Jas. I. Dunn Suicides
(cont1ued from Page 1.)

It was after his first meeting with Mrs. Holme that Dunn went to san Francisco where he formed the ac- quaintance of 'Duxie' Rosenbaum a widow whom he married later. Then followed his troubles when he att Mrs Holme who came into his life again for the second time with a fortune of $2,000.000.
 Dunn from his first meeting with the ladies of wealth and fashion never knew what it was to be without a bank roll He was finished gambler and many a faro layout went broke immense stakes and won. The best the land afforded was none too good for him. He lived in regal style and comported himself like a Prince. He was refined in manner and bearing and he had the entree for spells in to the "400'' of the localities where he set up temporary residence.
 Last week several Bridgeporters who knew him in the old days, met him at one of the hotels in Atlantic City. He was in the company of a handsome young woman and appeared to be un- usually reticent. He was as fault lessly attired, as ever and appeared to be wanting for nothing that money could supply. But there was a cer- tain uneasiness about his manner that betokenedAtroubleo of some nature. The old flash and dash was absent. In the very places where he was wont 70 be regarded as the central figure he seemed ill at ease. There was no doubt in the minds of those who chat ted with him that some great burden was preying on him.
 The news of his suicide was not much of a surprise to those who met him last week. It has not been deter mined yet what disposition will be made of his remains. Besides his aged mother who is nearing the cen tury mark, he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Winnie Phelan of Central avenue; Mol ly, widow of the late Dr. Gilroy, who is herself a patient at St Vincent's hospital, and John T. Dunn, formerly a well known cigar drummer of this city, now located ia Los Angeles.

STATE STREET BLOCKS RIGHT
 SAYS ROGERS

''It is my belief that there will be no delay, nor will there be any trou- ble experienced with the wood block for State street," said Col. M H. Rog- CTS, chairman of the Paving and Sewer Commission, this afternoon, when questioned concerning the fact that some of the block for State street was not up to specifications.
 The contractors for State street, Van Kuren & Son, have erred some what in laying their foundation. The by the city engineer. An inspection has been made with the result that the city engineers figures have been found to be correct. 'The top will have to be scraped," said Col. Rogers, "and will be done at the expense of the contractor. That we are getting a good foundation is quite evidence, the concrete is exceedingly hard, the men finding difficulty in picking it, even though laid only a few days."i
 Speaking again on the wood block, Col. Rogers said:- we have an inspec- tor, Howard by name, at the plant of the Barber co. He is fighting the so- called wood block trust and is at the works, himself, inspecting the blocks sent to this city. He is a fair, honest and conscientious worker, eminently qualified to inspect such work
 This afternoon the members of the commission, Mayor B. T. Bucking- ham and City Engineer McKenna started on a trip to New Haven and Waterbury to inspect granitoid and bithulithic pavement The trip was made in autos of the commissioners, the city not being charged for their use. The commission often takes such jaunts of inspection, all free to the city. Mayor Buckingham has suggested the use of granitoid pave ment for some short stretches of street which need permanent pa' e- ment.

Life Was Just One Rain Drop
 After Another
Special 10 The Farmer.)

Milford, July 21-Many Bridgeport parties, camping at the beaches. Myr- tie and Walnut, this morning, dur ing the big electrical storm, found conditions just as dry in the open as under canvas. No tent could with stand the the constant broadside of rain, a heavy spray finding it's way inside making conditions mighty un- comfortable. Some of the campers who were not prepared for such emer- gencies, found themselves flooded out. They were given shelter by nearby cottagers. Others put up with their misery as best they could.
 There was no damage to the cot tages along the beaches. In some of the strets leading to the boulevards there were few washouts. The fact that the tide was out during the pro- gress of the storm averted consider able damage A high tide with such a storm and many of the board walks would have been washed away.
