Center Street.-The Special Town
Meeting.
John Csssin and Thomas Kenney, with
the body of James Cassin, arrived here on
the $50 train Saturday evening. MI. Ken
ney stated that Cassin called on N. J. Ken
ney in New York on Wednesday and was
at that time all right, and also visited the
saloons of his two cousins, James and Pat
rick Csssin, in New York, Tuesday and
Thursday. On the latter date Cassin got
a $50 bill changed and had plenty of other
money besides. There seems to be no
shadow of foul play, at the place where he
took his own life, at least, as only few
minutes before his death he inquired of
the man at the ferry near by what time the
next boat left for New York. The cause
of the rash act will no doubt always re-
main mystery.
One of Hoey's hacks was down to fu-
neral in Hamden Saturday afternoon, and
on the way home, coming down the hill
"Quinnte," the drivers hat blew off, and
when he attempted to get it the horses
started on a run, which was continued un
til they reached the stables on Colony
street, where they arrived without any
damage being done to the hack, although
the horses were about exhausted, one of
them bleeding at the mouth. The driver
of another hack behind ran his horses to
try and overtake the runsways, but arrived
at the stables about five minutes behind.
The fire bell in town hall was sounded
about 1:45 Saturday afternoon and the
fire department responded bus it was found
that the cause Of the alarm was due to the
smoke coming out of the Baptist church,
owing to a new fire being built in the fur
mace.
Saturdays rain caused postponement
of the football and drove homo several
hunters who started out in the woods early
in the morning.
The blind crank who was arrested here
Thursday and was discharged upon promis-
ing to get out of town and stay out, got off
the 1:47 train Saturday and was notified
by Judge Hubbard, who was at the depot,
that he had better get on the train again
and he complied and went to New Haven.
