LATEST FAIR HAVEN NEWS.

Rally day Of the Bible school Of the
Grand Avenue Congregational church
was observed on Sunday. The Sunday
school room was handsomely decorated
with quantities of red and green vines.
Every WindoW-sill contained. palm
and was adorned with banks of large
green leaves. Between the windows
were punches of foliage and vines. A
novelty was the scheme of decoration
about the curtains, Topped back to show
the platform. The wire on which they
were hung was entirely hidden by trail
ing vines which fell gracefully over the
curtains. Two cages containing cana
ries hung from the wire and gave a dis
tinctly original finish to the decoration.
The children of the infant class were
invited for the occasion and contributed
songs and Rotations. Addresses were
made by Mr.. Holton, R. w. Roundy and
Superintendent Coleman. The BurWell
uuartette sang; Miss Rose Wiper re-
cited, as did little Miss Fowler, of the
infant department Miss Frances Full
Ter sang and there were songs and rec
itations by the school as a whole. The
rally was a success. s''
There is to be Masonic social at the
home of e. A. Smith in North Branford

sport. - -

RUTH BRYA.N's FIANCE.
Plot Matched by Girls to Kidnap, tt

Plot Matched by Girls to Kidnap, to
.SI Prevent Wedding. f-.s.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. Sensational re-
ports are current here of plot to kid
nap William Homer Leavitt, who Sat-
urday married Miss Ruth Bryan, daugh-
ter of William Jennings Bryan. The
kidnapping was to have been done by
girls of the Delta Gamma society. of
which Miss Bryan was a member and
tht object was TO prevent or delay the
wedding because the girls did not ap-
prove of Mr.. Leayitt as husband for
Miss Bryan. g..
At the last moment the nerve of the
girls failed and the plot was abandoned.
After the plot was formed the girls
sough. the aid of the men students at
the university and got their assistance
to what they were told was college
prank. In detail. the plan was to in
form Mr.. Leavitt that Miss Bryan de-
sired him 20 come to her home imme-
diately and a carriage would call at his
hotel.
Instead of driving to Fairview the car
rage was to drive to cave several
miles in the country south of Lincoln.
Trusting that Nh. Leavitt would not
notice the deception in the dark when
the cave was reached. the university
boys were to overcome Mr.. Leavitt and
place him in the cave, where he would
be kept, Cor the time being. 1t is said
the plot was not abandoned until late
in the afternoon of the, wedding day
when some of the Delta Gamma girls
weakened and Others decided the shock
would be too great for Miss Bryan.

iers at sol Broadway. McGraths alleges
that on April II, Conlon gave him two

signed T. i. Smith, manager.
Mark A. w. McGrath was formerly
manager Of the Edward Malley Co., OF

which he says that on May last Con-
lon obtained from him $500 on two

Conlon added, according to the affi-
davit, that he knew Smith didn't have
