The Hon. Amos S. Treat, of Bridgeport,
died at his home in that city Friday. The
deceased was quite a prominent lawyer.
In politics Mr. Treat was a staunch re-
pubiican and represented Woodbridgc in
1872, and'Bridgeport' 1n 1879'1u the legis-
lature, being in 1872 the speaker. His
funeral was attended at his late residence

Rev. James M. Taylor,‘the new presi-
dent of Vassar college, is pictured by
Harper’s Weekly as a handsome young
man with “a love of a mustache.” If the
girls had had their own choice they
couldn’t have found a man of sweeter face
or character, or purer or. nobier character.
It’s a great thing to have gone out from
old Norwalk:
A huge eel was taken out of the fire .
hydrant in front of F. W. Jaqui's store on
Wall st.Saturday. It was over two inches
in diameter and measured four feet in
length. It was so thick that it had to be
cut up in sections and taken out on the in.
stallment plan. It is supposed to have got-
ten through the screen into the pipes when
it was not much bigger than a horse hair,
and its years of confinement in the mains
had made it' stone blind.
Says the Standard of one who has be-
come a familiar. figure in musical circle-IV
in Norwalk: “There s‘eemio'be no-busier-
man in Bridgeport than Mr. A.J. Wilkins.
Besides attending to a large list of pupils
in vocal music he has the training of several
church choirs in and out of the city, and
he has shown himself to be a capable
manager of concerts and recitals. He is
so well-known to musical artists in New
York and elsewhere that he has constant
applications for engagements.”

and severe injury to the left propeller of
one of the riders—a son of Draggist Vegel.

In all the churches on Sunday there
were floral decorations andsermons .apJ.‘
propriato to Easter day. Special collec-
tions were taken: up in St. Mary’s church
for educational purposes. Rev. Mr. A11-
' derson, at the First Congregational church
- preached to the children in the forenoon,
and the floral display was extensive and
magnificent. Mrs. Huntington sang sev-
eral solos, both in the morning and-even-
ing. Fine music and flowers were an .at
\ tractive feature at .St. Paul's, and ill-the
Methodist church the exhibit .was fullynp
the usual high standard. 'The Baptists
were not behind in any feature.
Joseph M. Potter, who died on Tuesday,
was buried with Masonic honors on Fri-
day, thc interment taking place in Dan-
bury, whither a'number of_brethren of St.
John’s Lodge, F. and A. M., accompanied
the remains. Mr. Potterfwas taken sick
in Washington a;few daysfprevious to his
death, while on his return home from
Florida, 11nd,",contrary to the wishes of
friends he insisted on returning to_ Nor-
walk while he was really unable to travel.
The return probably hastened his death
for he died of pneumonia 11. week after
reaching home. He was 63' years old.
The funeral was held on Camp street,
Rev. Anderson ofiiciating. ‘
Says the Sentinel: For some time
George Harvey has heard suspicious
sounds about his house during the night.
Last Sunday, shortly after 12 o’clock, he
heard sounds at one of the- windows.
\ Arming himself with a revolver Mr. HST-7. ,
vey went to the window and drew back
the curtain and discovered a man in the-
attempt ,to raise the window. George
blazed away; at him through the window,
but missed his mark, the man making 01!
toward the barn. George fired. another
shot, but the man escaped. The next day
George was showing .a friend how the
, occurrence took. place, when he acoldently
discharged the pistol ,and brokeja valuable
looking glass. If he had hit the burglar
George would not care forjthe damage to
either window or glass, but if hthas an-
other chancc he thinks he will hit the
burglar.
The present position of the claim of the
, state against the Consolidated road 13 that
State Treasurer Chamberlain has caused
his counsel to formulate the claim of the
state, which is that certain. deductions
made by the railroad company in its re-
turns for taxation are now allowable, and
that taxes deducted on that basis should
be made good. The company made the
returns under a construction of law which
it is disposed to maintain as good. It is
probable that there will be an agreement
for a finding of facts and then a speedy
- trial of the question of law in the Supreme
Court, at the May session here if possible,
Or, if not, at the J one session in New
Haven. Finalarrangement on the subject
has been postpdncd .until thefireturn of
Mr. Watrous. The report of the legisla.

generally considered the best form, with
a distinct declaimer of any charge of frau-
dulent intent and a recommendation that

