INSANE ON RELIGION.
Bridgeport Man Arrested to Prevent
 His Offering His Son as a Sacrifice.

Bridgeport Man Arrested to Prevent
 His Offering His Son as a Sacrifice.
 w. s. Beers, a carpenter living on Basslc avenue West End, Bridgeport, was brought to the police station Fri day night and locked in a padded cell, Beers is insane on the subject of relig- ion, and the action taken prevented him from killing his nine-year-old boy and offering him as a sacrifice.
 Beers has been violently insane at times for three or four years, and dur ing the hot weather of the past two days has acted strangely, His wife and friends feared another attack, and Dr. Hoyt was called. Beers was found lying in bed reading the Bible.
 The physician saw that prompt action was necessary. The mother and boy were sent away hurriedly and a tele- phone message was sent for the police. When they arrived Beers was still read ing the Bible. He had leaves turned down at several places. He told the officers that he had everything arrang- ed and that the time had come.
 "The boy is mine," he said, "and l can do with him as I see fit, and intend to do as I have been ordered"
 Before the police arrived he told the boy to undress and get ready. Beers was allowed to take his Bible and several religious books with him, and in that way was secured without trouble.-Ansonia Sentinel.

 could be desired to satisfy the inner man, and when the feast was served everybody seemed to enjoy it hugely MT. Herman Schlosser the manager of the park, did everything in his power for the enjoyment of the picnickers. and it was resolved among the happy throng to make another visit to this ia vorite resort ere the advent of cold weather

MIR. FOX,s RETURN.

MT. George l.. Fox, rector of Hop- kins Grammar school who has return ed from his trip to Europe, devoted himself on the trip to northern Europe, spending three weeks in England, two in Norway, one in Sweden, one in Rus sia and one in Germany. Speaking of one thing that notably impressed him, he says: What so many American visitors this year have noticed is a desire to emphasize the kindly feeling of the English people towards the United States. The mere statement that I was an American schoolmaster was all the passport I needed in visit ing the schools. I am sure that the English people Is we'll voiced in the words in Lincoln's famous inaugural address We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.
 Proceeding, he said: T return g greater admirer than ever of the mu- nicipal government in Europe. The present condition of affairs in New Haven Is a striking contrast, but I be- lieve that under the new charter we
 
 to find that the street sprinkling adver- tisement bills have not been paid, ex. cept at great reduction from theil face value. The honorable way out o1 this difficulty Mayor Farnsworth an6 Mr. Ely should have taken long ago They should have confessed that they had made 8 mistake, but had no cor rupt intent.
 Tt looks, they might have said, as if we were attempting to sWindle tho taxpayers to our private gain. But il was simply carelessness, not intentiona on our part. As proof thereof we vii not allow the taxpayers to pay these bills, but will assume them ourselves They could have settled with the print ing companies on better terms thar anybody else, and thus have cleared their regulations in large measure.
 "All honor to the republican mem bers who refused to bow beneath the party lash, ana adopt the majority re- port. They deserve the hearty com mendation of every citizen. Mayo Farnsworth has made admirable ap. pointments under, the new charter, ant his action in this matter is deserving O much praise As soon as our presen difficulties are surmounted, provided tn, citizens do their duty, we are sure tt have more satisfactory and efflcien government"

NORWICH VETERANS MEET.

separated for Thirty-Three Years Were Members of the Eighteenth Regiment.
 The Buffalo encampment of the G. A. R was replete with incidents of inter- est, and in many cases of pathetic character The following one is we'll worthy of mention:
 Dr. Charles H. Ellsworth, a we'll known veteran of Rochester, enlisted ln the early part of the war in Com pany c, Eighteenth Connecticut Volun- teers, and with his regiment was en- gagged in the many battles in the Shen- andoah Valley. After the battle of Piedmont, while in the hospital at Staunton, he was captured and taken 10 Andersonville prison, where he was confined until October. 1864, when he was transferred to Milan prison. While there in a starving condition. and with little hope of living to return, he learn ed that some of the prisoners were to be exchanged. Among them was one Edwin Spalding of the same regiment. to whom Ellsworth intrusted a small blt of paper containing a few words to Mrs. Ellsworth, his young wife, in Hartford. This was faithfully deliver ed and was the first word received since his capture, and was like message from the dead.
 On Wednesday, August 25. while the doctor was walking down the lines of assembling veterans in Buffalo. his eye caught the flag of his old native state, and, approaching the commanding off, Ger, he asked for members of the Eighteenth. One was pointed out to him, and in moment hands were clasped over the chasm of thirty-three years, and friendship that ended amid the horrors of a southern prison was renewed amid the patriotic scenes of a nations gala day.
 1 MT. Spalding is a native of Norwich, and we'll known engineer on the Nor wich and Worcester division of the New England railroad. Before the war forty years ago Messrs. Ellsworth and | Spalding were friends and shopmates in the employ of the late Peleg Rose as machinists. MT. Spalding was pris- oner in Andersonville for months, and when about to be exchanged was trans ferred to Milan prison for short time. After waiting thirty-three years he learned that Mrs. Ellsworth received the note mentioned above.
 Another note from Sergeant Bentley Shaw to his father, the late J. B. Shaw, and common passbook with the names of all belonging to the Eighteenth regiment and some of the First Connecticut who had been or were still in prison, was mailed from the transport steamer Blackstone upon reaching Annapolis by MT. Spalding. l The names were published in Norwich papers as soon as possible after they were received. This was the first news received from those prisons in eastern 1 Connecticut at that time.

