Drowning Accident Brings to Light

A Drowning Accident Brings to Light a
Curiosity.
A bOatman named Reynolds, while
pulling in the anchor of his boat at
Lake Waccabuc, Danbury, late yester-
day, fell in the water and disappeared.
Divers went to work Immediately to re-
cover the body, but after several hours
searching were unable to find it. An
underground cave was discovered at the
bottom of the lake and explored for a
depth of thirty feet without finding its
end. 1t is supposed that the body is
lost in this watery cave. Further efforts
will be made to recover it.
Frank Brockway of Essex, a well
known river man, was drowned yester-
day. Brockway and Charles Comstock
of Hadlyme were working a small
yacht through the new bridge of the
Connecticut river when the sail boom
swept around, struck Brockway on the
head and knocked him into the water.
He was not able to regain the boat. He
was about As years old.
Yesterday morning a pair of horses
belonging to Mr. Manning, near Lebanon
depot, became frightened and started to
run near the depot. Upon arriving at
the railroad crossing they took the south
track and ran down the track about a
milo, passing over one culvert safely.
lhey were stopped by the station gang.
The wagon was badly smashed, but no
other damage was done.
Robert Chapman of South Lyme met
with serious accident Saturday and
one that may prove fatal. He was
working in a field near the track of the
Shore Line road when a heavy plank
from car attached to passing gravel
train became loosened and flying
through the air struck him with tire
mendous force on the shoulders. He
was picked up unconscious and taken
home, and it is reported is injured in
ternally.
Wilfred Geer, aged 8, was drowned
while bathing in the Connecticut river
just above the railroad bridge in Hart
ford, yesterday afternoon. The river
bottom at this point is very deceptive
and many boys have been drowned
there. At various points the shallow
water of the sand bar suddenly breaks
off into deep places. Into one of these
young Geer uuwittingly stumbled.

The mistakes of the compositor and
the short-sightedness of the proofread-
er were recently exemplifed in the
elaborate description of a wedding
party, where it was announced that "a
maudlin orchestra" discoursed sweet
music. What was meant was "man-
dolin orchestra" the ner- est wrinkle in
swelldom.

SEPARATED BY THE CHICAGO FIRE
Actor Frank L. Frayne Finds Sister and
Learns His Own History.


NEW HAVEN, July 28.-Frank 1.
Frayne, the actor, is summering in Sill
yer Sands, pretty bit of shore just east
of this city on Long Island sound, and
with him is E. S. Hasson. On Saturday
afternoon lady called at the house and
asked for a private interview with Mr.
Frayne. Half an hour later Mr. Frayne
introduced her to Mr. Hasson as his sis
ter, who had been looking for him for
twenty-one years She is Mrs j. o.
Cannon of Oshkosh, Wis.
Twenty one years ago Mr. and Mrs
Mccormick of Baltimore were spend
ing short time in Chicago. They had
their children with them, girl about
| 10 years of age and her twO-year-old
brother George. The father died sud-
denly of paralysis, and the children
were placed in convent in Chicago.
Mrs Mccormick died suddenly, and
on the very day of her death
the great Chicago fire broke out.
The convent in which the boy and girl
were, burned down and its inmates
scattered. The authorities sent the girl
to friends in Baltimore, and the mother
superior placed the boy in a private
family in the suburbs of Chicago, and
there he was found by the late Frank l.
Frayne, the trainer of performing ami
mails. He wanted small boy to assist
| him III some sensational situations. He
got possession of the boy and adopted
him, giving him the name Frank L
Frayne. Until Saturday Mr. Frayne
always supposed that he was the son oil
Frank 1. Frayne, ST. Soon after the
adoption Mrs Frayne became estranged
| from her husband and died. Hel
adopted son erected monument to hel
memory few years ago on which ii
this inscription: Deserted by all but
her loving son."
Frank 1. Frayne died some Tina ago
and on his deathbed instructed his
second wife to restore the boy to his
family, at the same time giving the de
tails of his adoption. His widow EN-
ployed help and finally succeeded in
finding Mrs Cannon. When the latter
learned of her brothers whereabouts

Kelly The Baker Says:

That owing to the low price of sugar, he
will begin July LIST to sell Two Dozen
Cookies for Fifteen Cents.
Kelly also says that he sells Flour, Sugar
and Bread Cheaper than any baker in this
country.
How is it that Kelly can sell cheaper
than other dealers? Because he buys di-
rect from the manufacturers and sells
strictly for cash.
If you buy Kelly's New England Bread
you will never bake. The same for his

PART III.
CHAPTER I.
A WEARY SEARCH.

