NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. r. \ remark
unearthed yesterday 10y II. G. =. Adams,

He broke into the house of George Peck
Jr., in Cheshire, during the absence of the
family and released Mrs. Caroline Brooks,
an eighty-four-year-ol widow, who had
been confined in Il room there for over
two years. 1t appears that Mrs. Brooks
became too aged to care for herself and
desiring to avoid her neice whom she dis
liked and distrusted turned over all her
property to the town of Cheshire the
town agreeing to hold the property IN
trust and provide for Mrs. Brooks during
her life time. This was two years ago
and the town at that time consulted with
George Peck, Jr., for Mrs Brooks support
This was done without consulting the
old lady, and she was Mortified when
driven to her new quarters to find that
she had been taken to the house of her
niece. Mrs. Brooks was at once locked
into the room where she has remained
until yesterday. The floor of the room
was covered with fifth and the stencil was
terrible The poor old creature was COW
cred with rags and was picture Of alb
Ject misery. she was half starved, being
fed only once day, and her bedding con
sisted of Il bundle OF rags of most filthy
| description, the room had never been
cleaned, and the old lady had not left it
since placed there. She was the widow of
Aaron Brooks, a soldier in the war of 1872
Her Imprisonment became known to the
nighborS and Dr. Adams was notified,
with the above results. She was removed
to the town poor house.

tact during his travels. Bray made it II
point to interview all the knights of the
road as to their present condition end
what led them to take the road. OppO-
site each mans name was bis an
sWer. One hundred and seventy-seven
said that they were out of work because
there was no work to do. Three hundred
and seven were in favor of free trade and
against IL high protective tariff Thirty
seven said that high tariff meant pro-
lection for American wOrkinGmen, and
that their poverty was due to uvrr-lndul-
gence in strong drink. Over 100 voted
Cleveland's administration Il failure, so
far as making times better, and 2l5 put
the blame on Congress for not establish

KILLED HIS WIFE EVA.


BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Sunday night
Charles Herman, an unemployed German
butcher who had been on a protracted
spree, returned to his home and quarrelled
with his wife Eve. Since that time moth
ing had been seen of Mrs. Herman,
although Herman visited his home regu-
larly at night and left in the morning.
The absence of Mrs Herman caused one of
the neighbors to call at her rooms this
morning, but finding them locked the
doors were forced open and her body, with
the throat cut from ear to ear, was found
lying on the floor near the bed. There
was evidence that Il terrible struggle had
taken place. A post mortem examination
shows that Mrs. Herman had been dead
three or four days. The whereabouts of
Herman are unknown.
