked to look at the
wheel. He recognized it as soon as he saw
it as his own, and on communicating with
the police Officer Reilly arrested Russell.
Russell claims that the wheel was sent to
him by brother of his living in Buffalo.
The case will probably come up before the
city court to-day.

An order was issued by the Commissioners
during the week forbidding any one from
connecting house or other drains with the
system of sewers emptying into Piney Branch
and its tributaries. This action was taken
because the system OF sewers is In an un-
finished condition, and the discharge into
them Of foul matter would breed nuisance.
When asked If this order was not likely to in
terfere with building operations in the section
Lawyer William A. Gordon, who is we'll
posted in real estate matters in the Rock
Creek region, said: mo, / don't see why
it should, but even ii did, the order
is proper and timely one. Is it not far
better that building operations should be in
terfered with temporarily than that the streams
should be polluted by sewage and the health
of people residing along the banks endangered,
This order will only necessitate the use of dry
earth closets for short time. You see, they
are now building large intercepting sewer
along Rock Creek from Georgetown up to
prevent the contamination of It's water by
sewage from rapidly increasing suburban
population. This sewer has now been ex-
tended nearly to the Woody Lane bridge.
The lands of Messrs. Lyons and Davis were
taken during the week under process of con-
demnation, and that will carry the sewer quite
up to the bridge. am Informed that it is the
intention of the authorities to extend the
sewer up the banks Of Rock Creek as far as
is needful to prevent the pollution of that
stream and Its tributaries. The order is a
necessary one, and any citizen who makes
kick against 1t will not get much credit for

Prevention of Cruelty to animals daily.

as the time goes on. Here are some
of them:
Ifs pig assumes the manners and
privileges of dog is it not also com.
PEELED to take upon itself the same re-
sponsibilities the dog has 10 carry?
WHY is this pig not regularly regis

have a tag attached to its collar, which
puts it on an equal footing with dog:
What right has this pig to the free
dom of the city?
What legal standing has this pig in
case it gets itself into trouble?
What is the difference between dog
and pig from a legal point OF view?
How can a man take out dog license
for a pig. and would not pig travel
ing with such permit be liable to bt
arrested for false pretenses?
II Mr. Partridge or his deputie:
seize this pig for not being licensed
will not its owner have a good cause Of
