Prosecuting Agent Pierce and z. f.

South Main street, are the principals
in a rather sensational hunting incl
dent winch occurred yesterday after
noon in the woods west of NVateryille
Mr. Pierce is not yet certain whether
an attempt was made on his life,
though the others who figured in it say
it was all an accident.
Mr. Gallagher and a friend named
Meyers formed one hunting party and
Mr. Pierce and Charles A. Templeton,
of the firm of Hotchkiss & Templeton,
South Main street, formed the other
party They had been shooting all day
with fair success and towards the close
Of the afternoon both parties met in
the woods west of Waterville This
place has borne first-class reputation
among hunters during the present sea-
son. Quail is said to be so plentiful
that any kind of a marksman cannot
shoot without bringing down two or
three of flock. Mr. Gallagher and Mr.
Meyers have been especially successful
in that place. Each party was aware
or. the others presence in the neigh
borhood and were accordingly more
careful in shooting
They were shooting with Indifferent
success for some time until Mr. Gala
|. Cher saw a shot from which he ex-
pected great things. He fired and the
next moment the woods echoed to a
great cry Of pain and strong language.
Before Mr. Gallagher or his friend
Meyers had ceased wondering what
had caused the outcry Mr. Pierce and
his friend Templeton were down upon
them. Mr. Pierce was evidently shot
in the right wing, as base ball players
say, for it hung limp by his side Mr.
| TeInDleton said he was also shot. but
further than a few grains la his
jacket no evidence of harm was found
on him. But Mr. Pierce said he was
killed and crippled and shot to pieces.
and he asked between grllnts and
gfoans of agony what kind Of a marks
man Mr. Gallagher could be when he
shot at least LOO yards out of range of
the birds. There was a great deal OF
anxiety and excitement. for it was
tho1lght that Mr. Pierce was really seri-
oHsly hurt. The quartet got TO Water
vile as fast as they could and by that
time the excitement had died away
and Nr Pierce found he had a close as-
cape from serious harm re was hit
on the right hand with a few shot and
q few more stuck in his Jacket.

ANOTHER PUZzLING CASE
Della Mulligan in a State of
Coma for 23 Days.

The Case Is Similar to the Nellie Cor
coran Case Which Attracted So
Much Notice-The Girl Was Being
Treated for Partial Asphyxiation-
Doctors Believe she Will Not Re
cover.
New York, Nov 19.-Delia Mulligan,
who came from Ireland iIl October
and secured work as a servant here,
has lain in state of coma at the j..
Hood Wright hospital for the past
twenty three days. Her case is al
most as puzzling and interesting to
the doctors as that Of Nellie Coreoran,
who died after her three weeks
trance in st yincent's hospital Only
twice in the period has the girl spoken
and then it was to lnuttcr few
words which showed that she was de-
lirious. The girl was taken to the
hospital suffering from partial as
plyxiation due to blowing ont the gas.
The usual means Of resuscitation were
used. The only effect was to restore
the patients appetite. Her pulse and
temperature also became normal. The
state Of coma has, however, resisted
the doctors best efforts and they have
given up hope Of restoring her to con-
sciousness.

ELoPED FROM MIDDLEToWN.
Mrs G. B. Harris and Howard Henni-

gar MISSING since OcIODer 81.
Middletown, Nov 19.-Love and the
camera went hand in hand in the case
of the elopement at Middletown of
Mrs George B. Harris, wife Of the
produce dealer, and Howard Hennigar
aged 40, and a photographer of that
town. Hennigar is also married. Mrs
Harris is % years old and very pretty.
She had a son six years of age and the
child has been missing since the day
of the elopement, October so.
The good town is talking of nothing
else. The husbandless wife of Ifenni-
gar is no more wrought up than is the
Wifeless husband Of Mrs Harris. Law
yers are of course holding consulta-
tions with the afflicted pair. The sad
lest part of the affair is the illness of
the aged mother of Hennigar. who is
prostrated by the disappearance of her
son.
The Hennigars and the Harris fam
lily were next door neighbors and the
Hennigar residence was 400 High street
while the abode of the Harrises is 500
High. This is the fashionable part Of
the town near the college. Thus
everybody concerned is well acquaint-
ed and both the deserted wife and the
deserted husband are able to think
over what charms each of the elopers
should find in each other.

