TOOK COLD PLUNGE.
Frank buckingham. We'll Known
 Life Saver Dives From Bridge.

Hartford, Dec. 3.-A voluntary dive into the chill waters of the Con- necticut river at o'clock on De- cember morning such as Sunday, 1T weather which is best described as raw and cold, and at an hour when the majority of the residents of the city were snug and comfy between nice warm blankets, is the distinction which belongs to Frank buckingham, the we'll known diver and life saver. The dive was made from the new bridge, from a height which would startle an amateur, and the perform anee is undoubtedly a first in con- nection with the new bridge which will be without "second" for some time. The distance buckingham div ed, according to the measurements at the office of the Connecticut river bridge and highway district commits sion, was fifty-five feet.
 The dive made by buckingham was from the second span of the new bridge, near the East Hartford side. He made the dive in the presence of two witnesses, William Suda, who formerly ran the Riverside Machine shop, and Michael Leary, of Albany avenue. Both vouch for the per- formance. A minute or two before 6 a. m. Sunday, buckingham climbed to the stone railing and took of his coat and vest and shoes. He left nothing on but his trousers and shirt. He poised a moment. extended his arms above his head, in imitation of the painting, "The Diver" and shot downward fifty feet or more into the river. The imagination will supply the chill which the diver experienced as he arose above the surface and put for the shore. To reach Kel- logg's dock buckingham had to swim distance equal to nearly half the distance across the river. He reach cd the dock none the worse for hIs experience. and as he was walking around to-day there are no indications of pneumonia.
 buckingham says that the water was not exactly warm. but that he didn't mind 1t. as he is used to bath ing in the river in cold weather.
 buckingham lived on Temple street in this city nearly all his life. His record of dead bodies taken by him from the river shows I56 names and his record of rescues of drowning persons 47. Recently he moved to East Hartford and is now living at No 90 Gilbert street

THE POLICE COURT.
Two Liquor Cases Settled for $50
 Each This Morning.

In the city court to-day before Judge Peasley, the case against Os- borne N. Hutchings for embezzlement was called. There were six counts against Hutchings, aggregating an alleged embezzlement of $50. Prose- cutting Attorney Meigs stated that C. B. Sanderson, the complaining wit ness in the matter, had stated to him that he did not wish to press tha case. So there was no evidence given and fine of s7 on each count with the costs on one was imposed Hutchlngs was put on probation.
 The cases against Frank and Kavis alias Joseph. Matasavitch were set tied for $50 each. These are the men whose residence on Summit street was raided last Sunday and a large quantity of liquors found.
 A case against Peter Kruchas for non-support went over for thirt!' days.
 The continued case against Horace Wooster for non-support of his wife was called and, as was expected Wooster was not in court. MT Meigs stated that he had heard Wooster had left the state and another com- plaint would have to be issued. It is said he has gone west. Wooster was arrested last week as he was about to leave for New York with his brother. That day he had been given employment by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company in Bristol. He came back to town in the evening and was about to depart for New York when bis wife. whose age is about 20, heard of 1t and promptly had him arrested. In court he re. garded the matter as the greatest joke. His age is %.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Charles Knox, bookkeeper for the Hellmann Brewing Co has re signed his position.
 Last evening small party com posed of Brooklynites and one out of town girl, Miss May Freeman, of Bridgeport, who was the guest of tho occasion, dined at Walter. Scott's in Cheshire. In the party was Miss Freeman, Miss Norah Mahaney, Miss Anna Lawlor, Edward Dunphy, Arthur Blewitt and Michael Crowley. Miss Freeman who has been visiting Miss Mahaney returned to Bridge port to-day.
 Yesterday morning the Brook lyn firemen answered a still alarm sent in from the coal yard Of the Frank Miller Coal company. In some manner coal elevator became lg- nited and 1t threatened to do consid- erable damage. Although the Brook- lyn firemen were first called later the Scovill street company and Chemical No 1 were summoned by telephone. The firemen made quick work of the blaze.
 Patrick Rogers, conductor on the car which had a narrow escape at the Bank street crossing Sunday afternoon about o'clock, has been laid off temporarily at least. because of the incident. It appears thai Rogers, who is said to be very care full conductor, forgot to take the names of any of the witnesses. Rog- CTS claims that he did all he could have done under the circumstances, and as he got the car by safely, did not see, so it is thought, why there was need of witnesses. His friends say he will have no difficulty ob- taining witnesses who will testify that he would have been in no way at fault for anything that might have happened at the crossing on Sunday
 It is understood that petition will be presented to the prosecuting attorney during the week asking that the meat markets in this section be closed on Sunday. Although the ma iority of markets are closed on the Sabbath, there are few who keep open and do, so it is said, a tremend- ous business. Consequently the pro- prietors of those stores that do no business on Sunday, preferring to lock their stores from Saturday to Monday, are finding fault and want the law enforced. The petition has already been started and will be placed in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Meigs. It is only recently that the shoe and clothing stores in this section which had been open on Sundays for years, were ordered to close up, and it looks as though the meat men would have to follow suit.
 Last evening a birthday party was given in honor of Mrs Jacob Wiehn at her home 1219 Bank street and she was the recipient of many handsome presents. During the ev- ening many excellent musical and vocal selections were rendered and a most appetizing supper was served. Among those present were: Mrs l. Doderer, Miss Anna Gladis, Mrs K Hermann, Fred and Walter Prot. zouski, MT and Mrs FrotZouski, Mrs Kopp, Mir and Mrs Ronalter, Mrs J Schell, MT and Mrs Stigberg, the Misses Selma and Esther Stigberg, Francis Kopp, MT and Mrs Lewis Pellnitz, MT and Mrs c. Witzman. MT and Mrs P. McNamara, of this city; MT and Mrs F. Armbruster, MT and Mrs Hoff and daughter, and MT and Mrs Siebert of Terryville; Edward Stigberg of Orange, Mrs Caroline Frotzouski of New Haven, Mrs L.. Kopp of New York and MT and Mrs J. Wiehn of Boston.

MCKINNEY LAD KILLED ~ LYNX.
1ixteen Year Old Son Of Peter john
son Meets Horrid Death While Try.
ing to Shoot Ferocious Lynx. Boys
Head Nearly Torn off.

Kenmare, N. D., The horrible and
terrifying information was received in
this city last night from Mckinney,
twenty miles east Of here, Of the fate
of Walter, the sixteen-year-old son Ct
Peter Johnson. The lad had discovered
the existence of lynx and desirous
of securing the animal, procured a
90 rifle and started in pursuit.
Upon sight of the lynx the lad made
every effort to get within close range
before shooting and evidently the ami
NAL was alarmed, letting him reach
a. short distance. Unfortunately the
beast sprang upon him with all fero-
city. His terrible cries attracted the
neighbors at distance, but when
they arrived the lynx had accomplish.
ed its purpose and was rapidly de.
vouring the body.
The coming of numerous people did
not affect the beast in devouring its
prey, it being necessary to procure
fire arms with which to shoot the
lynx.
The unfortunate lads face and head
were almost completely destroyed.
The parents are prostrated with grief.
The funeral will be held Saturday
from the residence.
