HARTFORD,s KISSING GIRL.
She is Found and the Hurd Woman COnfesses and the Schumaker Girl is Arrested.

She is Found and the Hurd Woman
 COnfesses and the Schumaker Girl
 is Arrested.
 Yesterday morning Lizzie Hurd, the woman whose connection with the man Seeley and the disappearance of the girl Jennie Schumaker, was told yesterday morn ing, confessed all she knew of the matter. Her story was, that the Schumaker girl came voluntarily to the room on Sheldon street, and spent the night as already re- lated The next evening Saturday. the woman and girl, having stayed indoors till dusk, went to Plainville, where they spent Sunday and Monday at the house of Mrs. Barnes. Monday evening both came to this city and stayed at the house on Hicks street, where later the Hurd woman was arrested. Tuesday morning the Schu- maker girl went back to Mrs. Barnes place in Plainville and was still there. The story was so probable that Patrolman ONeil was sent to Plainville on a morning train and al 6:50 last evening Jennie Schumacher was en tered on the police blotter as occupying cell 10 and was charged with being an incorrigi- ble girl On her arrival at the station she was very closely questioned by Captain Bill and told story that coincided with that told by the Hurd woman. The girl admits that she did not go to the evening school at all Friday night, but direct to the room of the Hurd woman. This ad mission will diminish the gravity of the charge which it was hopsd could be substan- tiated against Seeley, though he is doubtless ly morally just as guilty. There is, however, the charge of adultry which undoubtedly can be fully proved, and on this, if he gets no sentence for his latest crime, this fellow can be sent to State prison for quite satis- factory term of years.-Courant.

FAIR HAVEN.

Mrs. Darton Recovering RapidIy-- Funeral serv1ces-Interest1Rg News and Notes.
 The funeral services over the remains of John H. Stoddard, will take place to-day | from his late home on Houston street. l Miss Eliza Ives, Msriden lady aged 60 years, died yesterday morning of gangrene | caused by fever sore. The funeral services will take place to-day from her late home on l on Exchange street. The interment will be | in the Fair Haven cemetery. The deceased had no near relatives in Fair Haven. Judge Deming's lecture, ''The Land of Promise, , was largely attended last evening The steroptlcon views were elegant and much admired.
 The St. James church is rapidly assuming
 holiday appearance inside. The work of
 trimming it will be accomplished tomorrow
 night.
 The neighborhood temperance meetings are
 being largely attended now. and indications
 are that there will be a general revival of the
 temperance question in Fair Haven the
 coming winter. The rink meetings are also
 being better attended as the season grows colder.
 Fair Haven weather prophets predict that the weather will settle down in good earnest now, and that steady cold weather will pre- vail. This causes many of the boatmen to shiver in anticipation of the freezing up of the channel again, thereby preventing small ooaIS rom plylng lnelr VocatlOn. The new Tomlinson bridge will, it is thought, make it easier to keep the channel clear, as it's wide opening will prevent ice from massing itself at the mouth of the harbor as it did last year. Others, however, doubt this, and think that if the weather should come off cold and remain so the channel would become so filled up that no small boats could get through

