A Lively Runaway.

The horse belonging to L. L. Gilbert, the Elm street baker, and attached to light closed wagon, started to run on Dwight street, near Elm, yesterday afternoon. The horse turned into Edgewood avenue, overturning the wagon and throwing out, but not seriously injuring, the driver.
 The horse continued his mad rush until stopped in front of Dwight school by one of Smedley's drivers. The scholars, who were just out of school, quickly made away with the uninjured contents of the wagon, while the remains of the wagon itself filled the baskets and gladdened the hearts of some diminutive Italians who were out gathering kindling wood.

 of Seven Thousand Dollars Comes
 When He is Unconscious.
 MT. Nathan I. Nathan, @ well known business man, living at IA Dwight street, died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock after an illness of little more than 8 week. He was always of nervous temperament and his late financial endorsements caused by the failure of the Old Colony Distil- leries company, weighed heavily on his mind and made him an easy prey to spinal meningitis. He was unconscious for several days.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The Rev. E. HI. Lawrence Gives H Is Second Lecture in Marquand Chapel Taking India as His Subject. The second lecture of the course now being held at Marquand chapel was given yesterday. The subject was India. The lecturer spoke of the impossibility of do- ing justice to so vast and comprehensive 8 subject in the given space of time. The lecture was most interesting one, enliv- ened by many anecdotes of the lecturers personal experiences while travelling through the different provinces of India. He mentioned the "caste'' system as the underlying foundation of all Indian life, and then touched upon the various kinds. There are in all, including the political, religious and ethnological, more than 1886 separate and distinct castes in India, and these castes are so separate that the mem bers of one hold it dire pollution to inter marry or even eat with those of another. These castes range from the lowest class of scavengers to the holy and unapproach- able Brahmins.
 The speaker then entered upon the sub jects of the numerous forms of religion found among the inhabitants of India, and it was evident that he had made careful bAAA OAhouooASo oeoNy OA oAAC tASoO ol 4h- dian life. More than nine-tenths of the native beliefs are more or less devil wor- ship and entail the most vile and revolting rites and services. British influence is all that holds such homogeneous mass of different races, castes and religions to- gether.
 But now there is rapidly coming into existence and even greater binding force than the English army and that is the power of Christianity. The first step taken towards the establishment of new era was when the order forbidding the cremations of Indian widows was passed. In 1913 India was thrown open to the missionaries and has been rapidly rising in the socfal scale ever since.
 The great meeting of the Sikhs was de- scribed and the speaker went on to state that the hypocrisy of England in her treat ment of the natives was the one cause of the great uprising. ~'
 pr. Lawrence then gave an account of the different missions in India, their fourishing condition and the incalculable amount of good they were doing. In 1890 there were forty general missions, besides many private ones, and Christiani- ty is preached in fifteen different Ian guages.
 There are besides, many medical mis- sions, which in country like India prove to be one one of the greatest blessings. The Mohammedans are the most easily influ- enced, fully five times as many of that re- ligion being converted than the more big oted Hindoo.
 This lecture was attended by large au- dience, and the course is doing much to swell the ranks of the Mission Band of Volunteers, which was organized at Yale last year.

These include general course of training and an opportunity given for recita.ions and mu- tual exchange of ideas.

Entertainments. HYPERION THKATER.

The coming of Stuart Robson Tuesday next is an event of more than ordinary i'm portance. The high standing of the com
 edian is well known and the play of ''The Henrietta" is one which has secured high degree of interest wherever produced. Wall street men and their methods are
 most cleverly handled.
 The Jefferson-Florence company are
 too well known to require much heralding,
 but unusual interest is attached to their approaching visit on Wednesday evening next, October 2S, it being the last season of this comedy company travelling to-
 gether. Sale of seats opens this morning.
 The Boston Symphony company will
 appear at the Hyperion theater Novem-
 Der 2.
 Russell's Comedians in the ''City Direc-
 tory," will appear Friday evening, October 30. The play is one of the most success full OF the stage at the present time and
 has delighted large audiences in every city in which it has been presented. PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE. .-. Annie Ward Tiffany, the distinguished
 Irish comedy actress, will present her fa- nous creation of Peggy Logan, the faith full nurse, in her great success of last season, "The Daughter" Monday and
 Tuesday evenings. To the situations and lines given her Miss Tiffany does full jus
 tice, and the listener forgets that melo- drama rules and thinks only of the true !. Irish humor, the readiness of repartee and the genuine, whole-souled earnestness which the principal character throws into her part.
 The scenery of this production is an especial feature, notably the town and cliffs and the scenes representing an old country inn, and the drawing room of the millionaire. All are beautiful examples of the scene painters art. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. .-.-- "The Great Metropolis" one of the most popular melo-dramas on the road, was the attraction last evening. The house was filled to it's utmost capacity to welcome this popular attraction. The leading part
 was taken by MT. Barry Johnstons in the character of "Jack Holt" In the first act is some scenery especially designed by Richard Marston and painted by George Heinman. In the second act is an excel lent representation of the sea shore and lighthouse. But in the third act the inter est of the play culminates-th wreck of the Plying Fish" and the rescue of the most important witness, who was on board the ship, by the ife-saving crew. It is one of those thrilling realistic scenes which are becoming more and more popular on
 the American stage. The company is an
 excellent one, and the various roles are
 sustained excellently throughout. Doubt
 less this production will be welcomed by
 even larger house at this afternoon and
 evenings performance, which will be it's
 last here.

What Would Governor Jones Have
 DOnef

Owing to the temporary absence of Gov ernor Hill and the fact that Governor Fas- sett hasn't been elected yet, Edward Fire brand Jones has been acting governor of the state of New York for two or three days. ....-
 It would have been interesting, in case some Connecticut criminal had escaped across the state line during the time, to see what action Acting Governor Jones of New York would have taken on Acting Governor Bulkeley's demand for the crim- inals extradition.
 It is understood that Hills friends are not Jones' friends and it is perhaps assum- able that Jones wouldn't have been so strong in the defense of escaping criminals as Hill has been-Norwich Bulletin.