Young ICole runs a meat route which
until recently was owned and run by Albert
Sturges of Cannons. When Sturges became
a’veterinsry. surgeon he turned his route'
over to Frank Cole and the latter has been .
carrying on the business ever since. His
headquarters were at Mr. Sturges’ house
where he roomed and toOk his meals.
His‘father’s house was justacross the riv-
er but Frank preferredVVVto livveithI the
Sturges so as to be nearer to hisbusincss.
As stated lathe notice givenrabove he was
to have been married tO-morrow to Miss
Emily Randell of Norwalk. He hlid made
Vail preparations for the event, had even
purchased the wedding ring, and on
Wednesday evening last he drove down
to see the lady. He was then wery cheer-
.fuIl and talked joyfully of therapproaching
event. .Hc drove back to Cannons that
night and the following ‘day did his work
as usual. In the afternoon he was missing,
the last seen of him being between 3 and 4
o’clock. Nothing was thought of his ab-
sence until Friday afternoon- when'scarch-
ing parties were organized and the adja-
cent country was scoured' in vain for traeeu
of him. The mill pond was dragged bu
in spite of the earnest search of his rela
tives and friends no .mice or tidings of
him have since been found.-V > "
Mr. Cole is a relative :of Messrs Ira and
Lester Cole of Norwalk, and when no tid-
ings of the missing one were received
these gentleman on Sunday ,. waited on
Sheriff Swartz and requested the assist-
ance of th1 state in the matter. The
Sherifi’ immediately consulted with the

of the case. But as it was at 'that, time it
was clearly the duty of the Wilton select-
men to bear the expense of getting the
detective whose pay would be but $8.00
per day and expenses.
Monday afternoon Sherifi Swartz,accom-
panied by Deputy Dann and the Gums
reporter went to Cannons and held an in-
uniry in the case. . The selectinen were .
consulted and after considerable hesita-
tion it was agreed that the town should-
furnish S50 and the friends of Cole S50

special town meeting has been called for

that a further sum will be appropriated.

This would seem to efiectually do away
with the theory that Cole ran away, as he
would in such case have taken the money
with him. Besides his best clothes hung
on a nail in‘anOther corner,V’and when last
seen Cole had on his old and soiled work-
ing clothes. A number of love letters
read as the dates were not recent. The
queer part of the affair was that no letters
or papers were discovered bearing a data
later than March 15, with one exception.
This wasa copy of a letter dated April 13, -
written to his step-sister in Danbury, in-‘
vitlng her to his wedding and speaking
brightly of ‘the future. His books were
not balanced, and no letters or papers of
importance were found in his clothing.

pairs of cuffs with cuff buttons, and nu-
merous articles of clothing. Sheriff .

then listened to Mrs. Sturges’ story. It
was substantially as told above, only more
clear and full.
_ There was a disreputable and itinerant
farm hand named Ben Rowe who worked
for the Sturges at times. This party left
them on Tuesday so Mr, Sturges said _and
did not return until Thursday night seme-
'time when he immediately went to the ,
barn and slept in the- bay. The next
Vmorning he ploughed the garden just back

~until Saturday when he left promising to
come back Monday. He did not come and"

stated that Cole's great-grandfather
and grandfather were both insane and she
was inclined to think Frank bad a touch
of the insanity and; wandered 'chf. The
relatives however deny that' .any insanity
was ever manifest in the family.

Frank said he would slaughter no more

The whole afi’air is very- mysterious and

what is to be done it is _not thought best
‘to state" Since the finding of the money
in Cole's desk the opinion seems to be
gaining ground that he was murdered.
Plenty of absurd stories are in circula-
tiOn. One is that Cole was engaged to
another young lady. This and other sto-
ries were thoroughly investigated byV bur
reporter and found to be untrue in. every
particular. Itis certain that Frank Cole
was a young man of exemplary character.
He was honest and frank and had no ene-
mics. He was deeply attached to the lady
of his choice and had made every - prepa-
ration for the approaching marriage.
What cause or motive for his murder, if
he be dead, any one could have, is hard to
tell, unless it be that the cupidity of some
wretchwas aroused at the knowledge that
Cole had about $300 on his person. .
The'young lady to whom he was to
have been married tomorrow, is prostrat-
ed with grief. She, too, had made every
preparation for the wedding and parted

A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
' Hood’s SarSaparilla
“ In the winter of 1879 I was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time I had no less than thirteen large
abscesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was induced
to try Hood’s Sarsapariila. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all
disea peered, except the unsightly scars,whieh
ally becomin ‘smaller by de ees, and
beautifu ly less.’ do not know w at it may
have done for others, but I do know that in
mryca ’s Sarsaparilla has proved an
e yective specific indeed. As an evidence of
zoIiuydamgra tidtu e I send these facts unsolicited.
