JUMPED OFF LAUREL HILL BRIDGE
William Moore, Aged SO, Carried Down the Shetucket
and Then Swan Out Into the Harbor Where He
Was Rescued-Frank Petrosh Rowed Out and
Caught Him as He Was About to Sink.

Bridge jumping has appealed to but
few in the past several years, although
some years ago as q sport it got a
hold on few of the local daredevils,
and furnished plenty of excitement.
There was a repetition of it Monday
afternoon about 4.15 o'clock when will
liam Moore of No. 27S West Thames
street, papermaker, with a different
object in view, jumped headfirst off
the bridge into the Shetucket river,
Keeping afloat until nearly to the
freight house and from that point to
the center OF the harhor he swan un-
til rescued by Frank Petrofsky, who
rowed out to him and took him into
the boat Just as he was giving up.
Many saw him in his helpless position,
put could do nothing, and had not Mr..
Petrofsky gone to his aid, which he
did at big risk, he would have gone
to the bottom
Moore had been at the almshouse
where on Saturday he caused quite a
little trouble while under the influence
of liquor, and he was taken to the
police station. He remained there un-
til Monday morning, when he was pre-
scented before Deputy Judge Barnes
in the city court. On his plea that
he could get work in Montville If Civ
en- chance. he was placed,on proba-
ton until the first of February and al
lowed to go.
He did not go to Montville and dur
ing the day had been drinking more.
During the afternoon he was at the Sc
lectmen's office. He was told to come
back later, as those in the office at
the time were busy, and he went
away. He must have gone almost d.
rectly to Laurel Fill bridge for the
purpose of ending his life He was
seen to walk on the bridge from TWEEN
ty to thirty feet and jump headfrst
into the river
Charles e. Brady was just driving
on the bridge from Talman street
when he heard someone boiler and
he saw Moore's feet as he was dis
appearing downward. 1t is believed he
landed on his back and did not go very
deep into the water. The indications
are that he was slightly stunned by
the cold plunge and the force with
which he struck the water. so that
partially submerged. he was carried
by the current until he had nearly
reached the freight house. when he
seemed to recover himsslf and began
to swim. From that point he was
carried by the current and by his
swimming out into the harbor, cover

PORTRAIT OF CALVIN /. HARDWOOD
To Be Hung in Common Council
Chamber With Other ex-Mayors.

The picture of the late c. L. Har-
wood, mayor of Norwich from 1892 to
1895, which is to be a gift to the city
from his family for the council cham
bers gallery of the city's mayors, has
been shown since saturday in the win
dow of George A. Davis store on
Broadway. 1t is the work of a Nor
witch artist who has an enviable repu-
tation for work in this line which this
new portrait further enhances, accord
ing to the opinion of many who have
viewed the picture, which is a copy
from a photograph. Among close BUSH
ness and personal friends who have
criticised the work there has been
general conmendation for the work of
the artist in giving the picture the
personality of the original with great
faithfulness.

Taftviiie,

On Monday afternoon Constable
James DAILY and Constable Gustave
Lambert brought Joseph Gladue of
Taftville to police headquarters, he
being considered insane. The select
men decided to have him taken TO the
almshouse. and Constable DAILY took
him there shortly after. 1t is probable
that he will be committed to the state
hospital.
A short time ago Mr.. Gladue at

earbolic acid, but his daughter saw
him before he had gotten down enough
to cause his death. 1t is understood
that he has not given up the idea OF
ending his life and made another at

is sorry that his daughter saw him
when he had taken the carbolic acid
as he wished he was dead.

NO HOPE FOR DEPOSITORJ

One of the most deporable
events in the history of the State
is the ruling Of the State Supreme
Court declaring vcid the act Of
the legislature removing bank
receivership from control Of a lot
Of men who have sought nothing
better thai to fatten their own
Dank accounts. This means that
the receiv eTs will continue in the
old way and that ere ditors will
have to wait for sorne return.
The latter is nebulous proposition
which may never come to pass in
substantial form. but Tho re is
nothing like hope to spur the
efforts of mankind. Salaries will
eat up the best part O: the collec-
tions, and, if anything remains the
attorneys may be rrckoned to
asborb the balance. From a
practical stan 1polnt 1t appears the
attorney general was lamcntably
ignorant of what was occurring in
the legislature when he failed to
advise the lawmakers On the right
course to proceed in handling such
an important subject.
The decision of the Supreme
Court implies that derositors who
have clunR tenaciouSly to the
claims for the last five years are
to be legally pirated of the small
interest they expected to collect
from the receivers of a couple of
banks which outraged every sense
Of dcency in their management

from this hearing which will bring
about a further reduction in

The fact that this is based on
earning capacity and the amount
of travel gives the Commissioners
facts and figures to hand the rail-
road officials upon such investiga-
tions. The reductions ordered at
other times, which are now in
effect. have come about by such
