FRENCH SCULPTOR

Paris, Jan. 1o.-The noted animal
sculptor, Rembrandt Bugatti, was
found lying unconscious in his studio
in the Rue Joseph-Bara, the result Of
gas poisoning. A gas jet in the studio
was turned on signor Bugatti was
taken to a, hospital where he died.
The work Of Signor Bugatti is rep
resented in most of the galleries Of
Europe. OF late he was greatly de-
pressed by the sufferings of the Bel
giansI for whom he had great admir-
alton. He frequently pointed to the
ribbon of the Legion of Honor, in his
buttonhole and said:
ct ought to give it to some mutilated
Belgian soldier
signor Bugatti gave up some time
ago his work in the speciality which
won his fame, saying: lt
This is not the time to make ami
mails
He devoted himself entirely to a
new Interpretation of Christ. This
work, now at the foundry. is his last.

THREE THIEVES TRAPPED.

Immediately after the robbery of
the Cinnamon last evening was report
ed, Superintendent Birmingham COM
municated with the New Haven au-
thorities, giving them a good descrip-
ton of the robbers. This morning
word was received from New Haven
that the three men had been appre-
hended while on their way from the
Aldrich home to the railroad station.
In company with oe<Quong, one of
the men robbed, Detective, Edward
Cronan went to New Haven and as
soon as Quong set eyes on them he
exclaimed: 'NThem's the men!" The
three made a big bluff and denied
they were here yesterday but the evil
denee was too substantial and they
were brought to this city.
That they were acquainted here was
shown when the elder of them saw
Supt. Birmingham. Turning to the
latter he said: Hello, Mr.. Birming-
ham, am glad to see you, heard of
your promotion some time ago" Then
turning to Policeman James Halpin,
he said: ct am - glad of it, for
he's a good fellow and deserved it."
Interesting developments are expected
to arise upon the arrival of New York
officers here.

THE GoLn SNAP

The oldest inhabitant,'' and every

day morning was the coolest that has
been experienced In Bridgeport dur
ing a period of thirty years. Certain
" we never had such a time before
as we did in The Farmer office yes
terday.
Our water pipes and our steam
pipes, every connected with our en-
CINE, was frozen up solid, and could
not be moved or worked till thawed
out, to do which required three hours
of unremitting labor. BY diIlt of
hard work on the part of our "scribes
and pharisees'' we were able to be in
running order by the afternoon
In q. number of shops and factories
we hear that sufficient warmth could
not be obtained during the whole day
to enable the hands to work with conf
fort. This was the case in the rooms
at Lacey, Meeker & Co. The same
was experienced in some of the rooms
at Wheeler & Wilson's factory.
