Two Precious Roeues tnLtmbo.

The residence of E. J. Billings, milkman, near Vernon Center, was entered by burg lar Wednesday night. About $75 in money, silver watch and chain and check for $2O signed by Judge Dwight Loomis, were the proceeds of the robbery. Two brothers, Henry and Cortland Hauerwaus, claiming a residence in Hartford, but said to belong in West Hartford, have been for the past five or six years well, though not favorably, known to the police. Cortland was sentenced to six months in the county jail on the 3d of Janu- ary last for theft and forgery. He was still in jail Thursday morning, serving out his costs, when his brother Henry made his ap- pearance apparently well provided with funds, and paid the balance due. Cortland was re- leased, and the pair proceeded to have 8 "good time" They first purchased some new clothes and then began the rounds of the saloons. They were finally arrested for creating disturbance in Trumbull street saloon. They had been trying to pass 8 check, but had evidently abandoned the at- tempt, as the check had been torn up. In Henry's pocket, however, was found small piece of paper, on which was written Dwight Loo" and twenty" On his person were also found $29. 50 in money, revolver and a watch chain. Although none of the stolen property was found in the possession of the other brother, it was stated at the police station that he endeavored to dispose of the watch in Parkville, and he was held as an accomplice They were taken to Rockville yes- terday morning by Sheriff Corbin. Henry gave his age as 27, occupation, locksmith Cort- land, 26 occupation, tinker. The Courant says the arrest of Henry is very important one, inasmuch as there is a strong probabili- ty that he may have been concerned in the recent outrages in West Hartford. He was once under arrest for rape. He certainly showed little of the instincts of profes- sional thief in so openly disposing of the stolen property.

People are much more likely to buy pie lures and other articles of household decora- tion in the cooler season than in the heat of summer. Recognizing this fact and guided by my experience of last year, I wish to make it for the interest of many buyers to take advantage of the special inducements I am now offering. I am selling my framed pictures, easels, cabinets and my elegant brass, glass, China and porcelain brio a-brac at 20 per cent discount. Take few exam pies and see how it works. The elegant and popular engraving, 'tJersey," worth $50, sells at $24. The magnificent colored photo graph, ''Othello," elegantly framed, is worth $85 the 20 per cent. discount brings it down to $6S. A fine ebony cabinet worth $11O figures at $S9. Elegant vases worth $2o figure at $16. Our citizens who are staying at home this summer will do well to visit Cutters Art store and avail themselves of these opportunities.
 Very respectfully,

Not NInry shepard, <,

Until yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the police authorities were confident that the woman found dead in the water near Long Wharf on Wednesday afternoon was Mary Shepard. About that hour Mary walked into the central police station and infor med the officer in charge that she was not dead, as reported in the papers. Clerk Mcbride who was present, was completely astounded at the woman's appearance, as he was very positive that the body of the dead woman was that of Mary Shepard, as was also Officer Ahegn. It was a case of mistaken identity
 Cofoner Bollman has, since it became known that Mary Shepard is alive, ordered that all the clothes of the drowned woman be saved for future identification. After Mary Shepard was in the police office she went to the almshouse, thinking she might be able to identify the body. It was thought by many that the dead woman was Mary's sister At the almshouse Mary could not throw any light on the dead woman's identity. At 5:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon the remains were buried by the town.

Planting at the Grave of Tom Thumb.
 HAr Husband.

At the Bridgeport cemetery Thursday, where the last exercises in connection with the "Tom Thumb" funeral occurred, Mrs. Stratton was lifted from the carriage when it reached the grave at 4oclock She was too weak to stand and cushion was brought from the carriage and laid on the ground at the edge of the grave. The little widow sat upon it supported by her mother and moth er-in-law. The other relatives gathered near by. The ceremonies lasted more than half an hour. Mrs. Stratton became more and more agitated as they proceeded, and just as Prelate Dutton dropped the floral Masonic emblem into the grave, and. the Knights crossed their swords and began to chant the closing hymn, her little figure shook for a moment with strong emotion, and she fell back senseless into the arms of her mother. There were cries of pity from the crowd that looked on, and hundreds of women watched with anxiety the efforts to revive the little woman. She was taken to her carriage and removed to the residence of MT. W. R. Hig. by, reviving while on the way. She will probably remain at MT. Higby's day or two.
