THE KEY cAmE OUT.

Hut When It Did Special Constable | Henry Rocks Found Himself Under l Arrest-He Turned in an Alarm of l Fire Yesterday Hut Will Never Do 1t Again.
 Shortly after o'clock yesterday after noon an alarm of fire was turned in from box 36, and the fire department promptly responded to the alarm. There was no fire, and consequently there was no use for the department, but at the same time valu- able lesson was taught, and 1t is an assured fact that certain special constable will never again 'monkey" with the fire alarm boxes.
 Henry Rocks, residing at 55 Collis street and employed at the Consolidated yard, is | special constable of the city of New Ha- ven, and as such he is the happy poasessor of key to the fire alarm boxes of the city. Yesterday afternoon Rocks was showing a friend about the city, and in the course of time, about 4 o'clock, arrived at the corner of Bridge and East streets, where fire alarm box No. 36 Is located. Here he thought he would show his friend how the fire alarm system worked, and thereby hangs a tale.
 Rocks pulled the key out of his pocket and it was but the work of moment to fit it into the lock and open the box. He then explained to his friend the interior workings of the box and started to close the door, but try as hard as he could, he could not succeed in extricating his key from the lock. He worked for consider. able time to secure his key, but all hii ! efforts were unavailing.
 By this time number of people, among whom was the usual festive small boy, had been attracted to the scene, all being oi the opinion that there was fire and eager to zee how the alarm was turned in Among the crowd of small boys was one more precocious than the rest. He became | aware of the fact that the special constable was trying to extricate his key from the lock and saw in 1t chance to have little fun and at once made use of the opportun ity.
 eff yon want to get the key out you only have to pull the hook inside the box ana the key will at once come out" said the small boy to the perplexed special con stable.
 ''All right, thanks, |" said Constable Rock and the hook was pulled, wheE, to thu alarm and consternation of the constable an alarm commenced to ring in from Bo1 36. The small boy made his disappearance and Constable Rocks was left to bear tht approbium of turning in the alarm alone Soon the fire department was upon tn. scene, headed by Chiet Kennedy and Rock realized that he had made most greviou mistake.
 Constable Rocks explained the circum stances when the fremen arrived, but h. was held for Chief Kennedy. When th' latter arrived Rocks was placed under ar rest, charged with turning in false alarn . of fire, and taken to the Grand avenue pre-
 cinct, accompanied by Chief Kennedy Here he told the circumstances connected with the case, and his story appearing g, plausible, he was released, Chief Kenned! declining to prosecute. In the meantim the small boy who got Rocks into all tl trouble has not besn located, but the polio , and fire officials will make every effort t. apprehend him.

NOT AS STATED.

There Is No Scare over Hydrophobia in Westville-s The Milk From MO. ran's Cow Was Thrown Away. The report which appeared in morning paper recently concerning hydrophobia in
 Westville appears from later accounts to
 be somewhat exaggerated. These accounts state that the unknown mad dog, which
 was white bulldog with brindle spots and not a shaggy mongrel. slightly
 scratched the nose of Patrick Moran's COW, and did not bite 1t off. After the dog bit the COW he was immediately killed before he could get out of the barn by John D. Moran, and he did not rush out of the barn and snap the heads of of Moran's ducks and hens, as Moran has no ducks or hens.
 The fowls in question belonged to Tom Flaherty and were killed before the dog reached Moran's barn. The COW did not fly "through the pasture tearing up the
 turf and hooking posts and pickets," as the first report stated, but she was shot in the stable. which she never left, by Patrick Welch, who tore off the roof of the shed and killed her with a shotgun.
 Tho milk from the COW was not used by any of the inhabitants of the village, but was thrown away as soon ss milked, SO that there is no excitement in the village for fear of hydrophobia.

 The Third Concert by the Philhar-

Guilford, Cass and Felsburg and won a great deal of ap- plause. Miss Nellie McQueeney then rem dsred soprano solo, "Thou Everywhere" by Loohner, MT. Frank Fichtl rendering 2 voice of rare quality, and her effort was loudly applauded. The orchestra then played "Two Slavonie Dances" Dvorak), after which Master Robert Weber, of Bridgeport, rendered a soprano solo entitled Spring Tide" (Becker). His singing was the feature of the evening, He has voice as clear as bell and of fine tone. The orchestra then rendered Q grand selection from Ponchielli's NLa Gioconas," after which the string orches- tra played Labitzky's "At the Mountain Inn" and Gungl's "Sounds from Home" in most excellent manner. The next number was soprano solo, Madeline
 White), which was most beautifully rem (dered by Miss Nellie McQueeney. Master Willie Hagel, Messrs. Guilford and Fals- burg then rendered an "Andante and Rondo" duo for flute with piano accom- paniment, after which the full orchestra rendered Haydn's "Flnsle from the Fifth which concluded the pro- gram.
 The Dorscht lodge are arranging for 6 concert to be given at the Hyperion the l Iatter part of January.
