TOOK LAUDANUM.

Frank P. Amber, Brother of the Fa-
 nous Rose Amber, Suicides at Mill
 Plain
 Waterbury, July 2O-Frank P. Am- bier, aged thirty-four, was found dead this morning under an apple tree near the residence of Joseph w. Slater, with a bottle of laudanum by his side. He came from Stratford last night on the evening train, and went to the house of MT. Slater in Mill Plain, Mrs Slater be- ing his wife's sister. He refused to go inside the house and spent the night under the tree where he was found Further investigation showed that the deceased had purchased the laudanum in Stratford and that he had threat ened to commit suicide.
 Dr. Axtelle was called and examined the remains. and pronounced the case to be one of suicide. He gave permis- sion for the removal of the body, and it was taken by Undertaken York to his rooms, where it was prepared fol burial.
 The deceased was a brother of Rose Amber, whose sensational death some years ago will be recalled as one oi Connecticut's murder mysteries. He leaves beside his wife, one brother.
 Some of Ambler's relatives and friends came up from Stratford this afternoon and took charge of the re- mains, which will be removed to Strat- ford for burial. Very little can be learned concerning the antecedents o1 the deceased, aside from the fact that he had not been wholly responsible fol his actions for some time past, and i had been found necessary to appoint { conservator over him. This fact nigh account for his taking his life, as nt other motive Is known.

HOW THE FIRE BEGAN
The Saloon Stewards First Noticed the Smoke and the Captain
 Was Called.

1t was 2.so o'clock Saturday after noon when the City of Rome was $50 miles east of New York, that the first signs of the fire were discovered. A few passengers were still at the dinner table when strong odor of smoke was noticed. The stewards observed small whiffs of smoke working up through interstices. No time was lost notifying the captain, and short investigation sufficed to To- cate the fire in No. 4 hatch, which is under the main saloon.
 The captain called the crew to the fire quarters. and at once the saloon was turned upside down. Carpets were roll ed up and the deck planking was ripped up in dozen places. The planking is about three inches thick, and beneath it is steel plating one-eight of an inch thick. The flooring was first torn up in in strips foot wide and several feet long, and next cold chisels were brought to bear on the steel plates, and holes sufficient for the admission of hose were cut in it."-N. Y. Times, June 2S, 'e7.
 The City of Rome was freighted with very valuable cargo of Irish and Scotch table linens, napkins, sheetlngs, crashes, handkerchiefs, etc.
 Upon arrival at New York, the under writers sold at auction all the goods saw , ed from the fire. They realized about 67 cents on the dollar A large portion of them were purchased by Malley, Nicely x Co.,, and will be upon sale at their store on Thursday next

SUGGESTS A NEW STREET NAME

TO the EuItor or she Journal and Courier: As there is likely to be change in the names of several of the streets in Fair Haven East owing to the extension of the city line and the fact that a number of the streets in the older sec- tions of the city bear similar appella- tions, allow me to suggest as proper for that now known as Center street the name of Centralia avenue, or Ter race avenue. The first designafes the street without very radical change of name, while the second is a descrip- tive term for the thoroughfare.

False Earthquake Predictions.

Predictions of n sensational char
acter in regard to the weather may
do little harm. The self constituted
prophet outside the regular meteor
illogical bureau is, however, always
a fraud. But the man who foresees
an earthquake may do a great deal
of mischief. The bulletin of the
American Geographical society
prints this:
Professor Falb of Vienna inflicted
grievous injury upon Athens in 1894
by predicting that the city would
suffer severely from the earthquake
on May 5. Nearly every one who
could do SO fled from the city, and
there was indeed great suffering,
caused, however, entirely by Falb,
for there was no earthquake. Globus
(volume 20, No. y says that another
of his mischievous prophecies threw
Valparaiso, Chile, into a sad state of
terror in March, 1896. He predicted
one of his critical days" for March
20, and for several days preceding
all the trains were crowded with
fugitives bound foc the mountains.
The number of fugitives was about
1000. There was no earthquake nor
trouble of any sort except that caus-
ed by this irresponsible prophet

Painful and Exciting Incident of a New
York Rainstorm.

York Rainstorm.
They were talking of the variety
of queer little incidents which the
streets of New York have to offer
for the daily entertainment of the
idle but observing pedestrian.
why, it's a regular continuous
performance, if you only keep your
eyes open and look about you, con-
cluded the man whose fund of
"reminiscences" had made him
easily the star narrator of the party.
Indeed I believe you, remarked
the little woman in the corner, who
up to that point had contented her
self with listening to the stories of
the others. II believe you, because
was in one act of it myself the
other day on Twenty-third street. I
assure you that I am not particular
ly proud of the part played, but,
then, did it purely from necessity,
not choice.
''When started out to shop that
afternoon, the sky was perfectly
clear, but in about an hour it came
on to rain very suddenly, and was
caught without an umbrella / had
a new bonnet on, too-One of those
tiny things, you know, made mostly
of jet and lace, and barely resting
on the top of my head. 1t didn't
even have strings % hold it on.
Well, was hurrying along as fast
as possible, my sole idea being to
get that bonnet under the sheltering
roof of the nearest store, when,
happening to glance a little distance
ahead of me, l saw something which
fairly paralyzed me with astonish-
ment. I stood still for a moment,
unwilling to believe my eyes. But
there was no mistake. There was
my cherished bonnet, which / had
believed to be perched securely upon
the top of my head, dangling from
the rib of mans umbrella, several
yards away Worst of all, the owner
of the umbrella, blissfully uncon-
scious of his ridiculous catch, was
striding rapidly along through the
rain, increasing at every step the
distance between me and my i'll
fated property. There was only one
thing to be done, and it was clear to
me that it must be done quickly TOO.
Picking up my skirts. / ran after
that man at top speed must have
been an impressive object, in my
bedraggled and hatless condition,
but had no time to think of that
then. When l finally reached him,
I caught at his sleeve and managed
to gasp out:
I" oh, sir, excuse me, but you've
got my bonnetl'
He turned, and, Judging from the
expression on his face, l imagine he
was quite as much surprised as /
had been a minute or two before
He was a dignified old gentleman,
with kind looking blue eyes.
Your bonnet, madame I-have
-your-b bonnet?' he repeated slow
ly, emphasizing each word, as if to
make sure that he had heard me
right.

Iexplained. feeling my face get red
der every moment. You must have
picked it right up from my head as
you passed me, but never felt it at
all.
"By this time we were both laugh
ing heartily over the absurdity of
the affair, but can tell you it will
be a lesson to me. Never again will

hat securely to my head by every
means known to women. New
