 Former Benefactor
IN CHINESE RESTAURANT

Walter Ritch was arrested this morning by Officer Peter Hall and held for investigation. He- answered the description given in letter from the police department of Pittsfeld. Mass, where he is wanted for stealing some slaters tools. Ritch's home was form erly in Stamford but about seven years ago he came to this city At that time he was found wandering about the lower part of the city by Officer Hall Ritch said then that he would like to. be sent to Jail as he could find no work. The officer se- cured a job for him then at Turney's wholesale fruit store on Water street. He proved a. steady workman saved his money and about four years ago got married. He learned the skaters trade and was a good workman until recently he began to neglect his wife. Two months ago he was in the city court on the charge of non-support. Shortly after this he left his wife, who Is now in New Haven. and went to Pfttsleld, Mass It was an odd fate that brought the same officer who be- frfended him years ago into the Chinese restaurant on State street this morning to arrest him on the charge of theft.

HEROES OF SEA
 SACRIFICED LIVES
Special from United Press,


 Ketchikan, Alaska, Aug. 28.lThe names of George Ecckles, of Winnipeg, wireless operator on the steamer Ohio which sank off Sleep point, and F. J. Stephens of Seattle, purser on the ves- sel, are today included in the list of heroes of the sea who willingly sac rificed themselves to save the lives of those entrusted to their keeping. Beck les was in the middle of a wireless message when the Ohio went down and Stephens had just assisted the last of the 12S passengers over the side of the boat into one of the life-boats as the water closed over the doomed steam CT and carried him to his death. Three other heroes there are whose names have not yet been learned. They were the 'quartermaster and two seamen who, with Ecckles and Stephens, went down with the ship.
 Passengers all off and adrift in small boats. Captain and crew going off in last boat, waiting for me now. Goodbye, I'm" this was the inter- rupted message received by the wire- less operator of the Ketchikan station from Ecckles. Already there is a movement on foot among the survivors of the wreck to fitting memoralize the hero Ecc1<les and the purser. It is probable that money will be raised and monuments erected to the men snot only in their home towns, but also the point on the coast nearest the place where the Ohio sank.

MORE PROMISES OF
 MAIN STREET PAVED

The permanent paving and sewer commission will probably recommend Monday evening that the work of paw ing Main street between Seaside Park and Atlantic street be performed by Director c. F. A. Biltz for the city of Bridgeport. The railroad company will notify the commission at it's meeting that it has decided to do it's share of the; paving work itself and has ordered it's materials for the work The company being unable to pur- chase the Fairn4ont brick which the city is going to lay has ordered Mack brick. Director Biltz is ready to start upon the work at once. The figures he presented as an estimate of the cost of the work are greatly below the prices of private contractors. Golden Hill street which has been newly paved will be thrown open to traffic on Mon day morning..
 It is believed that. the Connecticut Go. will assure the commission that the grooved rails for Main street be- tween Bank and Congress streets in Main street will be ready for delivery on September l.

STOCKS DECLINE

The stock market at the opening and in the early trading was nervous and unsettled. the trading generally inffu- enced by the many conflicting reports about Harrfman's condition. with the growing belief of some friction be- tween the active interests and the management of the Union Pacific sys- tenn. There was continued liquidation. following in line with the heavy sell- ing that has been in progress for two weeks which caused sharp declines In many stocks while a number of i'm portant issues were firmly held and In persistent demand Union Pacific was the weakest issue, showing a loss of points and was followed by Southern Pacific, and New York Central which declined a point or. more. At the end of the first 15 minutes nearly every thing traded in ranged below yester- days close.
 ii a. m.-Nearly all interested cen tered in Union Pacific which declined over 5 points. selling as low as 194z. All around the room the weakness in Union Pacific had a sympathetic in duence. Reading declined points and losses of from ? to points were made tral. Northern Pacific and number of other issues.
 Closing.-Price movements in the last hour were irregular with the same that has been the feature since MT. Harriman's return. The denial of the stories that MT. Hartman would un- dergo an operation had further re- assuring influence especially in the market for Union Pacific which made an additional gain. moving up in all about points from the lowest range. Reading recovered nearly all it's loss and fractional rallies were noted in many other stocks in which there was active trading. New York Central showed increased weakness and after moderate rallying declined over a point. At the close the market was nervous and unsettled.
 Government bonds unchanged: other bonds were weak.

"Have You Reen Yet D

We mean on one of the matinee ex- cursions on the Steamer Park City, which takes place every week day from Bridgeport. It is just one of the pleasantest trips that we know of. You lost only half a day from business and costs only half dollar. You hear a concert by the Lyric Orchestra on the boat that is worth more than you pay for the trip. The music is an attractive feature this season and adds much to the enjoyment of the sail.( When you get to Port Jefferson there are numerous places of interest to visit Don't put off this tip. Go while the weather is hot and be glad for the half day at least. Only six more matinee excursions will be given as the fati time table goes into effect after Labor Day.
