BRIDGEPORT ALDERMAN MESSING.
William Flynn Believed to Have Drowned
 Himself.

Bridgeport, April 15.-A general alarm was sent out this morning in hopes of finding, dead or alive, Alderman Will liam Flynn of this city, who wandered away from home Saturday afternoon in a demented condition. He was seen Sat urday night by farmer going in the di- rection of Swamp Morton rock wild section west of this city. Alderman Flynn attended a caucus of the demo- cratic members of the new common council on Friday night, and was ap- parently in good health. The session was very exciting, and when he awoke Saturday morning he appeared very Respondent, said his friends had all de- serted him and talked of ending his life. He escaped from his home this afternoon. His family say he has acted rather queerly several times during the past year, but never before showed a disposition to do himself harm. Alder man Flynn is very popular ill the Fourth ward, and was about to enter upon his fourth year in the common council.

The Consumers Ice company was awarded $12000 damages for the land taken by the road when 1t changed the Shore Line tracks through Fair Haven The road thereupon prayed out an injunc- tion to prevent the victors from taking out an execution, as they wished to raise some question of law about the case. After lengthy hearing the case was continued until Monday next, when it will be resumed before Judge Hall in Bridgeport.

 At meeting of the Union Pacific rail- road first mortgage bondholders held in New York last week about forty bond holders were present. Edward King, Donald Mackey and A. Fl.

The actual amount of cash held by the trus- tees of the bondholders for the payment of the coupons due January 1, 1895, was small, and the indications are that the will not be paid much before July 1. This will be rather unpleasant reading for quite a number of New Ha- 1 ven people who have held the bonds 1 for many years, but as these bonds are an absolute first mortgage and the se- [ curity takes precedence to the United l States government lien, the full amount ] of principal and interest will eventually Da roid

AN ELM FORK.
1t Cuts Queer Capers When Over a Stream
of Water.

II am almost ashamed to tell it, and
people would laugh at me If my name
were given" remarked one of the best
known architects in the city of Louisville.
1T is q fact, though" he continued,
land is something l will not undertake to
explain. At one time was engaged to
make out the plans for large brickyard.
All went well until reached the subject
of water supply. 1t was supposed that
water could be found in abundance, as it
had to be for brickyard purposes. Every
scientific method known was exhausted
in locating a water vein. Too much money
had been expended on the enterprise to
change the site of the plant.
In absolute despair was walking over
the grounds one day when the old story
of the water twig occurred to me. At first
l laughed at the idea, but it took hold on
me, and l could not get rid of it. looked
all around to be sure that no one was
watching and then hunted for a twig A
peach tree fork is the kind mentioned, but
an elm tree fork was all could find. l
cut it so that each fork was about 10 inches
long, and the butt piece, which was no
larger than my finger, about 3 inches
long. I caught hold of the ends of tho
forked stick, one fork in either hand, as
one would in picking up hayfork by tho
tines, and held them so that the butt end
assumed nearly, but not quite, vertical
position. After looking once more to DO
certain that no one could see me and tell
what might have affected my reputation
as an architect, besides being good Joke
L began to walk and circle about where
the water was supposed to be.
THE twig did not vibrato any more
than would naturally follow the jarring
motion from walking, and l began to
walk about aimlessly, not watching the
twlg, for was thinking deeply and scri-
ously of some reasonable plan, when sud
denly my hands jerked as If they had como
in contact with an electric battery, and
the butt Of the elm fork had curved over
and downward about as far rs it could
without breaking the prongs. never was
so surprised in my life would not be-
lieve it at first. As long as l remained at
that spot the twig bent and could not be
made to stand erect, but when | moved
away short distance it would straighten
up as before. Time and again walked
away and back again before putting faith
in the experiment. 1t convinced me, how
ever, and marked the place Sure enough,
we found fine supply of water, but !
never told how the water vein was discov.

Booming an Actress.