OUR KLONDIKE.
Rev. Dr. Sage at Grand Avenue Baptist Church, Fair Haven-rhe Sudden Great Rush to an Unknown Country.

Rev. Dr. Sage at Grand Avenue Baptist
 Church, Fair Haven-rhe Sudden Great
 Rush to an Unknown Country.
 Last evening at the Grand avenue Baptist church Rev Dr. Sage preached an interesting sermon from the topic, "Our Klondike." The text was in Job 22-25. "The Almighty shall be thy gold"
 Dr. Sage spoke in part as follows: "The whole country has gone to Klon- dike--in fact or in thought. Whatever may be gotten out of the hills of that far off northern country, mine of wealth has been opened for the study of human nature, its wealth, it's weak nesses and its wants.
 "This sudden rush into an unknown land, with the hope of personal enrich ment has strongly emphasized the fact that we are not satisfied with what we have. A good climate, civilization, the association of relatives and friends, in many cases moderately lucrative po- sition in business, are all surrendered for the chance of getting something bet ter. 'More,' more this is the cry of the human heart Something better is the aspiration of the excited throng.
 "It is 8 fact that the resources of these cities and commonwealths, rich as they may be, do not fully satisfy the wants of men. The richest mines that ever opened to men their stored up wealth never did and never can give full and complete satisfaction. Though every rock touched by the feet of these ambitious travellers turned to solid gold, not one would be satisfied, but still would go up the cry More more
 Satisfaction comes, not from the amount but rather from the kind of wealth possessed. I shall be satisfied, once wrote man of good judgment, when I awake in Thy likeness If the avaricious would only know it, man. kind wants God, and over the earth will come welcome spirit of content ment when all shall understand and believe that the Almighty shall be thy gold
 Recent reports from this region of supposed wealth are disclosing the fact that after all, gold, gold alone is not what men want Meat and bread, some thing to sustain life, that is what they are now asking for Of what value is a ton of gold to a man who is staring famine in the face, with the nearest provision store a thousand miles away, and no possible means of cummunica- tion? Give to him another ton of vel low metal, if you will, does it relieve the bangs of hunger? How slow we are to learn it, but learn 1t sometime we will, that gold alone will fail to meet our deeDesf Wants When the Arctic night of death comes on and earth's provisions fail us, something ! more than worldly wealth will be want ed. Near to you now, and nearer to you than may be the wealth desired faith sees and appropriates the Al mighty shall be thy gold.'"

WAS AGROUND AND ON FIRE.

Predicament in Hell Gate of a Tug and
 Lighter Loaded With Freight Cars of
 the Consolidated Road.
 New York, Sept, 12,-The tugboat Dorothy Annum, belonging to Cooper Brothers, having in tow Transport No. of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. while on its way from Jersey City to Morrisania yester- day morning, came to grief in Hell Gate, She ran aground on a rock off Hart's dock, Wards Island, at 6:30 o'clock, and soon after this happened the tug took fire. The crew began to fight the flames, but the fire soon got beyond their control and threatened the transport, loaded with freight cars.
 The fire then assumed serious propor- tions, and the captain of the Dorothy Annum was compelled to telephone to the offices of the railroad company for help. Two tugs, Nos. and ', were dis patched to the scene. Despite the com bined efforts of Captains Simms and Valley, in charge of the relieving tugs. the fire continued to spread The Wa ter pumped into it was transformed into vapor.
 The docks for nearly a mile along the river front were lined with people watching the spectacle, which was beautiful one. On the bluffs of East River park there were over & thousand people.
 The tug left the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad pier in Jer- | sey City at o'clock, bound for the 1 Morrisania railroad yards. A pilot known to the rest of the crew as Jake was In charge. He was formerly in the employ of the Lehigh Valley railroad. and was in the place of the regular pilot of the Annum, who was i'll. The | tide was coming in when the tug en- l tered Hell Gate. The heavy current. the weight of the transport and the | lack of experience with the currents in Hell Gate co-operated against the pilot. and the result was that the tide forced the tug and transport upon the rock. There the tug remained fast and hard, careening to starboard. The weight of the transport proved her saving grace. When the engineer of the tug found that he could not force her off the rock he left her and rowed to Wards Island. whence he telephoned to the company, explaining the Dorothy Annum's pre- | dicament. In his absence some live coals fell from the furnace and dropped 1 to the wooden flooring near the engine. The crew, up on the deck, were ignor- ant of the state of affairs in the engine room until sheet of flame darted to- ward them.
 The men at once organized a bucket brigade, but their efforts were useless. and the tugs whistles were set going, shrieking for help.
 The tugs finally extinguished the flames. The damage is estimated at $10000, and the tug was valued at $30,- 000
 The crew disappeared soon after the fire got beyond control. They are all safe, and not one was hurt.
