 Midnight.
 Late yesterday afternoon it was noised about that the jury were to have secret session, but when no one would tell. Acting Grand Juror Bush was reticent about the matter, and all that Acting Coroner Bolmann would say was that he thought of taking a trip to Milford It soon became evident that the place of meeting was intended to be kept secret, and notwithstanding the most earnest inquiries nothing could be ascertained. It soon became known that Blanche Doug lass had agreed to make full confession and was to be summoned before the jury. After awhile it leaked out that the meeting was to be held at the house of Sheriff Peck, where the Douglass woman was confined. Among the score of newspaper men who were down on the shore awaiting developments this news spread like wiIdfre, and raid, as it were, was made upon Sheriff Peck's residence on Washington avenue, West Haven, by the newspaper men. Sheriff Peek and his assistant, Walter Travers, who weighs over two hundred pounds, was on duty and in formed visitors that their room was more de- sirable than their company. Although tIsy

Genera1 she1man,. vtsIt.

The visit of General Sherman and the Governors of the New England States. at the New England fair at Worcester, will oc- cur on Wednesday, September 7, which will be the great day of the fair The General will be received by an imposing military pa rade. The civic procession has not yet been arranged, as by an unfortunate oversight the Worcester city council adjourned for the summer vacation without extending to the distinguished visitor the hospitality of the city. This neglect will doubtless be rectifed in time, so that no lack of respect on the part of the municipal government will be shown towards the General and his party. It will be remembered that General Sherman has accepted the invitation to be present at the Groton centennial celebration He will be in New London on Tuesday, the 9th of September, and will leave for Worcester the day following.
