Further Light on The Sad Death q
Charles Il. Shelley.

Further Light ON The Sad Death of
Charles e. Shelley.
Redfeld & Co. hauled their shad pound
for the first time this season on Thursday
Thirty-sev were caught, besides other
smaller fry.
Rev. Mr.. Warwick has sold his seaside
cottage to a gentleman from Meriden and
for the season to parties from New York.
Further investigation into the case of
Charles E. Shelley has brought to light the
fact that on the 18th August, 1884, the
train for Denver, on which it is supposed
Shelley was passenger, was stopped by the
breaking of the engine about mile from the
station at Weber and near the place where
the body was found. During the long de-
lay which was necessary the passengers left
the cars and strolled around the country. 1t
was probably during this time that Shelley
was killed. No baggage check was found
and a thorough search has failed to find any
trace of his baggage. A pistol was found on
his person with one chamber unloaded. At
the inquest verdict of suicide was rendered.
As only few dollars in silver was found on
him, and he was known to have had con-
siderable amount of money with him, it
looks as though there was foul play Mr.
working up the case during the entire winter
and has brought it to point where the iden-
tity of the body is almost certain Mr.. Shell
ley has the sympathy of the whole communi-
ty In his grief at the loss of this his only
child.

A Generous Offer From a Stranger.
An incident occurred at Bunnell's Museum
last evening not down on the bills The
contest of beauty not only creates excitement
among the visitors, but is the cause of con-
siderable friendly rivalry among the beauties.
After the votes had been counted last even
ing little brunette slipped away from her
associates and lodged into Mr.. BunnelI's Of
fee, where were seated several reporters. 1t
was Miss Lottie johnson, aged twenty-one
years, from Columbus, Ohio, and known in
the show as No. %. She wished simply to
tell Mr.. Bunnen that if she could win the
$50 prize she would cheerfully make it q
present to the New Haven orphan asylum,
as she stood in no need of it herself
She would like permission at the afternoon
and evening exhibitions for this closing day
to answer any respectful questions that might
be asked by the audience. Mr. Bunnell cheer
fully granted her request and wished her the
best of luck. Subsequently Miss johnson
told reporter that she had passed her child
hood in an orphan asylum; indeed, she had
been educated in school and graduated in a
class composed wholly of orphans. The gen
erous offer of the little miss was quite popu-
lar last evening with the museum attaches
but each and all of them under the circum-
stances deemed it out of place to- use their in
huence in favor of anyone. IF any friend of
the asylum, however, is on hand this after
noon and evening to remind visitors of the
offer of Miss johnson the orphans will GER
tainly get the $50 gold piece
