GRAND ARMY MATTERS.

Work At Admiral FoOte Post-A Re-
quest For R Return of Picnic Tickets.
Three comrades were mustered into Ad-
miral Foote post on Saturday evening and
several new recruits were proposed for mem
bership.
The picnic committee reported that the
picnic at Savin Rock on Thursday last had
been ftgrand success" but they were not
prepared to give full report regarding the
financial success of the affair owing to the
fact that several of the comrades holding
tickets had not made their returns regarding
the number of tickets sold and the bills of
expenses were not yet all in. They hope to
give nearly complete report at the meeting
of the post on next Saturday evening. This
| evening the committee will meet at D. s.
Thomas Rapid Transit printing office, No.
ISL Chapel street, at 7:15 o'clock, and they
| earnestly request all comrades holding tick
| cts to make their returns at that time The
| committee also request parties who drew
prizes at their picnic to call and get them at
| the 'Rapid Transit Office with as little DELAY
as possible, as the proprietor needs the room
which they occupy for his legitimate bust
| ness. There are about thirty prizes which
have not been called for, some of them being
| quite valuable. It is presumed that many Of
| them were drawn by parties out of the city,

Communicated
Rev. DIR. GunsauIus at The United
Church.

To those who we're so fortunate as to hear
the Rev. DIR. Gunsaulus, of Baltimore, in the
United church, where he has preached for
two Sundays, it is needless to say anything;
to those who did not we can only regret that
they missed a treat rarely enjoyed even in
this city of good preaching. In the prime of
early manhood, with a face and figure of
exceptional beauty and grace, and a voice of
great compass and at times of singular pa
thos, he is and will be marked man of his
times. Scholarly, but not too deep for poor
mortal minds to understand, earnest and
devout in manner, with touching and thrill
ing appeals to the heart and conscience of
every man, he impresses you as a spiritual
minded Christian, wide awake to all the in
terests of the day and alert to do the work
which God has given him the power to do
We understand that he has a large and enthu-
siastic church in Baltimore, and to the fact
that he is spending his summer vacation at
Morris Cove do we owe the great pleasure
which we have had in hearing him. Every
day he may be seen lounging on the piazza of
his little box of a cottage, or swinging in a
hammock on the lawn-possibly studying
nature as seen on that lovely shore. In q
flannel shirt and crushed hat and high wad-
ing boots you would scarcely recognize the
elegant young preacher who held your rapt
attention yesterday in the pulpit. Let US
hear him somewhere again, say many who
heard him then. l..

WALL1NGFoRD, Aug. 8.-This town was
thrown into wild excitement to-day by
startling discovery which was made this
noon. The case adds another to the fear
fully increasing list of Connectieut's muir
ders and mysteries. At noon to-day as Ed
ward Terrell, well known citizen of this
place. was with his dog passing through a
swamp in the western part of the town about
three miles from the depot he noticed his
dog, which had run into clump of bushes,
was behaving singulsrly, which impelled
him to approach to see what attracted the
dogs attention. He discovered in the bushes
an old shoe box in which was the dead body
of a man without head, arms or legs. The
discovery was reported as soon as possible to
the authorities and an examination was
| made by Medical Examiner DIR. McGaughey
of this place, who had the remains removed
to suitable room to await the examination
| tomorrow by the coroner. There was moth
| ing on the remains or in the box
| TO afford any clue. The remains
had been dead apparently about four or five
1 days. Terrill, who found the remains, il

man in the woods a few weeks ago. Nc

dered man. Fuller has, however, beer
missing for months. He came to New
Haven last January and drew 81, 500 pension
| money, mostly back pension money, ano
since that time nothing has been heard Of
him. There was no clothing on the body Of
the man found to-day and nothing on the
box that would afford any clue to unrave
the mystery. From appearance the mar
| was from thirty to forty years of age.
