A” MISSING BIII.

Arthur Hargrave Runs Away
When ThreAIened to be
Returne‘d to the County
Home. "

ProInised to do Anything if Not Sent Back.

Arthur Hargrave, twelve years old,
has been missing since Thursday night
last from the home of his foster parents
in Darien, and no trace of him has yet
been found. Several months ago A. S.
Bibbins, principal of the Darien school,
and his wife,-wishing to adopt a boy of
the above age, found A1thu1 at the
Childr en’s Home in N01 walk, and, be-
ing attracted by A1t-’hur 5 b1 ightness,
gave him a home with them. On
Thursday night- he suddenly disap-
peared, and Mr. Bibbins is in search of
him. The boy’s parents live in Stam-
ford, but the little fellow knows scarcely
anything concerning them, as he had
been placed in the Home when quite
young through their neglect. He has
also a Sister living in that city. The
boy was of a rather eccentric disposi-
tion, Mr. Bibbins says, and at times
had spells of obstinacy. He had a con-
stant dread of returning to the Home,
and a mere threat to send him back was
sufficient to correct him. His answer
would be :

“I will do anything if you won’t send
me back to that place.”

Thursday afternoon Arthur had an-
other Of his obstinate spells, -and Mrs.

Bibbins unintentionally» went a step

further than usual by threatening to
havehim return to theHome onSaturday
if- he did not obey. In the evening he
went out to play with the other boys,
but at bed time he failed to appear,and
Mr. Bibbins and his wife became
worried. About ten O’clock Mrs. Bib-
bins, Opening the back door, found
Arthur sitting outside. But instead of
00ming in at her requesthdarted away
and has not since been seen.

Arthur is described as tall and Slen-
der for his age, light hair and complex-
ion, wearing corduroy knee pants,
square cut coat and cap.

It is supposed ,that he imagined he
was to be returned to the Home on
Saturday, and his dread of the place
caused him to run away rather than go
back. ‘

A New Canaan School Teachers Exper-
iment. I

Miss Almeda Haskin teaches in the
Center school at New Canaan, and one
of her pupils is Ernest Wood, aged ten.
Ernest has a habit of whispering in
school, and Miss Haskin tried to cure
him the other day by tying his jaws
with a piece of cord. When Ernest
went home with a mark on his jaws, his
relatives became wroth, and went to
see Editor Kirk aboutit. The boy was
not seriously hurt, and Miss Haskin
says his flesh would not be marked at
all if he hadn’t agitated his jaws and
tightened the string. The people of
New Canaan are now debating Whether
free speech shall be squelched by strings
and school—marms.

'A Novel Strawberry Bed.

George Pettie,of Golden Hill,Bethe1,
has a novel way of growing strawberry
plants. He has a large barrel filled
with soil in which the plants are
grown. In the sides Of the barrel are
over 100 holes, and a plant is set out in
each one of these openings. The plants
are loaded down with berries. The
plan has proved very successful, and
. saves much labor in caring for the
plants, as there is no weeding to be
done.

, THE MURDER TRIAL.

Fuda’s Case Likely to Last at
Least Another Week.

It is Hinted that Attorney :Fessender Willi

Spring a Surprise.

The Fuda murder trial completed its
second week Friday afternoon and the
indications now are that it will run four
more days. Each week has developed
a big sensation and the probabilities
are that the closing one will be no ex-
ception, if rumor proves true.

There are some who say Imapassino
may go upon the stand and ask to be
allowed to tell his story. If he was ali
lowed to do so it would indeed be a most
remarkable climax to a trial which has
few parallels in-this country.

It is expected that the defense will
conclude its case by tO-morrow after-
noon. Then will come the rebuttal and
it will be surprising if the Hon. Samuel
Fessenden has not something up his
Sleeve to bother the defense. The
learned state’s attorney is noted for ter-
rific attack he invariably brings to bear
after the defense has rested its main
case.

Attorney Stiles Judson for . the de-
fense has conducted the case in a man-

ner to call forth the admiration of those

who have watched it. At the start it
looked well nigh hopeless, but every
inch of the way has been fought until
the lookers on are willing to admit that
there is at least a doubt.

The hearing will be resumed to-mor-
row morning at 10 o’clock.

SALARY IN ARREARS.

Rev. J. T. WillIs of the Greenwich Presby-
terian Church Resigned His

The Rev. J. T. Willis, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, Greenwich, the
mortgage on which is held by Henry

0. Havemeyer, has resigned his charge,
of the church, and yesterday notified .

his congregation that he will go to
Europe this week. The reason for his
action is based on the fact that there is

SHUT AND KILLED.