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

Town Treasurer David Miles of Mil-
 ford Gored to Death By n Mad Bull
 at His Home In Milford Yesterday.
 MT. David Miles, aged about seventy years and who for many years was town treasurer of Milford, and an old and esteemed farmer of that place, was gored to death by bull on his farm yesterday morning. The bull was two year old Holstein weighing about any disposition to be ugly and had always been tied irl a box stall in the barn by means of a rope attached to a ring in the bulls nose. As usual yesterday morning MT. Miles went out into the shed to do some chores and had gone into the bulls stall to feed him, when suddenly the bull jerked the ring out of his nose and before MT. Miles, who was bending over the feed box, noticed that the animal was loose it had buried ore of his horns in Mr. Miles left temple. That blow knocked Mir. Miles into corner of the shed and rem dered him unconscious. For him the bull started at once. MT. Miles lay on his left side under the shed and into that part of his body the horns of the maddened animal were plunged time and time again.
 A few minutes after he had been struck down his son Edward entered the shed and there saw that the bull had broken loose. Blood was running in a stream from his nose and mouth and he appeared anything but do cile at that moment. While peering about to see what was the best manner of getting the bull under restraint, he saw the body of his father in the corner with the blood streaming from the wound in the old gentleman's head. He noticed also that his fathers clothes had been nearly torn off from his body and saw exposed that part of his parents body which had been gored by the animal.
 Running out into the yard Edward caught up an axe and returned to subdue the bull. The moment the latter saw him reappear in the shed he lowered his head and made right for where he stood. Edward did not have time enough to raise the axe to brain the animal before he (the animaD had with one horn ripped up his trousers leg.
 Probably the son would have met the same fate as his father had not the hired man ar rived on the field and diverted the bulls at tention until some of the neighbors arrived, and they shot the mad creature as it was making lunge for the hired man.
 When MT. Miles body was removed from the shed to the house the horrible goring which he had undergone was fearful to be- hold, and one of his arms was broken in ad- ditio0 to the other iniuries

 Attention is called to the peculiar features of the school, it being private charity but incorporated and employed by the State for the custody and guardianship of girls. It is designed not prison but as a place of temporary custody and instruction, and the object is reformation first and afterward the placing of the girls where they can take care of themselves At the close of the fiscal year on June 30th last the funds were sufficient to pay all debts. Since that date the State allowance has been S2. 70 in stead of $3 per week for each inmate, and the period that this rate has been in force has been so short that it's effect cannot yet be

The thirty-third anniversary of Old Croton Engine company, when in the face of much opposition it was run on strictly temperance principles, will be duly celebrated at the Grand Union Hotel in this city, on Wednes- day evening, January 13, next. The L. S. O. organization, which came into being on the disbandment of the company, have never failed to assemble on each recurring ami versary, and talk over old frenen days and also to honor he memory of their comrades who ''sleep their last sleep" Those who re- main are scattered all over the country, and every recurring anniversary brings some of them hundreds of miles, that they may greet once more he friends of their youth who struggled so manfully with them in up- holding the right.
 At the last meeting, it was voted to invite the families of L. s. o. to participate in the gathering of S6, and it is expected that a large number of the wives and children and perhaps grandchildren will be treated at the coming anniversary.

Frenck Pe essant Life.


 The family fire, so far as husband and wife are concerned, is decidedly happy, and this must be largely attributed to the excessive sobriety They have alike one aim in the south of France, for which no pain or trouble is considered too great, namely, to pinch and save wherever possible, so as to lay by little store They are of an affectionate disposi- tion and quarrels between them are rare. They vary this peaceful monotony, however, by lifelong fueds between near neighbors and relatives always springing from jealousy, Brothers and sisters frequently divided by this wretched feeling, one of the many baleful effects of the partage force. How far it has fostered selfshness and greed the fol lowing instances will show. The writer met one day a peasant acquaintance in great grief He was literally sobbing as he car ried his burden. In answer to symapathet- ic inquiry he told in broken voice that his wife had that morning presented him with twins. His sorrow unappeasable. Another peasant friend spoke of 8 neighbor in the following phrase, given verbatim: s'Mais celui-la a GU le bonheur de perdre soeur apres Sd marriage, mais avant pu'elle await des enfants," which he clearly thought to be the most enviable luck. Lastly, girl or IS years tne uh uo bitterly because little brother had been born, "pour partager Pheritage,' as she said sobbing. Often tLe little hoard of say .AAs mony is dissipated in a Court or Jusf511e ov T some petty boundary dispute or the ikA Whatever improvement a man makes upon his land is viewed with mean envy and restless jealousy by his neighbors, and whenever one seeks to rise all the others combine to pull him down again to their level. The consequence is a dull stagna- ton. Partage force has much to answer for. The excessive subdivision has shut out all the large land owners and reduced those who once were gentry to the condition of peasants. The result is that there is no cap ital in their midst, no wealth and no enter prise to give a stimulus to thought and fresh ideas of cultivation. The old methods and the old form of farming implements are in use just as they were a century ago.
