DEAD IN HIS CELLAR.
Jacob KlOnowSlli's Skull Fractured by
Fall,

Jacob KlOnowSki's skull Fractured by n
Fall.
The dead body of Jacob Klonowski
was found in the cellar of his house, No
Orchard street, about $3.50 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. KlonOwski was a
carpenter, 60 years of age, and since the
death of his wife, about six months ago,
he has lived alone, doing no work ex-
cept odd jobs for the neighborS. He
was a familiar figure to people in
the eastern part of the city and could be
seen almost daily working about the
house until this week when he suddenly
disappeared. Yesterday a number of
the neighbors thinking that perhaps the
old man was sick entered the house and
after a search found his dead body lying
at the foot of the cellar stairs sur
rounded by clotted blood and his hands
clasped around board. Medical Ex-
aminer North was notified and upon
examination found a bad fracture at
the base of the skull, which
had caused death. The man had bled
profusely from the ear and nose and
probably never recovered consciousness
after being injured. 1t is believed that
while going upstairs with the board
Klonowski fell backward striking his
head against the stone wall of the cellar.
Upon the ma ntel in the kitchen an
envelope was found containing sub
scription to the monthly collection at
the Sacred Heart church. The deceased
was POlander, but had lived in this
city for nearly thirty-five years. He
has a daughter living in New York who
has been notified of her fathers death.

yesterday afternoon. taking to the Con
solidated railroad track going north
The break-neck speed was kept up for
two miles on the track until the horse,
reached Moneys crossing when it left
the track of its own accord and stopped
exhausted. The 5:2S train FOLLOWED the
runaway for the entire distance and had
to slack up to keep from running into
the wagon. The runaway caused quite
an excitement at both ends of the route
besides creating interest for the engi-
neer and five men on the locomotive. The
wagon was not badly broken and the
horse is all right again.

carry off a rooster, but succeeded in only
getting its tail. He has burrowed for
himself a home in the ground little
southeast of Mr. Belden's barn. He
seemed somewhat domesticated as he
was willing to leave his hole while per-
sons are near. Yesterday six or seven
little foxes were seen enjoying their
dinner. An attempt is being made to
capture them.

door was a ferocious bulldog, which the
proprietor'S wife refused to remove, I'M
til the collector threatened to shoot it.
Dubee removed to Bridgeport from
this city about year ago. While he
here he peddled from cart, and once
when Dairy Commissioner Tatem APP

left the commissioner far in the rear.

AS an illustration of one of Rarnum,s
ingenious methods of attracting attention
to his museum may be mentioned the in
cident Of the ssbrick man." One day a
man applied for aims to Barnum, who
was sitting in the ticket office To the
inquiry as to why he did not go to work,
the mendicant replied that he would
gladly do SO at dollar a day if =he could
find employment. Barnum gave him
twenty-five cents to get his breakfast,
and told him to return, and he would
give him dollar and half day and
easy work. When the man returned,
Barnum gave him five bricks, and told
him to place one in front of the museum,
another on the corner of Vesey street,
third at the corner of Fulton-on the st.
Paul's church side-and the fourth on
the east corner of Fulton. Returning
then to the museum, he was to take up
the first brick and replace it with the
fifth, and then continue his rounds, put
ting down one brick and taking up the
other each time.
He was enjoined to answer no ques-
tions and TO seem not to hear, and that
at the end of each three-quarters of an
hour he was to pass into the museum,
look around at the curiosities for fifteen
minutes and then resume his rounds
with the bricks. Barnum says that the
man played his part to perfection. and
his eccentric conduct caused a great
crowd to gather about the museum.
Many of these, of course, went into the
museum to seek some explanation as to
the purpose of the 'tbrick man" This
was kept up for several days, until the
police requested his withdrawal, because
such crowds fingered about the museum
that traffic was interrupted. G. Speed

Importance of breathing Properly

importance OF Dreaming properly
In all the various systems of physical
culture now in vogue the greatest I'M
portance is attached to taking the breath
properly. The breathing should be slow
and deep, six breaths minute being a
safe average. There is still difference
of opinion in regard to the relative value
of abdominal and chest breathing, and
each system has its advantages. One of
the best exercises for increasing the ca
pacity of the lungs is to draw full
breath very slowly and through the
nose. Keep the lungs inflated as long as
possible, and then expel the air suddenly
through the mouth, and repeat the pro-
cess. r. .
Care should be taken not to try to
make the period of holding the breath
too long at the start; the more gradually
the power of doing this is attained the
better will be the permanent results
There are many breathing exercises, and
one of the best is the taking of a deep
breath and swinging the arms, first one,
then the other, and finally both, while
the breath is inhaled. Excessive prac-
tice of any system should be avoided,
and the golden rule of taking moderate
and judicious exercise should be OBJ
served.-New York Commercial Adver-
tisar
