Case of Drowning.

A Woman Found Floating in Little
 Rfver-PrObabIe su1cIde-The Body
 Taken to Blair's.
 Yesterday afternoon about o'clock word was sent to the general police office from the Grand street precinct that the body of wo- man had been found floating in the creek or stream which branches off from Quinnipiac river above Fair Haven, and takes detour beyond Lewis bridge and near the North Haven shore Coroner Bollman was notified from the general office, and with Dr. Spreng- CT at once started to investigate the cause of death. On reaching the point which is known as Little river the body of woman was found on the bank of the stream, where 1t had been taken by parties who found it floating face downward in the river. The first person to discover the body was young man named John Edward Dunn, whose par ents live about two hundred yards from the little bridge. He notified the officers at the Grand street precinct and an investigation followed When Coroner Bollman arrived at the place where the body was found quite 6 number of people had gathered, but none could identify the body. The woman was , grey dress trimmed with blue, blue stockings and button shoes. On the third finger of the left hand was plain gold ring which on being removed disclosed the initials M. M. On the third finger of the right hand were two rings, one being chased and the other containing an ame- thyst ;stone. In the ears of the dead woman were rings containing in the center what seemed to be pearls. Her corset was drab embroidered with blue. After hearing the Statement of those who-found the body, the coroner ordered 1t taken to the general po- lice office, and subsequently, under instruc- tions from MT. Geary, of the town agents office, ordered the body removed to the Messrs. Blairs' undertaking establishment on Orange street Dr. Bellosa was requested to view the body and he did so. He the body of Mary Miller, whose hus- band obtained 8 divorce from her 8 few weeks ago on the ground of misconduct. The late husband is supposed to be John N Mil Ter who is now living in North Haven and who formerly kept bakery on Congress avenue. Coroner Bollman is of the opinion that the woman committed suicide. It was stated last evening that the woman has re- gently boarded with 8 man by the name of Jost on Hamilton street.
 Coroner Bollman in looking over the dead woman's effects at the house of John Holnis on St. John street, between Hamilton and Wallace streets, where she has stopped late ly, found 8 bank book for $50 at the Connecticut Savings bank and also letter in which she bids all her friends good bye.

Public Anniversary Exercises Tomorrow
 Evening at Center Church
 The anniversary exercises of the Conn. Bible society will be held in the Center church in this city at half-past seven o'clock to-mor- row (sunday) evening. The secretary will briefly explain the work of the society and Rev. Burdett Hart, Prof. Cyrus Northrop and Rev. Dr. Newman Snyth will address the meeting.
 With the exception of the City society of Philadelphia, formed the previous year, this State society. organized in May, 1909, is the oldest Bible society on this continent. In it's early history it has done a very important work in publishing and supplying Bibles on what was then our western frontier and in foreign lands. It expended thousands of dollars in pioneer work of printing the Bible in China. In 1916 it sent delegates to the convention which organized the American Bible society and subsequently, by special contract became it's auxiliary, which relation it still sustains.
 Five years ago the American Bible society, which had been accustomed to maintain su- perintendent in this field, remanded the care of whatever needed to be done to it's auxil- iaries, and this action called the old State so- ciety, which for many years had been very limited in it's operations, into the field, and since that time it has been prosecuting and developing very peculiar and important Bi ble work It has carefully explored about three-fourths of the State. It has recently visited that portion of this city known as tics of it's work, illustrating it's adaptabIlty to reach the non-church going population, and success in it, will be brought out at the anniversary exercises.

A We'll Rounded Life.

In the busy whirl of passing events, and personalities commanding attention, we give but little heed to the passing away of the aged ones among us, who, with no ambition to draw the public gaze, or to be other than the sturdy yeomen they were, have in reai- ty for nearly century been the very bone and sinew of the land. We forget, or rather we do not stop to think, that even as private citizens, by the conscientious uprightness of their precept and example in home life they have unconsoiously done more than all other influences combined to render possible the intellectual activity and the stur- dy manliness characteristic of the New Eng land of to day. A man of this class, and a typical one, was James Willard, of Madison, whose death on Tuesday of the present week at the age of ninety years and whose burial on Thursday were duly recorded. He was g man of unswerving integrity and was held in high regard by all who knew him. From the lished, and to which he was content to give his life and it's energies, there went out goodly number of sons and daughters fittingly trained for the worlds work. Among these was Captain Samuel F. Willard, late of the 14th c. ", killed at the battle of Antietam. Those who survive are Mrs. Sophia w. Bradley of Madison, John A. Willard, prosperous farmer of the same town, the Rev. James l.. Willard, for twenty nine years the settled pastor of the Congrega tional church in Westville, and E. N. Willard, Esq. lawyer of high standing in Scran- ton, Pa.

The Fair.

A correspondent says The severa lodges of Odd Fellows in this city uniting in holding the grand fair now in successful progress at Pecks Grand Opera House seem to be highly favored by ahe generous public. Many rich and valuable presents have been received by the several lodges interested in the fair, but the Montowese lodge seems to have been especially favored. In addition to several valuable presents from some of our merchants and manufecturers they have now received from Messrs. Moore and Good rich, two enterprising young men belonging to the firm of the N. H. Car Trim ming company, beautiful French clock of unique design and perfect finish. Judging from the crowd gath cred around this beautiful clock last evening and the apparent interest taken in it, there can be no doubt but the fair will derive a large amount of money from it's sale. Who ever may become the final owner will have beautiful memento of both the fair and the gentlemen who presented it. Time will de- velop who the fortunate possessor shall be.
