Branfrod, Feb. 13. -Pietro Cognio, aged 45, was stabbed by Guiseppi Gandino, aged 52, in a drunken fight at Stony Creek last night and died almost instantly. The two men met in front of F. L.

Jackson's store about 6 o'clock and got into an altercation over money matters. The men had scarcely met in front of the store and had exchanged but a few worde when Gandino whipped out a stiletto and struck at Cognio. The latter ran screaming in the direction of he became 80 weak that he stepped his home, but had not gone far, when into a barn by the roadside and soon afterwards expired. The knife had pierced his heart. Officer Londrigan arrested murderer at his home.

Two Men Under Suspicion of Having Killed Eugene Kennedy. Stamford, Feb. Kennedy, aged 22, got into a quarrel with an Italian last night in a saloon on Canal street kept by John and Charles Kavort. In the fight he was fatally stabbed in the groin. Dr.

A. M. Hurlburt was called and he summoned Prosecuting Attorney Carter, who took the man's ante mortem statement. Kennedy died at 2 o'clock. A man named Antonio Gionguillo was under arrest.

Kennedy's statement to the prosecuting attorney was that he was in the saloon talking with two men. The two men began quarreling, and he tried to separate them, when he was attacked by Gionguillo- he identified--and was stabbed. He then started to go out, telling the barkeeper that he was stabbed and to keep an eye on the Italian. Michael Pedro, who was in the saloon at the time, said he saw Kennedy strike then Italian with beer glass, but did see any stabbing. He saw Kennedy leave the saloon and Gionguillo go up stairs.

It is claimed by other witnesses that a man named English, a dissolute character, started the fight in which Kennedy participated. and he was locked up, but nothing could be learned from him, as he was in a semi-intoxicated condition. Gionguillo admits quarreling with Kennedy, but denies the stabbing. On his person was found a clasp knife with a six-inch blade, which was ground to razor sharpness. There were no blood stains on it, however, but the police say the man's clothes might have rubbed them off.

YALE CREWS ON THE WATER. How the 'Varsity Men Were Seated- Cook and Adee There. New Haven, Feb. The Yale crews made their first appearance this season on the harbor yesterday, Bob Cook and George Adee coaching. The two first eights of the university crew and two of the five freshmen eights were taken out in the boats in turn.

The order in the first boat of the varsity crew was: Stroke, Flint: 7, Greenleaf; 6, Allen: 5, McGee: 4, Niedehen: 3, Brock, 2, Greenway; bow Captain Whitney. Williams, who has been indisposed for a few days, will probably be put in at stroke again to-morrow. The baseball men are working daily in the cage, the several batteries having individual hours of practice. The track team candidates are also training in the gymnasium at varying hours daily. Keene Fitzpatrick, the trainer, is paying special attention now to developing freshmen material.

BOMB IN THOMASTON. It Probably Was Dropped by a Tramp Lodger. Thomaston, Feb. was much surprise yesterday over the finding of a bomb in the lockup alleyway under the opera house. It was a piece of metal four inches long with a cap at one end and containing a whitish metal.

The only theory possible is that it was left there by a tramp or fell from his pocket Friday. In Thomaston tramps who are given a night's lodging are made to saw wood. Friday lone tramp went through this process, and while he was at work his overcoat was left on a chair in the alleyway near the spot where the mysterious thing was found. It is probable that it dropped from the tramp's pocket. Sophs Didn't Get Freshmen's Cannon.

(Special to the Courant.) Middletown, Feb. 13. For the last three weeks each evening a party of young men has patrolled the corners of the streets and it was wondered what they were up to. It was finally found out that they were sophomores doing scout duty to see where the freshmen scecured the gun which they had been in the habit of firing on February 22. The freshmen managed to elude them, however, and taking the gun from where it had been, took it to pieces and brought it out of the city.

It is thought now that it is in New Britain. On February 22 they will bring it back and exactly at midnight they will fire a salute on the campus. A Probably Fatal Fall. (Special to the Courant.) Middletown, Feb. 13.

A colored boy named Sumner while playing on the front veranda of what is known as the "Light House" at Center street about 4 o'clock this afternoon, fell from the third story and landed on the sidewalk, on his side. He was taken to the house and there it was found that no bones were broken, but he was suffering from internal injuries. Last night he was in a dangerous condition. The fall was broken partly by his landing on a bank of snow. Several children were playing on the veranda and in dodging them he fell from the veranda.

