Mrs Fred Lake of 1154 Bank street left yesterday for Harrington, Mass, 10 De present at the funeral of ! rela- i've Held ln that place to-day.
 Ut was an eloquent and stirring sermon that was delivered on "Death" at St Patrlck's S church last evening by the Rev Father Rigney of Seymour Ihls evening Rev Father Michael. o. t. M., of Winsted, will speak on "The Justice of God.'
 Many persons, especially store. Keepers, are often tormented and dis turbed by youngsters who coneresare ln 1ront Of their property and perform all Kinds of antics, which, though harmless in nature, yet cause considerable annoyance to people. These youngsters think they have the privilege of singing coon son.ss, giving cake walks, speaking boisterously and o1ten profanely in front of anybody's property. stOrckeeper on Charles street was the recipient of such an en- tertalnment gratuitously on Wednes- day evening. He was annoyed in scy- eral other ways also. The boys, so II Is said, We're purposely annoying him so that they might have q chase from the proprietor. The latter hit upon 6 novel scheme. Seizing several eggs he rushed to the door. At the same time the tormentors dashed up Charles street. Quick as a flash the store- keeper let the eggs fly. One of tue boys was struck in the back Of the neck, while another was struck in .he arm. The boys annoyed that storekeeper no more that evening, and it is doubtful if they will in the flu. ture.
 There Is movement on foot among several members Of tie St Thomas Cadets A. A. to form a re1a- team to consist of four members. It is the purpose of the originators, when the team has been organized. to issue challenge to any club or any team in the city for match race for one milo. The St Thomas Cadets X. A. has on irs membership roll q number Cf speedy rrnners. several of whom have shown on several oocaSiCns that they are composed of the right material. Among them are Henry Eatters. John Raglcy. Phil Reilly. Patrick Kelly and James Ray. Eaters is q fleet runner and was one of the foremost runners at Holy Gross college during his coi- lagiatc career. He possesses q number Of trophies, memorials of victories won on th" track while at the above col Icge. His easy victory over strong competitors in the 13Cyard dash whicl: was given at the Athletic fietG last fall is still remembered. Bagley was also prominent in track events at Nillanova college. and like Eaters. he Is tho possessor of several prizes which he won on account of his su- perior foot work. Reilly, Kelly and Ray, though they have not won any prizes as vet for their ability as fleet
 runners. are nevertheless quick, fast
 men. X team composed of any four of these young men would be rather l formidable and it would be difficult 1 to find their superiors in the city ill q | match race at one mile.

IDENTIFIED THE BOYS.
All Three Stoutly Deny That Mamie
 Paige Was Drugged.

New York. March 14.-Although all three boys implicated in the Mamie Paige affair-the girl who, 1t is alleged, was drugged in Brooklyn as was Jen- nie Bosschieter in Parerson-admit their part in the caSe all agree in lay ing the blame on the girl. Each is willing to plead guilty to a simple charge of assault. but each insists no drug was used All say the girl went 10 the stable willingly and remained of her own accord, even after she was taken violently i'll.
 Brooklyn detectives succeeded in ar resting yesterday David Patterson and Edward Gleason, the other two boys implicated. They already had in GUS tody young Abbott. Patterson and Gleason were taken before Mamie, and she said they were the two who held her while Abbott forced q liquid that stupefied her down her throat.
 After the identification they were arraigned with Aboott and held with cut bail to await the results of NIamie's injuries. She still lies in her fathers home in No 194 Pearl street, and her physician says that although she has improved she is not yet out of danger.
  poison that caused her serious condi- ton and wonders how she ever lived through the terrible experience.
 After searching for Gleason and Pat terson all night, the detectives went to Manhattan and at New Chambers
 street and Park row they found the two boys. They were taken to the Adams street police station and there i, told their version of the affair. Gleason is IS years old and lives at No 137 Concord street. He is en- ployed by H. D. Grim, ] contractor. He said:
 II met Abbott and Patterson with Mamie Paige. cn Jay street near tine
 pro- Cathedral Abbott led ihe way 10 his fathers stable in Chapel alley and Mamie didn't even say she didn' want TO go. We stayed ir the stable con- siderable time. 'She was seized with fit and Ab- bolt got some brandy and poured 1t
 down her throat. It didn't do any good and we rubbed her hands and temples, but she still remained unconscious. We became scared, on account of the 1 Bosschieter case in Paterson, and VIC remained in the stable all night and 1 worked to bring her to.
 At s o'clock in the morning left, but came back and remained until 10 o'clock, when Mrs Abbott eame into | the stable and told Patterson and I to tell Mamie's mother. We sent q boy and about noon N- raiSe came ard i took her home. This is the true story i and if Mamie says anything different she's not telling the truth.' Patterson Is also IS years old, ard lives 'n No o5 Dnficld street. He says ! he met Abbott near Chapel alley and Abbott said he had girl in .hc stable, and asked Patterson to come ill. He admits he did.
 Abbott refused to talk, saying his ] mother had paid q lawyer to do thu, I talking. Neither of the young fellows l appeared to realize the shocking na- ture of the charge against them.

SURE IT IS COLONEL sHERIDEN
Photograph Sent on Recognized by
 Members of c. N. G.

Members of c. N. G. Bridgeport, March 1.-The man who committed suicide in hotel in Bel fast, Ireland. has been identified by friends in this city as Colonel James Sheridan. Captain Frederick Master son, formerly of Company K, c. N. G.. was in New York yesterday and called at the Mulberry street station, where he was shown a photograph of the sui eide, with description, and he is pos itive in his own mind that the dead man was no other than the former col onel of the Fourth regiment.
 Major Gilbert l.. Fitch of the first battalion, Fourth regiment, who re- sides in Stamford, was also in New York yesterday, and he also saw the photograph. He says the photograph is that of Colonel Sheridan, and from association with the former colonel both military men are competent to recognize his features. Especially is this true of Captain Masterson, who has known Colonel Sheridan for many years.
 Captain Masterson said that the col onel had sister somewhere in West chester county, New York, and that on February IT Colonel Sheridan was a guest at small hotel in New York. He took his grip presumably to go to Bowling Green, but probably left for Ireland. Colonel Sheridan was a mem Der of Cecil Calvert council Knights Of Columbus, and Court Waldemere, Foresters of America.