Edward Long, of Greenwich,

Mysteriously Murdered ‘1
in That Town.

Found Lying in The Fields With a Bullet in
His’Right Temple.

Edward Long, the 18 year Old son of
Edward Long, night watchman at the
factory Of Joseph Milbank & CO., in
Greenwich, was found shot early Sun-
day morning in the fields near Bell Ha-
ven. The boy was shot through the
right temple and died at 5:45 o’clock,
without gaining consciousness to give
a clue to his slayer.

The shot was heard by a number who
hastened t0 the scene of the murder,
but could not see anyone in. the vicin-
ity at the time. They carried the- body
to the home of Dr. Burke near the rail-
road station and afterwards to the home
of the boy on Lewis street, Greenwich.

Sheriff Fitzroy was notified and at
once set out on the case. On visiting
the scene of the murder he found a

. black straw hat, evidently the property

of some woman who was implicated in
the deed. ‘

On inquiry he learned from Thomas
Dobson that a woman and man from
Stamford came to Greenwich Saturday
night and were around to the various
cafes, imbibing intoxicating liquors and
that he saw Long in their company
late in the evening and the whole party
were very much under the liquor’s in-
fluence. Sheriff Fitzroy, with Dobson,
went to Stamford Sunday, taking with
him the black hat that he found. He
traced the OWner of the hat, who said
it had been stolen from her by another
woman some weeks ago. .

No arrests have as yet been made,
but a number of persons are under sus-
picion and some action will be taken
tO-day.

About six weeks ago Long .was res-
cued from drowning by E. C Bene—
dict, who discovered the lad on an up-
turned boat 1n the sound and when he
was taken aboard the Oneida he was
utterly exhausted.

Took Carbolic Acid for Whiskey.

John McCarthy, a hostler of New
Haven, was taken to the hospital early
yesterday morning suffering _ from
poisoning by carbolic acid. He took a
dose of the acid, mistaking it for whis-
key. He had two bottles in his pocket,
one of whiskey and the other of the
poison, and while going home after the
saloons closed decided to take a drink.
He was sober enough to realize his
mistake, and so notified a policeman.

‘The adjourned cases of the State vs.

up in the Town Court this morning.

There was quite a number of persons
who thought that the trial would be Of
a sensational character, but they were
doomed to disappointment.

Thegdetails leading up to the arrest
of the two young men have previously
been published in these columns and a
repetition. of the same would seem to
be uncalled for.

Both men pleaded guilty to a breaCh

Linus St. John Benedict.

This aged and longtime citizen of
NOrwalk, entered upon-the better life
at a quarter to eight o’clock this Mon-
day morning at his Old home on- Lewis
street. He was born in New Canaan
on the 17th of June in the year 1813,
thus lacking but ten days of being four
score and four years Old. F011 many
years of his active life, Mr. Benedict
conducted a stage and express business
between New Canaan and the Norwalk
& New York steamboat line. He was
one of the last heirs of the famous
Samuel St. John estate which was so
long and stubbornly litigated in New
Haven.

At the terrible Norwalk Drawbr idge
disaster on the morning of May 6th
1853, he made himself famous by taking
the leading part in the resuscitation Of
the then young daughter Of . Rev.
Dr. Griswold, who was rescued .after
having been under water for more than
a quarter of an hour. Mr. Benedict in
assisting to convey the body up the har-
bor bank, discovered warmth about the
young lady’s arm-pits and set several
ladies vigorously rubbing her chest
and limbs. Nearly a half hour elapsed
'of this severe hand friction, when to
the surprise of all, her eyes Opened and
She. began to gasp for breath. Her case
became one of record in medical publi-
cations as the most extraordinary one
known of the return to life after so long
1a period of suspended animation. _ To
Mr. Benedict was given the chief credit
of the happy result and Dr. Griswold
rewarded him by the gift Of a valuable
gold watch and letter Of grateful thanks
for his successful efforts. The restored
daughter, now the wife of an Episcopal
clergyman in: California, has also kept
up a continued cOrrespondence with
her aged'friend and only a few months
since he Showed us a letter received
from her which was full of grateful
thanks to her friend and behefactor.

For a long time past, Mr. Benedict
had been In feeble health, yet was up
to a very late date, a familiar personage
about our city. He leaves a wife and
two children.