In going down he turned over twice. Farmers' Institute at Poqnonock. By invitation of Poquonock Grange, the state board of agriculture and the expertment stations will hold an institute in Elm Grove Hall, Poquonock, Wednesday, February 23, at a. m. The program is: Music; welcome by E.

Got Little for Their Pains Because of the Postmaster's Carefulness-Had Designs on Berlin Office, but Were Frightened Away Thought to Have Driven Toward Meriden. (Special to the Courant.) New Britain, Feb.

13. A gang of burglars, who from the (traces they left behind were evidently professionals who understood their bustness, were at work in Kensington early this morning and ransacked the post office at that place. It was evidently their intention to break into the office on Berlin street also, but in this they were frustrated. Early last evening several men were seen acting in a suspicious manner near the post office on Berlin street and it was decided that they had designs on the post office. They saw that they were watched and slunk away.

A private watchman was placed in the post office for the night. The thieves evisaw their game was up in that vicinity and made their way to Kensington. The post office has been located in a small building nearly opposite the Kilby House since R. A. Moore, the new postmaster, took charge.

The burglars had no tools. Making their way into Hugh Murphy's blacksmith shop they took a brace and bit and two chisels. They got another chisel and 1 brace at the shop of Andrew Wooding, it is belleved. They pried up a window on the north side of the post office towards the rear, having to stand on a barrel to reach it. Having gained an entrance the rest was easy.

A hole was drilled first in the top of the safe and filled with powder, which was ignited by a fuse. The safe withstood the explosion and the burglars were compelled to make another attempt. They bored four holes in the front door of the safe and by the use of dynamite blew the door from its hinges and blew out the whole inside of the safe. They secured as near as can be estimated $4 in stamps and $1.75 in change but left 75 cents in pennies untouched. The noise of the explosion and the accompanying flash were seen by John Ritchie, who lives near by, about 2:55 o'clock.

He thought it came from the power house and made no investigation at that time. He got up at 6 o'clock and when he passed the post office saw the window open. He notified Constable Nelson Taylor, who entered the post office saw the wreck of the safe. At 3:30, it is stated, the watchman at the Berlin post office saw four men in a two-seated team driven past at a great rate of speed towards Meriden. These are believed to be the burglars.

They left all the tools, which they had stolen, in the post office except the bits, which were taken with them. The reason that such a small haul was made is because Postmaster Moore keeps all the stamps at the bank as well as the money when it amounts to a large sum. The safe was a small one and is not usually locked during the week. YALE IGNORES IT. Petition of, the W.

C. T. U. Allowed Pass Along. No action will be taken by the Yale faculty on the petition of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, asking that President Dwight and the governing body of the University see to it that Yale students stop drinking.

The petition, it is stated, will be allowed to pass along. Judge Henry E. Howland, who is practically at the head of the Yale alumni in New York, has been aroused by the temperance boycott. He said, in speaking of the petition to the Yale faculty: This attack on Yale is merely an hysterical, emotional, sensational, self-advertising scheme of a certain prohibition paper published in New York. The university authorities know how to manage their own affairs, and they will resent to the full any attempt to advise and instruct them.

If these temperance people can n- fluence their boys to keep away from the university, let them do so. They, and not the university, will be the only sufferers in the end. There are about Yale only four places where students go. There is the Graduates' Club, to which a boy can go only when introduced by his father, Then there are Traeger's, Mory's and Heublein's, all first-class restaurants, conducted in an orderly manner. There are no drunken orgies or disgraceful scenes in them and the students have a perfect right to visit them if they desire." Fortunes Come to Them.

Meriden, Feb. F. Clark, a driver for fifteen years for August Yost, and Mrs. John Clifford, wife of an electric car conductor, have both fallen heirs to a large amount of money. Mr.

Clark and Mrs. Clifford are brother and sister and they inherit money from two fortunes, one being the estate of an uncle who died in Nevada three years ago, and the other inheritance comes from a half sister, who died in New York a short time ago. The total amount they will each receive is estimated at nearly $50,000 In cash, bonds and real estate. DANIELSON.