ROBBERY AT STANFORD.
Eight of the Rings Taken from Jewe1ry
Store Found To-day. -


Stamford, Nov 19.-One of the most
daring and successful robberies ever
perpetrated in this city took place ear
ly last evening in the jeWeIry store of
Alexander Weed. and as result that
merchant lost diamonds valued at
about $1,000. Shortly before O'Clock
a stranger entered the jeWelry store
and requested AIr Weed to show him
some diamond rings. The jeweler
produced two trays containing twenty
one diamond rings. At this juncture
Frederick Sackett, a New York mes
senger, entered and retired to the fur
ther end of the store. Mr. Weed left
his customer for a moment to converse
with Sackett, when the stranger made
hasty exit, saying as he went out
the door: ST have got what / want
ed. -
Mr. Weed perceived in a moment
that the man had purloined every ring
in the two trays. He and Sac41ett i'm
mediately gave chase, and they were
joined by several other persons. The
robber ran half block up Atlantic
avenue, where he disappeared behind
the opera house. Thence he made
his way through several back streets
and eluded his pursuers. It is
thought that he made direct for the
country. A large party was immedi-
ately organized to search for the man,
but at midnight he had not been found.

CAPT RICHARDSON TO LEAVE.
About Town To-Day Introducing His
Successor.

Successor.
Captain B. A. Richardson of tie To-
cal Salvation army called at the Demo
crat office to-day to thank the paper
for the services it had rendered him
since he came to Waterbury and also
to bid the editor and Office hands good
bye. He is going to his old home in
Baltimore, and while he regrets to
leave the numerous kind people he
has met with in Waterbury, still he is
much pleased at the thought Of being
once more located among the friends
and associates Of his earlier efforts
in Salvation army work. He said he
had nothing but the kindest feeling
toward all the people Of this town and
desired to bid all an affectionate fare
well. The captain was accompanied
by his duly accredited successor. Cap
tain Demos Mataxas of Jersey City, a
modest appearing young man, who
hopes to receive the same cordial re-
ception accorded to those who have
labored here in the field since the
Salvation army established a home in
Waterbury. He said he intends to en-
large the scope of the army in this
city by establishing an Industrial
home and giving employment to num-
Der of the unemployed of the city.
Old iron, tin cans, rags and everything
else that can be converted into money
viii be collected and disposed Of for
what they will bring.
Captain Richardson lived here
through an eyentful period in the his
tory Of the city. He witnessed the big
fire of last February that wiped out
a great portion of the business section
of the town and his place on South
Main street was the center of attrac-
tion during the smallpox epidemic
that run up an expense that cost the
taxpayers about $4,000. OF course
the captain was in no way responsible
for the epidemic, and now that he is
about to leave perhaps it is nothing
more than fair to say that considering
what himself and his wife had to con-
tend with during that time. they ac-
Iqufttad themselves creditably. Tt was
there Joseph Diamond, the first small
pox victim slept. the night before he
was found wandering about the streets
and one or two other cases Of the dis
ease, notably that of John Coffey, who
died at the isolation hospital, were
later discovered at the barracks. Be
sides those stricken with the lnalady
in the neighborhood of forty persons
were quarantined in the building for
several weeks, so that the captain and
his wife didn't have a very pleasant
tine OF 1t while the scare was on.

The Labor Row Now Going on

RUM0Rs ABOUT THE BOYCOTT.

Some Reports Say It Is a Success and
Others Say It Is Not Moulders' Un,
ion Opposes Boycott and Threatens
to Withdraw from Trades Assem-
bly-On the Other Hand the Metal
Polishers Are Hot in Favor of 1t.
Schenectady, N. Y, Nov 19.-The
boycott declared by the Trades assem-
bly, of this city against the Schenec-
tady Railway Go is finding practically
no support. The usual number OF
cars are being run to-day, each with
its full quota of passengers.
The bitterness expressed at the
nesting last evening of the Trades as
sembly finds an echo to-day in local
labor circles, and the fact that the ac-
ton of the body in declaring the boy
cott was not rescinded has intensified
the situation. The Metal Polishers'
union is in favor of having the action
rescinded, while the Moulders' union
is opposed to it. Each of these organ
iZations has threatened TO withdraw
from the Trades assembly if its wish
es are not met, and conservative labor
men to-day are of the opinion that a
general row will follow the present
crisis, to be followed by the reorgani-
zation of the Trades assembly.
The subject will come up at the
regular meeting next Wednesday even
ing.

enterprise the city daily has passed be
