Mrs. Julia Downs.
Mrs. Julia Downs, widow of lienry B.
Downs, died suddenly Wednesday after-
noon. She had been slightly ill for sev-
eral days. butdier case was not. consider-
ed serious. About 10 o'clock \\’ednes-
day there was a change, and she rapidly
sank until death took place at 2.30. The
funeral was held at the deceased‘s rest-
dence at 2 o‘clock tn—day. This is the
fourth death in the family within a few
years—father. mother and two daugb-
ters. Thus the family circle is being
lessened one by one, but those remain-
ing in the midst of their sorrow and
grief can look forward to the future
when they shall again be united in the
world above where sorrow and death is
unknown.
Library Entertainments.
The people of South Norwalk are to be
favored» with a Library Course of enter-
tertainments of the sauna high character
as those which have been so much ap-
preciated in past seasons. The course
will consist of four entertaiments, the
first of which Will be given at the- Con-
gregational church Monday evening,
Jan. 3. by A. P. Burbank, the elocution-
ist. This gentleman needs no introduc-
tion or recommendation to Norwalk audi~
ences. The second entertainment in the
course will‘be by the Courtney Ladies
Quartette, composed of well known solo-
ists. The third evening will be occupied
by George Riddle. whose readings in the
course last: winter are so well remember-
ed. The caucluding entertainment, will
be an illustrated lecture by C. E. Bolton,
subject to beannounced hereafter. This
gentleman has travelled extensively in
Europe, corresponding while abroad with
leading American newspapers, and is
now writing a series of articles for the
St. Nicholas magazine. His “an enter-
tainments“ and “ realistic travels” are
a ken of in the highest terms by Dr.
incent, Wallace Bruce and others.
The price of course tickets has been place
ed at one dollar which ought to insure a

is going on rapidly. There is a most
pleasing unanimity of sentiment
in favor of the enterprise. and the
sociable New Years“ eve promises to be a
tnost popular and pleasant occasion.
The (lander club. under whose auspices
this effort is being tirade. are working
hard to place a large sum at the disposal
of the library. They also want the affair
in be a very popular one. and hope that
the friends of the enterprise will make a
special effort to participate iii the soci-
. able.
One week remains in which to aug~
inent the net receipts. If all friends of
the Library will make the effort. one
thousand dollars can be realized. This is
:i larze amount but is not greater than
the Library deserves. nor beyond the
ability of this community to easily pro-
\‘ltlt‘.

Murder and Suicide.
Newtown was the scene of a most cold
blooded ‘murder \Veduesday night. For
some time past \Villiam “farmer, who
has been in Norwalk at times, had been
on intimate terms with Mrs. Mary Lynch.
a rather prepossessing young woman who
formerlv lived in Bridgeport with her
husband. A few weeks ago she took
up her residence near Newtown with
her brother-in-law. Fred Porter. Wed-
nesday night. \\'artier called to see her.
and they quarrelled. During the difficul-
ty \\’aruer drew a revolver and shot
Mrs. Lynch through the heart.
The unfortunate woman fell face
downward to the floor, dead. Warner
then asked her mother. “Do you really
think she is dead?" At the some instant
he sent another bullet. through the back
of his victim. He then turned and left
the house and went to Hattertown,where
e remained until three o’clock Thumday
morning. He then returned to the
house, where his victim lay, and. after
sitting on the front fence awhile, enter-
ed. and found himself alone with the
dead body, the family having deserted
the house from fear. The house was
soon surrounded with armed men. and
when sufficient courage had been mus-
tered some one entered.
In the bedroom, on the floor. lay the
body of Mrs. Lynch. There were two
wounds in the back, one severing the
spinal cord and the other imbedding in
her flesh a wire from her corset to the
depth of eight or nine inches. Theotber
