Death of M‘rs. Henry K. Selleck.
The sudden death of this estimable lady
was a painful surprise to her many friends,
and a sadder bereavement still, to the grief—
strickcn husband and sorrowing family.
Mrs. Selleck had been quite seriously ill, but
few supposed her in any imminent danger
and when at last the fell destroyer came, it
was like the blasting thunder bolt from out of
a cloudless sky. She was a lady of the lar—
gest benevolence, and scores upon scores of
the poor and lrumble,'will mourn her as their 1
cmstant friend and benefactor. When others
failed, she would visit our aims house and
read to and entertain the children, and Offer
aid and consolation to the aged. ' All about
our town, her christian charities and 'minis-
trations on any of the destitute, were untold
in number and recorded only by the angels.
Verily, she was full of good deeds and her
works shall praise her in the gates.

MAIrAcirmr liousn, or PannxArn Honsa',
or NARAMAKE HOUSE, or OLD WELL HOTEL,
which is it to be? We understand ex-Mayor'
Ely, of South Norwalk, is:undecided which
of the above names to call the Hotel he is
now erecting on the site of the Old Well
Hotel which was destroyed by fire a few
years since. lllahackcm, Pemcnate and Na -
amakc, were the three Indian chiefs. who
conveyed the whole of South Norwalk with
other land to Daniel Patrick, April 20th,1640.
The “Old Well Hotel” for a small hostlery,
would be locally cherished, but we think en—
tirely unsuited to a large and pretentious
building such as Mr. Ely is now erecting.
By all means give us some cuphonious and
. locally appropriate Indian name. Who will
suggest one better than “Naramalz or Nora-
makc House I '-
Mayor Ely has contracted for 500,000 brick
from the yards of Morrissey & Croley, Hav-
crstraw, on the Hudson, and 150,000 have
already been delivered, each brick is stamped
with the initials of the makers, whose repu-
tation is second to none. The stone for the
foundations i to come from the noted “Mine
Hill Quarry,’§lear Roxbury, Litchfield Coun-
ty. The sidewalks are now covered and very
soon a busy gang of brick layers will com-
mence operations.
Rev. Dr. Anderson must gratefully bless
the fortunate stars that lighted his way up
and out Of Norwalk, for he is to-day the
happy possessor not only of Yale's somewhat
heavy dignity Of “D. D.” but is owner in
fee, of the more real and substantial blessing
of a most delightful “cottage by the sea.”
In honor of his mother,—whose maiden
name was Mary Rosc,—he has with happy
conceit, transposed and christened this beau-
tiful summer home “Rose-Meryl. The cot-
tage is after the Swiss pattern of architecture
and is situated on the easternmost point of
land jutting out into, the Sound from the
border line between the towns of Milford
and Orange. The Sound here broadens out,
to its widest point, being some twenty-five
miles across to Long Island. A white sand
bank stretches far sea-ward from the foot
of his yard, and the wide water view gives
a constantly changing and far sweeping pan—‘
orama Of passing steamers and sail vessels,
from “dusky morn till dewy eve.” It is
conceded to be one of tlie'most charming,
picturesque and beautiful sea-side summer
homes between New York and Boston.
Here the genial Rev. Dr. during his vaca-
tions, rests, as best he can, while entertain—
ing the almost daily crowds of his devoted
parishioners, who persistently and welcomly
follow him to his most delightful, cool, sa-
line and aqueous retreat.
Fitch’s Home School.
Miss Davis has practically solved the
painful problem, for the present, at least,
as to what is ;to be the fate of Fitch’s
Home for orphan children. She has for
some time been conducting a very success—
ful boarding and day school for Misses and
Boys and covered a field not fully occupied
in that she supplies the most complete Op-
portunities for a thorough English and clas-
sicdl education, at about half the rates
I charged at more pretentious, but no better
schools elsewhere. Her fall term opens next
month with good prospects of a full school,
as we are glad to learn. Another time, we
propose to. say something concerning this
institution for which we cannot find room this
week.
The new track on the County Fair grounds
is to be formally inaugurated on Thursday,
Sept. 11th.‘ The Gentlemen’s Driving Asso-
ciation will be Organized the same day, and.
the‘ races will take place under their auspices.
