A MUCH MARRIED MATTER.

Queer Mixing Up of Matrimonial
 Ventures-Novvt the Trouble Comes.
 NoRwALK, May 14-About ten years ago John J. Hampson, a natter, who has worked in South Norwalk, married Annie Convey in Orange, N. J. He left her shortly afterwards and came to Norwalk where he lived with a woman he claimed as his wife. She was taken seriously sick about three years later and Hampson took Mrs. Rose Carleson from the almshouse to keep house for him. Shortly after this the sick woman died. Hampson continued Mrs. Carleson as his housekeeper and by her had two children. During that time he met Miss Sophia Perry, daughter of Jo- seph o. Perry of the Peoples Industrial Life Insurance company. Hampson rep resented to Miss Perry that his first wife was dead and that the woman with whom he was then living was his cousin. She believed his story and on September, 7, 1890, they were married. About three months later she learned of his per6dy and left him. Yesterday afternoon Hampson's first wife, hearing of his matrimonial ex periences, came to this place. Mrs. .Hamp- son No. returned to her home last night. Two weeks ago Hampson came to Norwalk and took his son away. Both of the Mrs. Hampsons will apply for divorce. Hamp- son is about thirtyfour years of age.

AN UNKNOWN FATHER.
Superintendent BOllman Receives
 Peculiar Letter From California.

Superintendent BOllman Receives a
 Peculiar Letter From California.
 A letter was received by Superintendent Bollman yesterday from Vallejo, Cal. It was written by young girl named Annie J. Oddly, who wished to find some facts concerning her father, Harry James Oddly, whom she had never seen. She stated in the letter that her father had deserted her mother four months before she was born and of him nothing since had been known. The writing of the letter was caused by some accidental information which had been gained from sailor to the effect that 8 man answering to the fathers descrip ton was living in New Haven with a wife named Josephine, who was of Scotch de- scent. She wished to have someone here consult the marriage record since 1875, and enclosed dollar for the same. The letter was very prettily written and showed much anxiety on the part of the writer No such name has yet been found on the record.

EGYPTIAN MUSIC.

pr. Stoeckel in osborn Hau-ChArac. ter of Egyptian Musfe-varieus In- struments-A Treat for the Next Lecture.
 Professor Stoeckel lectured last night to. the Yale students in Osborn hall on Egyp- tian music. We give brief abstract of his lecture:
 Egyptian history begins with mythical deities as their first rulers. The music came from their gods. No alteration for better or worse could take place, and this conservatism is evidence at least of de- sire to preserve their ancient melodies, yet it is almost incredible that they have pre- served for thousands of years the same tunes as their ancestors. The character of the older Egyptian music is solemn and even austere. The Egyptians are classed l as Semitics rather than Aryans and the re- semblance of their music is amply exem- plified by comparison with that of the Hebrews.
 "Other monuments stand for ages, but here has music great disadvantage te contend with, for melodies are but chil. dren of the moment, and there was nc sure way of preservation for tunes. The papyrus their only means was all too per 1 ishable. Some of their melodies they be- lieved were brought to them by Isis Among their forty-two books of wisdom there are two books for song. Music con stituted the principal exercises at funerals and strange to say, instrumental music Vocal music was only occasionally used In times of war drums and trumpets were used. These with the harp were intro duced by the Hyksas or shepherd kings They had the oldest authentic harp wt know of. It was at first monachord, af terward of four strings, and later larger number of strings were introduced. II was bow-shape, and at first without sound ing box.
 1.The seven-stringed Tyre, the lons diagonal flute, and the lute were mucl used instruments. On these the priest' were accompanied while sacrificing, thu | prayers kneeling.
 "The trumpet was of shril penetrating sound and used only for signals. Drum are mentioned in exodus as timbrels.
 Dr. Stoeckel then spoke of the music oi the Americans and the valley of tn Euphrates. The next lecture (date not ye given) will deal with Hebrew music, tha nearly allied to the Egyptian, and MT Shoninger will also render an ancient He brew melody, together with Meil Treulich Herz" The lecture was well il frustrated by the stereopticon.

On Her Summer Cruise.

The old schoolshlp St. Mary's has started on her summer cruise. She has seventy five pupils on board. Since Commander McGowan took charge last January several changes will be made. In future winter cruises will be taken. The schoolship will sail in the early part of December and will return in April after cruise in the West Indies. Instead of devoting the winter to study, as formerly, the students will be required before admission to have know ledge of the lower English branches, and the lessons taught on board will be almost wholly those of seamanship and naviga- tion. There are able-bodied sailors aboard and their chief duty is to direct and in- struct the boys. The old St. Mary's went into commission as sloop-of-war in 1S44, but her battery of eight four-inch guns has been put ashore by Commander McGowan as of no use

The Shad,

A Windsor Locks letter in the Times says over two million shad eggs were placed in the Connecticut river at Warehouse Point this morning. They were brought from the Potomac and Susquehanna riv- CTS, where the shad were matched in water at 65'-and the letter asks if 5e', the ac- tual temperature this morning of the Con- necticut river opposite Windsor Locks, will be safe for such an experiment. This is "a question to be asked;" and another question is, ''Is it worth while for the fish commission to try to keep up the Connec- ticut river supply and furnish shad as fast as the pounds along the sound shore. west of the river, can gobbie them upa"' For nobody else is permitted to get any of the shad that used to swarm by the mil lion in Connecticut river. Is the law re- spected, as to open hours, by these 'pounds?" Hartford Times.

PRETTY NEARLY RUN DOWN.
An Exciting Little Incident Which Happened Last Night on the Church and Chapel Street Corner.

An Exciting Little Incident Which
 Happened Last Night on tho Church
 and Chapel Street Corner.
 Almost serious accident happened last evening about 9 o'clock on the corner of Church and Chapel streets. The police patrol wagon was coming down Church street toward the headquarters at rapid pace and when it was about in front of Longley's clothing store an old lady was crossing the street from the Chapel street corner. Just as she reached the center wheelman on a safety, who evidently was not an expert, turned that corner, coming down from Chapel street, and collision ensued. For moment it looked as though either one of the party would be run down by the police wagon and those standing on the sidewalks held their breath. But the wheelman, hastily dismounting from his machine, escaped one side and the lady, as quickly recovering from the confusion caused by the sudden appearance of the bicyclist, just managed to get out of the way on the other side as the wagon dashed by. The whole affair lasted but a moment, but in that brief space of time there was not little of painful excitement.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The Madison Square success, ''Bootles' Baby" was presented to good sized audi ence last evening. The company is an ex- cellent one and rendered their parts in good shape, but the bright particular star was little Josie Arthur as the baby at eight years of age with songs. The child is one of the brightest and prettiest of the child actresses and is great fsvorite. The play is essentially one of sentiment. One is won by the artless prattle of the baby, and by the great-hearted manliness of Bootles. The same play will be repeated this and tomorrow evenings and to-mor- row afternoon.
