‘ Yesterday morning Arville. daughter
of Banks Morehouse, former pro rictor
of tho Norwalk Hotel was found in
one of the cheapest moms of a cheap ho~
tel in New Haven. Last Sunday night
she arrived at the hotel in compan With
a man somewhat older than hersel . who
entered on the register “Albert M. Joy
and wife.“ That night strange noises.
were. heard in their room an used
comment among the other boa rs.
When Jov came down stairs the next
morning he rtkpiested that lot water
and mustard be sent. upstairs to his wife.
who was ill. The next. day she did not
leave her bed. according to Joy‘s story.
and Tuivtday night. he sa '3 she became
dangerously sick. Very atcin the night
Joy sent to Dr. Paul C. Skiff. who lives
but a few doors away. for a simple rem-
edv for bowel complaint. Dr. Skiff
called at the house. but. found the wo-
man past medical aid. She died. accorj~
ing to Joy‘s account. at, 1:30 o‘clock yes-
terday morning. ‘ _
After daybreak Joy sent to Dr. Skifl
for a certificate of death. This the Doc~
tor refused to issue. hilt sent word at
once to the police station that a woman
had died at. King‘s Ilotel apparentl ' from
the effects of some drug that hat been
administered to her. Coroner Bollman
was notified. The sight in the
room where the dead body lay
was not a cheerful: one. The carpet
was faded, the stove was turned away
from the wall. the chimnev-hole was
stuffed with old papers. and the bed-
stead wasn huge tumble down affair.
On a broken chair was hung a dress of
black silk trimmed with velvet. in the
bed lay the form of a woman about 3‘3
of’age. ller blue eves were closed. and
her long. luxuriant light hair in its dis-
order almost covered the second pillow
in the bed. There were spots of blood
onthe face and pillow: her face bore a
painless expression.
Albert M. Joy. who claimed last Sun-
day to be the husband of the dead wo-
man. is about ll?» years of age. and for
the past month has been engaged as bar-
tender at the (irand l'nion Hotel. in
New llaven.- He says he knew the dc~
ceased before she was married. and that
he used to work for her father. He
claims that a. note that he received from
her about three weeks ago. was the first
intimation that he had that slit-\vns'iu
New Haven. Then. according to his
story. he engagmi rooms for her att .
Union House. and had her taken cani 0
there until Sunday. The. body of Mrs.
Thompson was taken to the almslmuse
morgue yesterdayrand Dr. M. (‘. \\'Iiitc.
the city medical examiner. performed an
autopsy. and will report the result to the
coroner tosliiy. The physicians are con-
fident that it is a case of death from an
attempted abortion or drucging or both.
but the authorities think that it has not
yet appeared that .Iov had any motive
for committing: either crime. and though
closely watched he has not been arrested.
(‘oroner Ilollman states that no further
disclosures will made before to~morrow.

Origin of Billiards.
The game of billiards was invented about
the middle of the sixteenth ceutu by a
London pawnbroker named illinm
ch. In wet weather this pawnbmker
was in the habit of taking down the
three balls and with the yard-measure
pushing them. billiard fashion, from the
counter into the stalls. In time the idea
of aboard with side pockets suggested
itself. A black letter mnnnccri says:

As the republican papers can tind Iioth~
ing to say against Mr. Swartz. the denim
cratic candidate for sheriff. the busy
editors are trying to see how many dill
fereiit ways they can spell his name.
The probability is they will find the right
way after election.——Ilinbury llcnuwnia
Some of the republican papers in the
southern pertiwn of the county are en-
deavoriug to make it appear that Mr.
Sivan}: was nominated because he was a
German. in order to draw votes from
that element in both political parties.
That is a wrong: conclusion altogether.
IIis nationality was not considered: but
does he possess the require-I requisites of
the. democratic party—“Is be honest. is
be faithful. is be capable?" was the only
question involved. That he will be
elected. many opposed to Iiiiii politically.
virtually concede. as the party is solid
for him throughout the county. Fortu-
nately the disal'ftx‘tioii that «existed in
this town three years agw does not now
exist. and the large number of democrats
that voted for t‘rosby will now cast their
ballots for the regular noiuiucc.——l).iii—

the present time. An allir‘niativc an~
swer may be made to each question. That

very clearly that the county is demo-
cractic. and also that not only can Mr.
t‘rosby be defeated but that the county
has once rejected his candidacy. He
was. however. elected in 1580 when his
campaign was aided to success by the
Garfield and Miles candidacics and by an
unfortunate dissension in the democratic
ranks. But for these exceptional cir‘
cu mstances. he would have been defeated
in 1880 as he was in 1877. This year the
conditions are very different. No golden
stream from the Miles coffers will flow
through the county; there is no presidem
tin! or gubernati‘bnal campaign to call
out the full republican strength: and the
democracy are united and harmonious
in support of Mr. Swartz. In addition
