The stratford Mystery.
Stratford Tired Of the Fra1tless Quest
 TaIIz and SnscuIation.

Stratford Tired Of the FrW1tless Quest
 Talk and Speculation.
 The situation of affairs regarding the Strat- ford murder, or the mystery" of the death of poor Rose Clark Ambler, whose remains quietly ropose in the. Union cemetery in that town, remains unchanged. To-day it is one of the greatest mysteries Connecticut officials were ever connected with and it seems now that justice will be defeated and Stratford's second murder mystery will, like the first one, never be solved. In the streets of the town people pass along the same as before the sad affair happened, and they are all wea- ried out with not only asking, but answering questions. There is quite 8 large number who have settled to their own belief as to how Rose Clark Amber came to her death, and at whose hands. while on the other hand there are inst as many involved in doubt about it as there ever were. A deep desire prevails that the mystery should be cleared up. De- teetives Bibbins Wood and Arnold are con- tinually at work upon the case and if they have discovered any new clues they say they intend to keep it to themselves, as they have come to the conclusion that they have given away too much valuable information 
 | boarding place very near the spot where Rose's body was found, and as his movements are not of 8 kind to attract attention by their boldness, 1t is to be hoped he may be study ing out trail which will lead direct ere long | to the perpetrator. Grand Juror William H. Crawford has taken no steps as yet to accommodate William Lewis in his | desire to be arrested. Nor does he venture i an opinion as to his probable action in that 1 direction. It is 8 well known fact that Lewis 1 is very cute and his desire to be tried is at- 1 tributed by some to bold move for effect. | Certainly if tried now he would be acquitted in all probability. Lewis has many friends l who maintain a strong friendliness toward him and look upon him as 8 needlessly perse- cuted man whom they assert has been put into a bad position by the action of the late jury of inquest. They say that Lewis will surely bring a suit ere long against the Rev. MT. Houghton of this city for islander and that he | is only dsferrinR the matter by advice of his counsel to see what action will be taken by State Attorney Fsssenden or Grand Juror William H. Crawford in regard to the verdict
 which was returned by the late jury of in l

An Elephant at Home.


 began to think my days journey was to be deliciously tranquil. forgetting that in Africa agreeable anticipations are rarely real ized. Toward noon clouds began to collect in the east, from which quarter the rain al- ways seems to come in this part of the Congo region. The wind was certainly blowing from the opposite direction but this had little effect on the approaching storm, now fast covering the heavens with a blue-black pail, for storms in Africa are too imperious to care for the direction of the prevailing wind. They carry with them in their black bosoms hurricane of their own that goes before them in awful gusts and belIowings and utterly siIences the timid breeze which was feebIy keeping back the rain. So, when the eye of the storm, whirlinR mass of gray cloud round purple center, rose before us, we prudently put into the bank, tied the canoes to some stout trees and then resign edly bent our heads to the tempest that roared over us.
 The storm was finished in brief half. hour, but not so the rain, which dripped and dripped necessarily, yet was too impatient to delay any further for this, and made the men take to their paddles once more. In spite of the wet weather we achieved consid- erable progress. At about half-past VIC were coasting beside a very long and large island in search of camping place, when I saw, not ten yards of, a large elephant, with moderate sized tusks, standing among the

We stayed and watched the mighty beast some five minutes, he not taking the least notice. His color told out quite grayish white (the ridge of his backbone was par ticularly light in tone) against the foliage, and the whole effect of the grouping made very pretty composition. We heard other elephants in the interior of the island, break ing down trees and branches, and, curiously enough, round this solitary creature on the beach were several graceful Borassus palms laid low, torn down by the voracious ele- phant for the sake of their round, yellow fruit, of which he is so ravenously fond. That troop of elephants must have reached the island by swimming, as even in the dry season there is water between it and the n1ainland-a broad channel, in fact The islet is of some magnitude, and is covered with over thousand palm trees I think Stanley has called it Fiamin Island. after an Italian engineer formerly in the expedition. We landed short distance from the place where had seen the elephant, and camped out for the night on 8 very small space of sand, which was unfortunately all on a slant, so that during the night 1 was constantly gliding of my bed feet foremost

The following Superior court cases were nolled by State Attorney Doolittls on Satur day:

 In the City court Saturday morning Ann Richardson, one of the females found in James Lynch's saloon at the recent raid, was fined $7 and costs for being common pros- titute. When sentenced she impudently thanked Judge Deming for the fine imposed, and for this was sent to jail for fifteen days for contempt of court.

The bonds not being forthcoming, Stokes, who is about thirty years old, went to jail.
 In the City court on Saturday Daniel F. Jones, of Hartford, was tried on the com plaint of his wife charging him with neglect of his family. The parties have once been divorced land remarried and again separated. The wife claimed that she left her husband on account of ill treatment and that he had done nothing for the support of herself and their child since. After the evidence on both sides, which was quite contradictory, the court continued the case for two weeks in order to give the prosecution an opportunity to prove the charges or the defence to refpte them.
