NEVER BURNED COAL.
Tsrryville Ofacial Clings to the Old
 Time Customs.

Terryyille, Sept 22.-Allison Bunnell of this village, for over forty years has lived on his little farm of thirty-hve acres, not far from the village of East Church, and walked one and half miles each day toc work and back, and in all that time he was never absent from his work when the mill was rum ming. and he was never late. He gave up his employment about two years ago and since that time takes care ot his chickens and COW and cuts up his tirewood.
 He and his aged wife live alone, as they have all the years of their welded life, which covers period but little short of fifty years They have never burned a pound of coal in lithe house and the wood for next winter IS thof-' oughly seasoned and is stored in shed next the house. There has neyeH. been a lamp in the house. The old man made statement yesterday that he noticed some time ago that gram was going to be higher and that he went to Bristol and bought all he would need for many months to come. He also said that he had stock Of flour on hand that would last him for two months
 While the old mans politics is not those of the dominant party in Ply mouth he was kept in office as grand Juror until last fall when he refused an election. and in all that time he says that he never lost but two crim- inal prosecutions. In appearance he is much under the average in height and weight. He wears the brown denim oyeralls that were common In rural districts twenty-five years ago and a pair of army brogans. 1t is a safe guess that his bill for clothing for a series of years past has not averaged $10 a year.
 All this is in accordance with the generation to which he belonged and to the community in which he lived. While the old man is i'll perfect health 4.e cannot boast of much physical strength, but that he has plenty of courage is proved by the fact that a few months ago he was the only man in the immediate neighborhood who would go to the rescue of a woman who was being pounded by her broth er-in-law at o'clock in the morning.
 The man who was making the as- eault was known as bully and the men of that community declined to take hand in the matter. Mir Bun nell went to the house and was set upon and cruelty beaten by the man, but there is no doubt but that his in- terference saved the woman perhaps from death.
 Years of toll in the shop and small farm where most of the necessities of life could be produced at home during the hours when he was not at the shop, aided by the thrift and careful econo- mics of his wife, have resulted in giv- ing these old people competence for their old age. What he may be worth is not known, but 1t is certain that the wolf will never look into their door, and 1t can be said that MT BunneA has the respect and esteem of all who hiro

BOYS WERE BOUND OVER
wMl be Some Time Before They
 Reach Lazy Mans Paradise.

The two boys who started out Tuesday for the Lazy Mans Para disc" in South America, were before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with theft of a horse, buggy, harness and blanket, all of the value of S150 Their names are Victor J. Handle and Joseph l.. Brennan. Han dle belongs in Naugatuck and Brennan in Waterbury. He told Judge Burpee that he knew his folks are living but does not know where they are.
 It was Handle who hired the team from Henry B. Loucks of Scoy1ll street, and he told him his name was Jacob Salvatore and that he was merely going to Prospect with Bren- nan to attend a wedding. He paid Loucks $3 for the use of the outfit. This was on Tuesday.
 Handle said when arrested that his name was Moss and that the team was his own and he lived with his father in Wallingford. Brennan said his name was Williams. They were 1eearched at the police station and the clipping from the New York Sun was disclosed. Handle said 1t was that that influenced them to quit home. { It told of a place in Paraguay called the asLazy Mans Paradise" where 1t seems men seldom if ever work. and uolities do not bother them. Handle drew whatever money he had in bank and they expected to raise enough to start them we'll on the road to the South American paradise, from the sale of the horse.
 Handle was the engineer of the en- terprise. apparently. and insisted up to the last that the team was his. His father stated that hitherto he has had no trouble with him. Both boys were bound over to the October term of the superior court under bail of $500 each. Patrick Reardon was fined 50 and 1costs for intoxication.
 The case against Joseph Behl, for intoxication and assaulting James Hennessey with a knife, stabbing him in the left thigh near the hip, was con finued a week. Dr Donahue who is attending Hennessey stated that the wound was very ugly one, about five inches long, gaping and right into the home. The muscles and flores, he said, were separated Five stitches were put in 1t. It would be unsafe to move the man for a week, for while it was not probable that blood poison may set in, still it was possible. The case was accordingly continued under the same bond, $500.

MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.

A midnight marriage ceremony is said to have taken place on Monday in the office of Judge George C. McNan in Greenwich, and it was followed by an automobile trip to New York. The parties to the marriage are believed to be Stanhope c. Renwick, retired merchant of Kingsbridge, and Miss Eleanor Bell, daughter of Edward Bell, formerly of Yonkers. Judge Charles D. Burns read the marriage lines. It was very near twelve o'clock last Mon- day night when a big touring car drew up before MT McNall's office. From 1t leaped a girl, who assisted the chauf- feur in helping out a man apparently twice her age, who limped painfully as he walked with the aid of cane across the sidewalk. A French maid attended the bride. The ceremony was quickly over and while the bridegroom examined the lamps the bride jumped Into the automobile, calling out: "Hur- ~ up, Stanhope; we've a long ride ahead of us'' ''AlI right, Eleanor" was the bridegroom's reply and after he was assisted to his seat the big au- q ~aObtle rolled away at top speed.

VIII Be Pushed.

The work Of getting out the $4,000
Cherokee deeds which the Dawes
commissioner thinks it will require
for the nation. will be pushed much
more rapidly than was the case with
the Creek deeds. The Cherokee deeds
A@hich are in the hands OF the printer
will soon be ready for delivery to the
commission, and a sufficient force
will be put on them to get out about
1000 a>day. Two deeds are required
for every allottee, as separate deed
must be given for the homestead.
In the case Of the Greek deeds but
twelve or fifteen a day were made out
most of the time, requiring many
months, as the deeds we're made from
the record and but one man could
work on them at time.
