a decayed vegetable for a year or
two. he lost all self-respect and went
to the dogs at a rapid rate. His asso-
ciates were the worst in town and
bad company eventually got him into
trouble.
One night while engaged in an
angry controversy with several other
CANNES, the peace was fractured to
such an extent that blood thirsty
citizen discharged fowling piece
into the crowd. 1t was Rondo's mis-
fortune tocatch part of the load and
one of his fore legs was broken. The
next morning he was found on
the street drawing the wages of sin.
He had nowhere to go, and no friends
to appeal to in his distress.
An old colored woman found
him and carried him to the
home of Col Charley Thompson, who
took him in and proved to him a
friend indeed. He put the broken leg
in a sling and doctored it for weeks
until Rondo was once more restored
to health. Col. Thompson intro
duced him to his friends and Rondo
once more found himself in good so
ciety.
Rondo accompanied his new master
on several journeys and acquired
taste for travel that he has never
been able to resist. He has been all
over the state Of kentucky as well as
having visited many Of the largest
cities in the country. On one Of his
earliest trips he was forced to leave
the coach and travel in the baggage

livery school boy
in the quaint old town of Sebree,
KY, knows Rondo, and there is no
exaggeration in saying that Rondo
has a personal acquaintance with
more people than the average politi-
cian
The early part of Rondo's life is in
volved in some doubt and "a great
deal of obscurity. 1t is known, how
ever. that he first saw the light of
day in the manger of a livery stable
in 1855, and as he sprang from Scotch
English ancestry everything in the
shape of a rat he beheld from the
very first with violent antipathy.
He soon made himself terror to the
rodent family, and his accomplish
ments in this direction led an admir-
ing Kentucky gentleman to adopt
Rondo and take upon himself the
the supervision of his care
and training, hoping that "age
would perform the promises of
youth. The two soon became
conspicuous about town, and their at
tachment for each other sometimes
caused the boys to sing Comrades
as they passed along the street.
In year or two Rondo succeeded
in DISCRIMINATING all the rates within
his reach and then became a living
example of the adage that IAN idle
brain is the DEVILS workshop He
began to form bad habits and became
frequent visitor of saloons. gambling
rooms and other such places, setting
such pace that his admiring bene-
factor did not care to follow, aud the
two began drifting apart.
About this time a young pension
agent located in the town of Rondo's
birth, and case of mutual love at
first sight sprang up between them.
In little while the pension agent
entirely supplanted the Kentucky
gentleman in Rondo's affection, whore
upon the latter promptly disowned
and cast him off. But this did not
affect Rondo to any extent His new
master furnished him with a night
key and let him go where he pleased,
and Rondo pleased to be a pretty
high roller.
One morning in 1889, however,
Rondo woke up and found that
his friend had gone. He watch
ed about the hotel for
many days, smelling every newcomer
after the fashion of his kind, but the
days heightened into months and he
came not Then Rondo had no one to
pay his board bill at the hotel and he
was forced to become a dead beat.
To dog of his hyphcnated ancestry
this was very distasteful, but he was
friendless and alone and there was no
other alternative. After figuring as

TROUBLE ron A POTENIATE.


