A Thieves, Depot,

Lewis woods near New London, used to be famous resort for tramps and the case grew so bad that they were ralded again and again until the place lost it's at fractions for them. Of late it has begun to recover the character it then had, and now has again been raided with excellent results. The New London Day tells the story: Early this season suspicious characters were seen around there and the recent grocery store burglaries drew attention to them. Eugene Bell, whose place was robbed few nlghts ago, made a tour of the woods in company with friend Saturday and discovered 1n the midst of a ledge of rocks a regular thieves storehouse in which were slowed away canned goods of all kinds, tea suggar, coffee, cigars, tobacco, clothing and many other articles which have since been identified as the plunder taken from the stores of MT. Bell, w. W. Smith and Gurdon A. Lester. After this important find, MT. Bell went down to the round house and sent tele- phone message to the police station. This was answered by Officer Fitch, he being the only man on duty at the station house or within call. The officer went to the place indicated and, on taking look at the Hay of the land,' saw five objects of suspicion on
 
 fed looking fellows, but had that indescriba- ble air of EEne'er do weel'' about them which the thievish tramp, by providential pro vision has never been able to disguise. The five vagrants were standing near the railroad bridge, but when they perceived MT. Fitch making haste to get there only two lame ones were left, the three sound ones Hitting to parts as yet unknown. The officer hooked on to the two who were found resting in the bushes, and after decorating them with the bracelets, marched them to the lookup, where they await trial this morning and will undoubtedly be convicted as vagrants if the more serious charge of burglary cannot be substantiated by confession or circunl- stantial evidence. The three fugitives are probably the worst of the gang, each of them having graduated in high crimes and Instantaneous One of them, known as Shorty Johnson, is the burglar who was caught in Avery's man trap at Groton last year when he attempted to rob the store. Another is 'EFlashy" Luby, who is credited with the burglary of Tookey's grocery store some time ago, and the third, "Garroter" Mccarthy, has a highway robbery record. The two men in jail, Phillips and Wilson, are dark horses so far the police know, and if they keep their mouths shut it will not be easy to bring up weighty case against them Up to Sunday night they persisted in asserting their innocence of any act or part in the robberies.

About that hour, however, the tlarge bull cliques took hand in and bid the leading stocks up at vigorous rate, causing rush to buy the part of those who sold in the early dealings With the exception of fractional reaction at 123O n, prices continued to rise up to o'clock, when the highest prices of the day were touched. The advance ranged from A to 3A per cent, led by Denver and Union Pacific both of which were bid up at lively rate. During the greater part of the last hour of business there was free selling to realize the profit accruing from the advance and under the unloading prices reacted sharply.

Bar mum said he was Democrat, but the choice now was of principles, and in this respect the Republican nominees were the most trustworthy, and their platform the safest. With acquaintances all ove1 the civilized world, and with nearly as many friends in England as in America, he spoke confidently of the dangers that would ensue to American industry from a Democtat1c trl. umph. English manufacturing friends hao told him repeatedly that if protective tariff were removed they could and would shut uI all the large American workshops inside oi three months Free trade meant utter run to the manufacturer.

HOW TO CATCH FISH.

W
 The Recipe of q Disciple of old Isaak and what 1t Came To. Amono the many disciples of Isaak Walton who have resided in Hartford for the past | twontv wears, none have enjoyed such an en- viable reputation as "Old Abe" It has been reported that he could draw pail of water out of the faucet in the house, sit by the kitchen stove and catch larger string of fish than ordinary mortals could where there were thousands.
 He was daily visitor to Wethersheld cove and night after night 'fOld Abe" could be seen trudging along the avenue with his fishing pole upon his.shou1der and well filled basket in his hand All day long he. would sit ln one place hauling in fish, while the other fishermen would move from place to place without getting a bite and finally leave Ill disgust.
 It was whispered among the boys, and be- Iieved by some, that "Old Abe" had secret way of making the fish bite, and one day an amateur in Wethersfeld offered him 50 to disclose it. "Abe" told him to get about two dozen angle worms, place them Ill pot tie and put the bottle near the kitchen stove for about six weeks and then strain the ol! and when he went fishing to put a little of 1t on each hook. He got the worms ana after they had lain upon the shelf for three weeks his mother-in-law, who was near sighted, was dusting the shelf and knocked the bottle off It broke upon the hot stove and in two minutes the canary bird was dead and the family out of doors. A family of skunks left the cellar soon after and ran ln
 dazed condition under the barn. It was
 three days before the family could enter the Iorse, and teen haggard, w1d-eyed man started for Hartford with gun on his shoul-
 der and murder in his eye. We don't know whether he found ''Old Abe" or not, but it is certain that from that day to this his ia miliar figure has not been seen near Wethers- \ field coye.-Hartford Post.
