LIZZIE RYAN's BODY FOUND.

Tho Girl supposed to Have CommnGGed d
 Suicide While Temporarily Insame. STANFORD, June 10.-The mysterious dis appearance of Lizzie Ryan, a cook employed at the Ferguson mansion in this town, kept the local police force and the friends of the young woman busy all day yesterday.
 The woman was about g years of age, and came here from Ireland about ear ago. She had been in the employ of the Misses Ferguson for about a month. Early yester- day morning she arose and went from her sleeping room to the kitchen. When the other servants went down stairs an hour or so later she was not to be found. During the day one of the knives in the pantry was found to bear blood stains, and had evil dently been partly wiped with a towel This increased the mystery. None of the woman s belongings had been touched, and none of her clothing had been taken except that which she wore when at work.
 Last night the police determined to search the Mill river, which flows 150 feet from the rear of the house. The search was rewarded by the finding of the woman's body Fin mid stream. The only mark of violence was a slight gash at the throat, which may have been made by the blood-stained knife found in the pantry.
 It was evidently case of suicide while laboring under temporary insanity. The fellow servants of the deceased state that she had complained of pains in her head for the last few days, and had suffered from her head this week. Her nearest relative in this country is Thomas Ryan of Portchester.

Back From St. LOuis-They WhOOp It

 An observer writes: stThe Connecticut delegation to the Democratic national convention at St. Louis arrived home Satur- day. They with singular unanimity and re- markable appearance of honesty pronounce the convention great success, and wonderful to state, come back, if not with laurel wreaths upon their respective brows, with asseTera- tions to all the reporters that they believe their ticket is going to win. While they could hardly be expected to blow anybody y's political trumpet but their own, it is some what singular that none of them enlarge upon St. Louis drinking water or mention any substitute or antidote for the same that might | have assisted to keep up the enthusiasm of | the mighty host of Democrats at the conven l tion and prevent depression oyer the party's wonderful, but characteristic feat in strad- ding the tariff question, in keeping the free trade shouters in the background,
 and in dsmolishing the hopes of | the alleged civil service reformers All the
 same they cannot pull the wool over the out
 and out protectionists in their party nor hoist | the Mills bill into more accountability. By the way, several engineering Seventh ward Democrats are corrected in their slight mis- apprehension. The Mills bill is not engi- neered by Hon. William J. Mills of New | Mexico, who formerly was so powerful and \ popular factor in New Haven local politics, that gentleman being otherwise engaged at present. But the boys all agree>that they
 had a good time in St. Louis and came home | all present and accounted for, none fortu | nately having been lost on the road
 and they will now endeavor tc | harmonize the New Haven Democracy and
 infuse little enthusiasm for the ticket.
 They propose to go in strong for the noble ! old Roman end of the ticket at any rate and proclaim with a vigor worthy of better | cause that there are no flies on Thurman
 Then, too, genial Tom Waller is expected tc

 boys in order and give them a few private pointers in the herculean task before them o1 | carrying Connecticut for free traden

mILHTARY MATTERS.
Che order for 1he General Eneam

The Order for the General Encamp-
 ment.
 General F. E. Camp, in speaking of the Connecticut National Guard, says that the order for the encampment will probably be issued this week. The entire brigade will be ordered into camp from the 20th to the 25th of August. The new improved common tent will be issued for the use of all enlisted men, rendering the camp more comfortable as we'll as more graceful in it's appearance. These tents in former encampments have been used only by the officers. They have wall two feet in height, thus giving much more air space as well as much better oppor- tunity for ventilation than the ones formerly used. The adjutant general has directed the quartermaster general to exchange the old tents for the new so far as practicable and to draw from the government the additional number required for the entire command.
 The annual encampment of the First brig ade New Hampshire National Guard began Saturday, and the troops will remain in camp until next Friday afternoon. Governor Sawyer and staff have gone into camp to re- main during muster

WEST HAVEN NOTES.
A Surprise Party Many Teams out Yesterday-The Young Republicans.

| A Surprise Party - Many Teams Out 1 Yesterday-The Young Republicans. Charles Albert Jordan, who is engaged in I business in this city, was meditating at his home in West Haven near the Wood resi-
 dence Friday night on the possibility of Cleveland's carrying Connecticut when sud ! denly there was a vigorous tapping at the I front door and opening it he beheld a small army of familiar faces charmingly set off with new spring bonnets and all hands sup piled with baskets and bestowing upon him shower of greetings MT. Jordan, not be- ing at all dismayed, the house being large enough with plenty of acreage in the rear, welcomed the visitors in and all enjoyed 6 right merry time, the ladies especially, as
 they were so delighted at viewing by moon light the armies of beautiful little pet chicks of choice species in the spacious henneries in
 the rear of the place. The party broke up at about midnight, all much pleased with their visit.
 Yesterdays fine weather brought life and activity to the shore in the way of car riages, mostly laden with ladies and gentle men. The roads are in good order, though very dusty, despite the amazing lot of water that fell last month. West Haven soil turns dusty as quickly as the soil in the city, the city roads being as dusty as if no rain had fallen since last fau.
 The Young Mems Republican club is doing finely. Its officers are all live men and are well selected to keep the party's camp fire brightly burning.
 Mr. Cox, proprietor and owner of the s urf House, has been brightening up his place and making number of improvements, prepsra- tory to his summercampaign at the shore.
 After a long session last Saturday the county commissioners decided to grant I- censes to the following applicants to sell at Savin Rock this summer. They are H. J. McCabe, 0. Fl. Harris, John Cox, James Car berry, J. A. Lynch and Frank McGinn. Emanuel Reiner applied for license to sell at his restaurant at Savin Rock and at Rail- road Grove. There was considerable oppo- sition to the granting of such licenses. The commissioners decided to grant Mir. Reiner a license to sell beer at his restaurant and re- jeeted the application to sell liquor there or beer in the grove.
