Boyle of the Philadelphias made his first
error of the season on Wednesday last.
The Clevelands have been able to keep

Killed BY The Cars at Danbnry.

DANBURY Conn, june 2-At7:2O 10 clock
this morning an unknown man was struck
by passenger train on the Danbury divi-
sion of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad about three miles east of
this city. The man was walking on the
tracks of the New York and New England
road which run parallel to those of the Dan
bury division. until the train got within q
short distance of HIM, when he stepped
directly in front of it. 1t is probable that
he thought the train was on the New Eng
land tracks. His head was badly
crushed, one foot cut off, and
he was otherwise injured. A letter was
found in his pocket which was addressed to
John Altekamp, 1875 Front street, Hartford,
Conn. Nothing else throwing any light on
his identity was found. It is believed he
was tramp. The body has been taken to
the morgue.

Bass fishing promises to be unusually
good Mt Quassapaug this summer. A few
gamcy specimens were taken from Captain
Richardson's dock last week. Several local
fishermen were out yesterday and, it is
said hooked several beauties before some
one came along and told them that they
were violating the law. They supposed
the bass law was off June l, when the fact
is that is the time it takes effect. 1t is a
violation of the statutes and punish BILE
with a S25 fine to take black bass in the
month of June, except from running waters,

A Noted Jail Breaker once More Behind
the BARS.

Robert Wilson Cooley, better
known as "Bob" Cooley, who es.
capped from the Jail in this city on the
night Of April IA, 1893, was caught
near Erin, Tenn, on the 9th inst,
and lodged in Jail here last Saturday
night. When he escaped he made his
way to Illinois and securing work
spent about year in that State
Sometime last spring he and a com
panion were arrested on charge of
robbery and arson and were lodged
in Jail. They had only been behind
the bars q few weeks when Cooley
again cut his way out and the two
made their escape. Cooley then
crossed the Ohio again and secured
job on the L., T. g. st. l.. Railroad
as section hand. He worked for the
company some time unmolested, but
his partner was not so fortunate and
was captured in a few weeks after
the escape, tried, convicted and is
now serving a two years sentence.
Later, however, Cooley was traced up
by detective and captured. An IL
linois sheriff came for him, paid a
reward of $50 offered by the State,
and securing requisition papers, made
ready to start back with his much
wanted prisoner. This was at Clover
port, Ky.,-and while the officer was
at supper Cooley sawed off the Jail
lock and taking it with him again left
without leaving a map of his route.
He drifted across the State to Ten
nessee, and about month ago he
landed at Cumberland City, where he
was employed in stave factory
While at this place his wife and also
his father wrote to him, but the le.
tiers were addressed to Sailors Rest.
As there was no one by that name in
that section the letters were forwarded
TO Erin and handed out to man
named John Cooley. They were
opened and Immediately turned over
to the Sheriff who arrested Cooley
the next day. The authorities here
were notified, but Cooley refused to
come without requisition and Dep
uty Sheriff Golay went down with
the necessary documents and brough;
his prisoner back without further
trouble. Cooley is charged witt
breaking open the stores of Long &
Brasher and l.. r. Davis, both al
Crofton, and there are two indict
ments pending. He will be tried al
the next term of court. In conversa.
