BLOWN FROM A TRAIN.
Brakeman Curtis Narrow Escape al
 East Wallingford.

Brakeman Curt1ss Narrow Escape at
 East Wallingford.
 During the severe windstorm yesterday morning Lawrence Curtis, brakeman on the Air Line division, was lifted bodily from freight car by the force of the wind between and 4 o'clock at East Wal lingford and carried some distance away from the tracks. He was not missed un- til the train reached the depot in this city. An engine was then sent out to look for him, but no traces of him could be found
 Curtis reached the city on a passenger train at 9:15 a. m. He was very weak and had to be taken to his home, 120 Cedar street, in an ambulance. Dr. Whittemore, who was called, made an examination and found that no bones were broken and thought that Curtis will probably be all right again in the course of few days. Curtis, when he came to his senses, found himself on the platform of the East Wallingford depot. He has no idea how he got there, but supposes he must have dragged himself to that point while in a dazed condition. He boarded an east bound freight and rode to Northampton, where he took the passenger train bound for this city. His escape from instant death was marvellous.

THE POLO WORLD
New Haven Downs Meriden in a We'll Played Game-Whiting Plays Phe- nOmenally at Half-Back,

Played Game-Whfting Plays Phe-
 nOmenally at Half-Back.
 The New Haven polo team defeated the Meridens last evening in the local rink by the score of to g. It was by far the most exciting game played in the rink this sea- son. The New Ravens played Whiting, their new man, at haf-back and he was a revelation to the polo cranks who frequent the games, and round after round of ap- plause greeted his playing, which was of the gilt-edge order.
 The Meridens, who are in the lead, tried hard to win and succeeded in caging the ball twice in succession only to lose one of their goals by fouls made by Leydon and Smith. They were determined to win this game by fair means or foul and resorted to some very rough playing to accomplish their ends, but it, availed them nothing, as Referee Donnelly was wide awake and immediately fouled them. --
 The playing of Curley at goal for the Meridens was superb. No better goal tend ing was ever seen here, and he well de- serves the title of the ttking of goal tenders"
 Stub Reed did not have as many stops to his credit as Curley, but those he did have were very difficult. Hill, Newcombe and Woodtke all played fine game and were cheered again and again. Leydon and Gun ningham played the best game for Meriden. The score:

OF his last months salary. SIS, and their
three-year-old daughter Eva.
Mrs. Gangloff'S disappearance was not

some four or five weeks there has been
rooming in the house where they lived the
young man who has caused all the trouble
and their liaison has been open and bold.
She had not kept the matter secret from
her husband, and as far as the neighEors
were concerned she seemed to treat il as
matter of fact.
The husband tried to reason with her, but
to no purpose. The neighbors speak of him
as temperate, peaceable and steady man,
devoted to his family, and always kind,
indulgent father. When he reached home
about $50 o'clock and found what had
happened he became nearly frantic with
despair, and all who saw and heard bis

GOVERNOR MARKHAM.
Assurances of His Speedy Restoration t
Health.


Assurances of His Speedy Restoration to
Health.
Private Secretary Higgins on Thu rsday
received dispatch from Pasadena, stating
that Governor Markham is much better and
that all-the other members of the family are
well. 1t will be some days, however, before
the Governor will be able to resume official
duties, says the Sacramento Bee.
The Governor came ont of the war with a
bad wound. which wrecked to consider
able degree his naturally splendid physical
organization. He has been subject for years.
at pro longed intervals, to most severe nerv-
GUS headaches, which completely PROSTATE
him. The last attack of the kind. prior to
the present one, occurred in Chicago about
year ago, when Colonel Markham was con-
fined to his room for several weeks.
The sad circumstance of his daughters
death brought on the present attack. The
Governor was away from home when the
summons came, and the lonely ten hours
ride, the keen anxiety, the arrival just after
his loved child had passed away. completely
unnerved the Governor, whose health has
not been of the best of late. He is growing
better, however, and his many friends in
Sacramento will rejoice at the news.
