This was the last tho people in the hotel heard of the burglars and the last that the po llen of South Norwalk an Urldgepurt hae heard of them up to date. Ther disappeared, leaving behind the blasted safe, the uncon scious, Hartlgan, and the steel chlel. As soon as they entered the small room the men cut the wires, both the lm aland longdistance telephone, and them was no means of calling for assistance ln that way. So a committee of fiesta was formed and called at Proprietor rnlpps's cottage adjoining the hotel to Inform him of wht hsd happened. Mr. Thlpra was awakened and started toward the hotel. When ho got to the plana the news reached him that evervthlng ln the hotel safe had been taken. This was too much, and ho fell tn a faint on the piazza. It, took some time to revive him. and when he had come to himself and thought that a message might be sent from a neigh bor s telephone nearly three-auartsrs of an hour had passed. He fired a shot near ths stable In order to wake up tht men employees, but ths burglars had already a start of nearly an hour. The men took everything ln the safe. Ths amount they got ln money amounted to about 1,300. Four hundred dollars belonged to Mr, La Shelle, (78 represented the receipts from the charity performance, anc more than 100 was the wages! of tenants which Imd been deposited there for safety; the rest of It belonged tn Mr. Phtpps, but $80 of whst was taken from hlra was ln checks. The Superintendent o the Bridgeport police and a forctt of men started down towaid Green's Farms to head oil the men as soon as the alarm was received: tel.grsms were sent to tho New York police and the police at Nor walk, while men wero stationed along the beach to prevent the robbers escaping ln boats: but It Is believed that rt least two of them came on horseback. ar the spot at which they were first seen by Watchman Har tlgan, the road was found to have been torn up as though by the hoofs of horses that had been kept standing there for some time. At tl o'clock It was decided there was no chance of arresting tha men Immediately. Mr. 1'hlpns, the proprietor ot the hotel, said that he han no reason to believe that ther were the same men who had robbed ths hotel two weeks ago at Hoton IMlnt. "I am perfectlr certain," he told Trig Sew reporter, "that there was somepody In tht gong who knew enough about the hotel to know that Sunday night was the best time to undertake the robbery. Who lt was. I have no Idea. I have not discharged any of ny em- Slayees this year, and the police have no more nowledge tf who tha men may be than I have." After the men had escaped there was no sleep for the gueats of the hotel. They dressed ana came down stairs to talk over the robbery. The only practical result to most of them was the loss of several hours' sleep and a phenom enallv good appetite for breakfast. Mr. Phlnns hod It served an hour ahead of time, and they stopped talking about the robbery long enough to eat, but they were at tha robbery again soon after breakfast. They talked about lt all of to-day on tha lawn and on the piazzas, where piquet and embroidery were for the first time at a discount. BEPOBTBI) BIBD3JZ.L AH DEAD. Mlx-si sst Qotmrvewr sToesittmt Body (teat to Hla Uo-ao aa til a. The Oouvsrneur Hospital authorities mads a serious blunder Tuesday night of last week. when they officially declared dead a patient who was oa tha nigh road to recovery. The pa tient was Charles Blrdsall, and he Uvea with his tlstsr and her husband at South Third and Berry streets. Wllliamshurga. He was em ployed aa a driver by D. McNamara. a dealer ln grain at S3 Pitt street. On Tuesday ha was prostrated by the heat while delivering groin to Solomon Alter of 11 Montgomery street, and was removed to Oouvsrneur Hospital uncon scious. That same night Mr. McN'amara heard of his misfortune and sent a man around to ths hospital to find out how ha was getting along. A doctor at tha hospital told the messenger that Blrdsaii was dead, and later ths death was officially given out and appear ed,. la JYffiftCii, day morning's papers. Taere was grist tn Blrdtall's noms when Mr. McXamara sent word of the man's death, and arrangements were made at once to have tha body sent to Wllliamsbursh. Friends, relatives. and neighbors gathered In the nousa, and an undertaker was hired to take charge ot tha body as soon as It arrived. The body of ice dead man waa sent over on Wednesday, but as soon as tha sheet ln which It was wrapped was removed tt was seen that It was not Blrdsall's body. Messengers were hur ried over to the hospital to find out what It all meant, and whet; they got there they learned to their great joy that a mistake bad been made, and that Blrdsaii was not dead. Investigation by the hospital authorities showed that there bad been a mizup of names, and that the dead man had been registered as Blrdsall. Blrdsall waa well enough yesterday morning to return to his home in YVUIlamsburgh. Ha ate a good meal on bis arrival last evening, and received tha congratulations of his fr ends, many of whom had not learned tnat he was yet In tha land or the living. He would not discuss the mistake, but his sister, Mrs. SUinhardt, said: "I cannot understand how the mistake was made, nor have I lrarned the name of the victim of the heat supposed to have been my brother I only know that wa have bin put to conquer able exDense, and believe tha: the hospital au. thorlties should reimburse us." aOOBttrXLT'B BID FOR COPS.

