Andersen,

Some little stir was Raede in Cheshire Sun day over report which rapidly spread in the town that Andersen had been seen skulkine in the woods. Henry L. Bristol, the George street livery stable proprietor, reported to Chief of Police Webster of this city, yester day morning, that he had learned that sus- picious looking man answering to Andersen's description was said to be roaming about in Cheshire. MT. Bristol has brother living in Cheshire, and while visiting him on Sun day heard the report. MT. Bristol said that early Sunday morning strange man appear ed at tho home of Farmer Thomas Hull, who lives about two miles this side of Cheshire centre. The family were beginning to get ready to go to church. Mir. Hulps daughter and wife were the only occupants of the house at the time. When the knock came at the back deor the daughter answered 1t and she saw quite a repulsive looking man there. He wore long light-colored overcoat, and was short, thick set man. He was quite pale. This is about the extent of the de- seription she could give of the man. When she saw who was there she did not like his looks and tried to shut the door in his face. The man pushed the door open, showed the girl one side and walked into the dining room, where he seated himself. Then he in sisted on having something to eat, which they gave him, and while he was in the room he began to talk about fire in Ansonia. The daughter and mother were very much fright ened all this while. Finally the father came in, and as they were preparing meal for the latter the stranger insisted on having some thing more to eat. It was given to him, aud they said he ate as much as two could the second time. As the mans stay was growing monotonous and as the family wanted to go to church. Mir. Hull told the intruder it was time to move on. The stranger only settled himself more firmly in his chair and began to read newspaper. He did not make an offer to go. The daughter and mother departed for services, leaving the father as 8 compan- ion to the man, who would not get out.
 The man hung on some time, until finally he left on hearing that he would be arrested if he did not bestir himself. The man acted very much as if insane. Others saw him, but none associated him in their minds as Ander-
 
 Mt. Carmel stage here questioned the driver concerning the report. The driver said he was carrying stage load of Masons to 6 Masonic funeral in Cheshire Sunday, land when we were about three miles this side of Cheshire Center, man was lying up on the roadside about three rods from the road. I asked the occupants of the stage, pointing to the man, if that was the man they were go- ing to sbury. Someone shouted wake up' and the man jumped up like fash He stood up and watched us until the stage was out of sight, The man had on 8 ight-coIored over- coat. It was shabby looking and his hat was black stiff looking Derby. His face was badly sunburned. and I think he had & little goatee, light moustache and small side whiskers. Neither was very heavy. I think he was thirty-fve years old" Mir. Gaines added that he never saw more frightened looking man in his life after they had shout ed at him.
 Frau Von Hitler writes in the Sunday Globe as follows: "Having been saved from hanging, it became question to know what to do with him. Possessed of super natural cunning and tigerish ferocity. all though small, pale-faced fellow, weighing perhaps 125 pounds, he struck such terror to the hearts of the prison officers that they gave up trying to manage him, and he re- mained some months in dark cell, from which he was at last only persuaded to come by means of red hot hoop of iron on the end of a rod, which was dropped over his head About this time 1t occurred to some one that he must be insane, and that Middle town was the proper place for him.
 Accordingly, with four keepers, two of whom were chained to him, he was carried to the State insane hospital. The supervisor received him without tremor, and unlock ing his manacles, to the consternation of his relieved keepers, placed hand kindly on his shoulder and said: Now, Andersen, be 8 man; stop this nonsense and you will be treated like human being Since his ar rival at Middletown his conduct has generally been good, with occasional relapses into ugli ness, but he has discretion enough to respect his keeper.'
 THE LATEST.
 The latest concerning Andersen is that there seems to be some reason to suppose that he is lurking in the woods in the vicini- ty of Middletown, and that there is pross pect that ere long he will be captured.
