SKIPPED WITH HIS RIG.
iOne Man Who Found a Way to.Get Rid of a
Horse and Buggy.

A well-dressed man called at Allen & Neu-
spert's livery stable at McKee's Rocks nearly
a week ago, and hired horse and buggy,
saving he wanted TO drive to the city He
hasn't turned up yet, and the fellow seems
to have Cotton away with a tolerable sort of
a horse, set of harness and q new 500 buggy
1t would seem to be a somewhat risky
thing to steal Il livery rig, as the liverymen
have an association and brand which is
understood at the different stables, and a
rig would likely be scrutinized somewhat
closely at livery stables. 1t is supposed the
thief in question has unloaded on some per-
son who is not initiated into the freemason-
:ry of the craft.

TAKING A VERY LONG TRAMP.
Pitiful Story of a Baltimore Cisafmaker
Who Went Broke.


Who Went Broke.
Peter Press was the name given by tan
colored white man who called at Central
station for lodging last night. He was
ragged, dirty and a tough-looking specimen
of tramp seldom seen here. He said he was
a Baltimorean and cigarmaker by occupa-
tion. He had never been ten miles away
from Baltimore'in his life until about year
ago when friend induced him to go TO Gin
cinnati to work He had hard luck there
and got into a chronic state of rokenness
that he claims was new to him and caused
him to turn his face homeward-
He had not the nerve, he said, to try to
steal his way on freight trains and had no
money to pay his way on a sleeper. Thero-
fore he walked. He started three weeks ago,
and says he has been steadily on the go
ever since, losing much time by his lgnor-
ance of the route He declares he will walk
the balance of the way, as he is now rather
pleased with that style of excursion
He was given plank at Central station
and was snoring inside OF five minutes.

School.
The pupils of room 10, Wooster school,
gave reception at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, February "a, in commemoration
of the one hundred and fifty-ninth ami
versary of the birth of George Washing
ton. The exercises were attended by q
large number of parents and friends, whom
the pupils had previously invited. The
room was beautifully decorated. On one
of the blackboards was the figure of Gen
eral Washington and his favorite horse,
very artistically drawn by Miss Carrie L.
Thomas. At the left of this was the lib
erty bell, drawn by Miss Josephine Sulli-
van, and on the right was the first flag of
the Union, drawn by Miss Martha Moebius.
The large school flag was beautifully ar
ranged by several of the boys over these
drawings.
On the opposite boards were "The Sum
mer House at Mt. Vernon" and 'The Tomb
of Washington" very beautifully drawn
by Miss Josie Sullivan and Miss Carrie L..
Thomas. Other boards were decorated

which stood vase of beautiful roses. Be-
side the table were placed some flash
Toned chairs, which were occupied by the
Washington family. Master Harry Smell
represented George Washington, Miss Ada
Wilkinson Mrs. Washington and Louisa
Mack the daughter. Their apparel and
appearance represented well that which
was used in the days of Washington.
There was singing by quartettes and the
school, quotations, ETC., recitations, essays,
and reading by Willis Jennings. The
committee for getting up the exercises
were Josie Sullivan, Caroline Thomas,
Martha Moebins and Harry Smell.

A NEW WORK

OF Interest in New Haven, East Ha-
ven and Adjoining Towns.
Our townsman, Captain Charles H.
Townshend, has prepared and will shortly
publish valuable work of historic inter
est. 1t will be full and complete history
of the reservation of tic Quinnipiac In
dams, together with an account of their
habits and customs during both peace and
war, their implements of field and chase,
the disposal of their lands to the original
colonial settlers, their palisade fort, burial
ground, etc. With it will be an appendix
drawn up from an original early documen-
tary record of New Haven colony. Cap
tain Townshend has been for twenty years
during leisure hours collecting the mas
terials for this history of the Quinnipiac
Indians. 1t begins with the first
mention of Noremberga as the south
ern part of New England's coast
first known to the early voy-
ayers. Much of the data was collected
from numerous ancient documents OBJ
tanned in this country and in England by
the author. The history is brought down
to the close of the Pequot war, so well
brought out by Mason and Turner, the
latter of whom came afterward to New
Haven 70 dWell. II gives complete de-
scription of the reservation Of the QUINN
piac Indians as originally set off to that
tribe on the east side of New Haven har-
Dor; also abstracts from colonial records
of deeds and grants of lands from
the Indians to the early settlers.
including grants to Thomas Greg
son and Thomas Morris at Solitary Cove
(now Morris Cove; also of the Tuttle and
Townsend lands; also of the Woodward,
Brown, Rowe and Davenport estates as
they came from the Indians. The book
will also give description of the battle
fought on the Townshend property in the
New Haven annex, by the British, under
Tryon, when they were repulsed by the
New Haven colony militia. It gives also
an account of the Indian burial grounds
on Brown hill, and of the building of old
Forts Hale and Wooster. The book will
contain several Numbered pages.

