AS train No 5, on the New England
road, Conductor E. S. Cowell and
Engineer Bean, due at Willimantic
from Boston at $3.50 p. M, was coming
down the grade about a mile east of
that city, about twenty-five minutes
late last evening, it struck and instantly
killed Lucius II. Cross of North Wind
ham. Mr. Cross was on his way home,
walking the track, and, doubtless be-
came beWildered on account of a freight
train approaching on the east bound
track, and stepped in front of the pas
Senger tram, which was going at very
high rate of speed. He was II years

George Bump, an eccentric resident
of North Lyme, attempted to put a head
in cider barrel Friday. He put his
deaf and dumb son, aged years, in the
barrel to hold up the head. Soon the
barrel was headed and Bump went off
into the field forgetting his son. His
wife, missing the boy, asked for him
and Bump knocked out the head of the
barrel. The boy was found breathing
through the bunghole, but was fright
eDed into a spasm. Bump was arrested
and afterward released.
Josie Hayden of Mystic, small boy,
while fishing on the opera house dock
yesterday, lost his balance and fell into
the water. Without doubt he would
have been drowned had not the cries of
his little playfellows drawn the atten-
ton of a passing gentleman to his posi-
ton. The man was Alfred Hagan, well
known in Philadelphia, who is spending
the summer in Mystic. He took off his
coat and plunged into the river and
SWAN to the half drowned boy. He
raised his head out of the water and
supported him until boat which had
been manned came to the rescue. The
boy was in bad way when placed on
shore but the physician brought him
around all right.

ACROSS THE TRACK.

Discovery of n Railroad Tie Believed to
Have Been Placed by Tramps.
About half past one o'clock yesterday
morning as Constable Hall of East Nor
walk, was walking along the Consoli-
dated road he discovered tie across the
east bound tracks. 1t is supposed to
have been placed there by two men who
were seen tramping along the road
shortly after the Boston & Shore Line
express passed East Norwalk. Constable
Hall removed the obstruction and mott
fed the track walker of what he had
seen. They walked over the line to-
gether, but nothing could be found that
would lead to the discovery of the per-
sons who placed the tie there. Later
Mr. Hall found two tramps sleeping i'll a
freight Car and took them to Norwalk.
1t is not probable that they had any
thing to do with placing the obstruction
on the track, however, as they were
partly undressed and sleeping soundly
when found

ADJUSTMENTS.
"An American Boy"


can American Boy" will be produced
at the opera house tomorrow night.
The play departs from the old style
dramas of the past and stands out
manly and bold without pistols, theft,
or dime novel sensations. Music is a
special feature of the performance, in
Producing through the acts, ''The
American Boy" trio The Union quar-
tette original songs, novel dances and
refined specialties.
"The Danger Signal"
Miss Rosabel Morrison's new play,
''The Danger Signal was presented at
the opera house last evening, before a
fair-sized audience. For those who like
the melo-drama with a wild west flavor
the play answers all requirements, and
although the story follows the we'll
beaten paths, the scenic effects, when
by practice they can be properly
manipulated, will wonderfully add to
the interest and excitement. The play
is IN the hands of a very fair company
although to most minds George w. Bar
NUNS conception of the part of Ned
Farley is off color. In the first three
acts the audience was in doubt as to
whether he was to be regarded as the
villain or hero. The drama has con-
siderable merit, but as yet it is in the
rough.
''1Ioney Mad.''
The famous sensational drama,
"Money Mad,' by Steele Mackaye,
whose success was so recently en-
phasized by its long run at the Standard
theatre, New York, will be the at
traction at the Jacques opera house
Friday and Saturday nights. Manager
John j. Collins, under whose direction
the play will be presented in this city,
promises all of the original scenery, and
that the production i'll every way will
be the same as it was in New York.
On account of the heavy and compli-
Gated nature of the mechanical part of
the scenes, two sets are carried, one to
be sent on ahead to be put in readiness
on the stage.

The Art of Advertising.

A writer in the American Cabinet
Maker and UphOlsterer has very i'll
teresting article on the above subject.
He says the newspaper offers the surest
and easiest road to success, and says of
a Waterbury business man: John
Moriarty of the Waterbury Furniture
Co has a novel way of reaching the
newspaper readers of his town and at
the same time attracting them to his
store. Some time ago he addressed All
open letter to the reverend clergy
which attracted considerable attention
not only in Watrri ury, but thro ghC IL
the country. A few months 20 he ad-
vertised that he would have IA baby show
in his window on a certain Saturday
night, and when the curtain was raised
there seated in an elegant baby coach
was the latest addition to Johns family,
and he says it was a great show. At
any rate he attracted attention to his
place, and i'll seven years he has built
the business up from very small affair
to the largest in Waterbury" Then
follows Mr. Moriarty's open letter to
Charles A. Dana, the Beuedict Arnold
of the nineteenth century.

