CITY NEWS.

Mrs Annie M. Leigh of Philadel- phia is seriously i'll at the home of her brother, T. J. Coyle, on Cassidy avenue.
 Attorney James A. Hurley, whose home is in this city, who has been practicing in the Indian Territory, has opened law office in New York.
 James w. Murdock, until recently special agent of the Southern New England Telephone Co in New Ha- ven, has been appointed wire chief of the Waterbury division.
 Mrs Angela Pasirella died suddenly last evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs Dominic Makepeace, 9S7 Bank street. The family were at the supper table when the woman fell backward and died instantly. Medi- cal Examiner Crane pronounced death due to apoplexy.
 Pasquale Capobianco, who has been suffering at the Waterbury hos pital the past five weeks with a bull let in his right lung received from the revolver of Michael Carpinelli on Sunday, September l, died last night. The man had been lingering for some time, although couple of weeks ago it was thought that he would recover. Capobianco is the second for whose death Carpinelli will have to answer, as Anthony Geneva died almost instantly after he was shot by the man who is now awaiting trial. He will undoubtedly be charged with a double murder. The brawl, which was the night be- fore Labor day, caused much excite ment in the Italian quarter on Canal street The accused man escaped, but was later caught at Stamford.

Uriah Philip Levy held the distinction at the time of his death, which took place in 1862, of being the highest ranking officer in the United States navy. In recognition of his services the city of New York rendered him the freedom of the city. His humane principles in refusing to punish his scamen with the lash were well known and in consequence he earned the distinction of having the following cut upon his tombstone at Cypress hill: "He was the father of tle law for the abolition oe distressing practice of corporal punishment"
 Another great patriot, Judah Tonro by name. served with Jackson in New Orleans and was wounded there. When his services were not needed in the field. he returned to civil life and was one of the first to contri- bute to the building of Bunker Hill monument by giving s10OO0. for which he received vote of thanks.
 I have in mind many other brave soldiers of distinction who belong to that noble anu uiStOTlC Eatt' huA my allotted time will not permit the mention of one more only. whose gaIlantry cannot pass without mem tion. I refer to that great Jewish soldier General David DeI.eOu. who on two successive occasions during the Mexican war took the place of commanders who were killed. and he acted with such bravery and gal Iantrv that he received the thanks of congress- on two occasions.
 I will now close with the plea that the Jewish people will not be lOosed upon as strangers hut instead Ct them he measured by g fair standard in order that we all may appreciate tEeir true value.

At the Hebrew rally on Kingsbury street last evening n. H. Tierney made the principal address. He spoke as follows:
 Jews as American patriots are worthy of consideration by the AmeIi- can people. Their many noble acts as citizens and soldiers during thc darkest days of the nations existence entitle them 10 the proud name of patriot. Among those who have sO nobIy identified themselves with the cause of liberty I will mention the names of Haym Solomon. Isaac Mor- riS. Manuel Noah-all of whom gave the greater part of their fortunes tO the colonial cause. and a company most wholly composed of Jews fought with great bravery under GeEeral Moulton at BeaufOrd.
 General Washington was reioicei to note such a spirit of liberality and philanthropy shown hy the Jews towards the cause of independence. which was SO near and dear to the struggling colOnisfs. Thomas Jef- ferson and James Madison also re- ferred to their doinzs with praise and e0mmendstfon and there are many in- stances which prove their courage and loyalty I will beg your indulzenee to name a few 0f them. Colonel Isaac Franks served O1 Washinzt0n-s stzf. and cos0ael Solomon BHsh. Jacob DeLeoa.

worthy OF notice. Their usual proceed

farming land. manage In some way to
secure his signature. This is general.
ly done by inducing him to write a
letter. or to sign some statement.
Once the signature is secured. a lcti.
tious deed to the farmers land Is pre-
pared and this Is fixed up In such a
manner as to show the seal of some
notary or other officer. Then with
this deed the swindler is in position to
negotiate loan upon the land. This
game has been successfully worked in
number Of western states.
Residents Of agricultural districts
should be continually on their guard

Kind OF contract which may be pre-.

Lincoln Steffens, in an address on
municipal politics, said in Chicago OF
certain city:
"That city is as notorious for its
rottenness as the town Of Pebbles is
notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb'
bles.
"On a train one day man rushed
into car held up his hand for atten-
ton, and shouted excitedly:
"'Anybody here who belongs to
Pebbles?'
".Aye; ! do said a small. dry old
fellow calmly.
"'Then,' said the other, lend us yer