Commissfoner states and City Engi-
Aeer H1u Adopt New Plan For
Top Hardening MAcadam1zedR Roads
Tho stone Crusher.
Mayor Sargent and Commissioners
States, Todd and Sullivan, the committee
on stone crusher Of the board of public
works, met last night and did some i'm
portant business.
If Commissioner States ideas are car
RED out, it seems probable that the city's
streets will be in better condition than
they have been during the past. Dust in
| dry weather and wind in wet weather has
been the bsne of riders, walkers and those
who live along the macadamized
streets. This is due, according to City
Engineer Hill, to the use of fine stone
dust and loan as top filling upon the
crushed stone. This fine dust is blown
| about by the wind and is the Hworst stuff
in Gods world" to have on street, rs
Commissioner States says. City Engineer
Hill has recommended in his annual re-
ports for the past two years that small
crushed stone, from the size of a walnut
to stones an inch in diameter, be used fol
top dressing, and that these be rolled
down hard by a heavy roller. This is the
system adopted in the large European
cities, and it affords pave
ment which is hard, clean, free from dus
or mud and one of the best that can b.
found ..- ..r.
The committee voted to adopt the recon
mendations in the future hardening of tn
streets and suitable alterations in the ston'
crusher to produce stone Of the needed
size will be made at once.
The committee on stone crusher recon
mended that the engine be sent to Row
lands machine shop to be repaired AM
that the boiler, machinery and other prop
erty be insured for three years in tn

A Favorable Report by Selectman

ton with the town poor buildings seems

less something unforeseen happens. At

lectman Fleischner, for the committee

port urging that steps be at once taken for

an examination made by the committee of
various warehouses; they would recommend
as model to pattern after the one at

At Cranston the inmates of the work
house do farm work and also work in the
stone quarries. He thought that there are
many le-bodied mon at Springside home
who would be made available for this sort
of work. Major Strong told of the system
in vogue at BlackwelIs Island.
LILO Coulau1btooS TopOTI WAS accepted
and the recommendations adopted. While
all the members of the committee were not
directly in favor of the building of work
house at present, they considered the &C.
lion of the town meeting as mandatory.

FROM A NEW HAVENER.
A Word About Our New Secretary o
the Treasury.

ING AIedSuEys
Regarding our new secretary of the
treasury, a New Haven citizen, Hon.
James M. Townsend was enquired of yes
terday bya COURIER reporter, and said:
'The new secretary, Ex-Governor Foster, I
have known personally a long time, sand
was well acquainted, and had business re-
lations over thirty years ago with his most
worthy father, the late Hon. Charles Eos
ter of Fostoria, Ohio, who believe owned
once most of the land where now Fostoria
is situated, and in honor of whom the
town was named. His only son, the new
secretary of the treasury, was associated
with his father in business, and is in my
opinion an honest, conservative man. He
has had a thorough business and financial
training, and been very successful, adding
largely to the fortune left him. He is q
practical business man, has a good knowl-
edge of men, and is man of courage and
decision, and is in my judgment thor
oughly sound on the financial questions of
the day, and I believe will carry out the
policy of his distinguished predecessor,
and make most excellent secretary of the
treasury"
Of the late lamented Mr.. Window Mr..
Townsend said: Gle was dear friend
with whom have had personal interviews
and correspondence for number of
wears"
