Offered at Auction.

Bridgeport, Jan. 29.-The belongings of Jimmy McNally, the famous green goods man and bunco steerer, in Fair field were offered at a public auction sale this afternoon. The sale had not been advertised very extensively, and the attendance was small, so the auc- tioneer decided not to sell the larger chattels to-day. Notable among the ar- ticles purchased were several paintings which were bid off to connoisseurs at- tracted to the farm in Fairfield woods at low prices. McNally was at the time he purchased the Fairfield property the most extensive green goods operator in the country. He came to this city after having operated successfully in Jersey City for two years, accompanied by a gang of thirty crooks and a large equip ment. His illegal earnings were so i'm mense that he soon sought to invest some of the surplus. He paid $15,000 fo1 the Fairfield farm, and invested in all $S5, 900 in the town. After leaving here his business went to pieces, and he ex- pended large sums of the ill-gotten wealth in saving some of his agents who had been caught at the work from severe sentences to prison by furnish ing bonds for them, which they jumped at his advice.
 He leased Music hall in this city as a sham to carry on the business, but that program was cut short by the robbery of one of his agents by a Hebrew named Kanopslzi of $3,000.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The production tonight of Gus Heege's greatest effort is the novelty at the Grand Opera house for the bal ance of this week. It is the satirical farce comedy, Rush City," which has met with such high favor wherever it has been presented. The story of Rush City is all about the doings of John J. Rush, a land boomer, and his many dupes. After trying numerous schemes to win fame and fortune MT. Rush con- ceives the idea of projecting a town in Oklahoma and corralling the eastern dollars. He advertise,s i'm all the daily papers that he will sell lots in town called Rush City, where everything is bright and the prospects of making money are something beyond all under standing. His office is soon besieged by numbers of people who have more money than brains, and he soon ac- quires enough means to vstant his city, and enough foolish eastern victims to elect him to every known political of flee and let him do with the town as he sees fit. There is a great variety Of local characters depicted. The last act finds the remains of Rush City transplanted in Cactusville. to which place it has been blown, and there Rush bobs up serenely and starts an other town with all the assurance of a Vanderbilt.
 During the action of the play many specialties are introduced by some of the cleverest people known to the stage. Among the notable members of the cast are Joe Coyne, Frank O'Brien, M. J Gallagher, John Hymans, Michae, Heckert, Olive White, Mabel Craig Maym Mayo, George Marion, E. c. lief ferman, Carrie Locke, Edna Aug and Helen Reimer.

POTTS WONDERLAND rHEArrn.

Lovers of laughter and sensation can find plenty of both at Polls Wonder land theater this week. MT. O'Brien and Miss Havel combine both in their unique acrobatic comedy during which Mir. O'Brien does some Of the most mar velous tumbling ever seen upon this stage. One of his feats is to slide across the stage on his ear, another to make half dozen diving forward somersaults without touching either head or hands to the stage. The most phlegmatic spec tator finds his blood quicken as he watches this marvellous tumibling. And the most solemn minded can't restrain his laughter when MT. Garfield and Miss Carleton present their droll singing comedy.

ZEE HOMESTEAD BURNED.
There Was Hut Little Saved and the Family
 Barely Escaped.

Gulford, Jan. 29.-The house of Cap tain William H. Lee, located about two miles from the center of the town, was destroyed by fire about midnight Tues day night. The house was an old-fash- toned structure, two and one-half stor- ies high. The fire was discovered by home. He found that the rear of the house was in flames, and quickly arous- ed his father, mother and brother, who were asleep in Ithe upper part of the house. The fire had gained such head way that the family was able to save but little. They removed a few arti- cles of furniture, but almost everything of value was destroyed with the house, which was burned to the ground. It is lthought the fire was started by kero- sene heater, which was left burning in a rear room on the lower floor. The
 total loss is about $4,OOO; partly covered
 by insurance.
 The house of Captain Lee had been occupied by at least three generations
 of the Lee family and was one of the
 oldest in New Haven county. The
 father of Captain Lee, MT. James Lee,
 died hhere a few years ago, at an ad-
 vanced age. There were three sons in Mr Lees famiyl-General F. Merwin Lee of New York, who commanded q Michigan cavalry regiment during the war; Charles G. Lee of the Sixteenth Connecticut, who died in 1865, while passing through the rebel lines at Will mington, N. C., as a paroled prisoner; and Captain William H. Lee, who was also in the Sixteenth, and has repre- sented the town of Guilford in the gen. eral assembly. All of the sons were born in this ancient house. There were also two daughters, Mary and Ellen, the l latter possessing much literary ability. The old house had been the scene of l many brilliant event socially in the | town, and occupied one of the most picturesque localities in the north sec | ton of Guilford. The friends of MT.
 Lee in this city will learn with deep regret of the misfortune that has be- 1 fallen him.

Says Palmer and Buckner Make the
Best Possible Ticket.

INst IOs>IDtS AAShSts
New York, Sept. 5.-In d special cable
dispatch from Geneva, Switzerland, the
Herald this morning prints the following rs
the views Of Henry WattersoD, on the re-
suit Of the Indianapolis convention:
nresponse to an inquiry as 10 his opinion
of the ticket, Col. watterson wrote out the
following signed statement:
"A better ticke' than Palmer and Buckner
could not have been made. Among the sur
viving heroes OF the war. they stand pre-
eminent. One was :; gallant soldier Of the
Union. and the other was an equally gallaI
soidier OF the Confederacy.
They Join hands to figat the new section
alism that menaces the integrity Of the ma
ton. Thus they represent not merely honest
money, orderly and responsible government,
out complete reconciliation between the
North and South. They merit enthusiastic
support from patriotic voters eyerywher.-
II was profoundly grateful for tile honor
implied by the suggestion of myown nomiIia
ton, and / was not willing to present the
unmanly spectacle of refusing the irksome
duty which has now been urged upon
them. I nevertheless felt. under the cir
cumstanceS, that it involved sacrifices
which should not be required of me. l am
both relieved and rejoiced by the result.
which is both logical and wise.
HENRY WATTERSON
In the course OF further nversation.
Col wattersoD said: Il think the Palmer.
Buckner ticket will get an enormous vote
in Kentucky 1t wouldn't surprise me if 1t
polled more votes than either Bryan and
Sewall or Bryan and Watson. All my adj
vices from home are TO the effect that
the sound money ticket has been steadily
gaining ground. i can, even from this dis
tance. see indications conclusive i'll this
direction.
The third ticket nominated will neither
defeat Bryan nor elect Mckinley, butit will
represent the great body OF public sentimeSt
and opinion. which has rights Of representa-
ton, and is notrepresented either by Bryan
or Mckinley.
1t is too early to predict the election Of
either Bryan or Mckinley. Many strange
things hav e happened in American politics
stranger things than fhe election Of Palmer
ana Buckner never believed the election
of Bryan possible
