improvements in Fair Haven,

Mr.. William Gay, the New York pub
Usher, and wife, formerly of this city, are
stopping at the Tontine hotel this winter.
Mr.. Gay has been engaged in erecting
eight fine Queen Anne cottages on land
which he has owned for twenty-five years,
situated on English, Peck and Rowe
streets, half a block from Ferry street, Fair
Haven. Mrs. Gay has devoted her time
to calling and receiving her numerous
friends. The cottages are now nearly
finished and present very handsome ap-
pearance. The architect, David R. Brown,
has shown great taste in tho beauty of the
fronts, including gable porticos and bay
windows. The houses have Venetian
blinds, electric bells, set tubes, baths, wa
ter-clesets and fine hardwood mantels,
with bevel plate mirrors. The houses are
being finished throughout with hardwood
Drown ASH, including slair cases, hand
somely papered, and will have picture
moulding. Each house contains six
rooms, china closet, pantry, hall and large
chamber closets, attic and cellar, They
have lawn in front 60x1t0 feet.

PFRENDER,S DISAPPEARANCE.
The Lessee of the Waverly House Still
Missing.

Nothing authoritative had been learned
up to midnight regarding the fate of John
Pfrender, the Jesse of the Waverly house.
It is known that he has had some dif6ulty
with women of late and it is thought that
he has thrown himself into the sea and
that women was at the bottom of it. A
report from Milford last evening stated
that body had been washed ashore upon
the beach at that place and that it was
supposed to be the body of the missing
but an investigation failed to verify this
report. In Milford nothing had been heard
of the finding of body upon the beach:
About fifty men who were acquainted
with Pfrender spent all day yesterday in
searching the West Haven shore for some
traces of his body, but their efforts were
not rewarded with success. 1t seems
quite apparent, however, that Pfrender
drowned himself while undergoing fit of
dependency which followed protracted

Amos Williams, who lives in Middle6eld,
is over eighty years old and is living alone
with his dogs in small house situated on
the mountain near the old Middletown
turnpike. He patted one of his dogs on
the head while asleep. Awaking suddenly
the dog caught him by the wrist, severing
an artery. Williams was unable to stop
the bleeding, which continued all night.
He was considerably weakened when dis
covered by Deacon P. M. Augur, who sue
ceeded in staunching the flow of blood.

THE SITUATION UNRAvELED.

There Was a Woman In the AckriIl
Embezzlement Case-The Wife of a
Prominent observation-disclosures Pro-
ceedings Soon to FollOvv-AckriIlss
Case Continued.
The story connected with Thomas R.
Ackrill's embezzlement of $125 from his
employer, Philander Ferry, is another one
of those cases in which the wife of some
Mrs. Charles P Thompson, wife of the
member of that name of the firm of Platt
& Thompson of Orange street. Ackrill
has been paying her attentions for con-
siderable length of time and the husbands
suspicious were correspondingly aroused.
Private detectives from New York have
been busy for some weeks shadowing both
Ackrill and Mrs. Thompson. A detective
occupied the next room to them at one of
the local hotels, and this with other facts
coming to light led the wife to take her de-
parture for New York, where she is now.
She sent word to AckriIl that she was out
of money, and that led to the crime he
committed, but which without much doubt
he intended to replace. He met Mrs.
Thompson in New York and there was ap-
pretended by detective who was follow
ing the party in the husbands interests,
but knew nothing of the embezzlement.
Ackriu confessed this and was given the
opportunity to voluntarily return.
Ackrill was in the city court yesterday
morning prisoner, charged with the en-
bezzlement, and on motion of his counsel,
G. r. Hoadley, the hearing was continued
until March 2. Later he was admitted to
bail in the SUM of $500, F. H. Benton, .
brother-in-law, giving bonds.
Mrs. Thompson is a daughter of Ferris
Lake and is described as Of charming
appearance. She has moved in good soci-
ETY., and the home life, until quite recent
ly, was apparently of the happiest nature.
She has two young children. 1t is under
stood that her husband will shortly insti-
tute divorce proceedings in the courts,
basing his case upon the evidence secured
by the two New York detectives.
Mr. Thompson has been in NewYork for
the past two days, where his wife is also.
His mother is at his home.

New Haven wins from Hartford In
Close and Exciting Game.
The polo game at the local rink last eve
ming between the New Haven and Hartford
teams was very exciting contest and one
which thoroughly pleased the lovers of the
game.
The Hartfords Gagged the two first goals
and it began to look as if they were sure
winners, but a fercely driven ball went
through window and it. seemed to be q
bad omen for the Hartfords, as the New
Ravens had three straight goals to their
credit before the first half was up, and
the score ended to in New Haven's
| favor.
Woodtke played the game of his life and

very accurate in his drive for goals. The
rest of the team all played good game,
and but for the superb goal tending OF
Sword the score would have been larger,
he having 20 stops to his credit.

for Sullivan in the last half, but the
change did not materially strengthen the

A Cavern at the Grave.

n O0VeeAn ~ tho Gf0V0.
A startling incident occurred in connec-
ton with the funeral of William H. Nc
Donald in Bridgeport yesterday morning.
The funeral cortege had reached the ceme-
terry in Fairfield where the remains were
to be inferred, and the coffin had been re-
moved to the edge of the grave, when sud-
denly the earth at the sides of the open
receptacle caved in, almost completely I'LL
ing the grave. The cave-in was found to
be the fault of the grave-digger, he having
failed to place the necessary supports about
the excavation. The moist condition of
the soil and sudden pressure brought to
bear on the ground by the mourners who
stood about the opening had caused the
trouble.
The damage was repaired as soon as
possible by the grave-digRer returning
and again removing the soil. The last
rites Of tie church were then read and
the coffin wss lowered to IT. last resting

GRAND OPERA uOJTSr

"The Great Metropolis" opened last night
to ''standing-room only" The production
is all that has been promised, the scenic
effects being the notable feature of the
piece. It is without doubt one of the best
melodramas upon the stage. The cast of
twenty people is led by Forrest Robinson,
an actor of reputation, who has made the
character of Jack Holt a strong and care
fully rendered one. Miss Kate Blancke,
Miss Carrie Jackson, Miss ALTA Perry and
Miss Alice Mansfield present the chief fe-
male roles with much ability. Harry
Weaver as Will Webster, captain of the
Sandy Hook life-savers, deserves praise for
his work, as does Clarence Hermitage, who
assumes the role of Walter Mowbray. The
shipwreck scene and the rescue of the pas
sengers and crew by the life-savers was
finely produced.
