Emmy hastened to her little sitting
room Immediately after her interview
with Lawson, who vowed vengeance for
being refused. Her life of peace had
been disturbed for the first time. Truly,
she had reached womanhood with it's
trials and pleasures. They were strange
ly mixed then. She was not accustomed
to anything contrary to her wishes; she
had never known what it was to run to
. mother for sympathy or advice. She
lOnged for some one to whom she could
open her heart.
"Oh, Nellie" she said to herself as
che stood gazing at her strange refieo
ton in the mirror. II did not know IN
TO me, listening to my childish talk, en-
truly. you have been more than a sister:
how l do long to sit On that dear old
sofa, where l have spent the hsppiest
moments of my life; it is now that miss
you. Oh that could sleep year
away"
She took refuge in her favorite low
chair, where she sat clasping her knees,
looking into space; trying to picture
West and his sister in their little parIOr.
A gentle knock reused her, she brushed
away the tears which had risen, and
babe the person enter, imagining it to
be her maid. The door opened, but q
little, and the voice of the lrishman-
who was q privileged supernumerary-
said, MAY come In, Miss Emmy"
Yes, Michael, what is the matter?

Faith, no." he answered as he came
in aud stood with his back against the
wall, rarely did he enter this sacred
place, and his appearing now, made
Emmy wonder.
"Nisther Clayton went out while you
was talking wild that, that gintlemaD,
you'll excuse me holiness Miss, but you
know my old heart belongs to you, and |
pickle after your talk wild him, knowed
by the look he gave me, when let him

Patrick Clafy Killed on the WatertoWn
 Branch Near Oakvi1le.

1T A>A-ON- -
 Branch Near Oakvi1le.
 The mangled remains of Patrick Clafy were found on the track of the Watertown branch of the Naugatuck railroad about II o'clock last night. A man named Whitney, employed by theOakville Pin company came mon the remains while on his way home from the Oakville hotel. The spot where thev were discovered is about half 8 mile north of the Oakville station. The body 1av face downward and was cut in two near the thighs, the legs being out side the track and the body inside. It was horribly mutilated. There was large gash over the left eye from which the blood was oozing and the left arm was broken in several places Whitney immediately re- turned to the hotel, and in company with several others returned to: the scene. Parties recognized the remains as those of Claffy, who lived in Oakville with wife and i several children He was 50 years old. It was 1915 o'clock this morning when Selectmen J. B. Doherty was Dotifed o1 the accident He called Undertaken Dillon who. in company with an assistant and Officer Reed, brought the remains to this city. Claffys wife learned of the accident this morning.
 It is impossible to ascertain how tht accident occurred The position of the remains would lead to the belief tha Claffy was lying on the track. The wound over the eye may have been inflicted ir several ways It was thought that Claffy started for home on the 7:35 p. m. Water town train and that he passed Oakvill' and attempted to jump from the train ane fell in under the wheels. Conductor Cool is positive that he was not on the trai1 and Engineer Baker says he did not SCI anybody on the track on his trip to Water town last night and did not notice an. peculiar motion of the engine as is usual il running over anything on the track There were no signs of any blood on tn wheels of the locomative or cars thi morning which is frequently the cas- when man is run over.
 Medical Examiner North made an in vestigation and pronounced the death ac cidental
 Mrs Claffy came to the city to-day an | the remains were buried this afternoon.

A Proposition that Recalls the Necessity
 for Better Building Laws.
 The Prichard property, at Bank and Grand streets, has been available for lease for a term of ninty nine years for some time, and it has been considered that the property would be purchased, but it has gone begging. Now it is proposed by the proprietors, Miss s. J. Prichard and Miss c. c. Prjchard, to erect three story build ing on the Bank street front from the pres ent dwelling to the little brick building adjoining Benton's photograph gallery. In connection with this it is proposed to build one story addition to the house on the Bank street front. Application for per init has not yet been made to Fire Marshall Snagg, but in the light of the fight over the addition to the coffee house it is prob able that he would refuse one. It will be remembered that Mir Snagg issued per init to Dr Platt to build that addition and that he was criticised by the fire commis- sioners for his action. An injunction was issued but the superior court dissolved it and the addition went up. The necessity of an ordinance prohibiting the construc- tion of additions to wooden buildings was advocated at the time and such an ordin- ance, it is believed, was recommended by the board of fire commissioners at the time, but nothing has been heard of it SiIce.
