tectives are after me. Here they come, they
come" His cousin said he was little excited,
but says he was rational. He mumbled and
laughed through the night, and detectives
seemed always present to carry him away.
His relatives were summoned by the mid
night train to Stratford. State-detectives
Wood and Arnold will not give any facts in
the clew they are working, which, if success
full, will put William Lewis, Rose Ambler's
lover in Jail. The detectives ideas are that
Lewis went to bed on the night of
the murder at 8 o'clock, got up again,
and followed Rose to Raven Stream, and
there killed her, believing her unfaithful.
Detective Fredericks yesterday asked the

Uses to pan out better than any they have yet
struck. They decline to say what it is, but
it is understood that they are in pursuit of
an unknown negro, and that they have traced
him as far as New Haven, where officers are
now searching for him. The facts in this
last development are these: About 11:30
o'clock ON the night of the murder afreisht
train of the New York, New Haven IL Har-
lem railroad stopped at Naugatuck
Junction, a place about mile
from where the crime was committed When
the train arrived at New Haven one of the
brakemen walked to the rear, and clinging to
the end of the caboose he found a man. He
flashed his lantern in his face and saw that it
was big burly negro. He had a bandage
tied about his head, and his face was covered
with blood. He started back in evident
alright, and stammered out: "Is this New
Haven, boss?" Upon receiving an affirma-
tive reply, he said: WAS there fire or
anything queer at Stratford to-night?' The
brakeman said that he did not know, and
then he turned his head for an instant.
When he looked around the negro had disap-
peared in the darkness, and the brakeman
could hear the rapid patter of his feet as he
ran up the railroad track. 1t is now be-
lieved by the detectives that this negro COM
mitted the crime.

DURING last year there were 1881 deaths
in New York city and only q, 1921 births, an
excess of deaths of 10630. or nearly 81 per
cent. These figures are often used to prove
that but for immigration the city would
speedily retrograde in population. 1t is i'm
migration that produces the unfavorable
comparison. Of the immigrants who lodge
in New York majority are adults, many
we'll advanced in years, and their chance of
life is greatly reduced, The death rate is
greatly increased by this influx of adults,
and it is no fair comparison to hold up the
number of deaths among all classes against
the number of births. Were statistics at
hand showing the number of deaths and
births among people born in the city the
comparison would probably be not unfavor-
able.

spouse came in low tones from somewhere
among fifty Jurors sitting three Deep to-day,
in the new courthouse. All the jurors ex-

into attitudes expressive of the HVelieSt in

staring around inquiringly in the direction
of the voice, and fixed theireyes at last upon

Speaker had been invited as a member
of the bar to take a seat in the space re-
served for lawyers He declined, however,
and said that he preferred to sit with his
fellow-jurors. The roll having been COM
pleted, half dozen OF the panel had Judge
Hare excuse them from service, so that
they might attend to private affairs that
they protested could not be neglected. The
mind of the congressman, however had
been made up days ago, and he remained
firmly planted in the seat of duty. When
everything had been arranged District
Attorney Graham walked over to him and
smilingly said: "Well, Mr.. Speaker, I see
that we are to have the honor of your
service"

up with an effort, and rising to grasp

as the town hall was yesterday filled with

der The man who is supposed to be the
murderer, L. s. Curtis, lives in a house on
Main street owned by Mr.. Samuel Benja-
min, who lives there with his daughter
Miss Eva Benjamin, Mr.. Curtis is a strange
man with a stranger history. He is of
large physique and good appearance,
and previous to coming to Stratford he
lived in the town of Milford, some
few miles distant. Every one knew him,
and it is said no one respected him. He is a
man of wealth, and his desires were bound
less. Detective Fredericks knew the history
of Curtis at Milford, and determined to
watch him at Stratford He knew also that
Curtis had been secretly divorced from his
wife in Phladel pha, and came to the con-
clusion that this man would have been the
person described by witness as the stylish
young stranger who walked with Rose along
the Oronoque road.
Yesterday detectives visited Mr. Benja-
minis house, and were shown into Curtis's
room. Near a closet a sachel was lying
which detective opened. He found hidden
away in it two ha dkerchiefs; one was small
and scented with cologne, but was black with
dirt In the corner were two small blood
stains. The other handkerchief was of red
color, and when held to the light two dark
patches were seen, which are suspected to
be clots of blood The sachel was emptied,
and every chest and drawer in the room was
ransacked but no more tell-tale blood spots
were found until the detectives opened the
door OF triangular alcove in the corner of
the room. At first glance nothing could
be seen, but the detectives searched the cor
ners, and brought to light three shirts. All
were dirty, and OH the left bottom of one
two blood stains stood out prominently.
The shoulders of the blood-stained shirt
were damp and the collar also. Next came
forth pair of rumpled but unsoiled cuffs
This was the only shirt bearing the marks of
perspiration. Four witnesses have sworn
that at about 10 o'clock the night Rose Clark
met her death heavy man rushed up the
Oronoque road. Running would produce
perspiration. The cuffs, the detectives say,
would be rumpled just as they are if man
attempted to lower man over the wall near
which Rose Clark was found.
Last night curious incident occurred.
Curtis went to his room, but was shortly af-
terward seized with a temporary fit of insani-
ty and was removed to his cousins house.

a duel with pistols was had between two cal

The arrangements for the meeting were

A NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL CONvEN-
TON

n
ton to the inconvenience, if not the danger,
OF some of the present limitations in our
national constitution. The question in
volved is one of much magnitude, and is
now attracting the attention of the wisest
and ablest of our statesmen. But the dis
cussion is taking still wider range, and
thoughtful men are debating the propriety
of an early national convention to remodel
that instrument. This convention can be
called on the application of two-thirds of
the several State legislatures. There would
certainly be great propriety in thorough
review of our fundamental law at the close
of the first century, now near at hand. We
need not be wanting in profound respect for
the fathers to say that they were not as we'll
qualified to judge of the best method to gov
ern hundred millions, scattered over a con-
tinent, while yet there were less than
four millions and these scattered up and
down the narrow strip east of the Alleghe-
MES, with not the remotest idea of the i'm
mense territory beyond, either as to its ex-
tent or its possibilities, with its teeming mil
lions. In still more important sense were
they not qualified to permanently fix the
come. They had just broken loose from

fearful struggle they were more familiar

hence incorporated many of its most objec-
tionable features, slightly modified into our
form, while sharply antagonizing other fea-
lures that are really less Objectionable. These
hundred years have developed many
political doctrine then but
little known, and the rights
of the common people have been asserted
and maintained as never before. 1t was inn
possible for men just from the shadow of
royalty to foresee all the demands OF really
| free people,
We do not propose to indicate all the mat
tiers urgently demanding overhauling and re-
adjusting Foremost of all is the provision
which relates to the election of President
We need not specify the difficulties and dan
gers of our present system. The machinery
now used is the furthest possible from that
intended, though it conforms to the letter of
the law. 1t is not likely that this will ever
be amended otherwise than by convention.
Then look at the vast power now exercised
by the various monopolies of the country,
Railroads and telegraphs and insurance COM
panies rob labor by the million for want of
constitutional power TO properly legislate
| in regard to them. And nothing more
needs reducing to the American idea
of justice than our judiciary system,
which was made to conform in part to the
British system, yet arbitrarily departing
from it at the very points most in the inter-
est of justice.
Let the press discuss this question and let
legislatures begin to call for convention so
that the new instrument may take the place
of the old at least as early as September
1887, one hundred years from the adoption
of the present constitution.
