A Fine Social Event 0t Peck's Grand
 Opera House.
 Peck's Grand Opera House presented brilliant scene last evening. when the St. Aloysius T. A. B. society with their friends gathered to hold their tenth annual soiree. The hall was finely decorated for the occa- sion, festoons of evergreens being suspended around the front of the gallery. The private boxes were covered with flags and embowered in evergreens, the one on the right side hav- ing the American flag, and facing it, over the opposite box, was the Ereen flag of Ireland. The grand march did not begin until ten o'clock, by which time nearly 150 couples were in the hall listening to several concert selections played by Landrigan's orchestra. The march was formed under the direction of Professor Flaherty, and was headed by Fran cis J. Reynolds, the grand conductor, and Miss Mary Ward. About 125 couples took l part in the march and they were reinforced by many others in the succeeding dances. A pumber of friends were present from Water l bury, Meriden, Bridgeport.

Others present from this city were ! the Misses Dolan, Miss Mostert, the Misses Campbell, Miss Minnie O'Briep, the Misses 1 Gunschon, the Misses McQueeney, Miss Roach and mahy others.

The Madison Murder.

Another Chapter in the Cnse-The Flight of Whipper.
 North Madison is excited over new reports in the murder case. John Whipper, one of the parties suspected of the murder of Johnson, has suddenly gathered up his effects and disappeared. The arrest of Whipper, it was stated, was impending, and when the ofic. CTS of the law sought for him they found that the bird had flown. Cornish, the Pinkerton detective, has been continually at work in North Madison for the month past, and Cor oner Bollman of this city and Sheriff West of Madison have been very busy of late in the town. It was not until early yesterday morning that the report that Whipper had run away became current. Then it was stated that the man who had worked and hired with the Johnsons for the past seven years, who had ''summered and wintered" with Eldredge Johnson, and who has steadily burned his charcoal pits and has roomed at the Johnsops' ever since the murder, had sold out the entire product of his last weeks burning of coal, pocketed the money and left the place. The de- tective knew that he was about to
 sell his coal, and so had prepared to snap ] him up before he could leave.
 Coroner BolIman on the other hand doubts if Whlpper has left and Is confident that the l man will reappear if he is not already back
 in the town.
 Beside the $20O reward offered by the
 town the family of the murdered man have | deeidasrto offer $eoel additional for the'nP-

Rebecca nTuIIen,s Fate.

In Bridgeport Saturday night Dr. J. R. Cummings was called to attend young wo- man named Rebecca Mullen, who died soon after his arrival. The Farmer says of the case: Deceased was about g years of age, and quite attractive in appearance; in fact, she might be called handsome by some per- sons. Her parents are respectable people in Norwalk. On the 18th of the present month she came to this city to act as househeeper for A. D. Batterson, who resided at the num- Der and street named above. She became acquainted with Patterson, who is in the em- ploy of the Consolidated road, some months ago. He is 8 married man, but has not lived with his wife lately. It is said that Patterson became very attentive, representing himself to be single man; be that as it may, he won
 her affections, called to see her often and fin-
 ally accomplished her ruin. Then he sug-
 gested that she leave home and live with him
 in this city, and she consented. It is ss- serted that her parents knew nothing of all this and that when she left home she repre-
 scented to them that she was about to visit a friend.
 "At first, all sorts of exaggerated rumors
 were bruitsd about poison was hinted at. AS Dr. Downs was unable, without an autop- l sy, to determine the cause of death, Batter son was taken into custody and held to await l the result. When it was shown that conges- l tion of the lungs was the cause he was re- leased. His wife will, it is declared, apply for divorce"
