some IecuIlar circumstances connected
With 1t.
The more the police study over the recent
theft of $500 worth Of jewelry from a. An
drews' Diamond Palace, on Montgomery
street, the more they are puzzled for clew.
Investigating officers say that it is a pecu-
liar circumstance that the opening through
which the burglars are supposed to have
gained an entrance from the cellar is less
than a foot square.
IAN ordinary sized man could not have
crawled through this hole" said Chief
Crowley yesterday, while speaking of the
matter. " 1t was most peculiar robbery.
Whom do we suspect? That we do not care
to make public at the present time"
1t IS believed that the thieves must have
been very small indeed if they entered
through the hole that was cut under n work
ing jewelers. closet near the front of the
store. Some say that it seems almost i'm
probable that burglars could enter the place
and make such a big haul while two watch
men were sleeping there.

sarlly larger because the force has been in
creased from fifty to sixty companies. The
third was authorized by statute of 1889,
which expired with the year. The eleventh,

also special appropriations, and of course
not now needed. For uniforms the appro-
priations were $4,000. and for 1S90-9l a re-
duced sum by $4,000 is asked only. The

Couldn't Throw Stones.

The gallant Colonel Osborne, of the New Haven Register, read an editorial paragraph in the Brooklyn Eagle and as was natural, he felt deeply pained. The paragraph was as follows:
 If you have travelled much in Con- necticut and paid any attention to the subjects you must have noticed that the Connecticut girls are not generally re- markable for physical beauty.
 Colonel Osborne's comments are very mild, more so than we would have in dulged in, but the fact must be borne in mind that he knows very little of the Connecticut girls as whole, and living in New Haven it would not have been policy for him to indulge in much ad- verse criticism on Colonel McKelway's ungallant squib. If Colonel Osborne had been an Ansonian, or Waterbur- ian, for instance. he would have good cause for just indignation at this un- called for slur on the brightest, best and most beauteous young women raised in New England.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

None of the New Haven pitchers were in condition yesterday and just before the game opened Manager Burnham succeeded in finding Pete Condoff, who pitched for Waterbury early in the sea- son and he was accordingly pressed into service and pitched throughout the game. He was a little unsteady in the first inning, but soon settled down and put up first class article of ball. The game was lost, but not owing to any fault of Condoff, as after the first inning he pitched winning ball and had he re ceived any kind of ordinary support the home team would have won the game hands down.
 New York has the best strike out record, 213; Philadelphia second with 236; Boston has the poorest record, BOA.

A New Britain Man Said to Have Been
 Lost in the Sound.
 While the steamer Elm City was on her way to New Haven last night with a party of excursionists from New Brit ain it was reported that man named David E. Orton had fallen overheard. Boats were lowered and search was made but no trace of the missing man could be found. The steamer then pro- ceeded on it's way. This morning the officials announced that in their opinion no man fell overheard.
 Harry Humphrey, the Unionville boy who received such a bad wound from the explosion of cannon on the Fourth of July, was reported last night at the Hartford hospital to be in very low condition. He has become very weak.
 Mrs Wiley, wife of Engineer Wiley of East Hartford met with serious if not fatal accident about ? o'clock yester- day morning. Her husband comes in on his engine about ? o'clock and Mrs Wiley usually gets up and puts a lunch on the table for her husband. Yester- day morning, instead of opening the door into the hall she opened the cellar door, stepped out and fell to the cellar bottom. MT Wiley obtained help and picked her up, supposing her to be dead. She recovered consciousness after some time, but is considered in very critical condition.
 John w. Street and his wife of Mont vile, while coming down the Thames river in a boat about Ii o'clock yesterday forenoon, discovered the dead body of man floating in the neighbor- hood of Bolles wharf. A rope was at tached to it and it was lowed to New London. The body had apparently been in the water but a short time. Investi- gation disclosed it to be that of John A. Miller, baker employed at Mantle, but how it came to get into the water is mystery.
 Joseph P. Ennis of Brooklyn had an ankle shattered while he was resting under tree Tuesday, an OK which was running by striking and discharging Ennis gun.

UNIQUE REVENGE ATTEMPTED.
A Hartford Mans Narrow Escape From 8
 EIocfric Shook

A Hartford Mans Narrow Escape From a
 Terrible Electric Shock.
 George A. Waddell, for some time past electrician of the Hartford and Wethersfield horse railway company, was summarily dismissed from the em- ploy of the company Wednesday. His dismissal was caused by his attempt for revenge and if he had been successful a mans death might have resulted. The superintendent of the shops, T. P, Steward, had refused to allow WaddelI to have exclusive entrance to small room called a laboratory and Waddell had connected wires so that anybody attempting to enter the laboratory would receive 800 volts of electricity. This power is more than sufficient to knock over and render senseless the strongest man. It is not sufficient to kill, unless the contact is long main tained, but in the workshop at the car stables the chances are that the victim in falling from the shock, would have struck his head against some of the big iron and electric machinery, or have been precipltated into the six feet deep pit filled with sharp iron, near by, and killed.

 STAMFORD, August 7.-The sensa- tional story which has appeared in several New York papers within few days regarding the alleged abandon ment of five years old boy named Dudley Leavitt, on a back road in Stamford, has caused the authorities in this place to investigate the story. They find that there is a man named Dudley Leavitt, who resides on the back road in Saltwater and who claims who is supposed to be in business in New York. As far as a man named Chute is concerned no one of that name has ever been heard of here. By many the alleged child abandonment is looked upon as a piece of blackmail. Nothing is known of Leavitt here, as he is but slightly acquainted with " of the residents of this section,

THE ROYAL ARK.
No Law By Which Defrauded Members
 Can Recover Anything.

No Law By Which Defrauded Members
 Can Recover Anything.
 Insurance Commissioner Merrill, of Massachusetts, says there is no law in that state by which the members of the Royal Ark can recover anything if the officers of that corporation do not see fit to give it to them. The certificates of that order do not promise anything. They say they will pay after maturity, out of such sums as may be in the treasury, Ca sum not exceeding $100." Placing limit to any possible payment is far from being a promise to pay sum equal to or even less than the limit, and the persons who hold such certifi- cates are therefore holding so much waste paper, as far as any legal holding of the corporation issuing such a certif- cate is concerned. These certificates ex- pressly state that they are issued subject to any bylaws which may have been made by the corporation, or which may hereafter be. made. Some time ago the Royal Ark passed bylaw in which it was stated that no matured certificates should be paid within forty days of their maturity. The order may as legally next week pass bylaw stating that they will not pay matured certificates within forty years of their muturity.