Prudence of the Managers In Not Renewing the Flow TIll MorningShort City Meeting Votes 5 Mill Tax Press Club's Annual Notes. Every gas let that was burning in the city at 9:45 o'clock Saturday night was extinguished and for a time there was great commotion among the patrons of the Gas Company. Some feared that the company would turn on the gas without warning, which would result in some damage and possibly loss of life, but all danger was avoided by the action of the company in not renewing the flow of gas until yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. The cause of the stoppage was an accident which happened to the purifier which is located in the east end of the building where the gas 18 made and which is connected with two fron gasometers near by. The cap on top of the purifier blew off just after Superintendent M.

J. Odgen had left the room so that he was not aware of the escape of gas in gasometers until the whole of the 30,000 feet in the gasometers had gone into the air. Manager Burritt. who was at home and who had retired for the night, learning that the gas was not burning in his restdence, made his way to the gas plant, which is owned by the Rockville Gas Electric Company, and gave orders not to turn on the gas until morning, thus preventing any possible danger to life. The police were active and notified all storekeepers who left a gas Jet burning.

In many places kerosene oil lamps were substituted for gas. The police watched the business portion of the city very closely for fear that toughs would take advantage of the situation. Members of the force say that it was the most dismal night they ever spent on the force. The city from 12 o'clock to daylight was in total darkness. The trouble at the gas house was soon repaired and gas was again in use yesterday morning Manager Burritt says this is the first case of the kind in this city and although it is not likely to happen again it is quite possible for it to do SO.

But in case of such an accident the patrons may have no fear that gas will be turned on until morning. The City Meeting. The adjourned annual city meeting was held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the town hall. Over 250 city taxpayers were present. The business before the meeting was the laying of a tax on the present grand list of 500,000.

Mayor Heath presided and L. D. Phelps was clerk. Alderman C. F.

Jackson of the First Ward read a resolution calling for a 3-mill tax. The motion was then made by the alderman to lay a 3-mill tax. The motion was seconded, the question called for and the motion carried by a unanimous vote: The meeting was called to order at o'clock and adjourned at 4:03, being In session three minutes. The opposition which was anticipated did not materialize. It is learned that the 3-mill tax was satisfactory to the taxpayers generally.

They expected a move on the part of the city officials to make it 4 or 5 mills, but the officials had no intention of proposing any such tax. A 3-mill tax will raise on the present a grand list $22,500 less 5 per cent. discount for payment before September 15. This it is thought will be enough to take care of all appropriations made at the city meeting held in December. Press Club Outing.

The members of the local Press Club held their annual meeting at the Hotel Heublein, Hartford, Saturday, The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, F. A. Randall; vice-president, T. N. Wendhiser; secretary, Charles S.

The travel on the trolley to Hartford Saturday and yesterday was very heavy. The tramway company put on extra cars during the afternoon and evening and the crowds were handled all right.

PLAINVILLE. Merritt Ryder who has been assistant postmaster for his brother, Marshall P. Ryder, engaged for the same position with Mr. Tomlinson. It is more than a month since Mr.

BRISTOL'S NEW INDUSTRY. The Rapid Development of the Bell Company Located There. The articles of association of the Bristol Bell Company appear in another column.

This company is organized to carry on the manufacture of the Corbin bicycle bells. The business was originally, started in 1895 as a department of the business of P. F. Corbin at their factories in New Britain, under the management of E. D.

Rockwell of Bristol. In less than a year the business had reached such proportions that more room was needed than could be spared for it in the Corbin factories. Mr. Rockwell then built a frame factory on Downs street in Bristol 300x60 feet in size, and moved the business there.

Drought. Stamford, Feb. Doten of Bridgeport held an inquest yesterday inquiring Into the death of James H. Parker, superintendent of the Stamford almshouse at North Stamford during a violent struggle with Mrs. Bridget Drought, insane inmate.

Parker had been treated for heart disease. It is the opinion of the medical examiner that Mr. Parker during the excitement of the struggle with the insane woman wag seized with an attack of heart failure, and that in his fall his head struck a piece of furniture. Dr. F.

J. Rogers testified that he had examined the Drought woman and found her unquestionably insane. Oscar Shea, an inmate of the almshouse, was the only witness of Mr. Parker's death and he described the scene. He said that no weapon was to be found.

The coroner has rendered no formal verdict as yet, but he is quoted as saying that the verdict will be that Mr. Parker's death was due to heart failure. The funeral of the superintendent will take place to-morrow at 1 p. m. It is expected that one of the officiating clergymen will be President Raymond of Wesleyan, a brother-in-law of Mr.
