THE BRIDGEPORT MYSTERY.

Mamie Madden'S Death-The C1rcums
 stantIal Evidence Points to the
 Mother as the Murderer-Shei is Under
 Arrest.
 The investigation made by Coroner Holt, of Bridgeport, regarding the death of little Mamie Madden has brought out some strsng circumstantial evidence against Mrs. Thomas Madden, her mother, indicating that she was the direct cause of the child's death. The parties whose evidence was taken are all neighbors and dislike to say much about the case, not wishing to become mixed up in the affair." Some of them were inclined to with hold what they know in the matter and Cor oner Holt had the utmost trouble to obtain straightforward information.
 One of the lady witnesses stated that Mrs. Madden had said to her: "I must have kill ed Mamie, but don't know how did it.. I ana sorry did it. It was drink that did it, and am sorry that didn't heed what you have told me about drinking so much. ]" Others testified to the same line of facts.
 Coroner Holt judges from the evidence that Mrs. Madden had not been sober for two weeks. He said the family have been helped by the town, and Selectmen recently found that Mrs. Madden had over $400 to her credit in the savings bank.
 Prosecuting Attorney Chamberlain issued a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Madden yes- terday afternoon and she was arrested and looked up. The case will come before the Bridgeport City court this morning.

Yesterdays New York Evening Post says: ''The first trial of boycotter for law break ing has just occurred at New Haven, where a walking delegate who had been trying to break up another mans business, has been fined $50 and costs. The case goes to 8 higher court upon appeal, but no doubt ap- pears to be entertained that the decision will be sustained. The idea that one man may deliberately go to work to ruin another mans business is not likely to hold water in the courts of any State.

The subject of his sermon has not as yet been announced, but that it will be A masterly piece of oratory there is no donbt, as Father Lilly is noted orator in the Cath olic church, and one of the best expounders of religious doctrines in the order. The two priests were yesterday afternoon reviewing their surroundings with much satisfa action, and expressed themselves as being delighted with the place. Father Hartigan when seen Oy a reporter Sa1Q: Just what we are liable to do here I cannot at present say, but Father Higgins, who is to be the pastor here, will arrive tomorrow and will probably know all about our arrangements No radical changes will be made in the parish.

The head of the order in this country is the pro vincial Rev. D. J. Maher. Our head house is at the novitiate in Springfield, Ky.