The first race will be for a cup valued at
$75, after which the contest will be for a
purse of $50—$25 to first, $15 to second,
and $10 to third. Both races are to be for
horses owned in the County for at least three
months. Entrance fees to be paid to E. A.
Woodward on or before that day. The track
is said to be a great improvemt upon the for—
mer one, and to be much better located in
every respect. -
”
Hovvard University.
Rev. Dr. Harvey Of Howard University,
Washington, will present the claims of that
institution» to the sympathies and aid of
our people, on Sunday next. He will occupy
Rev. Mr. Hamilton’s pulpit in the morning
and probably address a Union Meeting of the
churches in the evening. This is a cause
that should awaken the livelist interest of the
pious, the humane and patriotic, everywhere,
and the Doctor will not fail to deeply inter-
est all who hear him.
The campaign has commenced in Mississip-
pi. Capt. Henry M. Dixon, a former 'bull-
dozer who once compelled a negro crowd to
hang their leader, has been killed by a demo-
crat named Barksdale, simply because he an-
nounced himself as an independent candidate
for sheriff of his county. None but regular
democrats can hold office in Mississippi.

FURTHER Mrsranrous RavsLArioas.
Since the publication in last: week's GA'
mum, of the anonymous letter dated “Frisco,
Aug, ’79,” and postmarked “San Francisco,
0811-. Aug. 36, ’79,” the wildest rumors and
most extraordinary statements of apparent
facts have been afloat. We have taken con—
siderable pains 'to sift out the wheat fromthe
abundant chaff and find there is probable
cause for believing that the prisoner Bucholz,
if not entirely innocent, is not alone guilty,
In addition to the letter sent States Attorney
Olmstead, dated as above, another of precise-
ly similar character was mailed from San
Francisco, two days subsequently, and ad -
dressed “to the Counsel of Bucholtz, South
Norwalk, Conn.” Postmaster Dunning not
seeming to have had a clear idea of his duty,
by handing out this letter to Mr. Austin, who
is asaoeiatc counsel with Gen. Wm. Randcl
Smith and C. F. Bollman, called in Mr. C.
Swartz for consultation as to the proper dis-
position to be made of the letter. Mr.
Swartz suggested that it would be best to re-
mail it to Mr..Bollman at New Haven. In
consequence of this delay, added to the fact
that it was posted at San Francisco two days
later than Olmstead’s letter, gave the States
Attorney the chance, which he was doubtless
justified in availing himself of, (if going to
the locality described, ahead Of and unknown
to, the counsel 'Of Bucholz. Mr. Olmstead
came over to South Norwalk, accompanied
by his law partner, Mr. Scofield, and the
two called upon Mayor Walter Quintard, who
has been appointed by the Probate Court to
administer upon the estate Of Schulte, and
joined by Mr. Quintard, Hack-driver Charles
Finch was employed to drive t c three tothe
late residence of Schulte. Ar ng there it
was but the work of a few moments to go to
the emact spot indicated in. the letter, so precise-
ly was the locality described. A few stones
were rcmov and but a slight upturning of
the earth m e, when something of conceded
importance, but what, Mr. Olmstead for Ob—
vious reasons, declines to state, was found.
It was exhumed from the ground, as stated
in the letter and not from under the stones
lying about the base Of the wall fence-
From this fact‘and the other fact, that the
murder occurred on the evening of Friday,
Dec. 27th, when the ground was probably
frozen, clearly impresses Mr. O. with the con-
viction that the deposit has been recently
made. One thing is absolutely certain and
that is, that whoever wrote or indicted these
letters knew perfectly well the locality. Any
stranger can go to the located spot, from the
letter direction, with unerring ease. Then
the recollection of the singular facts of the
murdered man’s gold. watch being found on
the west side of the road, near John Dingce’s
full three months after the event, and the
watch being all as bright and clean as if
dropped there an hour before the finding,
while hundreds of' people had tramped and
hunted over the spot, immediately after the
murder. Schulte’s hair brush and comb,
were also found on the Sunday afternoon af—
ter the murder, close beside the traveled path,
up which he and Bucholz were coming, al—
though on the Saturday and Sunday forenoon
previous, not less than a thousand persons
went up and down that path carefully scru-
tinizing every inch of the way! Bucholz
was then in custody and could not have drop-
ped these articles, nor could he have commu—
nicated to any cenfcderate, without detection,
a desire on his part to have them so placed.
