O1in H. Clark of the Etna Life Insurance Company and Friend Have Marrow Escape.
 MT. Olin H. Clark, who narrowly es- capped drowning at Woodmont last Sat urday, was unable to go to Hartford yesterday to attend to his business, as he had not fully recovered from the ef- fleets of the shock and exposure. He is connected with the Aetna Life h. surance company of Hartford and had been spending a week at Wodnlont. Saturday he was out fishing, accom- panied by Mrs. Shaw, the housekeep- CT at the Bonsilene. As MT. Clark was taking in the anchor preparatory to going ashore, he lost his balance and fell backward, overturning the round bottomed fourteen foot skiff. MT. MT. Clark is a good swimmer and man. aged to keep both himself and Mrs. Shaw above water for some time until help arrived. Charles M. Smith of the fWodwont Improvement association was fishing in boat a short distance away He rowed to their assistance immediately, but his boat was too small to hold them. They were, how ever, able to hold on to the stern of the boat while MT. Smith rowed them to a place where it was possible for them to touch bottom. MT Clark and Mrs. Shaw were greatly exhausted.

A Saloon Attacked by Tough Gang-MucI Damage Done and the Saloon Keeper Struck in the Head With Brick and Badly Wounded-The Police Secure the Leader of the Gang.
 Thomas Cox, the saloon keeper at the corner of Greene and Wallace streets was murderously assaulted yes terday. MT. Cox became a republican last fall and assisted in the election of J.V Rattlesdorfer as alderman from that ward. Since that time there has been considerable feeling against him among the ''red hot democrats in the immedi- ate neighborhood Yesterday James F. FitZmorris, who resides at 19 Greene street, became filled with liquor and an accompanying desire to annihilate everybody and anybody. Backed by his gang" all of whom were in a condition similar to their leaders, Fitz- munition of the gang consisted of brick bats and chair rungs. A perfect shower of these brick bats were thrown in the saloon, demolishing the bar fix lures and furniture and causing much damage. Cox and his bartender es- capped injury however. This seemed to enrage Fitzmorris. who took a brick bat and walked deliberately into the saloon. With all his strength he threw
 the brick bat at Cox's face, cutting his cheek clean to the bone. The gang then turned their attention to John Kennedy, the bartender. He was beat en severely.
 The police of the Grand avenue sta- tion were notified and Sergeant Me- Grath sent out Officers Toronto and Meigs. The gang got the warning and started off.
 Fitzmorris made his escape to the gas house yard, where Officers Flynn and Patrick Roche joined in the chase Officer Roche found Fitzmorris among the seaweeds on the banks of Mill riv- CT, which is back of the gas house. He was brought to station 2. More ar rests will follow.
 Cox's wound was dressed by Dr. Lll- by, who found it necessary to take two stitches to close the cut MT. Cox is we'll known as a law biding citizen. He resides in the building where he kept his saloon. He is a son-in-law of ex-Police Captain Sheridan
 The damage to the saloon is consider able as bar fixtures and furniture were demolished.

CROWDS AT SAVIN ROCK
AT LEAST TTWENTr-FIVE THOUSAND
 PEOPLE THERE.

Two Ball Games-A Band Concert and q Balloon Ascension-Walks Uncomfort
 ably Cr1wded-Both Baseball Games On. Sided-Comparatlve Quiet.
 Savin Rock was the Mecca of the working people yesterday. From early morning cars packed full of people, and with even all the footboards full, were constantly going to West Haven, re. turning empty. This outward rush die not cease until evening and then the homeward rush began.
 It was estimated by the Winchester avenue railroad officials that at least 10000 people would be at Savin Rock be- fore o'clock last evening. At that time there were no less than 25,00O people there, more than fulfilling the estimate In fact, besides the enormous crowds from this city, there were large num- bers from Meriden, Wallingford, Bran ford, Derby and other places, and talk ing it altogether, every walk and prom enade at the place was so crowded as to be uncomfortable.
 The delicious coolness of the atmos- phere gave a reminder of the proximity of fall. But although all realized that summer was about over, the weather was such that the day was an ideal one for the picnic. The weather was cool, the sky was clear and the air invigorat- ing. Under these conditions the crowds enjoyed themselves immensely in spite of the jam.
 The special attractions of the day were two ball games, balloon ascen- sion and a band concert
 The concert was by the Second regi- ment orchestra and was very enjoyable, but the throng was so immense that it is safe to say that one-haff did not know what the band was playing. The ball games were not exciting, as in both cases the games were one-sidedi
 THE FIRST BALL GAME
 The first game was in the morning between the teams of the Sacred Heart T. A. B. society and the St. Patrick's S | A. D. SOClely lHe Sille WAS tlle od- cred Hearts from start to finish. At its close the score stood 27 to in their favor. The battery for the Sacred Heart team was Sullivan, pitcher, and Mooney, catcher. The St. Patrick's had six different pitchers. but Glynn and O'Brien were the only ones who lasted more than one inning. Leahy caught the entire game.
 THE SECOND BALL GAME.
 The second game was interesting for six innings. It was between the Mt. Peasants and the Atlantics The game was very interesting for just six in nngs but in the seventh string of er- TOTS by the Atlantics gave the game to the Mt. Pleasant team. Errors by Le Grand and Lea.hy and the rest, netted no less than eight runs Errors in these three innings were made by nearly all the Atlantic team, every little scratch hit netting from one to three bases Only one run was earned.
 The following is the complete score:

THE BALLOON.

The balloon ascension was successful as usual J. Henry Jewell the fearless aeronaut, made the ascension. The balloon ascended to at least one thou sand feet before MT. Jewell released the parachute. The parachute unfurled easily and gracefully and landed the aeronaut safely east of Campbell ave- nue, whither the vast wind which had been blowing strongly had waited it. The balloon was picked up near the 'jetty" in the harbor.
 One remarkable feature of the day at the Rock was the scarcity of drunken ness and fighting during the daytime The crowd was very good natured and sober, and the police had very little 20 do in handling them.
