As that officer did not appear promptly
upon the hour. the CaIiph. being impatient
of delay, called to him the shiek of the de-
tectives. Thomas al Taggart. and muffling up
their faces the twain sailed forth into the
moonlight which gilded In a soft glory the
domes and minarets of the city. They had
not proceeded far when they heard the
merry voices of children at play within q
courtyard.
The Caliph, feeling some curiosity to
know what these children were playing at.
raised his baud to caution his companion
to silence and sat down on a bench. which
was placed conveniently near to a door
opening into the inclosure.
AS he was looking ut them through q

 Results in Death.
 Mrs Rosa Gormley of New Haven, showed 22-calibre revolver to seven year old Johnnie Mccarthy, yesterday afternoon, and told him that she should use it to scare away some men who had bothered and frightened her. Johnnie took the pistol into his hand and pulled the trigger. The cartridge did not go off. He then pointed the revolver at the door in front of which Mrs Gorm- ley's five year old daughter, Name, was standing and pulled the trigger again. This time there was an explosion and the bullet struck Mamie directly over the left eye. Dr Cahill was called and extracted the bullet very easily. He thinks the clild will experience no ill effects unless inflammation sets in.
 Edward Slattery and Miss Mary J. Smith, both of Fairfield, were married in that town, Tuesday. About two years ago, Miss Smith was engaged to be married to Andrew O'Brien. All the preparations had been made for the cere- mony, but when the carriage carrying the expectant bride drove up to the door of her lovers residence he could not be found. A diligent search was made for his whereabouts, but up to this day nothing has ever been heard of him. It is thought, however, that he was sud- denly taken insane and committed sui eide.
 Hugo Broch, Black Rock grocer, jumped from a second story window while experiencing a nightmare We'd nesday night. He sustained internal in iuries which may prove fatal.
 As he was suffering from a sore on the side of his face Stanislaus Manowski, i, Pole employed by A. N. Farnam, at New Haven, took yesterday afternoon ''off" and went to doctor for treat ment. He was returning through Crescent street in company with a friend on his way to Mir Farnham's place near Beaver Pond, about three o'clock, when he was shot in the esabdomen with bullet. He heard the report but did not see where the shot came from. He fell to the ground and was raised by his friend. A man who happened to come along sent for the almshouse ambulance and Mankowski was removed to the hospital where the surgeons probed for | the bullet, but failed to find it. They now believe that the bullet did not enter the body, but struck one of the ribs at the upper portion of the abdomen and glanced off. Who fired the shot is not known, but everyone thinks the firing was accidental.

FROZEN STIFF IN DEATH.

The Body of Charles Fitzwilliam
 Found at South Glastonbury.
 The body of a man about thirty five years of age, was found, yesterday afternoon, lying in the meadow, near the steamboat wharf, at South Glaston- bury. Some distance away lay his vest, and about ten rods in another direction his coat and hat. The body was frozen stiff, and presented indications of hav- ing lain there several days, possibly Il week.
 From papers on his person, including a letter of recommendation from the superintendent of the Newark, N. J., Electric Light company, it is believed the man was Charles Fitzwiliiam who , on Monday, January 20, was hired by Superintendent Babcock of the Southern New England Telephone company, and set to work with gang of men repair ing the telephone wires on the line of the Valley Railroad, between Hartford and Rocky Hill. The men with whom he worked say that he was evidently suffering from the effects of dissipation and worked but few hours.
 Fitzwllliam was of good appearance, with light complexion, dark hair, slight ly gray and black moustache. He was well dressed, but had no money in his pockets. Death was caused by eX- posture. It is supposed that Fitzwilliam belonged in New Jersey or Penn sylvania.