Of his terrible and unfeigned fright that night
the testimony is overwhelming and yet
there is the one and only one terrible fact of
his having had traced to him some $200 in
large bank bills, known to have been in the
possession of Schulte and .ch, as yet, the
public have had no explanation as to how he
came possessed of them. The trial is to
come off within the next two or three weeks
under our newly adopted code of criminal
practice and then evidence may be adduced
which shall clear up this most damaging of
all appearances against him. Again the little
cedar covert or ambush, behind which the
two men Bucholz says he saw, were supposed
to have been secreted, was cut down a short
time after the murder and no one can be
found who knows by whom, or when, or why.
this was done. ' ' ' ‘
The natural inference at first, in regard to
the anonymous letters, is ‘ that the prisoner
Bucholz has in some, way inspired them.
But his counsel asseverate most positively
that under the strict surveilance of his prison
life, this would have been impossible. His
keeper says Bucholz has had no such paper
or envelopes about him, that he could not
have written them and ,had them forwarded
for mailing back from California. It may
not be improper to state, that Bucholz most’
positively denies to his counsel, that he has
any idea as to what the letters can mean or
sel implicitly believe him to be stating the
trum. A further and most singular circum—
stance supporting the theory that the murder
was committed by an organized gang, is the
fact that on that fatal Friday night three Ger-
mans got on the late night express and went
east to New Haven, paying their fares in bills
to the conductor. That the Conductor ran
the Owl train back to New York the same
night and that one of these Germans went
down with him from New Haven to New
York, again paying him his fare with a bank
note. From all the floating evidence it seems
clear that if Bucholz be guilty, he most assur-
edly had confederates. There are strong
grounds for the suspicion that there is a man
now living in the lower part of our town, who
could tell all about this diabolical murder, if
he would.
When leaving the house of Mrs. Warren,
Mr. Olmstead took the axe from the wood
pile away with him, but no other observable
package or bundle was put into the back. On
this axe, it will be remembered. were seen
spots of blood, at the time of the murder,
but Mrs. Warren explains it by the fact that
it was used in cutting off the heads of chick-
ens on' Christmas day. Blood was also found
on a pair of Bucholz’s pants, but Mrs. W.
states that these were the pants he had on
when killing the chickens for .her and they
were not the ones he wore the night of the
murder. Mr. Olmstead is entirely justified
in declining to state what he found as the re—
sult of his search made under the suggestions
of the letter. The Counsel for the defense
of Bucholz claim however that the fair and
just thing to have done, would have been for
him to have invited them to accompany him
in the search. Mr. O. has however given us
the permission to publish the correspondence
between Gen. Smith and himself on the sub-
ject, and Gen. Smith, knowing the intense
public interest in the case also, with some rc-
luctanee, granted us the same favor. The
following are the letters which explain them—
selves :—
NORWALK, Coma, Aug. 15th, 1879.
DEAR Sun—I have recently read a state-
ment in one of the Bridgeport newspapers
that you have received an anonymous letter
from San Francisco, asserting the innocence
of Buch‘holz and informing you where to
search for evidence which will cOrroboratc
that assertion.
I beg therefore, in the name of humanity
and justice, whichushould concede to every
one in the unfortunate position of this man
every fair means Of disproving the charge
against him, that you will communicate to
me, his counsel, the information you have so
received, and also the result of the search
which you have made upon such informa-
tion. With great respect, yours,
WM. RANDEL SMITH,
of Counsel for Wm. Buchlwlz.
JAMES H. OLlusraAi), Esq., '
State’s Attorney,
Stamford, Conn.