Once again have struggled back to life-life which is death to me, an endless death of weary searching which brings no result. That for which l seek Is as far from me as though had never stirred finger in the cause I have so close to heart the cause which is never for one moment absent from my mind. Waking or dream ing have that one purpose before my eyes-to find her 1 have lost; to never rest until hold her ip my arms once more Restl An, when will that beP Are we truely apart for everP Did Pedro, God grant him mercy speak the truth when he said he had hidden my darling where 1 should never seek herr Was his evil prophecy then to come trueP Apart for evil! Never again to meet on this earthl No, no thousand times a day l say, as my search seems hopeless and 1 sink down in dreary hopeless despair only to drive away once more the doubts and fears, and to urge myself once more to my task AS though she were truely dead, Madeline Oakley seems to me to have vanished from the face of the earth. From that day where from my hand she took the vile drug and drained it to the dregs, from that time, when under it's strange influence for the second time she lay as one bereft of life before me, have not set eyes upon my darling. What hap pened immediately after my wild, mad rush from the churchyard never exactly knew. l was found, believe, lying help less apparently lifeless, just beyond the gates by some charitable beings who car ried me to the nearest town-the little fishing viIlage-for Blackwaters Towers was not many miles from the South coast, from whence 1 mad made my way previous to my first visit to the hospitable man. sion. Here then l awoke with the sound of the sea in my ears, 8 sound which we'll agreed with the tossing of my troubled spirit and the restless movements of my body. For weeks l lay prisoner under fever's iron hand, and even when free from it's shackles, so weak and powerless could scarce raise my hand. My nurses-Heaven bless them for their kindness-had to feed me last rise from my sick bed, so spent was 1 with my long struggle that the road back to renewed health was rough and very long. When at length able to look around me and answer the questions that were put to me, l found l was believed to be one of the not few victims of the terrible storm of the night on which I had been found-a storm which in its violences had brought destruction and ruin on that part of the country over which 1t passed to degree scarcely ever known before. Trees had been uprooted and blasted by the lightning, which had seemed fairly to rend the heavens from side to side, while the peals of thunder had themselves been so loud and prolonged as to actually deafeu one for some moments after the loud ro4l had ceased.

A little later was flying away from the city, crossed the Channel and was sleaming on my way to the address given me-to 8 little village in the North of England-where I was told I should ind the one man on earth who could give me a clue to this mystery. Andas I am carried along l say to myself over and over again, "It will be a fools errand again. Have you not often said to your- self, if Madeline is still living she would surely have let me hear from her in some way in all those three years? If this Is she, why has she not done soH Try as I will the question is one I cannot answer" And little later still 1 am under the roof of the fine old English homestead, in the drawing-room, from whence I can see the far ar,stretching garden, with it's beds of flowers and banks of laden rose bushes I-sitting-wadting calmly and quietly for what is to come next.
 How long I wait I do not know-then the door opens, and Gerald Linden enters a talL slieht-iRured young man. of singularly refined, delicate appearance, with a dark, handsome face, rendered doubly so by pair of piercing grey eyes.
 He responds coGrteously to nay bow.

TYPE FOUNDERS TO COMBINE.
The Long Talked Of Deal, Backed by Eng
 fish Money, About Completed.

4hc Long 1AAkSu OI Deal, Backed by Eng
 fish Money, About Completed.
 PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 9.-The long talked of type founders trust, worked up by an English syndicate, seems to be an assured fact. The deal is now believed to be about completed.
 All the type foundries of any conse- quencs in America are in the deal, with the exception of Barnhart Bros. and Spindler of Chicago, and perhaps two concerns in New York The smaller con- cerns, it is said, will be squeezed out of existence.
 In all the great centers the number of foundries will be reduced to a minimum. New York will probably have three Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston two each, Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis one, while the concerns in Kansas City, Cleveland, St. Paul and Buffalo will be closed down entirely.
 The first move will be to advance the prices.