Mr. and Mrs, William Jennings Bryan reached Upper Red Hook to day and have settled down for a qulst week at the horns nt E. C. Perrlne. Mrs, Perrlna waa onea Mrs. Bryan's school teacher. Her husband Is the leading Republican of the Tillage, Post master, and storekeeper. He lives In an unpre tentious but comfortable frame house adjoining his store. Tha Popocratlo candidate could hardly hava ohosen a better place to rest before the campaign. The village Is one of but a few hundred Inhabitants and lt six miles from the railroad station at Barry town. During the evening Mr. Brran mst tha press representatives. Whsn asked whether hs would answer Bourke Cockran's spetch to-morrow night, hs said: "Mr. Cockran and I discussed the silver ques tion and the Income tax Question In Congress. If he advances any new arguments ther can go to the country along with my speech ot last week. I shall not return to New York until the latter part ot September, when I expect to speak briefly In Brooklrn on my way to New England, and In New York on my return from New Eng land." Mr. Bryan was questioned regarding Mr. Thurston's demand that he reply to the charge made by a Chicago newspaper that he had been hired by the silver mine-owners to ttump the country In their Interest, lie said that this storv bad been denied several times, and that a denial would again be made at any early date. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left John Brtsben Walker's house at Irvlngton at 0 o'clock. Mr. Sewall started for New York an hour earlier, accompanied by Mr. Walker. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan took the 0:11 train from Irvlngton. There was nobody except Mr. Walker at the train to see them off. Ther left the train at Yonkcrs. where a crowd ot about flftr men waited In the station to greet them. As soon as the crowd caught tight of the Boy Orator the men ran for him and surrounded him. Then began a scramble to thake his hand. Mr. Bryan and his wife submitted with good grace, and shook hands with everybody that cams their way. Then soms one asked them for their auto graphs, and they were soon distributing them. The crowd Increased aa the candidate, his wife, his secretary, Mr. Cutwrlgnt, and Mr. Walker began to make their way toward the steamboat dock. The Boy Orator, ln his broad pearl-colored bat, his light sack coat, and low-cut vest. showing a great exnanse of linen, lean unusual figure. Every one recognized him at once, and by the lime the dock was reached the crowd had increased to several hundred. The steam boat Albany was late: In the Intervening time the Bryant distributed autograph. The crowd cheered when they stepped over the gangplank, and a few ot the passengers on the upper deck of the Altaar Joined In. It was evident, how ever, that ths people had gathered more from curiosity than from any enthusiasm for the candidate. General Manager Oleott of the company met ih Bryans and escorted them to the parlor state rooms that were set aside for them. Mr. Oleott explained that the company bad declined to -sloa-Uke boat allrvlnglaa tn take thsm on there because ot the lack of docking facilities and the danger of running a small boat alongside the steamer In a nlgb wind at high tide, some one tnggeated mat Mr. Bryan hold a reception. Wbo mada the augreitlon It not known, but he loet no time tn following It. With his wife ha took n.t place In the cabin, and a number of passengers filed by him end shook hands with him and his wife. About J00 persons. UO per rant, of wham were women, made use of this opportunity to meet the Popocrstic candidate. Among the crowd was a small bor neatlr clad ln a blue sailor suit. He seamed to hesitate about holding out his hand to Mr. Brran. who speedily realized the cause, for be spied a Mc Klnler button In the lapel ot the boy's coal. " I do not think I ought to ahaka handa with you." laughed the Bor Orator. Tha bor tailor's father teemed greatlr perturbed. "ou tea. Mr. Bryan." ha tUmmerad. "a lit tle girl gave It to him, and be has to wear it." "It ain't so," ytlled the boy sailer. "1 bought It myself." "Then I'll siva you another and make rou a bimetalllst." tald the Bor Orator, and no reached down into hit pocket and drew forth a Hrran button, which he fattened tn the lad's collar. The reception took about half an hour, and then Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went to the pilot house, where they watched the tcenerr along the river. There waa not much Popocratlo tan llment on tha boat. The people stared at the candidate, but few were heard to ezpress any alm ration of the principles for which he stands. The bor at the news stand reported that be sold sixteen McKlmey buttons, and not a single Bryan badge. 