ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Edward w. Dawson of Orange Street
 Accused of Obtaining Money Under
 False Pretences-It Is Alleged That
 He Received Ninety.sfx Dollars in
 This Way-The Prosecution Claimed
 by His Friends to be a Mistake.
 Edward W. Dawson of 399 Orange street was arrested last evening by Officer Ste- vens on warrant issued by Assistant City Attorney Matthewman on complaint of Levi Hayne, an architect, charging him with obtaining money under false pre- tenees. MT. Dawson, who is 8 nephew of the late president of the New Haven Water company, was released under bonds of $500, furnished by his father-in-law, Willis Smith, of Orange street.
 Architect Hayne alleges in his complaint that Dawson agreed in October to borrow $4 800 for him from man named Smith, who resides in New York, and that on Oc- tober il he, Hayne, paid to Dawson in advance per cent. commission, amount, ing to $96 Since that time he claims that he has not received the $4 800, nor has MT, Dawson returned to him the amount ct the commission.
 MT. Dawson aud his friends, it Is said, claim that the arrest was a mistake and that the man from New York will arrive here in the course of day or two with { the money and everything will be all right. He also claims, so it Is said, that there was no intention of fraud in the en ! tire transaction, that 1t took longer to ne gotiate the loan than he had anticipated | and that he merely retained the amount o1 l the commission until he could secure the loan.
 Later in the evening Christian Yetter residing at 62 Mechanic street, stated to | reporter that he was the man who paic Dawson the $96 sI wanted to erect | building at Mechanic and Lawrenc, 1 streets" he said, ''and had to borrow | money with which to do it.

LAID AT REST.

Funeral of Miss Sarah Costello.
 The funeral of Miss Sarah Costello, who died Sunday of consumption, took place from St. Johns Roman Catholic church yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, when 8 solemn high mass was celebrated. There was some fine music rendered by the full choir of the church.

They were present in large numbers yesterday to pay their last respects to the departed loved one, and the many beautiful floral offerings told of their affectionate regard for the sleeper. Among the most beautiful perhaps were Tyre from the choir, pillow from the Persever- ance club connected with her Sunday school and wreath from Mir. W. Beck.

Valuable Horse Belonging to Dan-
 iel Cummings Burned to Death in
 Last Evening's Fire - The Loss
 About 1,5O0-AnOther Slight Fire
 on Pearl street.
 Shortly before o'clock last evening flames were seen issuing from the barn of Daniel Cummings of g Putnam street, and an alarm was sent in from box 16l. The fire department responded promptly to the call, but despite all their efforts the barn was totally destroyed and valuable horse belonging to MT. Cummings also perished in the flames.
 teamster, having completed his days lsbors, went to the barh and put his horse in it for the night. At this time everything in and about the barn was all right, nor was there anywhere the slightest trace of fire. About an hour later, however, MT. Gum mings noticed flames issuing from the barn, and an alarm was turned iu to the fire department.
 The members of the department after their arrival worked like beavers but the building was an old one and burned like tin- der. In the barn was stored quantity of hay and this added to the fierceness of the flames. Although every effort was made to rescue the horse, 1t was unavailing and the horse was burned to crisp. MT. Cummings loss will amount to about q 800, partially covered by insurance. The fire Is believed to have been the work of incepdiaries as there has been no stove or anything containing fire from which the fire might have started. a RuD1ER ROOTS BURNED.
 Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday the fire department was called to the house of Joseph Keyser, 36 Pearl street, by an alarm sent in from box 57. One of MT. Keyser's young sons put pair of rubber boots in the oven of the kitchen stove and these became overheated and ignited, causing Q quantity of smoke to be disseminated the house. This alarmed the inmates and an alarm was turned in. The fire was easily extinguished with no dam age.
