A Police Raid at 645 Chapel Street Last
 Night.

 precinct and Patrolmen Streit, Phil Smith and Sessler about midnight last
 night made raid at the cigar store
 of Lester Ullman at 645 Chapel street, and there arrested the proprietor and crowd of eleven young men whom they found gambling in the basement Numerous complaints concerning the place have been made to the police lately by the parents of boys who, the parents complain, were losing money there and accordingly a warrant for the proprietor, Ullman, was made out. Armed with this warrant sergeant Hayes and his detail visited the place last night. The place appeared dark and deserted, but Sergeant Hayes knew that it was not as it appeared He sta toned Patrolman Streit at the front door and with Patrolmen Smith and Sessler went to the rear door, Leaving the two men at the rear door the Ser geant went in and down to the base ment where he found a crowd of young men gathered about q table covered with green cloth shooting craps.
 The sergeant stood just outside the door for few minutes and watched the game and listened to the conversation going on inside, which was mainly about bets on the game. One of the players had just said T bet half dol lar when Sergeant Hayes stepped in and said T call you'
 A crowd of dumbfounded players looked up at this Interruption, and i'm nedlately there was a scramble. The players tried to hide in every conceiv- able place in the cellar, and it is thought that some did escape. One, eolored man, was found hiding in a coal bin on his hands and knees.

DROWNED IN MILL RIVER.
William slattery Fell from n Wharf on
 Which Be Was Playing.

l William Slattery, a fifteen-year- old
 boy who resided with his uncle, Ed ward Slattery at No 1S6 James street, was drowned late yesterday afternoon in Mill river near the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad companys power house.
 The boy and his uncle had been at the new wharf of the railroad company on Mill river late In the afternoon and about o'clock the uncle went home.
 When the boy did not come home to supper the uncle went to the wharf to call him but did not find him there. The boys dog, however which had for long time been his inseparable com panion, was on the wharf acting strangely and very much excited. The fears of MT Slattery and some other men who came along were arous- ed and they began a search for the boy. A short distance below the wharf his body was found by Christopher Smith, an emoloye of the New Haven Rolling mill, and was removed from the water.
 Sergeant Mcbride of the Grand ave nue police station was notified of the drowning by MT. Slattery, the uncle of the unfortunate boy, and Sergeant Mc- Bride notified Dr. Eliot. the acting med ical examiner, in the absence of Medi- cal Examiner Dr. Bartlett. pr. Eliot after an investigation of the clrcum- stances decided that the case was un- doubtedly one os accidental drowning. The remains were removed to Sisk $ un- dertakfng rooms on Grand avenue. The boy was an orphan and had lived with his uncle, Edward Slattery, several years. It is thought that while play ing about the edge of the wharf yes terday afternoon he fell in and was drowned, no one being near by to rescue him.

ty! There is one poor fellow in jail
 now because he cannot pay eight dol- lars. He owed one of these instalment | Wretches some four dollars and half. The court fees were two dollars and
 half and the charge for making the ar rest one dollar. If he could not raise four dollars and a half 1t is absolutely out of the question for him to pay eight dollars, so he has to stay in jail, Sometimes friends and neighbors club together and raise the amount ne- cessary to free the unfortunate prison- CT. In other cases the men in this of- flee have made up purse for that pur- pose. This is Just what the instalment men want, and as long as it is done they will continue the practice. l am glad to say that there are some judges who will not try cases of this kind, but the dealers find others who are not so tender-hearted I am going to make strenuous effort to secure legislation on this matter at once, for until the law is changed the dealers will have every thing their own way.
 We are making every effort to econ- omize in this effice I am entitled to twelve deputy sheriffs and twelve assis- tants, and can appoint as many more as seem necessary. I believe the work of the office can be done by the regular salaried deputies and assistants, 1 have appointed several court officers special deputies without salary, which makes it unnecessary to detail men to take charge of juries. In the past many unnecessary special deputies have been appointed, and the expense to the county has been great.-NeW York Tribune.

All Sorts of Bargains to be Found at
 This Big Millinery Store.
 The different styles and prices of the millinery to be found at Muhlfelders', S43 Chapel street, have been the talk of the New Haven people ever since the spring opening of the store revealed them some time ago. The trimmed hats at less than five dollars are seek ing the people who have heretofore had to r9y much higher in order to get hats to their liking. They are copies of many of the imported hats, economical copies and they are all bargains. If you are not ready for your trimmed hat yet, let the ready to wear hat substi- tute. This line of hats that are being shown this year are almost good enough to put in the trimmed hat class. They are graceful becoming and in ev- cry way suitable. The prices in this class range from way down to nearly seven dollars.