1 he Bor Orator and hi wife were at dinner with Hugh J. Brady, chair man of the Democrallo Central Committee of Be Louis, whom they met on lb boat. When Newburgh was reached about J00 men had assembled on the dock there. Ther thought that a vansrable smooth-faced man wbo was facing the dock was he whom tbr sought and they began to cheer him lustily. He bowed graciously. Down in ih dining room the Bor Orator heard th cheers and sprang from the table and ran up on deck and bowed repeatedly. When the crowd found the right inn they gave him a few (table hurrahs About 700 people were awaiting Bryan at Poughkeeosle when the boat reached the dock at 1 15 o clock, but that they were drawn there largely by cnrloitr was evident from the weakness of the demonstration. A mob surrounded Mr and .Mrs Bryan a they got off tne lioat. Ther was more handshaking and distribution of autographs. A pullcaman took chrKe of the Boy Orator and bis wife and made way for them to the station. block dls. tant About 400 men and boys followed at their heels. Cries of "Mpeechl" "bpeechl" be- f:an to mm from tha crou d. It wss too tempi ng for the Bor Orator. II forgot all his solemn declarations that he would nut open hi mouth while In this Htata at this time, and, Iravlng his wife In th walling room, mounted a barrel out side and add ressefl the crowd. 11 saldi "1'ilMw Citizen- I am here fur a rest, and I dlil not aipei t to make a speech, but I probably shall not you again, and I shall lake this oppnrtnn ty to say a few word to you I am very ulnd to see you all.

Mr. Perrlne hurried his friends to a carriage, and, followed by a dozen other rural traps, started for bis home. Bed Hook, a long straggling village through which they pasted, was In picnic at tire, but not bubbling over Willi enthusiasm. A few houses were decorated with flags. The porches were filled with people, who watched the carriages as tbry rattled br. but only one or two cheers were heard for the Popocratlo leader. "You see, tbls Itn't a silver town," explained a citizen. We're glad to have Brian come our way, and the people around here will give blm a hearty reception, but there are not many who will vote for him."

At H o'clock, by Invita tion of Mr. Perrlne, about 300 residents of the villas and the turroubdlng country assembled at the Perrlne home and were Introduced to the Bor Orator. Jacob Ellstfer made a formal speech welcoming Mr. Brran tothe village. Mr, Bryan replied briefly, thanking all tor their hospitality.

A large Nationalist dem onstration In favor of granting amnesty to all Irish political prltonsrs took place here to day, and waa the cause of serious riot ing. An Immtntt procession of Nationalists marchsd through tht strseti of the city and proceeded to Ilannattoun. a suburb ot Belfast, headed by bands of music and display ing numerous banners bearing Inscriptions In dicating the purpose of the movement. The streets were lined with spectators, who hooted, groaned, and Jeered the processionist, and finally threw a few stones at the paraders. Some of tbe paraders were armed with spears, and these men made an attack upon their tor mentors, despite the efforts of the police, who were out ln full force, to prevent them. A. fierce fight entued, and the police mada sev eral charges with drawn batons upon tha combatants, as the result of which there were a great number of broken heads. A dozsn or more of the rioters on both sldss wsre taken to the hospital after order was restored. All of thlt occurred before noon. Later the city magtttrates held a meeting and Ordered that the troops be In readiness tn put down the disturbances which tt was feared would occur when the paraders returned from Hannaatoun ln the evening. Every preparation was aooordlngly made to suppress any attempt at rioting, and for a time the centre of tbe city to which the dltburbancee of the morning were confined was quiet, al though the streets were alive with excited people. The procession returned to Bslfast ln the evening, when It was soon seen that the mis givings ot the authorities were not unfounded. As the procession approached the city the great est excitement prevailed. A number of opposition mobs had gathered along ths Intended routeot the procession on Its return, with the object of making an attack upon the paraders, and to prevent rioting ths police barred the route which had been laid out for the return march of the procession and turned the parade oft Into another street. In the mean time a heavy rain began falling, but this bad not the tllgbiett effect ln diminishing the size of the crowds which tnronged th streets, nor ln allay ing tbe exoltement of the people. The orowd was not aware of tbe exaet route taken by the paraders until It, was too late to make an attack upon them, and tbe procession broke up without further fighting. Tbe outlook, however, continued to be men acing until quite a late hour, but despite tbe threats that were mad there was no further dlsordsr. The rain continued to tall heavily, and this Dually had the effect of ksausing the mob to dltperte. The Incident called to mind the serious trou bles between the Catholics and Orangemen that occurred some years ago, when a number of persons were killed by the troops who had been called out to restore order. noBSBtrmppED ix tub street.
