BRIDGEPORT.
Chronicle of Daily Events in the
Town Across the Way.

Mr. Robert Giffin, a bricklayer Of the
Aetna-Standard met with painful acct
dent last evening about five O'Clock. Mr..
Giffn was preparing to repair a furnace
and it is the rule to always try the fur
mace with torch and see if there is any
gas in it. Mr.. Gifhn stuck his torch in
the furnace only to find it full of gas.
The explosion knocked him about six feet
into a pit. He was picked up by his fel-
low workmen and DR. Wagner was called.
Mr.. Glffin was severely burned on the
hands ard face, the flame being so strong
as to burn his beard and hair on the right
side as if he had been shaved. He was
brought home and al a late hour last night
was resting as well as could be expected.

Mafeking. and that severe lighting took
place.
From Delagoa Bay comes reports OF
the arrival OF more German officers and
artillerymen, who have volunteered to
serve with the Transvaal forces.
The war ONCE semi-offcially asserts
that all news received from South At
RIGA has been published with the ex-
ception Of demands for the renewal Of
stores, war material and the like.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that
more troops have been ordered from
India to the Cape.
The plan of operations on both sides
is slowly unfolding itself. Gen. Jou-
bert is evidently moving south to pre-
vent, if possible. the junction of the
British relieving forces with the forces
at Estcourt and Ladysmith, while on
the Orange river the Beers are believed
to be concentrating at Donkerpoort to
oppose Gen. Buffers advance. 1t is
said six thousand Beers have already
laagered at Donkerpoort-
The English plan seems to be three
fold advance from Durham to Lady
smith, from Orange river to Kimberley
and from East London by way Of
Queenstown to Burghersdorp. Gen.
Butler has wired the commanding Off
Ger at Queenstown announcing the dis
patch OF Gen. Gatacre with the First
battalion CT the Seventh brigade to
East London. This was the place from
which it was originally intended that
Gen. Gatacres column should start.
Thus it is possible that Gen. Buffers
first plans have suffered less modifica-
ton than some have supposed.

In the Democratic Executive Committee In
Favor of an Early Convention.
CHICAGO, November 20 There was
a strong feeling among the committee
men present at the Democratic Com
mlttee in favor of holding the national
convention earlier in the year than has
been the custom heretofore. A number
OF the committee expressed themselves
as being in favor OF holding the con-
vention in April or May. preferably the
latter month. A strong delegation was
present from Milwaukee, to press the
claims of that city and the Wisconsin
men did some very energetic lobbying
during the day. No delegation was
present from any other city. II was not
within the province of the executive
committee to take any action regarding
the convention, but a bonus OF $4,000
to the campaign fund, which had been
made by Kansas City and Milwaukee,

ANOTHER "QUEER" GO
In Which John Finnegan Was a Principal.
Ryan His Opponent.

Ryan His Opponent.
John Finnegan, of Pittsburg, went
down to st. Louis with Jack Bonner,
and took Bonner's place against Aus
tralian Ryan, in twenty-round go,
which had a very queer" appearance.
The St. Louis Republic says of the
contest:
Then Mr. Ryan, Of Australia, made
his bow. Jack Bonner was to have
fought him twenty rounds, but when
Tim Hurst introduced Bonner in street
clothes and announced that he had a
very bad abscess on his left jaw, which
was OFFICIALLY evident, there was a
howl Hurst then introduced Jack
Finnegan, who last Tuesday fought
Bonner a twenty-round draw in Wheel
ing, w. Va. The wrath of the multi
tude was somewhat appeased, paStic
ularly when Finnegan stripped young
Goliath Of the ring, a splendidly built,
strapping fellow of rudy complexion
and muscular appearance.
After he fought twenty rounds with
Ryan the bout was declared a draw.
Truth to tell, the fight might have
been better, for though Ryan is hard
puncner, he is a swinger, not a stab
Der or cracker, and Finnegan seemed
a bit awkward and lacking in punching
knowledge. But it was a go which
might end any moment. and kept the
people guessing and more or less hap
by. Ryan was forever unwinding his
Australian right swing, which had an.
orbit from his heels to the flies. Fin
negan was a deal the taller man and
good bit the heaviest. He held before
Ryan's onslaught in good style and won
the approval of the crowd who saw
that he was young, strong, inexperi
enced fellow up against an old-timer.
Ryan did most of the forcing, but Fin
negan came back in good form and at
no time was there much to choose.
Ryan used bad judgment with his
swings, for he could not hand the right
to the jaw over Finnegan's shoulder,
the Pittsburger being too tall to allow
the shorter man to cross him success
fully. Time after time he threw ter
rife punches away over the shoulder.
Toward the end he did not go under
and for the stomach, but in doing so
his hand came in contact with Finne-
CAMS elbow, and he broke two fingers
and thumb, whihc he claimed han
dicapped him.
Ryan did not use his left much at
any time. so he did not lose his life
when he broke that hand. At no time
in the go was either man in trouble.
Ryan landed about three good rights
on the face and similar number on
the body during the twenty rounds. He
found Finnegan an awkward customer,
hard to handle by reason of his very
inagility and unexpected motions.
Then, he is strong fellow. with a
long reach. and droll methods of Of
Tense. At close quarters his right was
his best hand"

ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN.
James Edwards War Absent Thirty Years
and Found His Wife Was Married.

PHILADELPHIA, PS, November 20.
After an absence Of thirty years,
James Edwards, whose home is now in
Denver, Col, returned TO this city and
discovered that his wife had been d.
vorced from him and married to an
other man.
Thirty-five years ago Edwards mar
ried Miss Belle Hickman, of this city,
whose parents were wealthy. Edwards
was in poor circumstances and his
wife's mother opposed the marriage.
The couple lived together for five years
but at the end of that time. Mrs. Hick-
man is alleged to have brought about
a separation. Edwards went to New
York, and slowing himself away on a
sailing ship, arrived in San Francisco.
From there he ent into the interior
and secured work in the mines. By
practicing economy he accumulated
some money and eventually established
himself in lucrative business in Den
yer.
Edwards says he repeatedly wrote 20
his wife in this city, but never received
an answer, and since his return it has
transpired that she failed to get the
letters.
Not hearing from her husband for
fifteen years, MRS. Edwards advertised
and received a letter from Denver in
forming her that man answering her
husbands description had been killed
by a fall from his horse. Mrs. Ed
wards, not certain that her husband was
dead, secured a divorce and remarked.
Edwards succeeded in meeting his
former wife upon his return here.
There were explanations all around and
he bid her farewell and went back to
Denver.

Lovers of the drama will be pleased
to learn of the coming OF such a meri-
torious production as Sowing the
