Tried Blackmai1 To
 Get Furnishings For Bride e-To-Be's Home

LitchfieId, June 3-The e1opement of Stanley Trojan, about 23 years old, and Theresa. .Janowich, Is years old, both of LtchheId, who left early Tuesday morning for New York, came to a sudden end in that city yester- day when Trojan was arrested by the Federal authorities for sending threatening letters through the mail.

The let ter was mailed by him from Litch- field to the woman superintendent of New York hospital and demanded $500 with which to furnish a, home.'' '' The letter said that if the demand was not compiled with it's sender would have to die and that it's reel pient would die with him. The su- perintendent complained to the au- thorities of Litchfield and later turn ed over the evidence in the case to the Federal authorities: Trojan's ar rest followed. Theresa, who is a, very pretty girl, was overcome by grief when her lover was taken away by the officers.

''MAY COLD? OH, NOT so VERY OBSERVES
 WILLIAM JENNINGS

 for 43s Years.

Though Bridgeport has shivered for nearly 8 week and the older residents have asserted that, May was one of the co1dest months ever seen in this section. statistics furnished by U. s. Cooperative Weather Observ- CT William Jennings, disprove this, for it is shown that with the excep- ton of the years 1911 and 1896 the mean temperature of the month was ST., normal for a period of 3 years.
 A record for intense heat was es- ta3blished in 1896, when the. thermom- eter ran as high as 95 and a minimum temp perature ofss29 g was recorded in s1911. The maximum height of the mercury during May of this year was but TT, on May 31, with a. minimum of 39 degrees on May 27 The great est variation of the mercurial column was evidenced on May 31 when the range was 37 degrees. The least daily range of but 3 degrees was shown on May. IT.
 During the month there was de- hciency in rainfall, there being but BOA inches during tn centre month. which is .6s inche below the mean for 22 years. The greatest rainfall during any period of 24 hours was noted May 22, when 1.35 inches fell There were 13 clear days during the month, partly cloudy and en- tirely overcast. The prevailing winds during the month were southwestern Iy. No killing frost was observed but a light one was recorded on May 20.

GREAT BILn AT THE FAUST.

Proprietor John D. smarto has ex- tended himself to provide the patrons of the Faust Cabaret with an unex- cel1ed program for this week.
 Each week MT. Smarto is demon strating more and more the fact that There is only one Faust''-not alone in the quality of his entertainers, but in general excellence of program, of service, of cuisine. of decorum, etc. i; in short. the Faust has positively ad- vanced to the first position among the Cabaret Houses of Bridgeport, and has made this advance on merit alone.
 This is souvenir week. and Prop. John D., is passing out his comp1f- ments in very substantial way to all his patrons during the week.
 The entertainers this week are good, very good in fact. You know that without further advice, as the Faust talent is always way above par. No need to mention the names Come up and hear them sfng-that's what counts. There is nothing in a name unless you earn it.-Adv.

Turin, June 3.Genera1 Cadorna. has ascert tained from the State Rail- way authorities at Ancona that the bombardme of the Marecchia rail way bridge, near Rini, May 2S, was due not, as at first supposed to Aus rian .warships, but to an enemy dir ig1ble flying an Italian flag and with the name City of Ferara painted in huge letters on the sides
 This fact, coupled with abuse of the Italian flag by Austrian cruisers and torpedo craft during recent raids, on the western shore of the Adriatic, as well as deliberate bombardment of de- fenceless towns and villages along the Italian Littoral and of forts long since disulantied, like Ancona, convinces Italians that the Dual Monarchy is i'm tent on conducting war with utter dis regard for international law
