 ty turned around, and he said, says he, Here, Shorty, jest lend a hand, and we'll bear this thing to the bat room; but | shot down the stairs like house afre, and the rest of the night I spint with me blanket over me head. And as soon as this thirty day bit of mine IS over I'll shake the dust of this jint off me feet, that will. I'll go to Albans or Cleveland or Columbus-though the bread is mostly sour there-or Joliet, belike. I never heerd of a sperret in any one of thim places. No, there's no use O talkin', Colonel.

 Shorty was right; it never did go down with any of the boys. To this day c 42 is known as the haunted cell. The authorities tried reason, cajolery and threats alike in vain. They assured the men that the postmorten revealed that Pozzi had died of heart disease. How about the burd?" was the invari- able answer. They bribed with hos pitable rations, they punished with bread and water, but never could they find an occupant for c 42 who did not resist his fate with the energy of de- spair. Finally they abandoned the at- tempt and gave over the cell to the storekeeper and now blankets and bed quilts are piled along the blue wall and up to the orange ceiling of the tiny space wherein Pozzi the one-eyed coun- terfeter. stewed his messes, while the little canary through its blthe singing proclaimed that innocence has no afoid ing place and that purity is without bounds.-New York Sun.

A lady, well known on Main street, told strange story yesterday of an ex- perience she had down North Haven way about two weeks ago. One after noon about 4 o'clock she was driving down the hill just over the North Ha ven line in a carriage with her young nephew when a roughly dressed strang- CT with a bicycle pushed his wheel out on the road ahead of the horse, and talk ing a revolver from his pocket com manded her to stop the horse which she did Before the highwayman could make any further demands a bicyclist came along the path and stopped to learn what was going on, when the would-be robber put his revolver back in his pocket and jumped on the bicycle and rode rapidly away toward Wallingford The lady states that she was terribly frightened as well as astounded to think of the attempt of a holdup in broad daylight on a public road as near houses as in that vicinity and feared what might have been the outcome but for the opportune arrival of the bicyclist whose appearance frightened the would-be highwayman away. The lady said that she had said nothing of the occurrence before as she did not wish any notoriety In the matter.
 A load of furniture from Berlin bound for New Haven got stalled in the sand on the road up the hill south of Ed Toelle's bicycle rest just over the North Haven line early yesterday afternoon, and it was necessary to unload nearly nll of the furniture before the team could be got out. The road in question is the worst to be found in a radius of forty miles.
 The ball game yesterday afternoon between the liquor dispensers of Bran- ford and WalIingford resulted in favor of Wallingford by a score of Il to 5. Only six innings were played. There was more sport than science in the game. The local battery was Downey and Gardner, as by agreement the vis- tors were allowed pitcher from outside the profesh. and the local team a catcher.
 John Wetzel of this town and Miss Nettie Bakely were quietly married in New Britain Tuesday afternoon at the home of the bride.

The first alarm was sounded from the rubber shop.

Negro Camp M eetings.

In an interesting article on Negro Camp Meetings in the States" which
 Miss F. l.. Banby contributes to the September Culver she tells the follow ing amusing incident: "The various negro families pitch small tents in the vicinity of the auditorium, taking with them only the most primitive sort of housekeeping accommodations Then
 here are what are known as boarding tents,' which consist of two rooms, sep- arated one from the other by canvas. Here boarders of both sexes are taken for the sum of about two dollars per week. Very little cooking is done dur ing camping times, the meals consisting of what the negroes term 'snatches' of bread and cold meat, pumpkin pe wa ter-melons, ice-cream, lemonade, etc. Camp-meeting time usually comes when the huckleberries and blueberries are ripe, and during the intervals be- tween the meetings, parties are made up for the purpose of 'goin berryin'.' Some of the very poor negroes live all most entirely on fruit at camp meeting time. There are many stories of en- thusiastic campers who, when they have done their vberrying, wander off into forbidden pastures and milk the farmers cows during the daytime, in order that they may have milk to drink along with their berries. This practice, however, is not upheld by camp-meet- ing leaders; and generally, at the class meetings and prayer meetings, such culprits, who very often confess during the excitement ofthe song service, are severely dealt with by the elders of the church Fields of water-melons are great attractions to the younger camp
 CTS. At one of the 'exhortation meet ings' which I attended, when all those who had sinned during the day were exhorted to confess their sins and trv to atone for them, great sensation was caused by negro boy of eighteen or nineteen confessing to having stolen watermelon the night before I war jes' walking trough dat watah-melon patch confessed the boy, with tears streaming down his cheeks, wen I stummel agin one which I mus hab. I argied haow de Lord wunst walk roun' de corn-fiel an pluck off corn an eat 'em, bein' hungered, as the good Book say. De debil gittin' into me an temptin' me, says, "Hyar, Reuben. dis watah-melon goin' to waste ain't doing nobody no good, an you jes' take 'em," w'ich 1 done, an ask yo' alls to pray dat I might be furgiv' Here an old black woman. who looked a veritable mother inIsrael, broke out into song. The cul- prit joined in with glad face having confessed his sin. After the meeting was over. he went to the owner of the melon field and paid him five cents for that which he had appropriated"

to tell an amusing story of her first meeting with Webster, It was at an evening party, and Webster upon being presented said in his most Websterian manner; Madam, am charmed to have the pleasure of making your ac- quaintance.' He was introduced to her four times and each time repeated the same remark, evidently not remember ing his previous introduction. Final ly my mother said: If you say that to me again, MT. Webster, I shall really begin to think you mean it.
 "The absurdity of it all struck the great Senator, and saying, Well, by love, really am glad to meet you, Mrs. stephens he straightway entered into conversation with her and then and there began a friendship that was to outlast his life. ."-New York Tribune.

WASHINGTON IN WAR TIMES.

WASHINGTON IN WAR TIMES.
 Edward Stephens, attorney at law, of Washington, D. C., son of Mrs. Ann Stephens, the novelist, talked most inter estingly yesterday of the Washington of an earlier day.
 People in Washington in the early sixties" said Mr. Stephens, "lived for the great part in hotels and boarding houses, and the social life was almost wholly made up of those who were re- sident at the capital through politics or connected with one or another of the departments There was no leisure class there, as now and in consequence the social life and gayety centred large ly around the hotels. The principal hotel in that day was the National, and there had the good luck to live, with my mother, during part of the stirring times in the war. My mother occupied the suite of rooms in which Henry Clay had formerly lived Clay had been a great friend of hers, and in an album which she fortunately made a practice of keeping, I have a copy of one of his speeches made by himself from mem ory,and of which Idoubt there is not an other copy in existence. This is but one of the many valuable fragments contained in this album, which hold in such esteem that I have it locked up with a safe deposit company to insure it's preservation.
 "At that time all of the justices of the Supreme Court lived at the National Ho- tel, together with a number of Senators and a host of lesser lights. Statesmen and politicians of all classes thronged the corridors at all times, and dinner used to be most brilliant and interest ing function. Beau Hickman too, could frequently be seen there trying to prove the truth of his assertion that the world owed him a living. It was, however, but poor barroom loafer's living he got
 Of course life was not entirely con- fined to the hotels. Sumner had his own home. It is now part of the Ar lington Hotel. His personality was for bidding, but once you overcame this he was a most interesting companion. Webster lived then in the house that w. w. Corcoran, the philanthropist, pur- chased and where the Brices still later were to entertain so royalty. It is, 1 believe, about to become the residence of Senator Depew. My mother used
