BOUGHT UP TICKETS
But Spectator Was Unable to Re.
 alixe on Them Yesterday.

At the Naugatuck station yesterday morning a fellow who had cornered several tickets for the excursion to New York was trying to dispose of his pasteboards, but with very little sue cess as everyone present had his or her ticket already purchased. After the train had pulled out and the fellow was standing on the platform think ing how much he was stuck by failing to dispose of the tickets he had so eagerly purchased, one of the conduc tors of the road came up and gave the would-be speculator a beautiful call for having the tickets in his posses sion. He said he was delighted to see him out a few dollars for his actions and told him 1t would teach him a lesson in the future. The man with the tickets thought there would he several persons at the station without tickets and thought he would make good daSfs pay by getting dollar or two more than he bought them for.

COURT PHELAN vS KELLY
Hrs. Keliy's Counsel Allowed ts
 Amend Complaint in Case.

There will be another trial of the great case of Johanna Kelly, admins. tratrix, against Court Phelan, F. of A. Judge Peasley has decided to allow Mrs Kelly's counsel, Attorney Carmody, to amend the complaint in the case. which means that it will take another trip through the courts. Judge Cowell some time ago gave judgment for the plaintiff to recover damages of $1OO with costs, but the supreme court de- cided otherwise, found error and grant ed new trial. The point involved in this case is whether or not Mrs Kelly's son James and Court Phelan indulged in gambling when they issued books of tickets for prizes at fair. Kelly re- fused to pay for the book, which cost $1, and this was charged against him as dues. He was thus rendered un- financial in the court and when he died, which was soon after, his rela- tives were refused the customary fu- enral benefits.

THE apIRATEsv OF THE SOUND.
otto steiflel, one of Robber Crew,
 Held at Newport.

NEWPORT, R. l., Oct. 25-Although the net spread by the police of this city failed to entrap in its meshes Henry A. Jackson, who is alleged to be the cap tain of the pirate sloop Dorado, there were several developments which may aid materially to clear up the mys- tery surrounding the Dorado's move ments along the shores of Narragansett bay and Long Island sound.
 The most important feature was the arrest in Providence of Otto Stelffel, who admitted to the police that he was associated with Jackson and his com panlons. Another feature Of interest was the appearance of black sloop in the harbor. The craft put out to sea be- fore the authorities sighted her, but 1t Is believed that on board the sloop were persons who have sailed on the Dorado recently.
 The purpose in bringing Stelffel here was to have him identify the plundeF found aboard the Dorado and the yacht Bessie and tell the authorities where it was stolen. The Bessie was also used by the thieves. Steiffel said last night that the thefts occurred all along Long Island sound and the shores of Nara gansett bay.

STAMFORD. Conn, Oct. 25.-The DO lice of this city believe that the arrest in Newport of Otto stelffel. who Is d. legged to have been associated with the crew of the mysterious sloop Dorado may clear up the mystery of the stolen safe from the summer home of Paul Bonner of New York at Greehwich on Aug. %. On that night a 500 pound safe was taken from a room on the sec ond floor of the Bonner house and with it about S1S.0O0 in cash and jewelry.
