MAY GAIN MORE FAME.


Captain Bryan Z. Lynn Liable to be
Arrested in Ireland.
Captain Bryan E. Lynn, well known in
this city and throughout Connecticut as a
broadswordman and newspaper canvasser,
has started for visit to his native heaths
in Ireland. Lynn was formerly in the
British army, but was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for refusing to obey orders to
evict tenants in Ireland, and he has al
ways boosted that he escaped from a mill
tary prison and would be subject to a Sc
we're punishment if he should ever be cap
tured anywhere in the British possessions
in any part of the world.
He visited Ireland a few years ago. but
escaped detection by travelling in disguise
all the time. Whether he will go incog-
MISC this time is not known, but it is sup
posed by his friends that he will depend
on the United States for protection if he
should be captured by the British military
authorities and declared subject to the
punishment ordered for an escaped
prisoner. Captain Lynn may yet become
the subject of an international correspond
ence.

The Plan Of the Barcelona Anarchists Was
Not Fully Carried Out

BARCELONA, Nov. 16.-It is stated that
Judge Domenech has in his possession the
names of all the persons who were connect
ed with the bomb outrage at the Liceo the.
ater last week and that the culprits are
already in custody. It is said that the plot
was arranged by several anarchists. The
plan was one which, If it had been success.
fully carried out, would have involved
wholesale destruction of life.
Each of the plotters was to carry a bomb
into the theater and to station themselves
In different parts of the gallery. One of the
number was deputed to turn off the gas
lights, and at this signal the bombs were
to be thrown. The man who was to put
out the lights failed to find the meter, and
one of his companions, growing impatient
of waiting for darkness, threw his bomb
down into the stalls. Judge Domenecb
earned reputation as prosecutor by
stamping out the Black Hand criminal or
ganization in Andalusia some years ago,
and the prisoners will undoubtedly be
rigidly dealt with when they come before
him

Discoveries Which Have Been Made il
I-IlicarnSad

Discoveries Which Have Been Made in
Unlicensed Towns.
In no-license towns the question as to
what is most suitable to quench thirst
fostered by years of indulgence becomes
an urgent one. Those who have tried say
that beef tea with a liberal allowance of
pepper, goes far to satisfy long-felt want
Others pin their faith to Weiss beer and
claim that next to the real article there is
nothing like it. Again those who have in
dulged in root beer say that there is one
tenth of l per cent of alcohol scattered
through it, and on this account alone will
have a rapid sale.
Druggists have begun to work their
brains and one result is a connection which
bids fair to rival whisky in popularity
The peal of orange is chopped fine and then
stepped in alcohol. 1t is then put in a
press and the liquid which results is said
to be all that can be desired.

LOOK OUT FOR METEORS.


The Earth Is Passing Through One
Shower Now.
The November meteors are due. Be
tween the 10th and 18th the astronomers
tell us to look for them in unusual num-
beers. The earth at this time is passing
through a ring of small bodies which be-
come entangled in our atmosphere and are
consumed by the intense heat generated
by friction. This atmosphere, say the
wise sky-gazers, is a shield which protects
us from what would otherwise be an intol-
cradle bombardment
We may look for more November mete-
ors between the 23rd and the 25th, when
the earth passes near the path of Biela's
comet, which has probably broken up into
meteoric bodies. The meteors first re-
ferred to move very rapidly and will be
best seen in the early morning hours, radi-
ating from the constellation Leo; the
Biela meteors will move rather slowly and
can be best seen in the evening hours radi-
ating from Andromeda. The difference in
speed is due to the fact that in the former
case the earth meets the meteors coming
towards it, while in the latter case the
earth crosses the path in nearly the same
direction in which the particles are NOV

STARVED HIMsELFTo DEATH.
A Religious Fanatic Tried to Get Thin
Enough to Walk on Water.

KINGSTON, n. ", Nov. I6-Ira Krum, a
religious fanatic living in Snyder hollow,
in the Catskills, died there of starvation.
According to the verdict of the coroner's
jury, too much religion had unsettled his
reason. During the last few months he
became worse, claiming to have frequent
revelations from God. In one of these
visions, he said, he was promised the power
to walk upon water if he would fast 40
days. This he did, but still found himself
too heavy for the water. Then he prayed
and began another fasting period of 10
days. During this time he died with these
words to his brother, who is also religious
enthusiast, Dick, lam going, but we will
meet in the New Jerusalem travelling in
the golden streets" He refused all med
ical attendance and left six young children
without means of support

of Calvary Methodist Episcopal church

pastor, Rev. c. NJ. Bragg, had eloped with
Miss Ianthe Phelps, the organist of his

and will not return. Tell the children /