The Sultan Dismay ed-Serious Disaffection
Reported in His Army and Navy-Reign
of Terror in Turkey-Regular Soldiers
Implicated in the Erzeronm Massacre.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Times to-day
publishes dispatch from its Constant
inople correspondent in which he re-
peats previous statements as to the
strength of the Mohammedan revolu-
tionary movement.
He expresses doubt as to the state
ment that leaders for the movement are
lacking, and says that the disaffection
is strong and general in the army and
navy as we'll as elsewhere, and has
caused dismay in the palace and a feel
ing of impotency on the part Of the
porte.
Constantinople, Nov. 7,-Hah Hifat
Pacha, late minister of the interior, has
been appointed grand vizier in place of
Kiamil Pacha, dismissed.
A new ministry has been formed
which includes Said Paoha, Aarlfa Pa
cha and Tewfik Pacha, the Turkish am
bassador to Germany, who left Berlin
last Saturday. Tewfik has been assign
ed to the portfolio of foreign affairs.
Trustworthy accounts from Erzeroum
say that Turkish regular troops took
part in the recent massacre of Arment-
ans, and the plundering Of their shops
and houses,
The condition of the Asiatic provin-
ces, these reports say, is deplorable and
a veritable reign of terror prevails.
Several servants of English merchants
have been arrested while leaving the
post office with English newspapers,
which were confiscated.
Hall Hifat Pacha, who has just been
transferred from the office of minister
of the interior to that of grand vizier,
is reported to be an able minister, burt
it is said that he does not possess the
influence of either Said Pacha or Krat
mil Pacha.
The British squadron has been una
BILE to obtain sufficient supply of pro-
visions at Lemnos and has been oblig-
ed to go to Salonica for that purpose.
In the representations made by the
foreign diplomats to the porte yester-
day especial reference was made to the
attacks upon Christians by Mussulmans
the ambassadors intimating that I'M
ISIS such outrages were stopped the pow
ers would take the matter into most Sc
rious consideration.
Said Pacha, foreign minister, to whom
these representations were made, prom
ised to make a formal reply within two
days. Such combined action on the
part Of the powers has not been taken
in many years, and it is regarded as an
intimation that Europe Is determined to
restore order in Turkey if the porte IS
unable to do so.

this season, getting it IN fine condition

An electric railroad company is to be
organized Immediately to build line
from Naugatuck Junction southwark
| to the shore, thence to Milford, with ex-
| tention to Woodmont and Woodmont
station. 1t will be about eight miles
| long
| This is the prospective Milford Flee
| trio Railway company which has had
such fight to obtain charter from
| the late general assembly and got it. 1t
will be organized in a few days, A
| meeting of the men interested in the
project has been called and will he held
next week, when the company will be
| formally organized. Some interested in
the proposed railroad company are Cen
eral G. III Ford of this city, ex-Sheriff
Charles A. Tomlinson, ex-Judge William
| B. Stoddard, ex-senator George M.
| Gum, ex-Representative Tibbals and
Charles w. Beardsley.
| Although the new company is author
| lied to capitalize at 100000, the organ
ization will start, in all probability, with
stock amounting to about half this sum.
Ex-City Engineer Fiji has just complet-
ed a preliminary survey of the proposed
route, and will submit plans and esti-
mates at the coming meeting. The
charter permits the company to lay
tracks from Naugatuck Junction to the
shore, to the Milford station and to
| Woodmont
| Plans have been completed for the ex-
tention of the tracks of the Waterbury
trolley system to W|aterville, distance
of three miles. The new line will paral-
| lei the Naugatuck division of the New
| Haven Railroad company. The latter
| has objected to a plan for an overhead
bridge, which forms part of the extern
sion of the Middletown trolley system
to Cromwell, paralleling the Valley iii
vision of the New Haven company. The
extension of the Middletown company
will therefore be postponed until next
| spring.
| The Corning and Painted Post Elec-
| trio Railway company, which is owned
| by the syndicate of New England CAPT
talists has just been completed. Israel
| A. Kelsey of the Winchester avenue
road of this city is one of the leading
! directors of the company and has had
charge of it's construction. The road is
| located in Corning, N. Y, and is about
! five miles long. The work of equipping
| the road was begun about six months
ago. In point of equipment the road is
said to be one of the finest in the eoun-
| try, and is in every way model trolley
| line.
| John I. Prince of West Haven has
been appointed superintendent Of the
new road, and left here a few days ago
to assume the duties of the new posi-
| ton.
| The first car was run over the road
! early this week. Some idea of the quail

the fact that it cost $1SO000. The COM
pany will operate ten cars at first
