CELEBRATION BEGINS.
Bonfires Started in Various Parts of the
City.

Bonfires Started in Various Parts of the
City.
The Fourth of July celebration was
opened in different parts of the city and
shore resorts at midnight by large bon
fires.
All during yesterday boys and men
might have been seen drawing wagons
and carts about the city, gathering bar
rels, boxes, gates, boards and every
thing which was inflammable The re-
suits of their trouble were brought to
the different sections of the city where
the law had allowed fires, When mid
night came the various piles seemingly
consisted Of enough wood to last a
month, but the last sparks Of the fire
died out about 2 or o'clock this morn
ing. The largest fires were on Broad
way and at the corner Of Oak and
Broad streets.
The rain spoiled the fun and fires to
a great extent. Crowds of people encir-
cled the fires. The blowing Of horns
helped TO make the beginning a sue
cess.
In the harbor launches and sailboats
gathered to observe the fires from the
water, and it was indeed grand sight.
In all directions flames could be seen
lighting up the various places which
were celebrating.
Besides the bonfire a concert was held
on the green on Broadway, various men
speaking.

In About a Year the Club House Will be
CIosed-sOme of the Many Notable
Men In the List of the Original Mem
bers of the Noted SeashOre Club
House, an Auxiliary of the Quinni-
piack Club of This City.
The Ansantawae clubhouse, the we'll
known and beautifully situated sum-
naer resort or auxiliary of the Quinni-
pack club of this city, has been leased
for the last five years to the Quinnipi-
ack club by the Ansantawae company.
The lease expires next May, 1907. The
terms for releasing the property have
not been agreed upon, and the stock
holders of the Ansantawae company
much of the stock being held by the
families of deceased members-are de-
sirous of disposing of the company,
winding up the affairs of the company
and distributing the proceeds among
the stockholders.
The property has a frontage of 200
feet on both sides of the road facing
the water and is 225 feet deep, with a
fine large house, which was built by
the late Caleb H. Maltby, the rich oys-
ter grower and iron mine owner, and
originally cost him from $4,000 to $780,
900. For some years it was his summer
home.

Roy DROWNED.

John Rottman, eight years Of age,
living with his mother a widow, at 243
Hamilton street, was drowned at the
city dock, foot of Hamilton street, on
Monday afternoon. The lad, with
Thomas Pagan, ten years of age, and
John Connors, eight. both Of Bradley
street, went down to the dock at one
o'clock. They jumped aboard of a
barge and after playing around for a
time tried to get ashore, the boat hav-
ing swung several feet from the dock.
Pagan and Connors succeeded in max
ling the jump safely, but Rottman
failed and fell between the boat and
the dock and was drowned.
The boys were frightened and ron for
their homes. George B. Keller, steward
at the Yacht club, was told by the boys
that their companions had been
drowned. AS he could not leave at the
time, he told the boys to report to the
police the drowning, but seeing no con-
| frmation of the drowning, he made no
report, believing that they had lied
But the lads said nothing more about
liz.
Mrs. Rottman. was looking for her
son all night and inquired at the Grand
avenue precinct. Captain Brewer found
out the names of the lads who were
with Rottman yesterday morning and
sent Sergeant Rum to talk with them
At first they denied all knowledge of
their little friend, but finally admitted
that he had been drowned, but they
feared to say anything about it before,
supposing they would be blamed.
When Mrs. Rottman ascertained the
truth she was greatly shocked and her
grief was pittable to behold. AS the
tide was rising yesterday morning it
was decided not to attempt to recover
the body until late in the afternoon.
The body Of the boy who was
drowned off the public dock was
washed ashore by the incoming tide
yesterday afternoon, and recovered by
the police of the Grand avenue station.

sery Company's Plant Damage at
Milford and Queer Franks Played by
the Fluid at other Places.
The severe thunder storms coming
one after another at short intervals
since Saturday have caused the various
wire companies about Connecticut a
great deal of trouble. The Telephone
company particularly has suffered in
it's service, and all over the state men
have been working day and night to re-
store lines and instruments to their
right conditions.
The havoc wrought by the storm of
Saturday was no sooner repaired than
conditions were made as bad again by
the storm of Sunday. This was fol-
lowed by the severe electrical storm of
Monday night, and to-day the Tele-
phone company has its work to do over
again.
At the offices of the Southern New
England Telephone company it was
stated that at no previous period Of its
history had such q succession of heavy
electrical disturbances been expert
enced, and that it had been necessary
to draw on all the construction gangs
to aid the local trouble hunters in re-
storing service. Many local linees and
instruments have been affected and the
toll wires have suffered heavily. The
company is pushing the work, however
and i'll the series Of storms is rolSen ii
is expected that a normal condition will
soon be reached

By Local Superintendent.
1t has been stated that the in

States suffers fifty per cent more
casualties every year than all the
killed and wounded in both the
Russian and Japanese armies,
and yet our government takes no
action concerning it.
The census of 1900 states the
fact that there are over 5000. 600
women in the United States en-
gagged in industrial work. Sloan
Mission in st. Louis is doing
something for factory girls in the
way of a penny cup of coffee at
noon. They take their lunches
over to the Mission, and this cup
of hot coffee is furnished them
for the small sum of a penny.
