FaithfuIAnd Efficient.

The report that Postal Clerk Isaac Bishop had been requested to resign after thirty years' service was at first not credited by his friends, but it appears to be true, and the only cause for the change is that he may
 give place to a younger man. The rules of the service, said gentleman yesterday, are unbending and MT. Bishop, being fifty five years old, has had to go, although there is no doubt that he, being active and healthy,
 could serve the department far better than a younger man, owing to his experience and knowledge of the business. He has had no fault found with him. It seems to be that his dismissal does not speak well for the new administration and the proclamations it has made, and it looks as if he is ordered out because somebody has got to be provided for.

The Closing Parade And Ball At The
 Armory-An occasion of Much Inter-
 est.
 The festivities of the German Turner so- cieties at Waterbury continued through yes- terday with increased interest. The number of societies was greatly augmented by the ad- dition of large numbers of the Y. G. A. A. from Hartford, New Britain, Meriden and New Haven, swelling the number of men in the procession yesterday to nearly 800. The line formed at the armory shortly after 10 B. m., with six policemen as an escort, led by Lieutenant Dodds. Fred Maregraff was grand marshal and his aids were Charles Stage and Michael Voight. The City band led the Concordias near the front of the line and the American band was with the Turn CTS. The men looked good and marched well, some of the young men attract ing attention by their Japanese parasols. The line of march was from the armory to Bank street, thence to Grand and to South Elm, to East Main and to Cherry and down North Main street to Grove. From Prospect street the line marched to West Main street and countermarched to the City Hall, where there was a review by Mayor Boughton and other distinguished citizens. After the re- view the men marched to South Main street and to Grand, whence they went direct to the grove, arriving about 11:3O Then the work of making it pleasant for all began and there was no lapse until late in the after noon.
 There was more than the usual interest at Union armory last night The names of those who have won prizes was announced by the judges, and the fest terminated by grand ball, music being furnished by Am phion orchestra.

The Interest Nm The Wallingford
 Case Ewing Outline Coroner Still
 At Work-A Mysterious Package.
 Yesterday in Wallingford was one of the most quiet days since the ghastly discovery of the human trunk in the shoe box one week ago Sunday. The interest in the affair has quieted down and the colonel and others who lounge around the postofice were yes- terday talking over the probabilities of Bulkeley, of Hartford, for governor they having ceased talking about the murder. Constable Rod Austin was almost sick and feeling very down-hearted over the mystery surrounding the murder. Early yesterday morning, however, Coroner Mix went to Wal lingford and obtained the two pieces of hair found by Constable Austin Monday, near the scene of where the box was found. He did not take the piece of flesh however, not con- sidering it of enough value to have it exam ined. The coroner left Wallingford early in the afternoon and went up the road probably | to Yalesville where it is expected he paid | another visit to the slaughter house where the murder might have been committed. The coroner returned l to this city on the train due here at $50 l o'clock and when seen by COURIER reporter l he said there was nothing new in the case. l de had with nlm, however, packaSe aoouU two feet long by one foot wide, done up in
 heavy paper. This package the coroner kept
 out of reach and did not say what it con | tained, but it looked very much like board
 and may be the pieces of board found by
 Deputy Sheriff Beadle in the old we'll. Most
 of the Wallingford people say that this case
 will always remain as deep mystery as it is
 now. while others shake their heads and say, s'Only wait until things have had a chance
 to become quieted down.; and others look
 for some startling developments in the
 case. A man who has known the 1 George Richardson family for the past twen- | ty years said yesterday: "The theory that the l body may be that of man named Warner, | a son -in-1aw of Richardson, is the best one l yet advanced, and one that caught my eye in
 a minute. Richardson and his son have
 both disappeared, so it is stated, and so has 1 Warner i understand, however, that Mrs.
 Richardson says Warner is in Middlebury, but would not believe her, and think it
 very probable he may be the victim. How
 ever; with the hair and flesh should think I the State ought to make something out of
 the case, but time alone will tell what is to follow"

To the members of the old North church these meetings in the old lecture room bring back pleasant memories of the past, when in seasons of re- vival the place packed full of eager lis teners. The whole front of the church light ed up beams far and wide across the Green, while MT. Murray's firm voice leading the whole assemblage in song, and the voices of exhortation and prayer add power to the gospels cheering light and word. Rev. Mir.

ANOTHER IDLEWGLD VICTIM.

The Body of c. A. TObey of Norfolk,
 Virginia, a Victim of the Idlewfld
 Disaster, Found Floating in the
 Sound Near Southport.
 Captain William H. Holloway, of the menhaden steamer John A. Morgan, arrived at Bridgeport yesterday afternoon from New York. When off Southport Captain Hallo- way discovered corpse floating in the water. A boat was lowered and being sunk under the object seen was raised to it's proper DO. sition bearing the body of the drowned man. The corpse had, it was plainly to be seen, been in the water for a long time. It lay upon it's face, and the sailors being super stitious and in awe of the coroner did not turn it over, but covering it with canvas lowed it in the rear of the stern. One hand is missing, the hair on the head is gone, and the face an indistinguishable mass of flesh, resulting from the depredations of the fish. From some letters found on the body it was identified as that of .. A. Tobey of Norfolk, Va, lumber merchant and one of the un- fortunate victims of the Idlewild disaster.