, BRIDGEPOR’I‘, Aug. 16, 1879
WILLIAM RANDEL Snrrrr, Esq., ,
My Dear Sir :—Yours of the 15th inst,
inquiring relative to an anonymous com-
munication concerning the murder of John
H. Schulte, and asking certain questions, is
received. '
In reply, I :have to inform you that I did
receive a communication, a full copy of
10339 a, In. and 7:30 p. m.
where they emanated, and we know his coun-t
which was published in the Famncr of
Bridgeport. ' , .
. AudIassurc you, that it would not re—
quire an appeal to main the name of human-
ity and justice to furnish you with any evi-
dence, which may come into my possession
showing the inncencc of your client, William
Bucholz. I am not seeking to convict the
innocent, but the guilty. And you shall
have in due time, all evidence that may
come to my knowledge, which in my judg—
ment, will tend to establish the innocence
of your client. J. H. OLMSTEAD,
State's Attorney.
A curious bit of evidence is unwittingly
furnished by Mrs. Warren, who says Schulte
seemed to her to be deranged at times and es-
pecially in“ the night would he scream out
and wake up and terrify her whole household.
That his former servant told li'cr he did this
on the steamer coming over and he left him
finally because it so terrified him to sleep in
the room with him. She got Bucholz to
speak to him about this screaming out in his
sleep, it gave her such fright. He seem pos-
sessed with an idea that he would be assassi—
nated. The two entries in his diary, one,
where stones were buried through the win-
dow of his sleeping room in Germany, and
the other where five men fired muskets into
his bed-chamber and one man was his nephew
and son Of the brother indebted to him, &c.
A still more convincing proof of the deep
impression of such a fear on his mind is
shown in the will, which he prepared himself
and deposited with the proper estate ofilee
before he left Germany. 'Wc give here the
exact copy of the curious instrument as writ-
ten Out by himself andin which, as it willbe
seen, he bequeathes all his vast fprtune to the
father of the boylwho he writes down in his
diary as having attempted to kill him :—
Schulte’s Will.
The last will and testament of Schulte,
was executed and left on file, at the German
equivalent of our Court of Probate, in 1874,
about a year before his last visit to America,
(he having visited this country on a fOrmer
occasion) and in this will he declares his
property to amount to two hundred and fifty
thousand thalers—eor about an equal number
of dollars, but as the government tax onall
devised property is four per cent. it is
belived his fortune, aggregated fully three
quarters of a million of dollars. This will
is copied and translated from the original
records in Germany, and verified by the
German Consulin New York. It bears
thefollowing endorsement in our Norwalk
Probate Ofilce :—
“Will of Johann Heinrich Schute deceas—
ed.”
Exemplified copy and translation, approv—
ed,and accepted, July 30th, 1879.
The following is an exact copy of the
will, as taken from the official German re-
cords;—
Attest copy of -
SonULTa WILL, No 5—75, I 1428.
Published Hagan, Jan. 23 18 79
Signed Hesse, Judicial Counselor
LAST WILL axn, TESTAMENT. .
In case I should leave this life premature-
ly, I hereby devise and bequeath my 'whole
estate, both personal and real, credits and
debits to my only surviving brother,the pro-
prietor F. W. Schulte of Grassenholthauscn.
In case my said brother should die before
me I then, and in that case, I leave all my
property to my next of kin.
I leave this world conscious of having
always acted right ‘and fulfilled my duty and
not feeling any remorse by ignoring and an—
nullihg in this will, the legal validity and
consequences of the Degreegpf thg-pounty
Court at Hagen, dated December 18th 1861,
judiciarly decaring me the father of a bas-
tard, as well as the other decrees rendered
against me. Signed,
’Jon. Ham SouUL'ra,
Proprietor.
, Boclerhcide, the fifth day of Dec., 1874.
* Admitted to Probate.
