A Journalists Misfortune.

NORWICH, Conn, July 13-One of the
best known newspaper editors in this part of
the State, Everett c. Stone, formerly of the
Putnam Patriot, a son of J. A. Stone, of the
Danielsonyille Transcript, has created SEN
sation by mysterious absence from his
home in Worcester, Mass, where he was en-
gagged in the publishing business It was
supposed that something was wrong with his
finances and he had left large debts, but it
has been learned that he is possibly hope
lessly demented. He was absent five days.
and returned of his own will on Friday in a
bad plight. He could give no account of his
wanderings. Mr.. Stone is forty-two years
old. Some time ago he lost child, and still
later the Patriot Office was burned after he
had bargained for its sale, but before he had
transferred it. This recent financial pressure
affected his mind He is now more rational.

The thunder storm late Saturday afternoon
and in the evening was productive of some
heavy booms of heavens artillery hereabouts.
Several of the thunder claps caused general
remark and comment about the city, being
unusually heavy. During the shower and
between the hours of 8 and 8 o'clock the
house of Harry F. O'Brien on Poplar street,
Fair Haven, was struck by lightning The
bolt struck the roof in the rear and made
considerable havoc. The women in the house
were greatly frightened, and ran out doors in
the rain. Mr.. O'Brien is a prominent For
ester and well known blacksmith.
The storm also made much havoc with the
telegraph poles On the line of the Consoli-
dated railroad many were Frustrated. Be
tween Port Chester and Rye several were
thrown down across the tracks and block

The Skeleton Found in TrumbuH Sent
from the Dfssecting Table.
The finding of the skeleton of a woman in

by sportsmen, on June 8, was pronounced by
the town officials to be a mystery that would

DR. Thomas Reid, of Norwood, N. j., said
Saturday to a reporter that the bones were at
one time owned by himself, being those of a
subject dissected by him while at the New
York University Medical college eight years
ago. He practised medicine in Trumbull and
lived in Nichols. When he left the bones
were wrapped in paper and placed in a pine
box in his study. J. E. Palmer, who is DR..

used as an Office and study, and when it
was sold to man from New York the bones

The Nominations,
New Haven and the Candidates-LOca
Talk About the Candidates.


Talk About the Candidates.
The Democratic nominations seem to
please the Democracy, and local politicians
are quite satisfied that they have chance of
beating the Republicans. The talk about
town is hopeful, but Democrats own to being
''little afraid" of John Kelly. They, how
ever, cite Puck on the subject, as giving
them encouragement Prominent Democrats
avow that the time has come to bury John
Kelly, and assert that Kelly must go. They
say that Grover Cleveland 'Fsat down upon
John Kelly, and think that Kelly cannot re-
turn Cleveland the favor. By the way, New
Haven gets considerable notice incidentally
in this campaign. Gov. Hoadley, of Ohio,
who was talked of in the convention for the
nomination of President, was born in New
Haven, and his father was long leading
man here. The Governor don't recollect
personally much about New Haven, as his
parents removed to Ohio when he was four
years old Then Gov. Clevelands great
grandfather was Aaron Cleveland, who was
native of Norwich, Conn. land it is said of him
as follows: ''He was the first writer in this
State to call in question the legality of sla-
very, writing poems and essays against it,
denouncing it from the public platform and
in 1879 while a member of the Legislature,
introducing bill against it. He became a
Congregational minister and died in New
Haven in 1916. Richard Cleveland, the
father was born in Norwich in 1904, and was
graduate of Yale college. He taught
school in Baltimore and spent some months
at Princeton, and in 1928 was or
dained a Presbyterian clergyman" Ex-
Governor English was in the House when
Mr.. Hendricks was in the Senate and speaks
of him highly, as a man of high character and
an able leader.
Mr.. S. Harrison Wagner speaks highly of
the candidates, and when living in Washing
ton formed the acquaintance of Thurman,
Hendricks and various others of the Demo
cratic leaders.

A Big Crow Story.

Charles Fogg, merchant of Waterbury.
lives on his father-in-law's farm few miles
out of the city. A story is told of whole
sale slaughter of crows on that farm which is
good if true. There is twenty acre corn
field on the place, which has been fairly COW
cred by hungry crows for some weeks The
field is SO large that by the time a gunner
scares the birds off of one end the other is
well covered.
Mr.. Fogg's father-in-law had about given
up the crop, when the hired boy came to the
rescue. He had read that crows, or any
bird, could be stupefed by the use of alco-
hol. He had no alcohol, but he stepped a
peck of corn in gallon of the hardest cider
in the cellar. To this he added two-ounce
bottle of laudanum, and then he scattered
the corn in the cornfeld.
The crows held aloof from the free lunch
for several days, and the boy forgot all about
it. But the other day as Mr.. Fogg was driving
to town he noticed crowd of crows over the
field trying to fly and keeping up a deafen-
ing cawtng. He called the help. and thew
rushed into the field and captured and killed
276 crows, which were lying on the ground
helplessly drunk.
