Sank in a SMamn.

While following a coon in Hamburg woods about 1 o'clock one morning last week James Wood attempted to cross a marsh and sank so deeply in the mud that he was unable to extricate himself. When it was light enough to enable him to see he discovered a grape vine hang ing above his head just beyond his reach With his gun he managed to pull the vine down so that he could grasp it, but he found that it was not strong enough to enable him to pull himself out of the mud by it. All day Wood clung to the vine, and when his throat would permit, he would send up a shout. Another night passed and the next morning broke with the unfortunate man still hanging to the vine. He was nearly dead from hunger and thirst. On Wednesday afternoon William Benton, who was i'll search of wild grapes, came across Wood and managed to pry him out with saplings. Woods strength gave out when his feet touched firm ground, and he was unconscious for several hours. The swamp is famous for the treacherous holes that are in it. Two years ago a man who went into the swamp in search of rhododendrons probably sank in the mire, for he has never been seen or heard of since.

How Is the Piano Business? |?

When customers in fact or prospective ask that question we at once come to the conclusion that they are slightly inter est ed and exert ourselves accordingly to make him or her more so.
 When an agent in the same line of busi- ness propounds the question with a grave countenance, our opini )n is at once formed that he is desirous of ascertaining the exact condition of the business in general, and answer him accordingly.
 Who creates demand for pianos and organs? Why good, live, smart agents. They are the intermediate, so to speak, between the manufacturers and the people. Into their hands is confided the delicate task of convinc- ing, if possible, the customers that they really need the instruments for social and their children. How often we are met with the argument that no piano or organ was thought of in their younger days, even as luxury, to say nothing of it's being a valuable acquisition and help to educa- tion. That is as thus far they have been able to make their way in the world without it surely the children should be content to do the same. Such customers forget that the progress of time is of any value to the human race. Could they have their way the world would be turned DdCk duu G10 pI0S6uU D0GLor advanced in the art of music than the preceding one, condition of affairs un- desirable. Such people are to be pitied rather than condemned from the stand point of one idea, like father like child Happily the fraternity does not number customers of that class in the majority and they usually find themselves left by their more progressive neighbors awaken ing too late to the fact that the neighbours child has by this very instrument of edu- cation far eclipsed theirs in the struggle for supremacy in the battle of life.
 To our brother agents we offer the sug- gestion that honor in dealing with GUS toner should always be above every other consideration. We never make state ments that it is impossible to fulfill, simply to gain point the better of your antagonists. But rather let us deal as be- comes gentlemen of an honorable pro fession keeping l mind the golden rules and selling our goods steadily on their merits according our competitors at all times the same treatment and courtesy ex- pected by every gentleman in honorable prosecution of business.
 To the people who are always our friends we should say, listen patiently; become interested if possible. Should, however, your patience be sorely | tried an easy remedy would be to inform | the agent that you have decided to make or have made your selection from the well | known and reliable house of B. Shoninge1 & Go, Shoninger or Weber piono, as the case may be, and are only waiting for the fall house cleaning to be completed before placing it in your home. Such course will save you much annoyance and secure you the best the market affords, beautifyine your home with that most desirable of all household effects, fine piano or organ. B. SHoNINGER &c Go,

1.-THE BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS.
| Republicans Almost Ready to Concede Mayor Baldwin's Election.