From Prison to Matrimony.

MYSTIC, August ga few years ago
Daniel Stanton and Fred Nash were
schoolmates at the Mystic institute
Both young men became enamored with
Miss Garthe, a pretty school teacher in
the institute and both from being
friends began to drift apart. Stanton
feared Nash and it is believed that he
ccncocted the plan to get him out of
the way. Stanton invited Nash to go
on pleasure trip to the cities with him,
which was agreed to by Nash. Arriving
in Philadelphia both young men took a
ride to a recluded portion of the city and
Stanton returned alone. Nash was
found lying on the road suffering from
bullet wound which proved fatal, and
he died in few days. Stanton was ar
rested and sentenced to a term of years
for manslaughter. Upon his release a
few days ago be came back to Mystic
and finding that Miss Garthe was still
true to him decided to marry her and
they are now living quietly as man and
wife

IT is said that the Union Cord
age Company, of New York, which
is the cotton bagging trust, under a
new name, is about to succeed in
absorbing all the Georgia Alliance
exchanges, which were formed for
the express purpose Of making war
upon the bagging trust. The
Georgians have been called the
" Yankees Of the South because
of their business shrewdness, but if
they allow themselves to be caught
in this trap they will forfeit that
name.

THOSE people who suppose that
Senator Quay's retirement from the
National committee was but the
preliminary step towards his re
tirement from politics are away off,
if his friends are posted. One Of
them said: "Senator Quay was
never so much in politics as at this
time. His resignation from the
National Committee was but the
laying down of a national burden in
order that he might give his entire
and undivided attention to carry
ing the State of Pennsylvania for
the Republican party this fall, and
it would not surprise me should he
accept the craftsmanship of the
State Committee, in order to be in
position to make the fight just as
he wishes. ]"

IT has been charged by those who
know nothing about the subject
that under the present. administrs-
ton there has been a great reduc-
tion in the per capita circulation OF
money. Wild talk proves nothing,
but here are the official figures, as
shown by the books of the Treasury
Department In 1860 the amount
per capita in circulation was $685.;
in 1865, $2O.82; in 1885, $23. OF;
while on the first Of January, 1891,
it was 1924. 10, which was larger
than ever before in our history.
Owing to heavy shipments of gold
to foreign countries during the
present year it had, on the first OF
this month, slightly decreased, be
ing 1913. 81.

WITH their usual love of misreF-
resentation the Democrats have
now started a story that the friends
of Secretary Blaine will not give
Major Mckinley cordial support.
There isn't an iota of truth in the
story. as it is a well-known fact
that neither Mr.. Blaine nor those
Republicans known as his friends
have ever done any party sulking,
notwithstanding that Mr.. Blaine
was made a victim by reason OF
that propensity in others in 1884.

A CHANGE

With this issue the TELEGRAPH
COURIER passes out of my hands.
For four years I have done my work
as an editor in Kenosha, striving to
further the welfare of the city and
it's citizens. During this time the
circulation Of the paper has more
than doubled, and the business is
nearly three fold what it was the
first year. I wish to thank very
sincerely and heartily the business
men Of Kenosha, for their constant
Friendship and patronage, and as
sure them that it has been appreci-
ated thoroughly The thousands
of friends and patrons all over Ke-
,nosha County, andi in fact the United
States, have also been loyal and
helpful and I think as class, the
people who take the TELEGRAPH
COURIER have not their superiors
on any subscription list in the
country. The new proprietor is as
fully equipped for his work as |
was poorly. It was slightly pre-
sumptuaus in young man with no
experience whatever as a printer
or editor TO undertake to compete
with the older heads in the business
here. MY only qualification for the
position WAS loyalty to what | be-
lieved to beright
Mr.. r. TEL. Hall, the new proprie
tor, comes to his work fully
equipped with successful experience
both as an editor and printer. The
remarkable success Of the Decatur
Ill.) Herald, which under his con-
troll reached a daily circulation
twice as large and weekly circu-
lation three times as large as that
of any paper in Kenosha, is evil
dence of his energy and ability.
He is also part owner ia one of the
largest and most prosperous job
printing houses in Chicago. Not
only is be a successful business man,
but he is a good Republican and a
gentleman from the ground up. I
feel perfectly confident that he will
give the readers Of the TELEGRAPH
COURIER a better paper than was
ever published in Kenosha County
ana give the community the moral
force OF a clean, loyal, ably edited
journal ! bespeak for him the
same courtesy and consideration SO
kindly extended to me, and can
assure my old patrons of the most
courteous and careful attention to
their wants, when they favor him
with their orders. Again thanking
my patrons and friends for their
kindness in tne past, ] am yours
very truly,
L. A. CAss.