' Another curious incident in' this long chap-
ter of mysteries and marvelous events, is the
fact that Bucholz had an uncle die, in Germa-
ny in January last, nearly a month after the
murder, and while he was in prison under
suspicion, who left him in his will the sum
of about two thousand dollars. To get this
bequest Bucholz authorized and employed
Mr. Bollman to proceed to Germany to obtain
for him, this legacy. Mr. B. is a German, a
lawyer, and gentleman of good standing in
New Haven. He had a wife and family still
living in the “Faderland” and would have
gone to Germany, even had he not been so
commissioned by Bucholz. He visited the
home of his unfortunate client, collected his
legacy, visited his own family, and has just
returned to New Haven. Bucholz, with this
money in hand, will of course be able to pre-
pare a much better defense than if penniless,
as before. It is a God—send to him and a
most curious incident in the long chapter of
curious events, in this most curious case. It
does away with and dispels the imputation
quite freely'madc, that the missing $60,000,
now known to have been on the person of
Schulte the night Of the murder, or any part
of it, was used by Bucholz to defray the ex—
penses of his counsel to Germany and back.
Mr. Bollman did not visit the home of the
Schult'es’ and had no communications with
any of the murdered man’s representatives;
It would seem but an act of humane fairness
to give the accused Bucholz the benefit of
any exculpatory evidence Mr. Olmstead's
search may have adduced. And we presume,
in event the States Attorney declines, under
a suspicion that the prisoner is in some way
responsible for or connected with the trans—
action. that his counsel will appeal to the
Court to order its production. Then will
come the still curious inquiry—the ground
having been frozen on the night Of- the 27th
_of last December, when. were—or was this last
discovered evidence placed there ? If recent-
ly, as seems probable, and while Bucholz was
incarcerated, then who so placed it, and after
all who wrote the letters, for, whoever the
writer may be, he clearly knows all about the
locality and all about the murder. '
“Told for a Memorial for Her.”
In the death of the beloved wife of Our es-
teemed Town Clerk, H'enryK. Selleck, Esq.,
Norwalk has lost one of her best and most
useful women; and the first Congregational,
Church, of which her-husband is one- ‘Of the -
Deacons, is deprived of a most active and '
important member-whose self-denying and
unremitting labors in the Sunday School. es—
pecially in connection with the missionary
department, were most highly appreciated.
Hundreds of graduates and members of the
excellent school of Rev. Chas. M. Selleck,
in which she has so long been a matron and
mother to the boys, and the many teachers,
patrons and friends of the school, will deeply
deplore Mrs. Selleck’s removal. ‘
Her work in the temperance cause and
sympathy for incbriatcs and other families
was most hearty and untirlng.
Self-forgetful and self-sacrificing, yet mat
cheerful, joyous, and joy-giving, nothwith—
standing infirmity and disease, she toiled on
beyond her strength, giving it and her life,
doing good.
“Ye Jolly Oystermcn."
The regular annual pic-nic and chowder

tionary way. That is, if not Satisfactory to
the committee and district he willingly con—
sents to retire at the end of the first three

Rev. 0. W. Gates preached twice last Sab-

First Baptist Church. A reception was given
him last evening, at the residence of Rev. Mr.
Bentley. He leaves to-day (Tuesday) for

and in about a week, takes the overland route
to his distant home in Southern California.
F. & A. M. Excursion.
The Masonic Excursion to Coney Island is
to come Off tO-morrow‘, Wednesday, on the
excursion steamer Minnie Cornell. We know
nothing about this steamer,but have no doubt
the eommitteehad good reasons for their se—
lection. The boat is running daily between
New York and this famous resort, and we
presume has Often carried larger crowds than
she would be apt to take from Norwalk.
The committee have wisely limited the sale
of tickets, however, so that the boat will not
be unpleasantly crowded as was the Schuyler
last year. The boat will land at the New
Iron Pier—the very center of actractions,—
with no extra charges and no long walks in
the sand to reach the right place. ,The boat
is expected to arrive about noon, and to
leave at 5 o’clock, giving passengers time for
lunch, bathing, viewing the sights, and hear.
ing the splendid bands at the leading hotels.
Fred. Mead will furnish refreshfirents on
.board, and there will be music for dancing.
The Boat leaves Langdon’s wharf, above the
Adelphi’s dock. Secure your tickets.
William W. Beers, Esq., Of Branchvillc,
died suddenly on Wednesday night last, about
11 o'clock. The Friday previous he wrote to
Mr. George S. Gregory, of Norwalk, to meet
