IN EAST NORWALK.
Brave Rescue of an Old Man From a
 Watery Grave.

Brave Rescue of an Old Man From a
 Watery Grave.
 A story of of brave rescue from drowning is being told about East Now walk April 9.
 Charles Merritt, William Blascer and Clifford Randall were attracted shortly before nine o'clock last night by the cries of some person, who appeared to be out on the meadows abutting River side avenue. The young men, eager for adventure, made their way through the mud in the direction of the cries until they reached a place where the mead ows ended abruptly with drop of over five feet, the declivity being composed of slippery mud. Here they found the object of their search An old man nearly seventy years of age, greatly un- der the influence of liquor, was floun- dering in the mud, with the tide rising rapidly. The young men lost no time. They hastened to boat lying near, and cutting the ropes with which she was moored, brought them over to the place where the man was in donger of drown ing. By the aid of the cordage and af- ter much exertion the poor fellow was hauled out, in q rather rumpled condi- ton. His clothes were covered with mud; his face was mud; his hair was mud; in fact, he was mud from head to foot. The rescuers then conveyed the old man to his home as he was too be- wildered to know where he was. The last heard of him was the words caught by the retreating fellows: ''As sure as God lets me live, Maria. I'll never tauch another drop. .'-Norwalk Hour

THE TOTTEN SUIT
Instituted Against the New York Sun
 Will be Pushed.

Instituted Against the New York Sun
 Will be Pushed
 The suit for $10,000 brought by Lieu tenant c. A. l.. Totten against the Sun Publishing company, of New York, for alleged libel will be pushed, and it IS expected that it will come up in the courts very soon In the course of the alleged defamatory publication as set forth in the complaint are these lines:
 .grhe author (meaning the Kheiralla), who instructs us on so vital matter as the salvation of the world, quotes re- peatedly from the eminent mathemati- clan and prophet (meaning the plain tiff) who was summarily disassoclated from Yale college because he was judg- ed, in the undress language of that seat of learning, to be off his nut (mean- ing the plaintiff was of unsound mind, and that he had been summarily dis missed or discharged or recalled by the United States government from his said detail as professor of military science and tactics at Yale university on ac- count of the belief of the authorities or the same that the plaintiff was of un- sound mind)."
 Mt might be interesting to state in re- gard to the above statement that Fro lessor Totten not only finished his term of three years as professor of military science and tactics at the Sheffield Scl- entific school at Yale, but was allowed to take three months over the regular term in order to complete his college work. Professor Totten performed ms duties to the full satisfaction Of the au- thorities of Yale and of the war depart ment, by which he was appointed, and' moreover established a course at the Sheffield Scientific school that contln- ued to meet with great favor until the breaking out of the war with Spa1n' when the army officers were all needed. The successors of Lieutenant Totten were Captain Petit and Captain Mur- ray, both of whom served three years.
 The New York counsel for Lieutenant Totten are Murray, Bennett x lnger- soil, the last named being George r. Ingersoll formerly of this city, and George E. Beers is retained as Lleuten- mt Totten's counsel in New Haven.

 bration of the battle of Williamsburg,

 Arthur Bertram Price, one of the most
 popular and best known of the recent
 graduates of the Hillhouse high school, died early yesterday morning at the home of his parents, MT. and Mrs Will. liam B. Price, on York street, after an 1 illness of about ten days. Death was caused by typhoid fever which he con- tracted on the last day of March, and the condition of the young man grew rapidly worse until death resulted yes- terday. The best of medical care was taken in order to save the young mans life, but all efforts of the physicians were fruitless. He leaves, besides his mother and father, brother, William B. Price, jr., two years older than he was

He graduat- ed with the class of 1900 Hlllhouse high school and all through his course he was at the head of the class in studies and was also one of the best all-round athletes the school has turned out in a number of years. His work in the class room was such that made him favor ite with his instructors and won for him the esteem of great many of the scholars in the school. Out of school he was also very popular. He was cap tain of the baseball team last year and for three years he played full-back on the football team. Young Price was member of the Alpha Delta Sigma so- ciety and was an editor of the Radiator on a number of volumes.
 This afternoon there will be a meet ing of the class of 1900 in the high school to take action on his death. The meeting will be held in room 10 and will be called immediately after the close of the regular school session.
