GONE WITH THE GIRL.
We'll Known Dentist Whose Name is
 Familiar Here.

New Haven, July 22.-It developed yesterday that Dr Vigil H. MunsOn, the dentist, at congress avenue and Tenn pie street, who suddenly left town on Thursday morning took with him Miss Anna Thorndyke, nineteen years old, the pretty daughter of MT and Mrs Herbert A. Thorndyke, carriage paint CT, residing aG 61 Daggett street. Where the couple went to is a mystery and the mother of the girl, who has not seen her daughter since last week Wed nesday, is grief stricken. The dentist until six months ago lived at 459 Con gross avenue. He is fOrty-tve years old and according to the parents of the girl. with whom he eloped, is married, his wife not living with him, being now in Vermont. Dr Munson formerly liy- ed in Waterbury.
 Mrs Thorndyke said yesterday: My daughter, who has always been a good girl, and never having any men com pany at the house, met the doctor with me. We were admiring his dog and became acquainted in that way. We quickly said good night to him, but he followed us and I was very indignant. This was a short time before the Fourth of July, last. My daughter evil dently kept up the acquaintance, and Fourth of July went out sailing with the dentist. He said he was only gO- ing out short time but he kept my daughter on the water over two daya. was much frightened, fearing she haa been drowned.
 -I, ha -1n C<tl the doctor and seemed 10 regret what had happened
 However. instead of letting him alone she kept on visiting his office. ] told her she must not go with the doc tor for be was a married man. l of- fered to take Anna to Waterbury to convince her about the doctor. but she would not go.
 Finally I told her she must leave her home or the dentist. That was a week ago Tuesday night. The next day she packed up and left the house. She lived with the doctor until she dis with him Thursday.
 We all tried 10 make my daughter do right. but she seemed infatuated with that man who is old enough to be her father. l am really prostrated over the affair It was terrible >)r him to take her out on the water. If I could get a hold of him I think l could kill him if I had to hang for it.
 Local merchants took the furniture in the doctors office for debt after he had disappeared. and suits are pending against him.
 Dr Munson rented two rooms at 4J9 Congress avenue from Mrs George E. Moore

SUMMER COMPLAINTS.
Prosecutor is Flooded With Many of
 Trivial Nature.

From the number of complaints that have been made by women to the pros ecutor during the past few days one would think that one-half Of Water bury is at war with the other half. This is the season when neighbors be- come involved in disputes and quar- reis more than any other season in the year. All through the fall, winter and spring. neighbors have got along well together. but summer is the winter of their dlscontent. The reason for this Is obvious to the prosecutor.
 All summer the schools are out and boys and girls get up mornings the best of friends but before many hours they are involved in scraps. They throw stones at each other. and oc- casionally some one gets hurt. Jimmy Brown chases himself into his mothers arms bawling like a cry baby. Naturally the mother inquires what Is the cause of her darling's tears and inc moment she is informed by her Iamh Of A bov. who may be holy ter ror in disguise. of she goes and huckIes into Mrs Blacks freckled face inn. Nrs Black takes up arms for her angel. and when her husband comes home from work she informs him how their angel was abused by Mrs Brown. Nr Black won't stand this. He calls mon the Browns. and Mir Brown re- snapiS. This brings Mir Brown into inc TOW and those people who hitherto lived in. peace and cOntentment have a ueichborhood war on their hands and boih sides eventually call upon the prosecutor.
 Nr Neies said today that about affv complaints 0f the above nature were made to him during the week. and all were turned down because 1T any attention was paid to them the court would have no tine for any o.sha- business. Complaints Of this Kind are discouraged in the prose euto--s office. for the Jess attention that fs paid 10 them the better for all concerned

l. IST OF THE NAVAL
 DEAD IS INCREASING.
More Than Fifty Have Already Been Reported and Many Fen Are Still nissing-The Authorities Are Making an Investigation-Only Two Officers Among the Victims.