Republicans Almost Ready to Concede
 Mayor Baldwin's Election.
 In more than one respect this is the most remarkable election day Water bury has seen in many years. The cold. drizzling rain of former years is con spicuous by it's absence, having given way to day of intense heat.
 There are three tickets in the field and never before was such anxiety mani fested by the candidates. Considerable scratching and pastIng are being in dulged in, if reports are to be believed. Owing to the secret ballot it is impos- sible to calculate on the result as closely as in the old days when the open ballot was the custom, but conservative judges place the democratic majority at over one hundred at o'clock.
 Mayor Baldwin is receiving many re- publican votes; so is Chauncey B. Web | ster. On the other hand some demo- crats are pasting First Selectman Pin neys name over that of Mir Webster. Up to noon the vote was light. After that hour the democrats began to get in their work and more than held their own in every ward except the second. Here the republicans kept coming in in clusters and at 1 o'clock their majority was close to 200. At 1:15 o'clock the democratic slip writers gave out the following figures:
 First ward, democrats 272, republicans 279; second ward, democrats 200, re publicans 420; third ward, democrats 316, republicans 280; fourth ward, dem ocrats 551. republicans 142. Estimated democratic majority 1S9. From this must be deducted whatever Split tickets that may have been polled.
 At o'clock a conservative estimate was as follows: First ward, democrats 424, republicans 435: second ward, dem ocrats 300, republicans 52O; third ward democrats 45O, republicans 385; fourtt ward, democrats 841, republicans 231 Estimated democratic majority 444.
 The vote in the third ward will with out doubt be the largest ever polleC there. At 3 o'clock It was away ahead of last years record, with the balanc, on the right side of the ledger.

DEATH CAME IN A MINUTE.
Miss Annie NIahon of This City Killed
 in D Runaway Accident.

Miss Annie Mahon of This City Killed
 in n Runaway Accident.
 Miss Annie Mahon of this city, sister of Mrs w. c. Ramon, was instantly killed in a runaway accident, about six miles west of Hartford, at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 A party consisting of Misses Georgiana and Marguerite Kenny, Miss Mahon and John J. Dwyer started out from Hart ford in a twO-seated surrey to drive out to the reservoirs. All were in the best of spirits, and the beautiful reservoir scenery was enjoyed to the utmost. All went we'll until between and o'clock, when the party reached the hill near Wells Brothers farm on their return. As they were coming down the hill the horse suddenly took fright and started to run. Miss Georgiana Kenney was driving and with her on the front seat was MT Dwyer. They tried in vain to stop the animal, but it was beyond con- trOl.
 At this point Miss Mahon became panic stricken and thinking that safety lay in jumping, she threw herself out of the carriage. She struck upon her head on a stone, fracturing her skull and causing almost instant death. The horse ran only a short distance when the car riage overturned and the three remain ing occupants were all thrown out. Miss Georgiana fell beneath the carriage and was at first supposed to have been | killed. She escaped, however, as by a miracle, with only a severe shaking up. Miss Marguerite Kenney had deep cut in her head and several smaller cuts and bruises. MT Dwyer escaped with scratches and shaken up.
 l Word of the accident was sent to MT Kenney in Hartford and he immediately Ief,N .trN1S f1r. hIr flxT I< fore 9 o'clock the two daughters arrived at their home on Buckingham street. The body of Miss Mahon was brought in about 10 o'clock by Mir Dillon, who went out to West Hartford with the undertaker's wagon. The horse and carriage were left in West Hartford.
 Miss Annie Mahon, the woman who was killed, was about 36 years old. She was dressmaker in this city and had gone to Hartford to visit her sister, Mrs Kenney.
 There are two stories about the cause of the accident. Some say the check rein broke and Tapping against the horses face frightened it. Miss Georgiana says, however, that the check rein was not broken. She thinks the horse was frightened by a snake ir the road. The horse known as "Prince, was gentle one, although quite speedy and Miss Georgiana had often driver him before with perfect safety. People wiro live out that way say that there have been several runaways out there lately caused by snakes frightening the horses. The carriage was only partially mashed as the result of the accident.
 Miss Mahon lived in this city fol many years at the home of w. c. Ban non, and had wide circle of friends and acQuaintances. The funeral will bt held in Hartford.

Tapping the Wires.

A Valuable Colt Shot.

A few days ago a valuable colt, be- longing to the smith family at Magonk, was found dead in the woods, near the family residence, shot in the head. The colt had been missed from the pasture and the result of the search after the missing animal was as above. The death of the animal is not believed to have resulted from malicious purpose on the part of the person who fired the shot but to have been an accidental shot. The woods had resounded with the crack of rifles for several days and a stray bullet fired by some sportsman dld the business for the poor bonnie. The colt was held at more than S2,000.
