FELL IN ALIGHTING FROM A CAR.
Accident to Young Woman on Chapel
 Street Last Evening"

About o'clock last evening young woman, who refused to give her name, met with an accident while alighting from a car on Chapel street, between Church and Temple, which, while it might have resulted seriously, fortu- nately resulted only in her receiving a slight cut on the right temple.
 The young woman alighted from a west-bound steamboat car, jumping from the car on the side next to the h. surance building. The street is torn up there for the new pavement and the rails stand ID at least eight inches above the present surface When the young woman struck the ground she stumbled and fell headlong across the east-bound track. She threw cut her hands to save herself and succeeded in breaking the force of her fall. As it was, she struck her head against rail and cut gash in her forehead. She held her handkerchief to the wound and walked over to Mix's drug store at the corner of Chapel and Church streets, where the wound was dressed.

ONE sAvIN ROCK POLICEMAN
Found Beastly Drunk in His Uniform
 Saturday Ni<ht.

! Found Beastly Drunk in His Uniform Saturday NNht.
 Saturday evening about il o'clock
 one of the Savin Rock policemen was l found in a beastly state of intoXication | in the rear of one of the places on the | Savin Rock Bowery. He lay stretched l out in his uniform and wearing his l badge, insensible and obvious to the world. Persons who found him lying there notified Walter Main, the first se i lectman of Orange. The policeman was a town officer, and Selectman Main, hurrying down to the shore, found the officer in the condition as reported to him. MT. Main promptly stripped off his shield and took his club and gave orders that he be allowed to lie where he was until awakened from his drunk en sleep.
 It was remarked upon in West Ha ven last night that the drunken officer had formerly been employed by an or ganization engaged in attempting to suppress crime in the state, and that it was on the recommendation of one of the chief officers of that organization that he was appointed policeman by the Orange selectmen.

ON SEPARATE JURISDICTION.

Committee of A. o. U. W. Will Make Report To-Night.
 Important committees recently ap- pointed by the Ancient Order of Unit ed Workmen will hold a meeting this evening in the ante-room of Israel Put nam lodge. At this conference it is ex- pected that a report will be made fla voring separate jurisdiction for the Connecticut lodges of the order which are now under the jurisdiction of Mass achusetts. A report will also be made on the subject of classified assessments.
 This question of separate jurisdiction has been frequently agitated and now bids fair to be brought to a head. The number of members of the order living in this state has grown so large in re- cent years that it appears to be for the benefit of all concerned that the separa- ton should be made, thus permit ting Massachusetts members to govern their affairs to suit their fancy, and allow ing the same privelege to the Connect icut membership.

A MEMORABLE OCCASION
AT-GRA CE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
 CHURCH YESTERDAY,
seventy Probattoners United With the Church-Six Others Admitted by Letter A Second Class of Probationers to Come in the Fali-Patriottc Service and Address by the Pastor.

Yesterday was indeed a memorable
 day in the history of the Grace Meth
 odist Episcopal church. Seventy of the
 1901 probationers united with the
 church in full membership. There were
 also six accessions by letter and one
 voluntarily came forward to the altar
 and united with the church on proba-
 tion. This addition makes the Grace
 church the second largest Methodist 1 Episcopal church in New Haven as far as membership is concerned. A second class of probationers will be received in the fall. The sacrament of baptism
 was administered to seven adults and children Three hundred U. S. A. flags were given out at the morning service.
 The patriotic flag service in the evening was largely attended. There were
 many features of special interest. An
 drew Moorhead presided in his usual
 happy way. The music by the quar-
 tette choir under the leadership of Carl A. Mears was inspiring. The flag sa- lute conducted by Daniel Ackley cre- ated great enthusiasm. The recitation, ''The American Flag" by Miss Rebecca Harris, was finely rendered and if it had not been Sunday evening would have been loudly encored The ad- dress of the pastor, Rev. A. J. Smith,
 on 'The Flag and the Cross" was earnest and eloquent. In closing his speech he said And when the smoke of battle is lifted we see the fair form of Liberty standing upon her lofty pedestal looking out with calm and se- rene countenance upon a nation re- deemed by the blood of its heroes, liber- ated from the Atlantic to the Pacific the Star Spangled Banner still waving over land and sea. Here surging the flag and waving it over the audience he continued: Forever wave that standard' sheet. He must be cold in- deed who can look upon it's stars and stripes without a cheer Wave on thou peerless matchless banner of the free; wave on over the army and the navy, over the cottage and the mansion, over the living and the dead, over the land and the sea, over the land of the free. and the home of the brave. But higher than all earth's banners I would lift the banner of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, just underneath it no higher, may it never be lower, our coun- t y's flag. Let its white be the symbol of purity, it's blue the symbol of truth, it's red be indicative of the bloody sac rifice by which it was won.

 The body of the unknown man found washed ashore at Rocky Beach, near Woodmont, Saturday morning was buried yesterday in Oak Grove ceme- terv, West Haven. by the Orange town authorities, not having been yet iden- t!fed. The remains were badly decom- posed and it was impossible to hold them longer for Identification, while it is improbable, from the state of the body, that it could have been identified by any one who knew tne man in life. The man was apparently between fifty and sixty years of age, and Tn his pock- cts were found a bunch of keys and a cheap watch, but no papers or other articles from which Identification would be possible.

Ohio's Presidents.

One of our contemporaries points
out the fact that some strange fatality
seems to overhang the presidents
which the state of Ohio has given to
the nation.
Out of the four presidents who hayc
hailed from the Buckeye state, Presi-
dent Hayes is the only one who survlv-
ed his term of Office. William Henry
Harrison died before he had been in
the white house thirty days. James
A. Garfield was assassinated in the
summer which Immediately followed
his inauguration as president, and
William Mckinley was just entering
upon his second term of Office when
the assassius bullet laid him low.
But of course there is nothing in the
superstitiOus idea that the fatalities
which have oyertaken the chief ex-
ecutives in question proce I'd from the
fact that they represented the state OF
Ohio. Beyond the mere coincidence
involved there is no significance what
ever in the fact that three Of the presi-
dents furnished by Ohio have died in
office.