San Francisco. July 22.-Rear Ad- miral McCalla, commandant at the navy yard at Mare island, upon hear ing of the blowing UT e. the Benninc- 1cn's boilers, dispathcet. Captain r. J. Dlake, Surgeon Smith and three men O. the hospital corps to the scene ot tlie disaster and dispatched the tug Fortune from Port Hartford to San Diego to assist in the recovery of the bodies. So far he has received no eA- plantation of the cause of the accident but Captain Drake has instructions to investigate the affair and report upon what he can ascertain regarding the cause. If Surgeon Smith considers II advisable the wounded men will be brought here by special train and the naval hospital is being made ready to receive them.
 According to the latest adyices from San Diego, the official list of casual ties shows forty-one dead, nine of the victims being as yet unidentified. The list of wounded numbers fifty-fiye. six teen of whom, including one unknown man. are in serious condition.
 The only officers included in the list of victims of the disaster are Ensign \. K. Perry. who died from the effects of his wounds. and Ensign Leo Sahm, whose right. hand was scalded. The latter's injuries were dressed by the ships surgeons and he did not go to the hospital.
 The city of San Diego loaded fire engine upon lighter and ran along side the Bennington. where she now lies beached and it is now being used to pump out the vessels engine room As the vessel now lies beached she has a heavy cant 10 starboard and at least fifteen feet of water in her hold. The number of men reported miss ing at last report is estimated at from twenty-one to twenty-five, and 1t is feared that when the worst is known the list of dead will be largely in- creased.
 4 roll call ordered by Commander Young on board the Bennington some hours after the explosion. showed six ty-one men present, leaving 136 unac- counted for These included the dead, injured and missing. Commander Young believes some of the missing men were drowned and that their bodies will be found in the bay.

London. July 22.-The dispatches Of the Associated Press indicating that the British government decided at yes terday's cabinet meeting not to resign, are definitely confirmed. The advisa- bility of an autumn dissolution is still under consideration by the cabinet, but it seems that the majority of the ministers are opposed to it, especially now that the chief government whip has received assurances that there will be no further slackness in attendance by the absentees who were responsible for Thursdays defeat of the govern- ment.

THE TRESTLE SQUABBLE.
Conference Last Night Hay Lead to
 Settlement.

Mayor Elton, City Engineer Cairns and representatives of the trolley con- pany held conference last night over tue Oakyille matter, and while nothing definite was agreed upon it is thought that an adjustment of the difference may be reached without another de- lay Of two or three years. The condi- tions offered the company when the question first came up, which was substantially that they pay fifty-fiye per cent Of the cost of making such changes as are necessary to put that section Of the roadway in condition for trolley service, were considered fair at that time and there appears to be no disposition on the part of the present administration 10 take anything less. The city has done nothing to deter the company from building that road. On the contrary it did all in its power to e1pediate matters, even going so far as to make provision to have them 20 under the archway in it's present shape. provided they would sign an agree meht to pay certain portion of tic cost after the question of benefits and damages had been finairy determined. Colonel Burpee, then acting for the company, practically agreed to this, but for some reason which never was explained, the company backed out and without word of warning appealed to the railroad commissioners. The bis tory of the case since that time is now public property. The impuation that the delay was occasioned by the city is not sustained by the decision of the courts and the public is not likely to be misled by any construction which the company's agents may torture from the language Of the learned jurists. Every body wants to see the road but nobody, except the salaried employees of the company. thinks the taxpayers of Wa terbury should pay all the cost. There Is every reason to believe that now as at any time since the matter first came up, the company can proceed with that work on reasonable conditions, and if they object to an understanding to this effect, the duty of the city officials is as plain now as it was in the past.

Publicity brings business. Even
the bankers, the most conservative
business men in the country, are
beginning to realize this fact:
Manufacturers who do not buy
publicity as literally as they buy
other selling facilities will have to
take their places in the rear OF the
procession. Advertising, whether
direct or indirect. must be done
generously if it is to bring results
The chief thing is to let the public
know who you are, and what yon
are doing, and you cannot do this
on a large scale if you stop to take
census every time You fire a
volley.
