LOVE.SICK SUICIDE,

Died at His SWeetheart's Window ROCKVILLE, July 1S.-William Spielen berg, aged twenty six, residing on Prospect street, this city, committed suicide at the window of his sweetheart on the mountain in Ellington at o'clock this morning.
 Spielenberg some few weeks ago formed the acquaintance of the fourteen year old daughter of H. Bueck, tailor doing busi- ness on Main street in this city, but resid- ing on the mountain. The girl was un- usually attractive, and Spielenberg had been seen in her company often. This was not approved by MT. Bueck, who thought his daughter far too young to re- ceive the attention of any young gentle man. Spielenberg, however, was greatly enamored and persisted in his attentions.
 Last evening he called at the house of MT. Bueck and inquired for the girl. He was refused admission to the house by her father, and fingered about in the vain at tempt to get her to come out and see him. This she did not do.
 After waiting until about 1 o'clock this morning he climbed upon a rock overlook ing the window of the room in which the girl slept, drew a revolver and discharged the contents of one of the chambers into his head, killing himself instantly.
 Coroner Phelps was notified, and after Investigating the case pronounced it un- doubted suicide.
 Spielenberg bore good reputation but was crazed by the non-success of bis suit.

MAJOR TIBBITs DYING.
All Hope of His Recovery Has Noy
 Keen Gfvera

All Hope of His Recovery Has Now
 Been Given Up.
 NEW LONDON, July 1S.-The condition of Major John A. Tibbits has very much changed for the worse in the past twenty four hours. He has gradually been failing for weeks past, it was apparent that his case was hopeless and notwithstanding he was hopeful of mending under the in- fuence of his native air and the presence of his lifelong friends, yet the hope was not verified.
 His medical attendants have given no en- coursgement from the first, though there was chance, in their opinion, that he might survive weeks, or even months. For several days past Major Tibbits has been feeling badly and has been growing weaker daily, and-at present he is in a semi-con- scious condition and unable to recognize those about him.
 He has surmounted physical disabilities for SO many years that would overcome anyone with less strength of will and cour- age that his friends have hoped against hope, but there seems no further ground to base hope upon.

The Chief of the Bridgeport Fire De-
 partment.
 BRIDGEPORT, July 1s.-Chief Beardsley of the fire department rendered his resig- nation to the commissioners this afternoon and it was accepted. The council voted recently to increase the salary $1 ,00O, but under the charter an officer of the city can not accept an increase in salary while hold ing office. The plan of Chief Bsardsley was to resign and be reelected at once. When the election of chief to fill the vacancy took place immediately after the acceptance of the resignation there was a great surprise. Instead of the choice being Beardsley 1t was Captain Palmer of en- zine company No. 1. There was some hustling by the Beardsley men, and Palmer refused to accept the position. Later Beardsley was reelected, and will now re- csive $1,000 more each year.

LAST NIGHTS SHOWER.

A Terrific Wind, Rain and Hail Storm at Hartford-Trees LeveIIed-
 Roofs of Tenement Houses Blown on.
 HARTFORD, July 1S.-A terrific wind, rain and hail storm struck this city about 5.50 this afternoon and did considerable damage. In the eastern part of the city the wind blew perfect cyclone, levelling trees and blowing off the roofs of three tenement houses, as we'll as carrying off everything movable that offered any re- sistance to the wind. Luckily there were but few people in the houses on Avon street which were struck by the cyclone and no one was seriously hurt. The wind carried the roofs and debris into the streets below leaving the tops of the houses open. All of the houses were fat-roofed and were tenanted by six families each. Had the wind struck them when the men had re- turned from work about half an hour later there must have been many fatalities. The rain fell in torrents and was preceded by @ heavy hail storm, which must have done great damage to the tobacco crop in the country north of the city. The lightning was also sharp, but no great damage Is re- ported.
