INSURANCE AGENT SUED.

Oliver E. Wilson, an insurance agent 'pf Norwalk, has been made defendant In a unique action brought by the Brit |ish-American Insurance company.

 company paid the insurance.

AT HOWE & sTErsoNs
A Great plspIay in AII Lines.

4 Great Display in All Lines
 DO you want to get something right up to date and the finest quality in dress goods?" asked a woman as she stood in front of the Howe & Stetson Co. store. 761, 767. I'll. 773 Chapel street. When her companion replied in the af- firmative, she merely nodded toward the door in the rear. Her friend took the advice offered her and now she is glad of it.
 This is only one instance but there have been scores of similar ones daily and the person who has taken the ad- vice given to her has found in the big store one thing perfect satisfac- tion In addition there are scores of things that the purchaser needed but could not think of that have been re- membered after an inspection of the stock.
 Several months ago the concern got in a special line of goods and had a sale at low cut prices. As many peo- pie have said, it looks as though the sale had been continued, to judge from the line of goods and prices that are found. on them. It is impossible to de- scribe them as they are beyond descrip- tion. All that can be said is that there are opportunities and big ones at that.
 Ever since the exposition week has commenced the aisles of the big store have been crowded with buyers and the streams of people going in and out would seem to show two facts: first that the concern was doing a big bus mess, and secondly. that people had learned what they wanted and where to go for it.

AT CHARLES MoNsoN CO.'S.
Women's and Men Furnishings


 Galore.
 The windows of the Charles Monson company, 762 to 76S Chapel street, the silk house of Connecticut, are now in their annual flush of beauty. The things that one may see in the line of women's furnishings are enough to cause one to think that one is in a fairyland of opportunity. And the prices, too, are enough to make pass erby hesitate, for they are all of them within the average persons reach. For example. there is a line of gloves, handkerchiefs and neckwear that seems to have the words "only the latest styles" printed on them A person in | specting the stock of goods will find anything that is to be desired, and the quality will prove one of the most sat- 1 isfactory parts of the entire thing. AS noone will deny, well dressed woman has a better chance of getting ahead where she desires than one who is not. And every one should wish to advance. When the Charles Monson company offers the opportunity that it no reason why every one should not become one of the elite.
 These things may read as if they were not facts, so the thing to do is to drop around to the store and take a look in on the situation. Women will see gowns that will be extremely pleas ing to them, both from artistic and cost points of view. It is certainly one lfof the finest establishments in Connec- lsticut in the silk line. And the prices lsare reasonable. The goods are reliable.

 building firm of Hincks & Johnson, of
 Bridgeport, thrice escaped death early Thursday morning, when he figured In Ia sensational accident that reads like fiction. First he fell from moving
 train to the railroad trestle From the trestle he fell through it forty feet to the icy water of the flarbor below, and in falling broke his right arm. With one arm he swan to the fender bling of the new rolling lift bridge, and after being in the water nearly an hour he was discovered by the barest chance. In order to rescue him the rolling lift
 bridge had to be raised and ladders used. He was conscious through it all
 and, refusing to ride in the ambulance, called cab and rode to his home. 375 Stratford avenue, and then telephoned for a physician. Then he went to bed
 His condition is precarious.
 MT. Johnson began calling for help after he got to the fender piling, but no lone heard his early cries. Train after train passed over the elevation, but he |could make none of the crews hear him until about half-past one o'clock, when.
 by a streak of good fortune. a freight train came to halt on the bridge. MT, Johnson made full use of his opportuni- ty and shouted at the top of his voice flor help. A brakeman heard him and communicated with his fellow workers. but they did not know where the voice
 came from and considerable time was lost. MT. Johnson, by shouting, ex- plained his predicament.