A press agent of my acquaintance told
me once thai 1t was his habit to make con.
tracts with managers and actors for whole
sale lots OF entirely imaginary stories,
which he composed during the intolerable
heat of the summer months and which
were afterward scattered broadcast
throughout the country as true histories.
He made specially Of fairy tales for ac-
tresses, when he was wont to endow with
all the virtues, graccs and talents calculat-
ed to endear them to an art loving COM
munity like ours
In fact he informed me that he used TO
write about their dainty flats filled with
rare cngravirgs and choice brio IA brac, de-
noting the refined tastes of the occupant, ~
their early religious training, their clothes,
their ancestors, their social connections
and their numerous offers of marriage
chiefly from millionaires-in short, about
everything except their acting, which he
explained was something that the public
took very little interest in.-Bachclor OF

EFFECTS OF HASHEESH.
The Feeling Experienced After Partaking
of the Insinuating Drug.

During quite good half hour I felt
nothing in any way abnormal, but when
the meal was drawing to its close subtle
warmth, which came, as it We're, in gusts
to my head and chest, seemed to permeate
my body with II singular emotion. Later
on the conversation around me reached
my understanding charged with droll
significance. The noise of u fork tapped
against glass struck my ear as most
harmonious vibration. The faces of my
companions were transformed. The par
ticular animal type which, according to
Lavater, is the basis of every human coun-
tcnance, appeared to me strikingly clear.
My right hand neighbor became an eagle;
he on my left grew into an owl, with full
projecting eyes. Immediately in front Of
me the man was lion, while the doctor
himself was metamorphosed into fox.
But the most extraordinary circumstance
was that l read, or seemed to read, their
thoughts and penetrate the depth of their
intelligence as easily us one deciphers u
page printed in large type. Like an ex-
perienced phrenologist, could indicate &C
curately the force and quality of their en-
dowments and the nature of their scnti-
mcnts. In this analysis 4discovcred affini-
ties and contrasts which would have
escaped one in Il normal state.
Objects around me seemed little by lit
tie to clothe themselves in fantastic garb,
the arabesques on the walls revealed them
selves to me in rich rhymes - attractive
poesy, sometimes melancholy, but more
generally rising to an exaggerated lyrism
or to transcendent buffoonery. The porce-
lain vases, the bottles, the glasses spar
king on the table-all took the most lu-
dicrous forms. At the same time felt
creeping all around tho region Of my heart
tickling pressure to squeeze out, as it
were, with gentle force laugh which
burst forth with noisy violence.
My neighbors, too seemed subjected to
an identical influence, for l saw their
faces unfold like peonies-victims of bois-
ferrous hilarity holding their sides and
rolling about from right to left, their
oountenances swollen like Titans Ny
voice seemed to have gained considerable
strength, for when l spoke it was as if it
were discharge of cannon, and long after
/ had uttered "a sentence l heard in my
brain the reverberation as it were, of dis
tant thunder. -Cornhill Magazine.

THE SHAKERS DO THEIR DUTY.

aIf a man discovers Z valuable medicine
said Horace Greeley" II is his duty to adver-
t;se IL, Yes, and at once<fo suffering de-
mands the speediest relief possible. But let
the man first be sure. Suffering had better
wait then be deluded by false hopes. Medi-
cine. like surgery, must often seem cruel in
order to be really kind. On this principle
the SHAKERS, of Mt. Lebanon, N. Y, withheld
their great Indigestion and dyspepsia remedy
from the public for several years. With them
riqht-d doing is everything,-Boneg. compare
lively nothing. Hence the popularity and
success Of whatever they offer for sale. Hav-
ing satisfied themselves of the merit OF their
medicine by employing it in the worst cases
of digestive disorders in their own vi
cinity for years, they did their duty
thew advertised it, under the name of the
shaker Digestive Cordial. In all cases where
there is distress after eating, pain in the stom-
ach, chest and back; aversion to food with the
resulting symptoms, such as headache, furred
tongue, eructation of gas, with weakness and
loss OF hesh ETC., the Cordial has most happy
effect. Being itself oigested food with power
to digest other foods, it relieves the weak and
possibly inf1amed stomach OF the labor it is in
no condition to perform gives new strength to
the body and presently restores to the diges-
tive organs their normal visor. Taken i'm
mediately after eating this remedy insures the
digestion of The meal and prevents the fer
mentation of the food, which is the source of
most of the affective symptoms which accom-
papy dyspepsia. 1t is also agreeable to the
taste as it is potent as a medicine. To show
their own confidence in it, and to hasten its
universal adoption, the Shakers authorize
druggists to sell trial bottles at the nominal
price of ten cents. Tuestopcolnrtt
