vANDALS IN CHURCH.
Stratford Youths Desecrate Walls Of
The Church.

Stratford, July Within a few
hours after the Sunday evening SER
vice at the Neighborhood church of
Stratford. of which the Rev Charles
Seymour Bullock is pastor, the exter-
ior of the edifice was desecrated. With
that surplus of energy which burned
alleged witches at the stake and coun-
tenanced other inhumanities during
the early days of the colonies, a gang,
presumably of boys or young men.
visited the church in Stratford and
wrote improper sentences on the walls.
The vandalage was discovered Tues
day morning and steps were taken i'm
mediately to efface the marks on the
exterior of the edifice. where in prom
inent letters were inscribed sentiments
which were hardly In keeping with
the sacred nature of church. The
offending words, and it is said the still
more offensive pictures. were painted
out so that the. church might not be
held responsible for the pranks of
some of the flower of Stratford's
youth, which bordered pretty closely
upon the malicious

OIL STOVE EXPLODED.
Caused a Little Excitement on South
View Street This Mornins

Ihls morning about 7:3O O'CLOCK an
Oh stove exploded at the residence of
!. j. Hanlon, on the third floor Of the
Brennan block on South View street
as IS soon as somebody could reach box
oS2 on Baldwin street an alarm was
sent in and the department responded.
put when the wagons got to the place
the blaze was under control, Mr. Han
Ions brother extinguishing it before it
did much damage A sewing machine
was badly scorched, but aside from
this the damage done was not worth
mentioning. 1t was fortunate that the
blaze was successfully combatted for a
fire there If 1T gained much Roadway
would have ruined the whole block and
probably resulted in serious accidents
to some Of the occupants. The firemen
have wholesome dread of explosions
in oil and gasolene stoves, and with
good reason, too, for they have seen
some horrible results Of such things.

WATER BEING WASTED
ON PRATT PLACE

Residents of Pratt place believe that
there is not much likelihood of water
famine here during the present year.
They claim that there is a break In the
private pipe in that street for a long
time and although they reported the
fact to the water works, nothing has
been done about it. There are two
services in that street, one small pri-
vate pipe which originally supplied the
six houses with city water, and six
inch main put in a couple of years ago
by the city. Two of the houses are con-
nected with the six-ineh main, but the
others are still fed from the old one.
The break is in the private pipe and
should be fixed, If for no other reason
other than to prevent waste Of water.
The proper thing for the city to do is
discontinue the use of the private pipe
altogether and connect all the houses
with the new service and have done
with the trouble. This is the course
followed in all such cases and it was a
mistake not to have done it on Pratt
place.

secret service Agent Arrested.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July To
Frank O. Lambert of Worcester, Mass,
who has been in the employ of the law
department of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad as Sc
cret service agent, is under arrest at
police headquarters charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenees.
It is alleged that he offered 20 give in<
formation regarding thieves who had
obtained tickets from the railroad and
who were selling them at cut rates and
that after he was employed By the road
as secret agent he failed to make
good his promise.

Did YOU HEAR

of the new wrinkle of the Botanist
chap? You can drink 10 WHISTLES, doz
Beer and 2 bottles of Champagne if
you take three tablespoonsful of
Sweet Oil; if you get jagged, eat a
half head of Cabbage and you are so
ber,'' remarked the man with the long
neck. '"To be a Kid or a Cow" re-
piled the man with the copper nose.
They then adjourned to Cafe to test
the new recipe. If our Friends would
take some BROWNS QUICKFTRE
CHARCOAL. break it up fine, put it
in their filters, and drink water,
which God, in Els bounty and good
ness, has freely provided for all His
creatures, they would not need Sweet
Oil to protect their stomach, or Cab
bage to sober them.

AUTOS LOCKED.
One Bumped the Other and Only
Crowbars Would Part Them.

Hartford, July 1.-Two Pope test
cars became so tightly interlocked at
New Britain yesterday that it was ne
cessary to pry them apart with crow
bars. One Of the machines was fol
lowing the other when the driver of
the forward one sIackened his speen
unnoticed by the driver in the rear.
AS a consequence there was a collision
which locked the front end of the
rear machine to the rear end Of the
forward one. The machines were
run to a repair shop. where by the use
of crowbars they were pried apart.

would make a bee line for home at an
