glar Escapes.
A burglar entered rear window of Al
bert W. Baldvin's residence at SO Ward
street at an early hour yesterday morning.
Mrs. Baldwin was awakened by noise in
the bedroom. She remained perfectly still
and listened for renewal of the sounds,
when suddenly man arose from the floor
and stood by the bed. After standing
there for . moment he turned and climbed
through an open window.
When he had disappeared Mrs. Baldwin
mustered sufficient courage to scream sew
eral times. Her husband jumped out of
bed and hastened down stairs into the yard
where he was soon joined by about twenty
of the male residents of the neighborhood,
armed with pistols, clubs, etc. 4 thorough
search was made for the burglar, but he
could not be found.

Mayor Sargent's City Loan Nearing
100000.

Mayor Sargent's City Loan Nearing
$4,000.
Papers in all parts of the state have ut
tered special commendation of Mayor Sar-
gents plan of raising funds for the use of
the city and have noted with wcnderment
and surprise how readily the money has
been forthcoming in response to his call
and the rapidity with which big rolls of
bank bills have been brought out from the
hiding places and put into circulation.
This has afforded a text from which. many
newspapers in the state and out of the
state have preached quite a financial ser
mon, as 1t gave 30 distinct and vivid an
object lesson showing why the national
currency is scarce in these days. The
New Britain Herald has recommended that
New Britain adopt a similar course to raise
funds needed there for city improvements.
The Hartford Times and Hartford Post
commented on the subject at some length,
and so also with many other papers in the
state.
Warden Newton of Wallingford Is con-
sidering the adoption of the came plan to
raise $13, 500 needed for work on the sew
ers. The borough is now paying 5 per
cent. for temporary loans when It has here
tofore paid At per cent. The Stamford
Advocate remarks: "If the proposed issue
of 500, 900 sewer bonds was offered to the
people of Stamford in amounts of 500
and upwards 1t might all be taken. If re-
ports are reliable, there is lots of money
here, locked up in safes and hidden away
by foolish, panic-stricken people who
ought to know that the local savings banks
are absolutely safe and sound"
Mayor Sargent's fund was increased S.
600 more yesterday. And he was kent
busy indeed during the entire time of his
Office hours in receiving the money and ia
suing the city notes therefor. At $50 he
took a second trip down to the County
bank, having 81 500 in bills in his inside
pocket to deposit, and up to date the
amount received on deposit is $4,000

to look rs If the whole 500, 900 viii be

wasps, but that was not to be thought of
when the merry voices were heard from
the barn by those who were still enjoying
dancing.

large oak rocker and foot rest by her
friends in honor of the occasion. After
wishing her many years Of health and hap

Her Brother Visited This City Yester-
day-No Trace of Her Whereabouts
Has Yet Been Secured.
John A. J. Orr of the Bridgeport Farmer
was in this city yesterday accompanied by
Detective Arnold in quest of new clues to
the whereabouts of his youngest sister,
Annie, who has been missing over three
weeks.
To JOURNAL AND COURIER reporter last
evening brother of Annie Orr, the
Bridgeport girl who has been missing over
three weeks, said the motive behind sew
eral letters received by Captain Birming-
ham of the Bridgeport police, and dis
patches sent to newspapers outside of
Bridgeport, seemed to be the fall advertis-
ing of a Bridgeport olairvoyant. He re-
gretted the fact that the family's misfor-
tune should be made use of in such a
manner. Mr. Orr further said:
sit is not true, as published in a New
Haven evening paper, that telephoned to
my brother in this city in reference to
conversation with clairvoyant. I am not
believer in that or any other form of su-
perstition. The facts of the case are that
my brother Frederick, who is employed at
No. 22S Shelton avenue, this city, heard
that a woman who Is visiting in that Sec
ton OF the city nso tolo some peo-
pie that she had consulted a
Bridgeport clairvoyant with refer
ence to my sisters disappearance.
The clairvoyant said that the missing girl
was at the bottom of well, but she could
give neither the location nor description of
the well. This and other reasons led my
brother to telephone to Captain Birming
ham late Tuesday night asking the captain
to request me to come to this city this af-
ternoon. My brother thought this would
be the quickest way to communicate with
me- 1t was this that was distorted into some
thing entirely different. If the Bridge
port clairvoyant or any other person claim
ing to be possessed OF powers not given TO
ordinary mortsls have any idea where my
sister is, they will be disclosing something
more than idle theory, not only relieve the
suspense of most distressed family but
do Something practical in the way of secur-
ing converts to their belief"
